In addition, while CNN International is available on only some U.S. cable systems, it is a substantial force in the rest of the world -- not only the international channel but also the various in-country channels that CNN owns. According to 2000 data supplied by the National Cable Television Assn., CNN was available to 1 billion people in 212 nations worldwide, serviced through 37 bureaus.
CNN International president Chris Cramer says it's important for CNN to own all of those outlets, not only because they make the brand ubiquitous but also because they allow correspondents to be stationed in the nations they cover instead of "parachuting in" when big news breaks.
Sometimes he goes off his meds too.
good grief! this Castro worship thing is getting to me...Oliver Stone, Robert Redford, little boy Leo de Caprio, and now Ted.
PING
Castro, Kim Il-Jung, Pol Pott, Bashir Assad, Baby doc, Saddam Hussein...all fans of and inspiration to CNN International.
You'll enjoy this thread.
Geeee... should I watch CNN's anniversary, or Bravo's latest "Sports Kids Moms and Dads"..... hmmmmmmm....
For those who wonder why Communism has never produced a master propogandist like Joseph Goebbels, the answer is they don't have to. Lamestream media like CNN are doing their job for them.
At first I was offended that this clown wanted credit for helping to end the Cold War......then it dawned on me.....
He is a Communist and a Moron. He should get at least some credit for losing (i.e. ending) the Cold War.....
People of little or no moral courage are often spellbound by the charms of an extremely charismatic person. In the 20's and early 30's, they would probably have felt the same about Stalin and Hitler.
I bet she is either in prison or she is dead.
Yes, indeed, I enjoyed it. Now I understand why we don't rescue folks who've attempted to "escape" to Cuba, and that's because they all are either flying on their private jets or sailing on their yachts over there.
Yeah, that was it, not the Pope John Paul II, not Reagan, not Thatcher, not Walesa, not Trident, Peacekeeper or Pershing II missiles, not the expansion and modernization of the conventional US Navy. Nope, those things were waaaay overrated.
A now forgotten and then unwatched Olympic-wannabe sports event broke the back of European Marxism-Leninism.
Thanks for the post:
Especially this excerpt..useful idiots that they are.
"My job was to bug their rooms," revealed Cuban intelligence defector Delfin Fernandez while on a Madrid TV show recently, "with both cameras and listening devices. Most people have no idea they are being watched while they are in Cuba. But their personal activities are filmed under orders from Castro himself. Child sex, drug use, orgies, those are the sort of things they want to tape, anything--shall we sayethically incorrect. And Castro's undercover agents don't wait around hoping the famous visitors might randomly engage in these things. "
so, is Castro COURTING America? Did these guys - Oliver Stone, Ted Turner, Robert Redford, etal - get invitations from Castro to visit him in Cuba, by chance?
Well, when it happened my husband and I had it on Tivo and watched it over and over for about 20 minutes. We laughed so hard we had tears in our eyes.
Good stuff. Too bad he didn't break more than a knee.
