Thank God for men and women of principle like Bush, Blair, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rice, et al., who are not afraid to *lead* whether or not their decisions are "popular."

[KSCITYBOY]

I am way late to this party, but here goes. Once again the liberal news reports what they want. Suppose if CNN had seen the Nazi death camps they would have told the world about it or maybe withhold the info so they could have stayed in Berlin. CNN had time to get their people out and report this - They just wanted a seat for another war and great ratings like they got from the first gulf war.

I wasn't jumping on YOU....but I also forgot which "Tail..." we were talking about.... :)

[GOPrincess]

You're sure right about CNN covering for Clinton.

I think as time goes on we're going to realize more than we ever knew (and we knew a lot) just how incestuous the CNN-Clinton relationship was.

[Howlin]

The really insulting this is what MamaLucci said: CNN wouldn't put up with this crap in this country for ONE SECOND!

Piling on is allowed among friends....

[GOPrincess]

As a caller said to Rush, CNN doesn't hesitate to investigate and expose our country's "secrets," yet doesn't hesitate to keep the (incredibly horrible) secrets of another country.

CNN = Collaborators News Network

CNN - WE REPORT WHEN WE DECIDE

(Please don't let the bad man hurt me...)

[goodnesswins]

Hey....that's GOOD....."CNN - WE report WHEN we decide."

[Travis McGee]

They have NO shame!

I wonder if the reason this is coming out now is because CNN was recently thrown out of Iraq for suspicion of spying and CIA connections. Could this be their way of reassuring tyrants elsewhere that they can be trusted?

Good thinking. North Koreans, Chinese, Syrians, etc will pick up that (embedded) message and continue to roll out the red carpet for the CNN traitors.

This also at least partially explains why CNN announcers today are unrepentant and continue on their nasty way trying to discredit Bush. I don't get CNN, but other posters here have mentioned this.

[Fred Mertz]

Great job on those new CNN mottoes! However, payed=paid.

What is the most amazing about this is I think that Mr Eason Jordan who wrote this was (when he wrote this) completely oblivious to the journalistic ethics and enormous implications of what he did and what he described in this article.

I think that he wrote this expecting that it would put both him and CNN in an heroic light----rather than exposing themselves as craven lying cowards.

Does anyone think he thought he was "confessing" something he did wrong?

[Fearless Flyers]

Below is an e-mail address to the U.S. Department of Justice.

Mr. Ashcroft should investigate this and possibly freeze the acounts and operations of CNN.

This is duplicity in genocide on the part of CNN Time Warner and AOL, it is the most horrific war crime since the second world war.

We all thought Al- Jeezera was criminal but their actions pale in comparison to those of CNN. If they had brought these stories to the forefront the tyranny of Saddam would have ended long ago.

It is time to freep the DOJ to bring action against CNN for the people of Iraq.

"We don't hold people responsible for the murder of another unless the person was actively participating, aiding, hiring, or conspiring with another to do so, except in very limited circumstances. One situation which would require legal intervevtion would be a psychiatrist who's patient said he was going to kill an identifiable person. In that case, he would have to take steps to prevent it."

I don't know..if a hospital worker KNOWS about malpractice, and fails to report it, and the patient dies, they are for sure held accountable..NOT criminally though. Civilly. I agree that it was out of the jurisdiction of our GOVT, BUT, a civil suit could possible be won against cnn..

Ok.. That was excellent Lunk. I'm gonna keep posting it on my tag line!! With Lunks name afterwards of course :o)

Ding ding ding!

Look at the story on CNN.COM today. They are acting like they did something GOOD. But, of course, the nasty parts about them COLABERATING with the Iraqis is NOT printed in CNN's version.

[Freedom2specul8]

"The press was told if they filmed it they would die. Those short clips that we did manage to get out almost cost the camaraman's life. From what I have been told, he still cannot work in the west bank."

NO, I was unaware of that!Would it be terrible wrong to say that it's unamerican for the press to LIE to us? or mislead us?? Why NO! But we are powerless against this..

[MamaLucci]

Happy Birthday, Howlin!
After lunch with my hubby, and a couple of bloody mary's....
CNN STILL sucks.
