"Why didn't he at least rein in his Judy Woodruff's etc.?"

Everytime something happens, I lose my faith again. Our media is completely hopeless.

[Howlin]

Am I wrong, or are they OUR airwaves that CNN uses?

Don't they owe us the truth?

I thought that's what journalism was, and now here we have yet more situtational ethics!

FoxNews "Eric Burns" has been talking about it all day. CNN won't like his stand on it either!!

Eric Burns will have a special on Saturday night at 6:30 pm (CT?)

I have a feeling he will be covering the "ethical" aspects of this. Again.. CNN won't like it if he does!

Quote "We all thought Al- Jeezera was criminal but their actions pale in comparison to those of CNN. If they had brought these stories to the forefront the tyranny of
Saddam would have ended long ago."

Excellent...this is SOOOO true. Al-Jeezera looks great compared with CNN!!!!

[Howlin]

He has a band job tonight, so I'll be here with you all, still carping about this!

But I am going out with my stepdaughters and their children for an early dinner!

Thanks.

I've decided that we are forever victims..victims of the press, victims of Bill of rights enemies in congress..thnking about patriot act II... We might as well face it. We the people have no more control. (/defeatist mode off)

Ted Fondas Communist Nooooze Network.........I'm not suprised by this BS from them at all. We "all" knew they were of such caliber years ago Travis. They were , are and will always be self agrandizing presstitutes of the nth degree.

Only one thing can make me watch their propaganda and that is if every other channel has that whorebait POS Whorealdo on the air. Just my personal opinion of course.......mine none the less.

Stay Safe Travis !!

[Stakka Skynet]

Why does none of this suprise me?

[KingKongCobra]

Mr Jordan is living with some serious guilt. He wrote this admission to ease his guilt. There's an interesting finish to it where he says now more stories can be told. See it? He's trying to get other writers to admit their guilt also. This way he can share his pain with others and ease his conscience. If others will admit that they did it too, he won't feel so bad.

May he never get a comfotable night's sleep for the rest of his miserable life.

[Timesink]

Run-DMC?

[Toskrin]

He doesn't come across like he is confessing. He is just telling the rest of the story. He slants the story so we should feel sorry for CNN having to work under these conditions, and that we should remain grateful that CNN stayed in Baghdad as long as it did.

Does he really feel guilty and humiliated? You bet he does. Why else would he rush this story out only 24 hours after the the Baghdad press was "freed"? There's a lot more that he wants to say. Nic Robertson is in on it too, I'm sure. Nic reports the news like he has a gun to his head...

Today is a good day to short AOL stock. Wow, what a bunch of screw ups.

"I am shocked...shocked to find gambling going on in this establishment!"

This is the first death knell of Liberal Journalism.

[goodnesswins]

Shorting AOL stock....LOL.....hey....it's a little late, I think....sorry....(I know from bad experience.)

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

"Media corruption runs wide and deep like an open sewer whose stench you cannot escape. It's time to clean it up. "

You are so right, PW! BRAVO for your efforts!

I am sure that somewhere in this great land, there are enterprising souls who can come up with an apt "clean it up" solution.

Let's get to work to figure it out.

(Howlin - I did not see the article, info you mentioned in your response to me a few hundred posts ealier....)
