The News We (CNN) Kept To Ourselves [must read]

The New York Times ^ | 04/11/03 | EASON JORDAN

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

Absolutely right.

America had a woman battered and bruised in what looked like a brutal torture beating, possibly in order to find out what she knew or to whom she had talked - OR to make her an example to other possibly "squealers" inside any of the Clinton Criminal operations rooms. She was in the Clinton Commerce Dept but was an obvious patriot holdover from the Reagan administration's days who had obviously become fed up with the Clinton crimes against America.

Yet neither CNN, nor ABC, nor CBS, nor NBC, nor the NY Times showed ONE IOTA OF INTEREST in finding out what really happened to this woman. NOT ONE!

Her name is Barbara Alice Wise, Victim of America's Saddamite Regime of 1992-2000!

Mr. Jordan can make amends for his blatant criminal collaboration with the Saddam regime by ordering his news teams to do a full, in dept investigation of the brutal Clinton thug regime - starting with an investigation into the death of one: Barbara Alice Wise.

Ms. Wise - some of us - will NEVER forget you!

CNN can START here and then progress to "investigate" these Clinton related (caused) deaths over here and then, before their time is up, they can move over to reveal what they really know at CNN about:

What did they know about what happened at WACO under the Clinton terrorist regime? The Oklahoma City Bombing

and what really happened that has been covered up at

Columbine High School!

Just for starters.

It will be a cold day in the place CNN draws its life from before these Clinton Criminal Butcher Regime "revelations" see the light of day at Collaborators News Network!

[Lucas1]

And the bigger question...what did CNN know/or know about Bill Clinton but CHOSE not to report?

[The South Texan]

If this does not drive a hard nail into CNN's coffin, I can't think of anything else that would.

Sick, Commie Bastards!

[MamaLucci]

He wrote this admission to ease his guilt.

I'm not so sure about that.
Fox News is eatin' CNN's lunch on a daily basis...
This admission on the front page of the NY Times is NOT going to help
CNN's ratings....it will, in fact, hurt them.
CNN would not allow one man to assuage his guilt wracked conscience
at their expense.
Something, or someone, was going to expose their charade, IMHO.
This admission by Jordan literally REEKS of clintonian preemption.

[3D-JOY]

#1000 deserved more than a bump!

I am still so angry at this CNN garbage that I can't even think about eating lunch.

Now, THAT means I am really upset!

I am thinking about removing the channel number from my remote so no one who visits can even get it! Maybe I can tell them it "blew up"! LOL

[Timesink]

I'm deeply saddened...

[Timesink]

This admission by Jordan literally REEKS of clintonian preemption.

The great thing is, thanks to things like talk radio, the Internet, etc, Clintonian preemption no longer works! This has been the top story on Drudge all day, and probably will be for the rest of the night unless we find Saddam's body before then. It's pretty much the only thing Limbaugh talked about for all three hours today. This story is out, and it's huge.

[3D-JOY]

I am waiting for that very thing to happen.

I believe you are right!

[Howlin]

And it's on a Friday, during a busy news cycle.

Works for me.

Glad to know Rush is hitting it with everything - and Sean will be hitting it also. We can expect to see the Clinton News Network defenders marshalled and trotted out to defend Eason Jordan. We can expect to perhaps see something big happen to deflect attention to this story. (used to be a Clinton administration prime trick as in wag the war in Kosovo).

BUT WE WILL NOT BE DETERRED! THIS STORY HAS LEGS, CNN, AND THE OUTRAGE IT HAS PRODUCED WILL NOT BE STOPPED!

[Desecrated]

Saddam was the hitman and CNN drove the get-away car. They are at least complicit.

[Howlin]

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

Yes, at least.

[MamaLucci]

This story is out, and it's huge.

I heard Rush going after it pretty hard, bless him.
BTW, as a freeper, I expect better spelling skills from you.
This story IS out, and it's HUGH.
;)

[goodnesswins]

I'm not sure they will be DEFENDING Eason at CNN....I bet he's "on leave" or something pretty soon......going to the NY Times to break a CNN story is soooo odd....like others said....I think someone was going to let the cat out of the bag and he wanted to be ahead of the curve.

[Timesink]

It's SERIES!

Eason Jordan: "Saddam held our "news" organization hostage for 12 years. We knew about murders before they we commited, but kept it quiet. We knew about rape and torture and intimidation, but didn't report on it. How we have the nerve to call ourselves "journalists" is anybody's guess. You can't trust our international coverage, because we're in bed with the dictators, and they've got this gun to our head: we value access above truth, and if the dictator threatens to pull our access, we'll sacrifice the truth in a heartbeat. We should be ashamed of ourselves, but we're hoping for pity instead. How about it America: are you sorry for us?"

[lonevoice]

I share your interpretation and your sentiments. This article is no sort of confession or guilt cleansing. It reads more like an attempt to make the author a sympathetic figure in the horrors visited upon the Iraqi people by this brutal regime. It left no doubt in mind that Eason Jordan not only feels NO guilt but, in fact, considers his actions heroic. I am disgusted and repulsed beyond words.

While I do not doubt that the author has suffered by knowing these horrors and feeling the need to not report them, there is an extremely self-serving, a nauseatingly almost self-congratulatory, odor to this piece. Even the headline stinks.

[Howlin]

I'll be tuning in at 4 PM to see what Judy has to say.

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

CNN has already been defending itself. (I have been told). But you are right - they got this out pronto because of fear of worse information coming out. Wonder if the records they will turn up will show FULL BLOWN PAYROLL SUPPORT for Peter Arnett and others in the past by Saddam's paymaster???
