Do you think the result you are seeking could have been accomplished simply by aggressively reporting all of the atrocities that happened to Iraqis that had immigrated to this country and have them tell us what Saddam did, or did Jordan have to tell us his story, which could have got Iraqis killed

CNN wouldn't report information it had first hand knowledge of; why would it bother to report second hand stoies from Iraqi immigrants?

Do you or anybody have an answer to this question? Your answer is non-responsive.

Your "question" is based on a false premise about what you assume we are all seeking. The trouble with CNN is that CNN permited itself to be used by the Saddam machine to spread Saddam's propaganda while it knew it to be false. It further went on to report negatively regarding U.S. assertions when it knew the truth was otherwise.

The comparison you are trying to make would be appropriate if CNN reported nothing. Most of the major media outlets reported little about info eceived from Iraqi immigrants. Your attempt to somehow equate CNN's dishonesty with the other media's failure to report facts you consider important only demonstrates your attempt to cloud the issue with moral equivalence.
