Reprehensible. Access is more important than principle---or truth in reporting. But wait a minute----didn't CNN do the same thing during the Clinton Administration?
CNN knewThe Washington Times ^ | Monday April 14 2003 | EDITORIALWhere to begin? First, as the chief news executive of the only truly worldwide television news network, Jordan was literally the one man in the entire world in a position to "unbottle" those awful truths. Moreover, those awful truths were not only newsworthy, but would have been history-making -
had they been reported.
I think that most people are missing the real point of all of this. Sure Saddam was a sadistic madman, but at least he wasn't George Bush. It doesn't matter to these people that they were used. They were happy to be used. Their hatred of conservatives, George Bush, and America in general trumps all to this very day.
This CNN story should not be forgotten. We have to keep this alive in some way
This astonishing confession doesn't just undermine CNN's claim to be "the most trusted name in news" - it wreaks incalculable damage on all journalists' ability to be trusted by the American people.
The elistism of CNN is incredible. What else aren't they telling us?
I bet CNN has the same 'see-no-evil, hear-no-evil' "policy" with Castro's Cuba.

Yes, thats quite true. They did cover this bit up quite nicely.
Luckily, I had a blank tape in the vcr (adding to my collection of off the air recordings of Gulf One) and I tuned in just after they left the abandoned Republican gaurd base and headed into Tikrit. Sadler said several times that they were running the checkpoint. But they dared not repeat that bit on the re-play.

And it's about time CNN was held accountable for it's obvious bias and lies concerning the entire Arab world. The Palestinians come to mind.

When will this fraud be pulled from airports?

When will this fraud be pulled from airports? I plan to make a point of complaining to management at every business I observe who keeps this fraud on its TV set- and there are a lot of them, right here in my town.

boy, the leftist liberal major media is sure ducking this issue. It is getting almost no play...
Confessions of what we conservatives have known for years - that the major media constantly lies, coversup, and spins their stories, contrary to their basic charter.

And a mini-editorial:
When people are skeptical about "biased media," give them these links and ask bluntly
"What else have they chosen to simply not talk about? You cannot know about something you have not been informed about- you won't even know which questions to ask if you are uninformed."
