CNN sold its soul long ago. Its coverage of NATO's bombing of Yugoslavia was shockingly biased, casting all Muslims in Kosovo as "helpless refugees" and the Serbs there as Hitlers. Granted, atrocities occured there on both sides, and have always occured there, but the demonizing was something new, and propagated by CNN. It was only when NATO found they couldn't control those "refugees" who suddenly began invading Macedonia and murdering returning Serbs in Kosovo, suddenly the press began calling them "terrorists." I found it disgraceful and suspicious that CNN relied, then and now, on the coverage of Christian Amanpour who is also married to Clinton's Asst. Secretary of State, James Rubin. Talk about the politicizing of the press. You can bet who secured CNN's exclusive deal with Al Jazeera. And you sure don't see any anthrax landing on the desktops of CNN. I find their attempted "interview" with Bin Laden sickening. As Mayor Guiliani so eloquently expressed last week, Bin Laden and Al-Qaeda have forfeited any right to representation: "There is no moral equivalent for this act, there is no justification for it. The people who did it lost any right to ask for justification for it when they slaughtered 5,000, 6,000 innocent people."
