CNN RUN AMOK
CNN | 4-11-03 | self

Posted on 04/11/2003 11:45:54 AM PDT by Mike Darancette

Did anyone see the piece on CNN last night about a little girl being shot in a car that ran a roadblock? It was between 11:00 PM (PDT) and Midnight.

The imbedded newswoman complained that troops did not go to check the disabled vehicle and one of her cameraman went and discovered the wounded girl. The troops patched the girl up and evacuated her.

In the same piece the troops took RPG fire and responded with light arms, killing some people. The newsnitwit said that these were innocents and was cut off while uttering the words "War Crimes".

Sorry, I don't watch CNN. I like to see balanced news; so the set is pretty much left on FOX.

It is war crimes. Why isn't the CNN cameraman checking cars before the checkpoints so the troops aren't forced to fire on them? Damn CNN! /sarcasm (I think)

I didn't see that report, but drudge has a bombshell about another CNN blunder. They have been shooting themselves a lot in the foot lately.

CNwho? What's that? I've listened to the Voice of Russia before on shortwave and Radio Pyongyang. Are they related to that CN thing you're talking about?

Not all the CNN field reporters have gotten the word that Saddam doesn't own them any more.

I saw it. It was NOT Christiane Amanpour but the reporter-gal was nearly as stupid & biased. The tone of the report was "yesterday there was cheering in the streets. today there is only death and destruction". I saw it shortly after I read CNN's admission that they aligned themselves for 12 years with Saddam's propaganda machine & totally complicit with their state torture apparatus. CNN is merely "AlJazeera lite" and, like AlJazeera, cannot be believed.

The reporter must be doubling for NPR. This is exactly the tone of the report this morning.

I saw it.

Did you hear the "War Crimes" stuff it was after they cut video back to the studio and was cut off immediately.

After the Eason Jordan op-ed in the NYTimes, I don't know why anyone would pay attention to anything CNN reports, ever.

It really doesn't supprise me. When I get tired of watching the same old info I saw the last hour on foxnews, I turn over to MSNBC and CNN, but I didn't see this episode of their propaganda.

Why do people here reply to a CNN question by stating that they do not watch CNN? If you don't watch it, don't bother responding. It just adds clutter. I'd rather see a 'All your CNN are belong to us' or 'CNN reports some series stuff' post before a 'I don't watch CNN' post. I am sure these are the same one that do it over and over and over, similar to the reality TV show posts. They go out of their way to tell us they do not watch whatever show is being talked about. As if they are better than those who do watch the show/channel.

P-A-I-D, not P-A-Y-E-D. I love your banners, but you gotta fix that.
