What's your Martindale Hubbell rating? If you have one? (Doubtful, since you didn't even know it existed)
Also, the lack of a rating means nothing. Read this from M-H: "In the United States, 43% of the active bar is rated. Omission of individual lawyer ratings should not be construed as unfavorable since Martindale-Hubbell does not undertake to develop ratings for every lawyer. In addition, certain lawyers have requested their ratings not be published. In other instances, definitive information required to establish a rating has yet to be developed."
Neither I nor any of my associates have ever based our opinion of an attorney on a M-H rating. Obviously, this kind of thing is highly subjective.
He almost does.
"Eason Jordan is the chief news executive and newsgathering president for the CNN News Group. In this capacity, he oversees CNN's worldwide news coverage, the network's editorial policy and direction, CNN's Satellites and Circuits department and CNN Newsource's affiliate news-feed service, which is distributed to approximately 900 broadcasters worldwide. He also contributes to CNN's strategic planning as a member of the CNN Executive Committee. Jordan is based in CNN's world headquarters in Atlanta..." more Eason bio

He wasn't CNN's executive vice president of newsgathering and international networks until 1995-1997, and ONLY from 1997-2000, Jordan served as CNN's president of newsgathering and international networks. In my initial post I said I couldn't fault him because I understood that, had he revealed the information he had regarding the tortured individuals their families would've risked tremendous consequences including CNN reporters stationed in Iraq. So I understood Jordan's decision. However, I made very clear my position regarding CNN for still showing us biased reports from biased reporters who clearly have a leftist agenda.
My anger is not so much at Jordan but at CNN, unless he decided to keep quiet in order to advance his career at CNN.
Really ?
Now might be a good time to read the posted article again . Nail the facts down the best you can .
And it's not just CNN. From the article:
Obviously, other news organizations were in the same bind we were when it came to reporting on their own workers.
I've no doubt of that. He's proven by his ramblings on this thread that he is very good at dissembling, defying logic and common sense, and twisting things to make the guilty seem innocent. All necessary qualities for a defense attorney.
What a snide, arrogant and condescending individual you are. Are you Chirac? Up to now, the only person I've seen who is so arrogant and so convinced of his own superiority that he completely fails to realize how much of a clown he appears to everyone else is Chirac. You are certainly in the running to match his arrogance and his self-absorbed foolishness. I doubt very much that you are the conservative you pass yourself off as being, because your attitude in enlightening us peons with your babbling is very much like that of an elitist liberal.
Your sole mission on this thread seems to be to obfuscate the issue of CNN's complicity with Saddam and to distract from the very obvious conclusions that anyone with half a brain can draw from the article. Your antics might be enough to fool the typical O.J. jury, but it won't work with intelligent FReepers. Everyone on this thread sees you for the clown that you are, yet you continue talking to yourself. You have yet to show a fraction of the common sense, intellect, and wisdom that I and others here have displayed. It must be very lonely in your mutual admiration society of one.
BTW, my IQ is 160. What's yours?
