Fucking CNN...

[Volpone]

OK. While I wouldn't dream of telling anyone Fox News is objective, I don't want to hear a fucking word about CNN being objective either.

This from a September 5 CNN story on the fallout from the Haditha incident (my bold)

...On November 19, 2005, insurgents set off a roadside bomb that killed a Marine. Marines from the victim's unit were eventually charged in connection with the deaths of 24 Iraqi civilians killed shortly after the blast.

The military began investigating the killings in March 2006 after an Iraqi human rights group alleged that Marines had gone on a house-to-house rampage after the bombing. Charges were brought the following December.

A statement from the Marine Corps originally blamed the civilian deaths on the same roadside bomb that killed the member of the detachment, triggering a parallel investigation into how commanders handled the incident. ...

WHAT. THE. FUCK.

How the fuck can CNN, at this point, run a story sticking to the discredited saw that the footage that sparked the McGirk "Time" article came from "an Iraqi human rights group"??!!

It has long since been established that the "Iraqi human rights group" that released the footage actually consisted of two guys, with ties to al Qaeda and that the footage was used by the terrorists to manipulate "Time" magazine into creating the whole mess in front of us today!

Nobody better say a god-damned thing, citing CNN as a respectable source. They are less credible than Fox News and on par with Newsmax, the NYT, and CBS "News"*.









*As a result of the 2004 bogus story about Bush's Air Guard service CBS is now required by law to put "News" in quotation marks.**







**OK, I totally made that part up, but you gotta admit, they should have to. I guess it is a moot point, since no one watches CBS "News". :shrug:
