I'm listening with headphones on. Sounds like someone's doing a report to a TV camera in the distance...

I had it on for three or four hours yesterday. At one point, you could hear someone who sounded like Arnett doing a broadcast in the distance. He'd say one line, pause, confer with someone, then say another line. About the only thing I could make out was that he had been to the airport and had seen no evidence of coalition forces there. When he was finished, you could hear him thanking someone profusely.

At another point, a reporteress appeared in front of the camera with her makeup towel around her neck while the camera did some closeup focusing. After a while they switched to another camera, just when it was getting interesting.

Another British voice (too fast to be Arnett's) in the background, reporting that a "low-flying aircraft" was "evenutally shot down" by the Iraqis. Sounds of distant explosions.

Yes -- I heard them barking loudly about the same time yesterday -- a security patrol? Or did one of the reporters offend their Iraqi minder?

Unbelievable. I just can't believe we're watching a war from the rooftop in the big thick middle of it.

Fireworks straight ahead -- hope it's the anti-aircraft guns being hammered.

CNN spewing about how we were "invading and occupying" Iraq and how this was gonna cause a "shock wave" of protest in the Arab world. Now hitting the next button on the remote...

rofl

It is physically impossible to watch CNN for more than one minute.

They must hunt all over the world for the most idiotic anti-American jerks they can find.

CNN is not a source of information--it is an apologist for every third world tin horn dictator and wannabe terrorist group on the planet.

They and the New York Times editorial board have to be the only people on Earth that believe that Saddam wears winter coats when it is 100 degrees outside. Perhaps that is because their wives insist on bringing their fur coats when they visit Phoenix in July. ;-)

"What is going on now??? What are they talking about?"

Sounded like someone reading a report? Followed by straight-forward Iraqi music. Right now there is what sounds like Pop Music.

No electricity for lights but obviously electricity for this. I wonder who it is meant for.

There is some weird music playing now. A couple of minutes ago, there were several people doing some chant in Arabic. Very odd.

Here's the feed I'm watching:
