‘The Real Deal’- CNN’s too little, too late apology
MSNBC ^ | 4-11-03 | Joe Scarborough

Posted on 04/15/2003 8:38:46 PM PDT by JustPiper

“The New York Times” wrote that CNN’s top executive, Eason Jordan, admitted that for the past 12 years the news network concealed information about Saddam Hussein’s brutality and did it in order to keep their Baghdad bureau open. Jordan thinks he made the right call but here’s the real deal on CNN’s bargain.

NOW CNN ADMITS it had evidence of Saddam Hussein’s human rights atrocities and refused to reveal it to the viewers of the world. In many instances, the CNN big wigs actually knew Saddam Hussein was imprisoning and torturing some of their own employees but they refused to report the truth to the world because that may have got them kicked out of Baghdad.

How about Joe for President in 2008?

Personally I think his show should run four hours ;)

Get the Real Deal! Former Congressman Joe Scarborough (R-Fla.) hosts Scarborough Country. Live weeknights, at 10 p.m. ET

Just curious. What did MSNBC do to reveal Saddam's crimes? Why is the pot calling the kettle black? Granted that CNN was in Baghdad more than anybody else. Nevertheless, ALL the media covered for Saddam, with a very few honorable exceptions.

Just like ALL the media with a few honorable exceptions covered for clinton.

"What did MSNBC do to reveal Saddam's crimes? "

They probably did - only the half-dozen or so people who watch them were asleep at the time !

Is this why the Comb-over ambassador had a big kiss for the CNN reporter as he left his swank NY digs for Syria?

CNN – What did CNN know, and when did they know it?
CNN - We bury (articles). You dig.
CNN – Coverup News Network [duplicate]
CNN – All the news that’s fit to hide
CNN - RIP

This really isn't MSNBC, just a conservative talk show host who has an hour show on MSNBC.
