Harris portrays CNN as the mouthpiece of Saddam

How could you consider it to be anything ELSE? What, with the recent revelations about the incompetent and unethical behavior with respect to the Baghdad bureau? CNN is hardly what you'd call a "news" organization.

Of course, there is nothing new there. They've always been a mouthpiece for anything liberal or anti-American.

He also questioned American and British intelligence...wow, man the press is not picking up on this stuff. Harris is harping that CNN held back to keep from getting tossed out and stuff like this goes largely ignored by ALL the press. Harris portrays CNN as the mouthpiece of Saddam...!!! Are we close to fascism or what? I love it. The great unifiers, led by the chief unifier himself, are busy destroying the nation as we knew it. I grieve for the future of the country.

The fact is they have become emboldened. For over a year now, there has been informal censorship in play in this country and most have been afraid to voice their minds. The press tries but then they are accused of anti Americanism or showing a lack of patriotism, and are forced to toe a certain line......although that seems to be changing.

You know there's been a change when people like Lott and Santorum and Gingrich speak their minds and say things that just a short while ago would have been considered politically incorrect. They feel a certain legitimacy because people are afraid to oppose them.

Americans need to wake up.........many do not know of the weird stuff that's taking place...like religious fasting within the halls of Congress. Americans have gotten used to not paying much attention to national politics and the antics of Congress. It could well be our undoing.
