What's amazing is they seem to show no remorse. The article was out and it's business as usual at CNN. They are hoping we will forget. I haven't. I watched them a lot during the war and now.... I find watching them turns my stomach. "The Most Trusted News" is to me now, "The Most Dishonest News." I just wish FOX News would get some better weekend people (in addition to Tony Snow and News Watch which other FRs reported failed to mention the CNN scandal).

The implications of this article, the full depth of the crimes CNN has committed, are flabbergasting. Jordan's confession is almost matter-of-fact, just skimming along the surface of CNN's depravity, but if you scratch that surface and read between the lines, the full impact of their behavior is far more than the few details he recounts. For twelve years, CNN not only suppressed the truth, they reported Saddam's propaganda just to keep their office in Baghdad and keep their staff from being tortured and killed. They have functioned as the Iraqi Ministry of Propaganda, spreading Saddam's lies all over the world and increasing anti-Americanism everywhere.

CNN isn't just complicit in torture and murder. CNN also served as a bonafide mouthpiece for Saddam's regime, for twelve long years, parroting Saddam's lies while portraying him as a victim of American lies. They NEVER reported objectively, because doing so would have threatened their staff and gotten them kicked out of Baghdad. When faced with the prohibition of reporting the truth, they failed to do the honorable thing, which was to pull its staff out and leave Baghdad. They chose to remain, even though it meant they were forced to report Saddam's lies. By covering up what was going on in Iraq, they condemned thousands of Iraqis to death over those twelve years, and despite knowing what was going on, they did their damnedest to fan the flames of anti-war fervor and portray Bush as a criminal. Even now, they continue to slant their news against Bush and the war, when they know Saddam was guilty as sin. And they do this even though Saddam is no longer around to threaten them. They made a pact with the devil which they cannot break, even now, and the damage they have done is incalculable.

This article was first posted a couple of days ago, and there's tons of discussion on that thread:

"For CNN, the highest prize is "access," to score live camera feeds from a story's epicenter."

If CNN were around in 1939 they would deny Germany was building concentration camps in exchange for an exclusive interview with Eva Braun.

Typical Liberal mind set: Whats in it for me, where's my government check?

I think that most people are missing the real point of all of this. Sure Saddam was a sadistic madman, but at least he wasn't George Bush. It doesn't matter to these people that they were used. They were happy to be used. Their hatred of conservatives, George Bush, and America in general trumps all to this very day.

Here is an e-mail I sent to Hugh Hewett.

Apr. 14, 2003

Hugh, with the revelations that CNN knew of certain bad deeds by Saddam and company for years. And with the knowledge that CNN also enjoys the nickname of Clinton News Network, one can but wonder just what Clinton knew and when did he know it.

For example, did CNN have a heads up on the Cole?
Did CNN have a heads up on 9-11. What did they know and when did they tell Bill?

I can only believe that Billy Jeff has had knowledge of all of these incidents and chose to keep his mouth shut for purely political purposes.

Treason from Arnett? Maybe. Treason by WJC? I would bet on it.
