Commendable CNN Coverage of Iran Riots! (Vanity)

Posted on 06/20/2009 9:38:19 AM PDT by parisa

Though a longtime freeper, this is my first ever vanity here.

I felt it's important to post this vanity about CNN's coverage of the post so-called "elections" in Iran which in my opinion has been one of the best and most thorough in this country. I have already sent them an email thanking them for their excellent coverage because contrary to the left which never acknowledges anything positive on the right, we should, and do, give credit where credit's due.

THEREFORE, THANK YOU CNN FOR FINALLY -- AND SO FULLY AND TRUTHFULLY -- COVERING THE MASS PEOPLE'S MOVEMENT FOR DEMOCRACY IN IRAN!

Now if they would come down on the side of freedom and start questioning the President on his non-committal stance.

I v-chipped CNN (thank you, Algore) so you will have to be my eyes and ears. Is Anderson Cooper referring to the protestors as “tea-baggers”?

CNN's christianne amanpour read her analysis of the speech right after it was live on CNN. She didn't discuss the last half the way it was delivered.

1. Reference to 'that Clinton woman's husband, the branch davidians and 80 people burned alive in a house in Texas

2. It doesn't matter which government runs the US - they are all the same pro zionist dogs.

3. Foreign devils are responsible for all street riots and the Iranians are too good to let this influence them.

4. One could sum up the ayatollah's remarks with the sentence: " Iam your leader, it doesn't matter who is president since, I am the leader....

The coverage of what was said as announced by the translator (4 am CST) and what CNN claims was said are 180 degrees apart.

They are making up for their slow start, I give them that.
But they keep reporting “hundreds maybe thousands” of protesters. WTF?
Does this look like hundreds?

I’ve been getting “tweets” forwarded to me from a friend who’s “tweeting” (does this all sound bazzar to anyone but me? I mean tweets, tweeting.....LOL) with some students over there and just got one that the foreign embassies have opened their doors to those injured today (guess it’s really really getting rough over there but these folks are NOT “going gently into the night”) - I replied to the friend all that action does is reinforce what a spineless
s$%t we’ve got sitting at 1600 Penn Ave.....

Actually- I tried watching CNN- managed until Christianne Amanpour came on and I gave up. Her entire approach is pro mullah.

Meanwhile- over on FOX they’re covering live too and doing very well.

So are they going to get rid of all the mullahs?

I agree that their coverage is good, but remember, a few days ago CNN was getting worldwide condemnation for its LACK of coverage of the protests immediately after the election.

They are just over-compensating so they do not lose their global viewership.

Your post is a lie. At the time of CNN’s coverage Twitter was going crazy that they were showing footage of State run Iranian t.v. with unconfirmed reports.

For a while this morning, they were the only ones even appearing to try to do some serious coverage of Iran, so I give them credit for that.

Then Amanpour came on, and Fox seems to have stepped up on this.

Chill noob. The poster was expressing his opinion. We frown on personal attacks.

Twitter and other sites are completely upset with CNN. For showing state run Iranian propaganda....and I’m talking about today,(Saturday), not the other day.
