The author is delusional. He thinks the leftist makeup of the Media is an accidental product of capitalism.
Walter Cronkite did more to defeat the United States in Vietnam than all of China.
Uh, no.
yeah...I remember that. Just pure luckup lucky fortune they were there at the right place, right time...
It’s too late for CNN. They crossed the line into the Propaganda Media a long time ago and no one will trust them. There are also too many “cord-cutters” and “cord-nevers” who won’t watch them.
The old cnn is dead? Meh. The new cnn will be just as corrupt and irrelevant.
They need to make Anna Navarro and the San Juan Mayor Co-Host a show they can call it “The Rear View.”
Now that I do not agree with. We already know that CNN was colluding with Saddam for access, covering the news the way he wanted it.
Additionally, the CIA tried to warn Arnett that there was a Iraqi communications unit in the basement. Arnett’s reply “I’ve been walking all over the hotel and have seen nothing like that” was so over the top silly it proves he was complicit in the situation.
The luck was having someone as combat proven as Arnett there. If Shaw had been by himself, nobody would have seen anything.
Whatever the redo, it won’t become any less dishonest and misleading.
It costs money to produce unique content - typically with different producer, talking head, programmed guests. Reduce the variety programming while still repeating whatever the memo of the day directs. Costs less, probably gets same ratings.
So yeah, SSDD.
Was you even alive in the sixties? I doubt it very much. The times were different at that time than they are now.
Isn’t his name Peter Arnett with out the second A?
In the 19th paragraph the cause is revealed:
“when CNN’s number of viewers dropped below ... CNN’s owners knew it was time to cut their losses. “
:: They understood their job was to observe what was happening, condense it into a minute-and-a-half of easily understandable facts, and then report those facts to their viewers. ::
While subtly inserting their deeply held communist ideology into the reporting.
1968 Tet Offensive
I solid victory for the US as the NVA used innocents to shield their movements.
Yet, Uncle Walter reported the “slaughter of innocents at the hands of savage soldiers with no moral compass”.
Saigon wrote those words for him.
Wrong! Cronkite and Brokaw were liberals who occasionally remembered that they were Americans. And Jennings, well don’t speak ill of the dead would apply.
Yes, it is Arnett without the extra ‘A’. But I really didn’t think it was worthwhile to discuss. I just spelled it correctly in my response.
Rachel Maddow is MSNBC.
CNN has been moving toward the center the last couple of weeks. They are dying where they are. MSNBC can out loon them every day of the week.
Do you mean Hanoi?
I wouldn’t know, I never watch it.
