"We have our own measurements for winning"...oh yeah, right, you're not losing. It's that flawed ratings system. Denial...the first stage of grief.
Yeah, at CNN, they don't do it for the ratings or the money, but for the glory of Saddam. hehe.

Networks bracing for war CNN said four staffers remained in Baghdad, including reporters Nic Robertson and Rym Brahimi and producer Ingrid Formanek. Robertson and Formanek -- who was portrayed in HBO's "Live From Baghdad" film -- were stationed in Baghdad when the United States airbombed the city Jan. 16, 1991, to start the Gulf War. CNN did remove two less experienced people reporting for its CNN en Espanol network, a spokesman said.
Asked if it expects to stay in Baghdad, a CNN spokesman said, "The regime has been very, very tough on us in the last several months, and last year they kicked us out."
CNN also said Monday in a staff memo from Eason Jordan, the network's chief newsgathering executive, that it would team up with the New York Times and the Boston Globe on war coverage, with the print reporters working with CNN networks on breaking news and "postpublication exclusive reporting from the region and Washington and New York."
