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

Resist liberal lies.

Prosecute leftist treason.

[cyncooper]

Rush interrupts the reading to ask listeners if they EVER got the impression from watching CNN that Hussein was the madman who needed to be removed. Or was it Bush who was portrayed as the madman.

Unbelievable, says Rush, and points out just who is writing this piece.

Back to the article he goes...

Rush read then interrupts again to ask if the anchors couldn't have been informed so their attitude could properly reflect the proper demeanor. Rush says the more you read of this the more unbelievable it gets, especially since George Bush became president and the way CNN portrayed him, vs. the way Hussein was portrayed.

Back to reading...

"PT Barnum was right."

CommonTator used to say he disagreed with Barnum--he thought there had to be more than just one born every minute. I agree with CT.

[Matchett-PI]

Rush is talking about this story right now. He led off his program with it.

[kcvl]

EVER got the impression from watching CNN that Hussein was the madman who needed to be removed?

[Agamemnon]

Rush opened with this article on his show just now!

[Yankee]

Tator is, of course, correct.

One needs to take into consideration, the amount of "imbecile inflation" that has occurred since Barnum's time.

[Cold Heat]

Amen Brother!

Thanks Dave!

It seems that some do not see the depth and far reaching concequences of this news.

Most of us do however.

[abenaki]

very good points,Quark. Mr Lincoln said much the same thing: "Honesty (truth) is the best policy". This crowd at CNN have no respect for the heroes who have died to preserve our freedoms,especially Freedom of the Press.

[<1/1,000,000th%]

But these "alleged atrocities" are no justification for attempting to defend ourselves. /sarcasm

[Grampa Dave]

This story documents a lot of what many of us have felt about CNN.

Then, your personal reply was so eloquent and expresses what so many of us feel personally about the POS who control and work for CNN.

well, Rush just finished reading the article, and went to commercial. based on some of the comments posted here, I think my internet feed is delayed a couple of miniutes, so sorry for any duplication that might come up.

Rush is HOT on this issue, is outraged, and says everyone who reads this should also be outraged.

[GOPrincess]

I am astonished CNN put this out -- did they think we would feel sorry for them? They knowingly stayed there, complicit in all this. I had my doubts about those reporteres who chose to stay in Baghdad during the war, with their "minders," but figured there was at least some value that they were there when Baghdad fell and the minders disappeared. This is so, so much worse -- words fail. And CNN has basically had an anti-war tone all this time? Why, so they could stay there not covering what was happening even longer, and be complicit in the knowledge of planned murder and torture even longer?

Something needs to happen to CNN for this. What, I don't know.

[Rocko]

Go, Fox News!

[Countyline]

"Always remember, CNN, the NYT and their ilk are communists, plain and simple so be wary of anything they do or say."

Wise words indeed ...

[The Hon. Galahad Threepwood]

If anyone gets through to Rush on the phones, be sure to mention The Interview which Toskrin linked to last night. As bad as the basic story is, Jordan's lying is even worse, and even more important.

[KneelBeforeZod]

awful things that could not be reported because doing so would have jeopardized the lives of Iraqis, particularly those on our Baghdad staff.

BLESS THIS MAN!!! He saved dozens of reporters at the cost of only millions of others! My Hero!

[BreitbartSentMe]

Even if he needed to protect his people in Iraq, that doesn't explain how CNN covered all of this. Pres Bush and his admin over the last year talking about WMD and atrocites, Mr. Jordan could have taken his lead anchors, woodruff, et al, tell them what he knew. Newsworthy content he withheld. He ought to feel terrible, all members of media & congress who knew but didn't say

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

Andy Jackson has done a good job of putting words to my rage. kcvl - done a good job of keeping the appropriate email address before us. (Thanks). Others are doing a good job of voicing what I am thinking.

But we still have not done this topic with all the thought and ACTION PLANS that it deserves.

[kcvl]

They knew of the atrocities, they knew of the rapes and they kept quite.
