And Cuba. What about CNN in Cuba?

What did CNN know, and when did they know it?

Thanks for the post and the ping ! This story has had a LOT of coverage and commentary, and RIGHTfully so, imho!

Here is another article I'd like to link you to, and an excerpt:

The News we Kept to Ourselves

Excerpt:

Fellow Freepers, I suggest Jim Robinson add a new "Topic" category to this website: "undercovered scandal" or "crimes unpunished". This CNN story should not be forgotten. We have to keep this alive in some way. A special congressional hearing should be requested and the highest ranking members of CNN should have to answer questions. If ENRON was a scandal, what is this? CNN has real blood on their hands. There is no other way to put it. Mr. Jordan only went with the story because he knew it would come out very soon. He is trying to get pity, he should be grilled. There is an obvious lack of proportion and fairness in coverage, the media was far tougher on John Rocker and Trent Lott. CNN's license should be revoked. This has been going on for far too long. Clinton's sexual assaults allegations were thinly covered and only one was coverd after the impeachment vote. Remember, NBC waited until after the vote to run the Brodderick interview. Citizens have to be tough on CNN and other media outlets that put politics before the truth.

On Fox News Sunday's panel discussion, they let Juan Williams of PBS start out commenting on this story. He ripped CNN such a large new orifice that Bret Hume had little to add. Good to see that some liberals get this story.

I agree this is a HUGE story. I have no idea what Jordan thought he would achieve with his op-ed other than a CYA. However, it isn't working. What CNN did was morally and professionally wrong. It just galls me how CNN and the like trumpet the freedom of the press in the USA but then can totally compromise that belief and set up shop and even do the bidding of a STATE OWNED press! The hypocrisy is mind boggling.

The deaths of those two men are clearly the result of CNN's covering up of the truth about Sadaam and his regime. I'm sure there are many more.

CNN - PFFFFTTTTTT!

I have spent all of my adult life "on the road" as it were, having accumulated enough flying hours in more than 40 years as a Professional Aviator [Pilot - Chief Pilot - Operations Director - Fleet owner - "Aviation Advisor" to various governments - Air Transportation Ops Consultant - etceteras] to have effectively circumnavigated the Earth more than 650 times. I've held Professional Licences in 29 countries, have lived and worked on every continent and in more than twenty countries and have at various times regularly visited more than 100 countries. More than nine thousand miles from home as I pick on my keyboard, I am still "on the road," right now."

And can attest to the fact that Eason's "revelation" does not expose even the whole tip of the obscenity that is the international "news" business [CNN and the BBC are especially rotten] -- every component part of which works in two directions so that while every one of them, in its home market, is obscenely promulgating the propaganda spewed by every one of its client states -- it is every-bit-as-obscenely maintaining an obsessively anti-American stance and is misrepresenting and misreporting American "news" abroad. CNN and the BBC and AP and Reuters among others are virilently anti-American to the extent, in CNN's case especially, of being subversive.

But then -- and again from years of first-hand experience, including that gained inside our embassies during periods as a foreign-based and widely traveling Aviation Advisor -- so is "our" state department's hatred-and-rage-driven foreign "service."

Best ones -- Brian
