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.

So... why did this scandal die? Where was the "internal investigation" like CBS is supposedly doing? Why didn't heads roll?

This outrages me..He is backtracking like mad, but where he did it and in front of an international audience is despicable. He knows media outreach, he knows the biases ..I am so angry.

While they have been jabbering about whatever cause celeb crawls across the news ticker, we've been building a Virtual Network behind their backs...
