Would of figured it out how to get them out? If you know anything about Iraq you would know that would be impossible.

" Does anyone have a sponsor list for CNN? I think a boycott and emailing campaign is in order. This is truly sickening, degrading, and embarassing; not only to the American people, but to human beings in general as well."
BINGO!
Was waiting to see a post like this. Anybody who believes in a totally free press does not understand Madison Ave.
To make the advertisers understand what free press is really about, vote with dollars. It is the only scorecard they understand.
Boycott any product sold on CNN. Email the CEO's of these corporations, and inform them of your intent. This is your most effective franchise, even moreso than your vote. Until the advertisers pull their accounts you don't buy.
Let's see what's on now, GMC Yukon, Coal powered Generating plants, ok this may be tougher than it sounds.

Human right organizations have more than adquate examples of what Saddam's regime did. There was no point in them pulling out and telling the world what was going on there.. it was just another drop in the bucket. I'm not defending everything CNN did... but to call them complicit or a propaganda machine for Saddam is lunancy.. they put their spin on it sure but there were also the only eyes in ears the western media had in iraq.. regardless of whether you like their style that was important for the world to have.

Oh...pullleeaasseee....so, they can say they saved one or two while hundreds of thousands died, on THEIR WATCH.....how sweet.

There is no excuse for a news organization to NOT report news. There is no value to having an office in Iraq if you don't use it to report news. CNN traded blood for money. You have no leg to stand on.
To: Almondjoy
The point is this:"journalists" are treated like saints when they go to jail to protect sources, when they break the law, when they spy on people etc. "Journalists" have no problem releasing the "Pentagon Papers" or anything detrimental to our national security. ALWAYS THEY CITE THE NEED TO TELL THE TRUTH.
HERE, THEY LIED! THEY COVERED UP! THEY BETRAYED EVERY ASPECT OF HONESTY, INTEGRITY, etc. (I'm not even talking about "patriotism") There is no gray area here!
To: Almondjoy
As I said, it isn't just the cover up of atrocities they were directly affected by, it was the demonizing and undermining of George W. Bush in particular that is objectionable.

Many thanks for citing the pertinent section of the article re King Hussein.

<< .... the [BBC] did not even broadcast the statue coming down in Baghdad on Wed? It instead chose to cover something like an earthquake in India .... >>
The BBC?
Home of obscene Goebbelsian propagandists.
Self-serving liars, cynics, frauds and pimps.
Totalitarianism's two-bit carny barkers.
And various other assorted otherwise-deservedly-unemployed Brussels-based Neo-Soviet's squalid-socialist-satellite-state-sponsered lunatic-left-wing-fringe-dwelling lickspittles

To: CatOwner
these stories were withheld because CNN feared Iraq would have them removed from the country. Period.
What side of the left/right debate cares more about money than people?
They are as vile as those they are in bed with.
To: diamond6
So don't question me on that. That is an insult. I did not question you. I stated a fact - you have an agenda. You are the one who positied a question and then claimed every answer given was failed to respond to your question. If you are trying to make a point, why don't you just state it clearly.
To: Pokey78
Mr. Jordan and anyone in the know are war criminals. Lives, misery, physical pain death could have been changed if this worm and his underlings had any spine. Somehow I suspect the Clintons are involved here. I am sure Palistine has the same arrangement with CNN and in light of past behavior that the Clinton's benefit. These people are sickening and should be made to stand the gaff.

To: Almondjoy
Reporting a lie as a fact when you know it is a lie is not putting a spin on things. It's dishonest. Spinning is reporting facts but trying to put a different light on thos facts.
Lying is lying nothing more - nothing less.

Who said CNN is better than CBC? As bad as the CBC can be, this is a terrible insult. CBC is often dryer than a camel fart, but they don't ram it down your throat, like CNN (The Ministry of Fear)
CNN's hour consists of 10 minutes of talking about their own people, 20 minutes to tell you what they will be covering. Commercials, oh yeah and some news.
Walter Rodgers had some brilliant moments. But Wolf is a drone. All of their readers talk like Kindergarten teachers.
Dear Cable Company, have you ever heard of Fox News?
Even so, they are all ambulance chasers, which is why I come to places like FR for my news. Freepers do a much more honest job of reporting than any "NEWS" network.

LOL....people ask me if I've been "watching TV." I have to think for a moment...because what I've been "watching" is FREE REPUBLIC - it's MY TV! (Most of the time, except when FOX has certain programs.)
