Good night. Flame away. Have fun. But I've outargued much more difficult foes in the courtroom then I've faced here. Facts and objectivity have always been my greatest assets. You might try it sometime. My my, aren't we full of ourselves?
After getting as soundly thrashed as you did, I wouldn't advertise.

I'm not buying it, either.
They outed themselves only because they wanted to get out in front of the story.
They have lost any semblance of the moral authority, objectivity, and integrity
that it takes to be a world-class news organization.

You're right. But beyond that, someone needs to explain to me why CNN news coverage has always been so slanted with regards to how we should handle the Iraq problem. They, of all people, should have supported the president and pointed out the impotence of the U.N.
I could almost believe that Saddam has planted subversives at CNN
To: The Hon. Galahad Threepwood
I just watched the FoxNewsWatch dude (don't remember his name) and he found CNNs excuses extremely lame.
He said, "Sure...they didn't have to give the name of the guy who did X,Y,orZ, but that doesn't mean they couldn't have generally demonstrated that Iraq was a brutal, sadistic regime."
He's gonna be fun to watch this weekend. I can't wait to hear Cal Thomas on this. (Thomas...imho...is gifted with words.)

We've all seen that kind of parsing many, many times.

I felt awful having these stories bottled up inside me. Now that Saddam Hussein's regime is gone, I suspect we will hear many, many more gut-wrenching tales from Iraqis about the decades of torment. At last, these stories can be told freely........ Eason Jordan is chief news executive at CNN. Whether it is in Iraq or in Cuba, CNN was and is pefectly willing to tell only one side of the story in exchange for the good graces of the local tyrant.
"CNN. The most trusted name in news." That is their motto and it is sickening.
To: coteblanche
I am not saying there is no bias at CNN. There is. I repeat - they have done a good job covering the war. Dude, whatever you're smoking; send some this way.

Burns was soft-pedaling Jordan's personal complicity, IMHO, not CNN's overall complicity in being the public PR arm of a murderous regime.

If they're not telling the truth, how can you say they're doing a good job of covering the war? Pul-leeze.

Howlin, I guess we shouldn't be surprised. Absolutely horrifying.
To: texasbluebell
Thanks for letting me know about that post. I sure hope more pick up on it. I know the left side of the media will try to "spin" it in favour of CNN but I really think these CNN guys need to be taken to task on this in a really hard way.

"CNN. The most trusted name in news." Hah! Not even trusted by the people they were shilling for--Iraq threw them out, too!
