FURY OVER CNN BIG'S COVER-UP

New York Post ^ | 4/12/03 | MICHAEL STARR and DEBORAH ORIN

[kattracks]

April 12, 2003 -- CNN exec Eason Jordan's stunning admission that he withheld information about Saddam Hussein's atrocities drew a scathing response yesterday from media watchdogs and Iraqi opposition groups.

Jordan, CNN's news chief, wrote an op-ed piece in yesterday's New York Times about horrors he learned of - but didn't report - when he visited Baghdad "to lobby the government to keep CNN's Baghdad bureau open and to arrange interviews with Iraqi leaders."

Can any rational human believe Turner OR CNN? Absolutely NOT.
They are compelled to destroy justice, liberty, and the American way.

cnn is despicable......how can any rational human being think cnn is reputable news source

[alrea]

The left looked away as millions are murdered, raped and tortured by a U.N. member. CNN and the left sought to support the regime of a dictator knowing full well that the killing machine was in place.

CNN, the U.N. and Jimmy Carter are like those Frenchmen that coddled the Nazis. CNN is the network of genocide and the U.N. is the political ally of Saddam.

If Saddam is ever tried for genocide, CNN and the U.N. should be as well.

Where's the link to the actual NYT article? I'd like to bookmark that puppy. CNN is fried.

All those journalists turning themselves into human shields in Baghdad justified staying there in that hotel on "the public's right to know." Now we know (as who should have doubted?) that we only have a "right to know" what the journalists dare to tell us--and that CNN is a bunch of poltroons who are courageous when it is safe.

The First Amendment allows journalism as a form of politics. Not, as the "objective journalist" would have it, as a source of superior wisdom to which we must bow down. Objectivity is merely the hive's term for membership in good standing within the hive.

I heard the rest of the stories on KVI radio ( John Carlson) yesterday afternoon. Something about a man who had no fingernails left at all, and some other people who had been tortured. Pretty gruesome stuff.

**"While [Jordan] ought to get credit for admitting this, what do other networks trade for access?" **

Good question!

[Redleg Duke]

But...but...but, "This is CNN...The Most Trusted Source for News!" Their own words!

[Redleg Duke]

Can someone please start a thread listing those businesses that sponsor CNN? That would make one terrific boycott list!

The News We (cnn) Kept to Ourselves)

[Thebaddog]

Imsgine what could have happened if cnn had pulled its people, and made a campaign out of the atrocities it know of twelve years ago. I betcha they would have won every award out there including a Nobel prize. They can all take their crazy sense of ethics and go away.

[wastoute]

Consider this war may have been unnecessary had CNN done it's damn job.

[Gatún(CraigIsaMangoTreeLawyer)]

I must conclude that Eason Jordan has always been a lowlife COWARD. This is why he never came forward until now when he thinks he´s home safe.
