CNN's Eason Jordan Admits: CNN allowed news to be shaped by threats

Dear Friends,

When I first started my campaign to enlighten friends of Israel to the distortions on CNN -- at the beginning of the Intifada, about two years ago-- I sent my complaints to the person in charge: Mr. Eason Jordan. Mr. Jordan was always very polite, even when outraged list members clogged his inbox with three thousand e-mails a day.

He told me once he'd like to meet me. He tried to explain that there was no deliberate bias on CNN's part, and that they sought balance and truth in their reporting, even as CNN's deliberate twisting of the news against Israel became more and more blatant....And now, in an article to the New York Times, Mr. Jordan admits how he "shaped" the news of what was going on in Iraq -- all, of course-- for the noblest of reasons: to protect CNN staff.

For me, this calls into question how CNN reports from areas in control of terrorist madmen. The PLO, after all, made a habit of intimidating Journalists. CNN's penchant for reporting the news supplied by the Palestinian Authority without verifying its facts independently must now be called into question. What news from our area, we have to ask, did Mr. Jordan and his staff swallow to protect themselves from threats from Mr. Arafat and other terrorists?

There was a simple solution to Mr. Jordan's moral dilemma: close the CNN bureau anywhere one's journalists are threatened. That would have been the honest thing to do, the professional thing, instead of spending years and years reporting only what the regime wanted you to in order to protect your staff. But of course, what would that have done to CNN profits, and CNN Arabic? Please read. I won't say I told you so. You'll say: Naomi, you told us so.

All the best,

Naomi

Saw that this morning. I've said it before....for all you want to talk about United and their international profile [url]getdevelop.topcities.com[/url], they really seem to do business the right way. I'm interested to see just how much Kenyon had to do with these results, so next year will be interesting.
