Hussein Lackey Thanks CNN For Cover-Up

If CNN is going to continue using the slogan "the most trusted name in news," then we're going to continue reminding you of how they hid the truth of Saddam's atrocities. I rolled you audio of Iraq's U.N. Ambassador al-Douri kissing CNN's Richard Roth, telling him, "I want just to say thank you very much, Richard, and thanks for the CNN, and thanks for all your colleagues. I was really happy. Thank you for your awareness, thank you for all that you did with me."
Unreal!
Former CNN Baghdad correspondent Peter Collins, who has over 30 years experience in broadcast journalism, sheds more light on this dark alliance in Tuesday's Washington Times. Collins reports CNN producers ordering him to read notes written by Saddam's lackeys as objective reporting! Collins saw CNN president Tom Johnson and chief of international news gathering Eason Jordan "groveling" to Iraq's information minister and Tariq Aziz for an interview with Saddam timed to coincide with Bill Clinton's inauguration.
Johnson actually told Collins that his reading of Saddam's talking points was "a little flat," astonishing the reporter. CNN sent Collins on a ministry of information propaganda trip to Mosul. When Collins reported that the Iraqis had covered up a missile site as a field and blamed American warplanes for bombing farmers, CNN's chief Baghdad reporter Brent Sadler complained that the piece was "not helpful" in landing the Saddam interview! Collins left CNN after his probationary period ended, deciding he couldn't play these sorts of dictator-coddling games.
Meanwhile, Ted Turner appeared on Good Morning, America to tell ABC infobabe Claire Shipman that CNN does a "fair and balanced job with the news, unlike some of our competitors." That's a shot at Fox, but they're not the ones letting Hussein's cheap Goebbels impersonators write TelePrompTer copy. Turner denies that he feels bad after his failure to compete, saying among other things, "How can you be that powerful with diarrhea? Huh?" Based on all this, coalition forces may be looking for Saddam in all the wrong places. They need to search CNN's "news" bureaus for the man who killed more Muslims than anyone in history. |
