CNN Memo Warns Staff on Reporting Jesse Jackson Scandal Book

I assume Jackson's CNN show comes out of the Chicago studio. Would Jeff Flock have any connection with that?

["The CNN memo obtained by the DRUDGE REPORT, penned from the network's Chicago bureau, points out how the author of SHAKEDOWN: THE LIFE OF THE REVEREND JESSE JACKSON -- may not be trustworthy! . . ."Kenneth Timmerman is a long time writer and investigator touting conservative causes," the CNN memo notes. ]

We really are their enemy; and so they are ours.

Not enough we have to worry about sniveling terrorists; sniveling, lying Liberals can do as much damage to our country; just impact differently.

In the first place, employers have the right to restrict what their employees publish.

We as news and information consumers also have the right to question the "objectivity" and "sincerity" of news organizations like CNN.

No question about that!

This news outlet is NOT as fair and balanced as some would like us to believe. Progressive viewpoints ARE NOT neutral.

Well...I'll reserve judgment until I've seen either the memo or reporting about the book on CNN.

Is that show even still on the air? I know it does (or did) air out of Chicago.

Anyway, it's a big maybe on Flock's involvement in it. I'd lean towards saying probably not, other than having to factor the cost of it into his bureau's budget.

[Timesink]

However, that doesn't mean Flock and Jackson might not possibly have even become friends over the years, which would certainly lead him to write such a memo. You never know...

I've always wondered who wrote the internal CNN memo that said any reference to the U.S.'s bombing of the Chinese embassy in Belgrade had to call the bombing "accidental." Because, without fail, they used that word when talking about that bombing. I know, because I was transcribing CNN at the time.

I wonder if that memo will ever turn up.

Great analogy!

[Brian Allen]

If these are the types of things circling around CNN news desks, we don't have to wonder why CNN cannot be trustworthy or fair about reporting anything. Period!

Yair.

Never mind that CNN has never -- but NEVER -- been a news organization and nor has it EVER "reported anything."

CNN is a twenty-four-hours-per-day, seven-days-per-week, fifty-two-weeks-per-year Informational Production and Promulgation Company for any scumbag-bastard criminal-organization, dictator and or "government" that "hosts" its facilities and permits its collection and accumulation of advertising profits IN RETURN FOR its bullshit broadcasts.

Thus; if it sees a Buck in it for itself, [And/or an opportunity to push the fascist agenda of its criminally-insane founder, his lying-trickster-bastard lickspittle "journalist" -- and his favorite "political agenda" (Institutionalized Envy and Institutionalized Meglamania)] CNN will [And does!] gladly push the Taliban's position in Afghanistan, Soddom Hisson's in Iraq; Mohammed Madhatir's in Malaysia and Al Quaeda's in it's Saudi-Arabian homeland!

CNN, the BBC -- and pretty much every one of their ilk are quite literally the vehicles by way of which the scum of the Earth get their messages out!

Way to go CNN!! Make sure the world sees your leftist bias for what it is! I hope O'reilly runs with this!

You CANNOT overestimate the evil of these people.

They are very dangerous. The socialist ruling class elite want everyone under their influence and control. They want everyone dependent on government and the government run only by the people they pick. Listen to the democrat black caucus -- if that's our future, I want no part of it.

Thank you for the information.

I have seen Mr. Timmerman in a couple of interviews, and he appears to handle himself very well. He seems quite prepared to back up all of his accusations, with specific interviews and information, etc.. I suspect that it is precisely because he is getting the best of the Left in these appearances, that the alarm has been sounded at CNN. One can only hope that their competitors get on them for this, and that it results in all the more publicity for the book.

It's just a snide innuendo to INDICATE THAT HIS PRESENT BOOK IS FICTION.

CNN...Cease Negroe Negativism

But it's a benefit to have this memo coming out of Chicago. CNN Hqs can deny they knew anything about it, just like Walter Issackson did about the sexy Paula (with zipper sound effects) Zahn promo.

Rush and others got a lot of mileage out of that accusation, and I wish I could believe it, but it's nonsense. That wasn't a zipper, it was a phonograph record.

[E.G.C.]

Well,(LOL)that's fine. I haven't seen the memo in it's entirety either.

But the fact remains not a whole lot of people share the belief that some have that CNN is a reputable news otulet or any of the big three networks for that matter.

There used to be a freeper here by the name of dwbh. He was a rabid Democrat party loyalist who took up for CNN and the big three networks. I'm not sure if he got booted off or if he gave up in frustration because now when you type in his name, the message "No current freeper by that name" pops up.

Needless to say the idea that the establsihment media is reputable is something that just doesn't fly here or anywhere for that matter. Just ask the good folks at the Media Research Center

I'm sure we'll find out more in due course. Regards.
