Last week we noted CNN's latest excuse for not showing images of the Danish Mohammed cartoons:
"CNN is not showing the negative caricatures of the likeness of Prophet Mohammed because the network believes its role is to cover the events surrounding the publication of the cartoons while not unnecessarily adding fuel to the controversy itself."
Keep in mind, as Michelle Malkin noted, that one or two of the cartoons are not "negative" in any way -- they are simply tame cartoon portraits (see all the of cartoons here). CNN refused to show even these, despite their specific disclaimer about "negative caricatures."
Yesterday, this story ran on CNN with an image: More images of abuse at Abu Ghraib.
Apparently CNN's excuse for the Mohammed cartoons was not a matter of principle. If the new Abu Ghraib photos are newsworthy images relating to a controversial subject, then so are the Mohammed cartoons, if only the cartoons that do not editorialize about Mohammed. Obviously CNN has a double standard at work, one that clearly favors Islamic religious sensibilities, or perhaps fears them.
CNN (CrapNewsNetwork) the most "trusted" game network...
CNN:
Crap - bias, politically-correctness & other "impartiality".
News - what they want-create to be as "news".
Network - from the headlines room through the most simple presentations.
I am not saying that everybody in CNN is crap, but that crap that is "traditional" inheritance from infamous "legendary" Ted Turner (Anyone remember his reverence for the "heroic" 9/11 butcher: Muhammad Atta?), this virus still consumes much of the CNN in various departments.
"I am not saying that everybody in CNN is crap"
Then I will say it: EVERYONE AT CNN IS CRAP! CRAP! CRAP!
Anyone working for the bogus/biased CNN and takes their ill gotten gains in the form of a paycheck and therefor furthers the existence of CNN is a shameful CRAP.
CNN is tender....loving....concerned....
If Dick Cheney drew a cartoon of moo-ham-med you can bet your bottom dollar CNN would show it.
