If CNN really had a bout of honesty it would read like this "Our silence on Iraq atrocities had nothing to do with maintaining access, we ally our reporting with all enemies of America. Always have, always will, nothing has changed. We consistently work against the U.S.A. no matter which country we are reporting from. So you see, our silence on evil is standard operating procedure and not because we needed to maintain access to saddam's murderous regime."
Clinton truth.
