In reaction to CNN's gambit to give air time to an enemy with
whom the U.S. is at war, MRC President L. Brent Bozell on
Wednesday released his own six questions to CNN formulated with
input from the MRC's Liz Swasey and Rich Noyes. Bozell suggested:
"One finds it absurd to believe that if CNN existed 60 years ago
it would give an audience to Adolf Hitler or Emperor Hirohito who
ordered the attack on Pearl Harbor. This is truly outrageous, it
is harming the war effort and it's a slap in the face to the
American people."

Bozell's six questions for CNN:

"-- Knowing that terrorists thrive on media exposure to spread
their propaganda, and that the interview was instigated by al
Qaeda, why would you allow your international network to be used
by a wanted terrorist and known killer?
"-- Have you sought assurances from the government of the
United States that this endeavor will not in any way jeopardize
the war against terrorism or cause further loss of life?
"-- Given that bin Laden is a liar - he first denied having
anything to do with the terrorist attacks on the U.S. -- why do
you think he will be honest with CNN?
"-- Will you independently verify bin Laden's statements
before you put them on the air?
"-- If CNN had existed 60 years ago, would it have interviewed
and aired comments from Emperor Hirohito, the man who ordered the
attack on Pearl Harbor?
"-- If CNN had existed 60 years ago, would it have given a
forum to Adolf Hitler to explain his hatred of Jews and
Christians?"
