Vey series!

[afraidfortherepublic]

This may have been stated before (don't have tim eto scroll through all 1000+ replies) but doesn't this just make you hold Ted Turner and Jane Fonda in even greater contempt (if that is possible)? Turner had to know that this was hapening, and so did Fonda. Yet, they have both made pious pronouncements against this war from the beginning. Fonda even gave a speech against the war in Canada last week (now isn't that a surprise!).

They are both the embodiement of hypocrisy!

Please report what Judy says because I cannot bear to see her face lined with deep sadness at the ending of Saddam's murderous regime.

[goodnesswins]

Actually, I doubt Turner or Fonda would know (esp. Fonda).....

[MamaLucci]

What on earth would make them come right out and admit this level of treachery, do ya think?

[rs79bm]

This guy should get fired for this. Holding news such as this. How come they never hold information like that when it happens in the U.S.? No matter how bad it is? I mean, the first sight of bad news here in the U.S. and CNN is on top of it. In Iraq? Nope, we can't report that. I find this bogus.

[Howlin]

I have no idea, ML; for once, I am at a loss for words. It just keep rolling around in my head.

My only thoughts are what you said earlier, that they may expect something to be found.

Be sure to read 744 though.

More info please. I just realized I don't get CNN, not that I'm complaining. CSPAN and CSPAN2 and CNNfn, but no CNN. Obviously I haven't missed anything important. I watch FOX.

[bmwcyle]

If you read the FR, you also are informed.

[Attillathehon]

Calling Bill O'Reilly . . . . . . .

[Clinging Bitterly]

bump to home

[Tennessean4Bush]

Eason Jordan, and people like him, are those who enable people like Saddam to remain in power. This guy feels bad, but he is a sick, sick, weak man.

[Mister Baredog]

BTW, as a freeper, I expect better spelling skills from you. This story IS out, and it's HUGH.

Come on, don't be so series.

[hripka]

Next time you see the CNN logo:

I feel very sick today. It is one thing for Goebbels to lie to the Germans, or Baghad Bob to lie to Iraqis/Arabs, but for CNN to lie to AMERICANS!!

CNN IS ROTTEN B***SH** !!!

[MamaLucci]

Be sure to read 744 though.

Thanks, I just did.
I'm so glad you pointed that out, I'd have missed it on this monster thread.

Newt just called this piece "The Lies We Told the World". Exactly right.

Our course, coming from the network that brought us:

1)The Baby Milk Factory
2)The United States Poisoned its Own Troops
3)The U.S. used a Madison Avenue PR Firm "Created" Iraqi Atrocities Again Kuwait to Justify War.

...non of this is the least bit surprising. And the viewing habits of the "Live by the lie, Die by the lie" left won't be changed one iota.

[Howlin]

Bump.

[CholeraJoe]

I wonder if Judy Woodruff knows all this.

She's on suicide watch and under heavy sedation.

[WarSlut]

"created" = "to create"

FR needs an edit function. Or maybe I need to proof read...

Eugene Volokh has picked up on both the op-ed and The Interview.
