I'm glad CNN is "coming clean"... however CNN helped Bush and was
an "enabler" for constant mistruths and the lead up to war.

TPTB are changing horses.

If you ask me...our media needs to be held accountable as well.


You can learn more about CNN's actions then thier words tonight...most of thier air personalities still "mislead americans every day.


IMHO...a power shift is coming and they are covering their butts.

1. You got it.
I'm not looking a gift horse in the mouth, BUT CNN changing horses all of a sudden?

WTF?

They know somethings up.

But I, for one, will NEVER forget their shilling for *.

This whole debacle could have been averted.

We must never forget how the Fourth Estate has failed America.

3. They made no mention of Wilson's visit to Niger when they were
talking about the uranium and the "16 words"....This would have been the perfect time to bring it in and also Karl Rove's outing of Plame....They also didn't mention that Paul O'Neill and Richard Clarke (both former White House insiders) have said Bush was intent on going to war against Iraq from day one in the White House!....All of this would have made Bush look bad!

6. they are looking to change "leaders"...not cause "civil unrest"
IF they really wanted massive change and truth....much more could be shared.

8. Bingo once again, my friend.
Because 'Civil Unrest' is exactly where we are heading.

Your 'TBTB' is telling insofar as whomever is calling the shots in socio-economic-media realities has quite possibly decided that the risk was greater than the benefit.

Time will tell.

Look for the media to do an about-face starting now, and that will be the sign that this CNN report is not just an anomoly...

9. I think the about face has already subtly started on CNN this past
week. Wolf Blitzkrieg's emphasis on Hagel comparing VietNam to Iraq, and that Hagel thought that B* made a mistake in not meeting with Cindy, and quite frankly, just the extent of coverage for Cindy (although much of it has been typically whorish for *)...the coverage on Cindy has been so unexpected, that I initially thought that they were trying to get the focus off Rovegate et al. Something's up, all right.

BTW: What is TBTB?

12. It's possible
But CNN is a "flatworm" in that if u cause it pain and it will attempt to hurt you. Seems to me that getting MSM onboard is more important than revenge at this time (despite it's deservedness).
