The News We (CNN) Kept To Ourselves [must read]

The New York Times ^ | 04/11/03 | EASON JORDAN

Rumor that Hussein may be dead is being billed as BREAKIN NEWS. Duh.

[goldstategop]

Every journalist in Baghdad right up to the end, was accompanied by one of Baghdad Bob's government minders AKA censors. And this inconvenient little detail was left out of their nightly broadcasts for decades from Iraq. And this from the same news organizations that make a stink about cover-ups at home. Its really astounding folks and when it comes to befriending AND defending a dictatorship, liberals have a lot of explaining to do.

Most of the time Mr. Jordan was covering up for Hussein, wasn't some big buddy of Clinton's a BIG cheese at CNN-not sure of name-Peter Kaplan, maybe? Whoever it was, he now works at ABC.

Wonder if someone was about to expose Jordan, and he was trying to beat them to the punch? Not that it helped...

CNN is also a mouthpiece for the Castro regime in Cuba. These people have no sense of shame or remorse for their spreading lies around the planet 24 hours a day.

[Carolinamom]

Arnett referred to his minder offhandedly as "my friend." Probably true in his case.

[uncbob]

And CNN like the rest of the major media knew all about Clinton's ( Bil and Hill) lies treason corruption and rape and are STILL sitting on it

[texasbluebell]

...and they still retain the abominable Christiane Amanpour, who probably knows ever MORE horror stories, and still she clearly views the U.S. as the bad guy.

Her allegiance is certainly not to this country. She's half-Lebanese (isn't she?) and half-British. But I think her heart belongs to the Lebanese half, if I had to guess...

I never had great expectations for CNN. Now if you conservatives would abandon it in droves, nothing would give me greater pleasure than to see it R.I.P.

[PhiKapMom]

Charles Krauthammer -- conservative editorial writer and very good!

[goldstategop]

Moral equivalence is the mindset liberals operate under. The presumption there's no difference between a tyranny and a democracy. That's how they can be opposed to war and be glum about scenes of liberation in Baghdad. It explains it all.

[lawdude]

Can anyone not now believe that these "reporters" do know of and about Iraq's WMD? Did they know of 9-11? What did they know and when did they know it?

How many Americans have died from their cowardice?

CNN should be shut down NOW!

PRESSTITUTES

[whadizit]

Wow! The reaction to this reflects the total disregard most have of CNN. Their international channel is even worse!

[texasbluebell]

Rumor that Hussein may be dead is being billed as BREAKIN NEWS.

I wish so much that he had lived long enough to see people rooting through his palaces, to see the Brits drive a tank through the door of one of them, to see our guys enjoying a smoke in one of his bedrooms.

Oh, how I wish.

Guess I'll have to be content thinking about his fate after his death...

[texasbluebell]

Rick Kaplan. Yes, someone last night was talking about him, and Rush was today also. Yes, maybe someday soon some of that will come out.

[Anomaly in Illinois]

Wankers!

[Carolinamom]

My first impression on seeing Hussein's bathroom was....sheesh, mine is prettier. Then I saw those tacky faux chairs and bed. Besides being a mass murderer and rich as Croesus, he had NO TASTE. (Same for Hillary.)

[Saundra Duffy]

BUMP to expose CNN for sleeping with the enemy. THEY MAKE ME SICK!!!!!!!!

[nicmarlo]

EVIL WANKING PRESSTITUTES

[goldstategop]

Think about the irony of CNN's slogan: The most trusted news organization on the planet. <snicker
