I have no illusions that CNN has changed one bit.

I even wondered to myself whether they have read any of his reports.

Not only is Ware obnoxious, he’s so anti-war and anti-American he has no credibility. Punk.

Michael Ware, is that the crazy looking guy with the wild eye stare, like he’s telling you a really scary ghost story and trying hard to creep you out with his crazy stare...? He also has an Australian accent? Man that guy is a whack job!

As far as CNN goes, I only get CNN International and that station is pure lunacy. Add that Ware creep to Johnathan Mann bug eyes, and that sickly pasty white homosexual next to the ugly transsexual in the morning. And that butt ugly weirdo with the bags under his eyes who came from BBC World, as well as many of the other homosexuals and creeps and you really have to wonder why they even bother to try to report the news. I mean Hello!? They look and sound totally INSANE!! LoL!

I notice most of their commercials are Muslim airlines and business centers. Welcome to Londanstan, where CNNI is based.

I hope so, because winning is so important. It’s a shame that winning in Iraq wouldn’t make both parties happy.

Exactly! Michael Yon is fantastic:)

Not only that, CNN was on in the chow hall this evening and they showed an exceptionally unflattering photo of Nancy Pelosi while doing a story on her whining about how she wants to help screw things up in Turkey and Iraq. Someone said "What the hell's going on with CNN?"

Michael Ware is a lying, twisting, distorting black cloud peeing all over anything good that happens in Iraq, by the way. I have become infuriated on several occasions watching him twist and spin.

This isn’t the first time Michael Yon has been on CNN. A good interview with Michael Yon does not negate what CNN is, IMHO.

Ware came across much better than I expected in SSG David Bellavia’s memoir about Fallujah titled House to House. I highly recommend the book.

Thanks.

CNN wants to make money. They are aware of the increasing distrust amoung their viewing audience, that they do not present balanced news. They probably know just when to switch gears to loss anymore viewing audience. And surely the improvements now being available world wide on Iraq force them to re-establish their mode of operation. The Internet is a thorn in their side.

Here is the e-mail I got back from Michael Yon’s people.......it includes link to his appearance..............

Michael’s segment on “This Week at War” is up on his You Tube page.

There is a viewer as well as a direct link to the You Tube page on Michael’s site
http://www.michaelyon-online.com/wp/michael-on-this-week-at-war.htm

Michael was asked to be on the program by the producer when it was learned that he had challenged a widely distributed report alleging “chaos” in Basra. He was in Basra at the time the reports were first made and he offered a dramatically different assessment.

Nic Robertson, a CNN reporter, was in the area at the same time and was also reporting that things in the province were improving dramatically.

He was not paid for his appearance. He never is — and he will appear on any program, television or radio, and respond to any interview request, logistics permitting, because he believes strongly that the lack of accurate reporting of actual ground conditions is a serious problem in this war.
