Yawn. Ho-hum. So CNN witheld information which biased its news reports? No surprise here.

Happily, the rest of the world now knows how craven and deceptive liberal's are.

"and that CNN's reporting about the regime was fair and tough-minded."

Now that statement simply doesn't pass The Guffaw Test.

In the end, Mr. Jordan said he came to a conclusion that others had as well: for all of the restrictions and dangers in Baghdad, it was better to be there than not.

Same conclusion reached by France, Germany, and Russia. As far as CNN's credibility, it was already zilch among the coherent. The others will never notice.

"It's very simple," he said. "Do you report things that get people killed? The answer is no."

Of course, this only counts if those who might get killed are part of their staff or information network. If it's only soldiers or other innocent Americans.....well they would have to think twice about depriving the people of their right to know...

CNN's silence re the torture of the Iraqis is typical of the silence of the elitist left wing mediots.

We never heard them complain about the over 100 million innocents murdered by the various communists. In fact the NY Slimes and ABCNNBCBS still love and adore Fidel Castro a Communist mass murderer. A mass murderer who would have allowed the Russians to have destroyed many of our cities in 1962.

So CNN's silence is typical of the elitist maggots who control the media in America and around the world. They never get excited about mass murder and torture unless it is a wet dream about America doing it.

Hate America is their Company Culture.

No one will be hired nor allowed to stay as an employee of CNN unless they hate America, Conservatives, Christians and of course President Bush 24/7/365.

CNN - the Christian No-No network - follows in the footsteps of ABC - the Anybody But Christians network.

(CNN's statement) doesn't pass The Guffaw Test.

Nor does it pass the ROTFLMCO test.

Ambassador "Combover"

That's Ambassador "Khomovar" for you infidels...

This is another coup for Fox -- first network to get tossed out for not mouthing the ba'athist line.

"Mr. Jordan said he came to a conclusion that others had as well..."

The best argument of any four year old is "well....he started it!!..he did it first!!"

Hey! Eason!! My big brother can beat-up your big brother.

Curious how CNN has done no reporting on the abuses of their good buddy Fidel. They do have a branch office in Cuba, just like in Badgag. I'm sure is just a coincidence.
