I have long maintained that Christians or anyone who wanted an objective view of the world can't trust the Main Stream Media in the USA or anywhere else. Almost all members of the MSM have a radical far left agenda that shows in how and what they report. Everyone now knows about how Dan Rather and CBS tried to use forged documents to bring down the President. Now we have a new glaring example.
On 27 January 2005, Eason Jordan the Chief News Executive of CNN was addressing the World Economic Forum. He claimed in front of an audience in Europe of leaders from all over the world including many in the Islamic world, that "he knew of 12 journalists who had not only been killed by US troops in Iraq, but they had in fact been targeted. He repeated the assertion a few times, which seemed to win favor in parts of the audience (the anti-US crowd) and cause great strain on others." He offered no proof of any of these claims, and since then CNN has tried to claim he was quoted out of context, but has refused to release the video tape or even a transscript of the event.
This is not the first time Mr. Jordan has slandered the US Military. Last November he claimed in front of an audience in Portugal "journalists have been arrested and tortured by US forces". Again just claims without any proof and in front of an international audience.
Can any objective person trust CNN after such wild claims with no proof by their Chief News Executive? If you are still watching TV or reading a newspaper as your primary news source you are not getting the truth!
