CNN: Walter Isaacson-- in place for war

[Moses]

Walter Isaacson, AEI member, was put in place at CNN prior to the propaganda of 9/11 and the orchestration of propaganda to invade Iraq.

An oped by him appeared today in the NYTimes:

Spare a House, Save the Peace which demonstrates his intense interest in Israel. I would have to say that he is not representative of the American public at large in this respect, and it is interesting that he was chosen to head CNN. I am guessing that his book is a neocon rewrite of American interest in the service of the neocons agenda.

Steve Withers writes to CNN from New Zealand:

cnn.com used to be my home page. I watched CNN on cable as a reliable, even courageous, source of global news.

"Then came 9/11.

"Over the following days, I watched the CNN anchors move, from openly wondering why anyone would attack America, to following the President's advice to be "responsible"?? and follow the party line.

CNN's credibility died for me in those days.

"The Eason Jordan affair merely highlights what an empty shell Ted Turner's CNN has now become. I watched the tank aim at the Baghdad hotel and kill the Reuters journalist. Some one gave that order. On video, the act was clearly deliberate.

"There is no doubt that al-Jazeera's offices in Baghdad were deliberately attacked just as their office in Kabul had also been attacked only weeks before.

"I've grown quite sick of the US media's cheerleading of the many lies of the Bush Administration - about WMD, Iraq?. and now Iran. I'm especially sad that the CNN who had Peter Arnett in Baghdad in 1990 is no more?. and CNN has joined the ranks of the cheerleaders.

"I know my e-mail isn't going to change any of that. I'm just writing so you know there are people out here who are sceptical and critical?. and CNN no longer makes the grade as a credible source for my news. Too much pandering to the - essentially criminal - Bush Administration has cost you your cred."
