Media confesses it covered up Saddam's evil
phil — (archived)

This is disgusting.
Under the guize of protecting "access" and its employees, CNN Confesses that for 10 years, it LIED by omission to cover up the evils of Saddam's regieme that it SAW FIRST HAND. CNN witnessed evil directly yet hypocritically blasted Bush for referring to terrorists and terrorist states as evil. This is one admission of what I'm certain were many such incidents. Great job, press.

A sample...

"Over the last dozen years I made 13 trips to Baghdad to lobby the government to keep CNN's Baghdad bureau open and to arrange interviews with Iraqi leaders. Each time I visited, I became more distressed by what I saw and heard — awful things that could not be reported because doing so would have jeopardized the lives of Iraqis, particularly those on our Baghdad staff."

Yah, in the interim we get puff piece "news" like Dan Rather's interview with Saddam.
