You know what pisses me off? I'LL TELL YOU WHAT PISSES ME OFF!!!
CNN knew that Iraqi employees were routinely subject to abduction, torture and murder. So why did they have so many Iraqi employees? Why did they have any Iraqi employees?
If your Cameraman is going to be pulled of the street and subjected to electroshock torture, then buck your own damn camera around!
If your driver is going to have his family disappeared, buy a map and drive yourselves, you bunch of pampered prima-donnas.
If your secretary, or the girl who brings you coffee is going to raped in some secret police dungeon, maybe you should type your own memos and pour your own coffee.
If the guy who combs Wolf Blitzer's smooth hair-do is going to have his fingernails pulled out, then I would prefer to look at Wolf Blitzer with mussy hair.
Wouldn't you?
But CNN, the bunch of lying, weasel, pampered, holier-than-thou prima-donnas, goes out and hires all of these locals to take care of them and to make sure they look good on camera and never have to break a sweat. Then when the predictable happens, and these people are subject to the predations of the Iraqi regime, they wring their hands and mumble about how there was nothing they could do.
I will never, never again look at a CNN broadcast without immediately spitting on the floor. These people are dead to me.
