I was watching the movie 'Control Room' and they claimed that we killed 3 reporters in 3 separate incidents on the same day.

First CBS, then CNN. I think it's in their water supply. Probably a conspiracy or something like that.

I'd like to call for an investigation!
And if CNN is wrong, they should be sued for slander.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt's 1945 State of the Union Address ************************
"And I would express another most serious warning against the poisonous effects of enemy propaganda.
The wedge that the Germans attempted to drive in western Europe was less dangerous in actual terms of winning the war than the wedges which they are continually attempting to drive between ourselves and our allies.
Every little rumor which is intended to weaken our faith in our allies is like an actual enemy agent in our midst--seeking to sabotage our war effort. There are, here and there, evil and baseless rumors against the Russians--rumors against the British--rumors against our own American commanders in the field.
When you examine these rumors closely, you will observe that every one of them bears the same trade-mark--"Made in Germany.
We must resist this divisive propaganda--we must destroy it -with the same strength and the same determination that our fighting men are displaying as they resist and destroy the panzer divisions."

I wasn't aware that there WERE 12 journalists in Iraq. There's one Hell of a lot of propagandists, but not many journalists.

There's a very fine line between crazy and stupid that some say doesn't even exist.I'm not surprised to hear a CNN journalist accusing US soldiers of murdering a dozen journalist in Iraq.I'm convinced that most liberals are so afraid of the Islamic terrorist that they never direct any ill words toward them.It's so bad over there that the news organizations are allowing the terrorist to film themselves committing terrorist acts and then turn it in to a CNN who broadcasts it like it came from one of their cameras.I wonder if they are being payed for their service of spreading the terrorist propaganda to the world.

I am sure CNN would have all the documents from 1970 to prove this.

Clinton said that journalists were legitimate targets, so if you work for PBS and NPR, you should be scared.

Chief News Executive Eason Jordan's admission that CNN withheld information
about torture in the Iraqi regime to protect innocent people opens heated
journalism ethics debate.
Cable News Network chief news executive Eason Jordan's recent admission that he
withheld information about how Iraqi officials intimidated and tortured Iraqis who had
helped CNN over the past decade has opened up a heated debate about journalism
ethics.
Jordan wrote about the situation in an op-ed. In the article, Jordan said that he traveled
to the Iraqi capital 13 times to talk government officials into keeping the CNN bureau
there open and to arrange interviews with Iraqi leaders.
CNN withheld information about torture in Iraq regime
"Each time I visited, I became more distressed by what I saw and heard awful things
that could not be reported because doing so would have jeopardized the lives of Iraqis,
particularly those on our Baghdad staff," he wrote.
In one example, CNN's Iraqi cameraman was abducted, beaten and subjected to
electroshock torture in the basement of a secret police headquarters because he refused
answer what Jordan called "ludicrous" questions. The CNN executive said that if his
network reported on the cameraman's torture, Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein's henchmen
would have killed the man and may have gone after his family and co-workers.
Jordan also wrote that Saddam's oldest son, Uday Hussein, told him in 1995 that he
intended to assassinate King Hussein of Jordan and two brothers-in-law who had
defected to Jordan. The CNN chief told the king, who dismissed the threat, but the two
brothers-in-law returned to Iraq and were later assassinated.

Apparently, we killed the wrong ones.

I too, think that these charges should be investigated and let the truth decide how events play out.
Having said that, I think I know how events will play out. Another Lame Stream Media lie. And like Rathergate, this lie needs to be outed.
