Schadenfreude

This is the New York Times CNN Schadenfreude Ping List. Freepmail me to be added or dropped.

Hey Cat, ya married?

[Yardstick]

That was nearly as gratifying as an Anne Coulter column. This girl has the knack.

[HighWheeler]

Nice write-up Cathryn.

I actually watched her making the claims you point out, and was slackjawed that these weasels first admitted lying, distorting, and omitting, then stated that other news sources were better places to get the truth.

That was the first time CNN has been right in 20 years.

Once again, we hear these idiotic claims that somehow Fox is preventing the issues from being discussed, is suppressing debate, etc. How they manage to do that with about 1/20th the market share of NBC etc. remains a mystery. Robert Bellah had an idiotic article in the Christian Century making the same claim, that Fox is somehow controlling debate in this country and suppressing dissent. I actually think that if liberals could find out a way to shut down Fox, they would.

The sweetest revenge.

I don't think I've even looked at CNN in about 6 months or so. Not even a blip.

Channel surf right on by. They don't exist. Neither do their opinions.

[shaggy eel]

I mean, it looks like this was disinformation at the highest levels."

,,, CNN was there to cover disinformation at the highest levels? The sun's always rising somewhere.

[mathluv]

And she is a journalism student at TU?!?!

[shaggy eel]

,,, big BUMP for Cathryn Crawford.

[Lazamataz]

Wonderful job. As usual. :o)

CNN -- Commentary Not News

[Eala]

Now she’s embarrassing the already shame-worthy CNN by saying that they were intimidated into not reporting facts; intimidated by two rather ludicrous sources - Fox News and the Bush administration. She doesn’t offer any hard proof, just the woe-is-me, CNN-is-so-abused whining that has become commonplace in the last few years.

One could take off on Samuel Johnson: "Victimisation is the last refuge of a left-wing scoundrel."

[honeygrl]

GREAT article!! (as usual)

[optimistically_conservative]

Amanpour's Al-Jazeera envy showing ....

[txzman]

OK, Cat is so good we now need the obligatory picture. Anyone got a link?

Looking forward to next articles - conservatism is getting some great female leaders!

Christiane said, "It's not a question of couldn't do it, it's a question of tone. It's a question of being rigorous. It's really a question of really asking the questions. All of the entire body politic in my view, whether it's the administration, the intelligence, the journalists, whoever, did not ask enough questions, for instance, about weapons of mass destruction. I mean, it looks like this was disinformation at the highest levels."

If the “entire body politic” sees things different than you, maybe it’s not them who are mistaken.

Can anyone recommend a good therapist for Christiane? A good MD may be required for the old “war slut” as well, I’ve heard syphilis can derange a person.

[Sloth]

Good column!

[F16Fighter]

Christiane Amanpour :"I think the press was muzzled, and I think the press self-muzzled...[blah, blah, blah, sob, sniffle]"

She doesn’t offer any hard proof, just the woe-is-me, CNN-is-so-abused whining that has become commonplace in the last few years.

LOL -- Nice work, Cathryn...

[Savage Beast]

Christiane is not unusual really. Most so-called "journalists" find it difficult to distinguish fantasy from reality.

[July 4th]

Articles like this make me wonder what I'm missing in Wisconsin. (Actually, I can probably answer that one myself.)
