This Is CNN: Iraqi Celebration An "Orgy"
April 11, 2003
Let's remember, now, that everything we hear from CNN we have to place in the context of what we now know - that the CNN director of news knew about horrors that were going on in Iraq for 12 years. In light of that, I want you to listen to a sound bite from Christiane Amanpour, Wednesday on Larry King Live.
Amanpour complained that structures in Iraq have not remained in place, leading to looting and violence. What structures? The torture chambers and the rape rooms? Here is a CNN infobabe trapped by the revelations of her boss in the New York Times. Can she actually be pining for the "order" imposed by Saddam?
She derides the Iraqi celebration of freedom as an orgy! Liberals defend looting in this country, they call it justified under some socioeconomic injustices that are being righted, but somehow Iraqi looting is an orgy. She would much prefer the system of order, bad that it was, that existed under Saddam Hussein. In fact her quote was, "the strong arm of Saddam Hussein, who kept the place together, albeit under a terrible authoritarian dictatorship."
This is the Arab point of view and Christiane Amanpour is airing it. I don't know what she knew about what was going on in Iraq, but my guess is she knew much more than what her network was reporting. If I'm wrong, why wouldn't Eason Jordan take aside CNN's lead infobabe on the ground and tell her what's going on there?
Instead he leaves her out to dry, and here she is taking the Arab side of all of this on CNN, under the guise of objective news, defending the regime of Saddam Hussein

How many Iraqi Arabs inside or outside Iraq has she interviewed? How about Kuwaitis?

Its got to be humbling to have the mask of impartiality ripped from your face in front of 50 million viewers. Ms. Amanpour's reporting won't change but the perspective of any remaining viewers certainly will.
I don't think I'm overstating that this could be the deathknell of the liberal media.

Any post containing both the word, "orgy," and a pic of Amanpour merits a heaving, chunky, bile tasting barf alert!!!

I
think I read somewhere that the thumbs-up sign in Iraq is the equivalent of our middle finger. If true, then one of those pictures might not be as it seems. The others are great. ;-)

Indeed, we are seeing the end of BS liberal media, starting, of course, with the discrediting of Al Jazeera.

Amanpour was dubbed "the war slut" in Gulf War I and it is just as apropos today.

I guess a war slut knows an orgy when she sees it.
To: Use It Or Lose It
Was the term "slut" used in its usual slang meaning?

Remember the idiots who just couldn't admit the evil of Mussolini's fascism, but just had to reminding us 'that at least the trains used to run on time.' Why doesn't Christina just tell the audience that Hitler wasn't that bad because the SS kept the peace, and 'after all, Hitler built the autobahn."

This caption is misleading: she is actually saying, "My boobs used to be this big!"

"Amanpour was dubbed "the war slut" in Gulf War I and it is just as apropos today." This time around, she's back lot, used goods in the CNN brothel.

I think you are right. Did you see Rather tonight? His closing bit from Iraq was almost identical to what Amanpour said.
It's pathetic.
To: TopQuark
truth is liberal media used to be big and now its about to fall BIG

Freedom of speech isn't working out so well for liberals now that they aren't the only ones with a microphone. It's not so much fun when the rabbit's got the gun.
AS ANN COULTER SAID

April 9, 2003
LIBERALS ARE NO longer a threat to the nation. The new media have defeated them with free speech the very freedom these fifth columnists hide behind whenever their speech gets them in hot water with the American people. Today, the truth is instantly available on the Internet, talk radio and Fox News Channel. No wonder liberals accuse Matt Drudge of absurd sodomic acts, call Rush Limbaugh a "big fat idiot," and say "really stupid people" watch Fox News Channel as anti-war actress Janeane Garofalo said between assuring us that Saddam Hussein has no weapons of mass destruction
