‘We thought we were safe... then CNN stepped in!’

A SOUTH Wales couple caught in the Mumbai terror attacks claimed last night that CNN put their lives at risk by broadcasting where they were.

Lynne and Kenneth Shaw, of Penarth, warned that terrorists were listening in to the media to pinpoint Western victims.

Mrs Shaw claimed the American cable TV channel had broadcast details of where they were at the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel.

She has appealed to the media to be careful with the information it broadcasts because safety could be compromised and lives lost.

The couple flew back into Heathrow yesterday morning on a flight arranged by the British Consulate.

Mrs Shaw had been forced to hide under a table as terrorists stormed the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel.

She and her husband were later rescued by Gurkhas and taken straight to the Australian Embassy for safety.

The couple were at the end of a month-long visit to India and were staying in Mumbai for a few days before heading back to the UK.

From her home in Penarth yesterday, Mrs Shaw said: “We have been asked by the British terror police not to talk to the press.

“But the reason I would not want to talk to anyone is because our safety was actually compromised by CNN, which broadcast where we were.

“The terrorists were watching CNN and they came down from where they were in a lift after hearing about us on television. For that reason I would appeal to the media to be very careful about what they broadcast.

>>>The industry's time is expiring, and that is what the threads are all about. <<<

Their time as profit making entities may be expiring, but as long as they continue their willingness to spout leftist bias, the left will keep them alive and kicking.

They demonstrated their effectiveness Nov 4th.

Some people at CNNLIES should be FIRED over this!!

Oh please, CNN is counting the money the terrorists paid them to broadcast the information.

There is nothing pro-Western about CNN. CNN International especially.

They proudly serve their new anti-Western overlords.

[weegee]

So see, there IS some news that CNN will not report for fear of upsetting their host nation.

Kick the traitors out. They serve enemy governments. I am serious.

There is no protected speech in treason.

[weegee]

To be fair, their full name is Time-Lies-Warner-Turner-CNN.

Boycott the lot of them.

Shades of the William Atherton character in Die Hard.

“Some people at CNNLIES should be FRIED over this!” There, that’s better...

You got that RIGHT !

Yet another case of terrorist stringers providing intel to terror cells.

Obama surely smells the overpowering stench emanating from dinomedia's rotting corpse. That's why he uses YouTube for his weekly fireside chats instead of dinomedia.

Didn’t Geraldo Rivera or some other journalist give away American troop movements during the initial stages of the Iraq war?

I saw the newscast you're referring to. It was not anything blatant, but could have been suggestive to someone very well informed. He got his chops busted bad for it.

Turned off the comp a little early last night and was reading a book. Glad you thought about me, though.

I’ll have a thread ready to go later this am. Would you care to be added to the ping list?

It is amazing that CNN and other news people border on being traitors, to the humans of the world.

As I remember, didn’t Geraldo draw a diagram in the sand of the US position and its intended movement?

Yep, that was it. Gotta love whorealdo, if he's not busy hanging onto trees in a hurricane, he's faking being shot at and giving the enemy tips on where to attack.
