A
cornerstone of democracy is a free press. Right?
Controlling the news in the electronic age is also the first priority
for totalitarian regimes seeking to overthrow democracies, e.g.
Hitler's Goebbels franchise, the Democratic party, Islamo
fascist Al-Jazeera. Launching Iraq into a new era of democratic
rule, then, required a reliable broadcast voice, a bulwark against
forces with an interest in seeing Iraq fail at democracy. To that
end, the American taxpayer has been funding Al-Hurra television
''Fighting to create a secular democracy in Iraq,
parliamentarian Mithal al-Alusi had come to rely on at least one TV
network to help further freedom".
Suddenly, however, the station's broadcasting philosophy did an
about face, treating positive news much like the New York Times and CNN
do here, that is - ignore it. Then the station recently stunned its Board of Governors by broadcasting most of a speech by Hezbollah leader
Sheikh Hasan Nasrallah.. So what happened? A Baath Party
infiltration? Al-Qaeda moles? Close.
The airing of the Nasrallah speech is a sign of the network's new
direction since it was taken over by a longtime CNN producer, Larry
Register, last November.
<snip>
Within weeks of becoming news director, Mr. Register put his own stamp
on the network. Producers and on-air talent quickly understood that
change was underway. Investigations into Arab government wrongdoing or
oppression were no longer in vogue, and the ban on turning the airwaves
over to terrorists was lifted....

Unfugginbelievable! Perchance does that radio station fall under the jurisdiction of the commies in the State Department? I thought Condi was going to clean house over there. I just can't believe Condi or anyone who works for her could let this happen.
ReplyDeleteI guess Register is eaten up with liberal guilt, so he gives the Palis and jihadis broadcast time to assuage his conscience. I sincerely hope he gets scooped up by some jihadis and has his head sawed off for the benefit of his new jihadi audience.

CNN paid Saddam Hussein.
ReplyDeleteCNN continues to pay Fidel Castro.
They truly are the Communist News Network.
(PS: I have not willingly watched CNN or visited its website since 2000).

ReplyDeleteSame here at least that long if not longer.
Same here! I quit because I thought I was going to have a stroke screaming at the tv. Pretty much the same thing with the other mainstream crud, I even have trouble with Hannity & Colmes cause everytime that skeleton comes on the screen the bile rises and I feel like I'm going to pull an exorcist all over the screen. Excuse me that was kinda graphic. Nice mud bath though, Thanks.
