CNN is too busy kissing up to Ahmadinejads butt.

Ignorant people....they don’t realize the only reason CNN was in Iran was due to concession made to the mullahs......a repeat of what happened in Iraq under Sadaam.

CNN is not allowed to show too much of the protests or they may lose their ability to broadcast from Tehran.

People still do not know who are the collaborators amongst them.

And yet Amy Kellogg on FOX was able to find out and report yesterday about the election manipulation, the fraud and the demonstrations from her contacts inside Iran.

FOX ran the story all day with live reports.

The MSM is in a holding pattern on this story because they’re waiting to see how Obama wants them to cover it.

There’s been no shortage of information, including live and ongoing realtime Twitter posts from Iran (until the mullahs cracked down on the telephones, the Internet, and thus Twitter).

When anything like this occurs around the globe, Twitter has emerged as the best source of info.

You can bet if Obamas guy won, CNN would be all over it.

The way things turned out are bad for the Muzzie in Chief,so the US state controlled media ignores the story.

Yep, the MSM is concerned that Zer0 wants “good relations” with Tehran and so they’re awaiting further reporting guidance.

Disgusting.

And might I also add, despicable.

Obama would have been happier if the Iranian people would just shut up and go home. As far as he’s concerned all this does is take coverage away from him.

“FOX ran the story....”

The difference between the Cartoon News Network and a real news network.

The story doesn’t make Obama look good, so the story is spiked, especially after Obama took credit for “fair” elections in Iran.

Fox is . . .

better than nothing.

. . . better than 100% lies.

It’s not a truly free and candid source, imho.

It’s still under the umbrella of the very controlled MSM to some degree.

So the tingle up OThuga’s leg has turned into a . . . down?

Color me underwhelmed.

CNN was waiting for their talking points on Iran from the Obama administration. After all, they cannot make “The One” look bad by not repeating the party line ....

lol that second result is priceless.

this is rich:
“the network that managed to have the only reporters on the ground when the United States began bombing Baghdad in 1991 at the beginning of the Gulf War”

yeah, and we all know whose side they were on then, too.
