2. Does this make them "liberal?" Just because they believe in a free press?

18. And I may undelete them from my remote control!
FOX still has no chance in this house, but perhaps CNN - on a trial basis!

8. See, Lou is worth a damn
he's going to cover the profiteering!

forgive him for his minor eccentricities, he truly is on the side of the middle class and the majority of Americans...and often was the *only*
journalist covering these sorts of stories.

11. actually i think it has more to do with the "Recovery" Gen. Honore
said "No embedded jounos allowed to go on recovery missions" I think CNN maybe thinks the actual number that have died will be kept under wraps by the feds.

15. CNN does this all the time
Edited on Fri Sep-09-05 05:09 PM by jim3775
They file court motions in every major trial for more access, this isn't anything new.

20. Well, this is a little more than a court trial
And I say good on them for doing it. Doesn't matter if they've done it a million times -- I think there is real merit in this one.
