CNN blasts Fox for Outrageous, False, Hypocritical reporting! WHAT A JOKE!
http://www.mediaite.com/tv/cnns-nic-robertson-calls-fox-news-claim-journalists-were-used-as-human-shields-outrageous-and-absolutely-hypocritical/

Nick Robertson is Shocked,!!! Shocked!!!!!! that fellow journalists are willing to make outrageous charges against the Libyan Gov. not based of FACTS.

Guess he has not been listening to reports from his fellow "journalists" on CNN.

GET USED TO IT NICK!


How many times does Anderson Cooper interview annoymous anti-Gaddafi sources on "LIVE" calls talking about the "mad Gaddafi's" evil intents and "massacres" going on -- ONLY TO END BY SAYING THAT CNN CANNOT CONFIRM the reliability of the report???

How many times does Arwa Damon provide blow by blow depictions of "fighting," "massacres" and FEARS of "massacres" based only on second hand reports from the rebel forces within which she is embedded.

When will we hear any report of how many pro-Gaddafi persons are being killed?
When will we get "annonymous" calls/reports from pro-Gaddafi civilians or fighters scared for their lives in the midst of fire-fights with the rebels. Or don't pro-Gaddafi people have feelings to express or blood that is spilled.

When will CNN do a story on the perversity of going to the Arab League to seek ligitimacy for action against Libya -- its like going to Charlie Sheen's wife for a decision on custody of their children -- given that Gaddafi is widely hated in the League for his repeated broadsides against their inaction on the Palestinian issue and their illegitimacy as representatives of Arab populations.

The deep-seated bias evident in most Western reporting on Libya makes Robertson's complaint about Fox laughable. In Libya, the rebels are Tea-party darlings, and all media is behaving like Fox News.

1. Of course, any complaint about Fox is laughable. After all, they're "Fair and balanced"

2. "We can't help ourselves. We are a Republicon propaganda catapult." - Fox
"So naturally we lie and spin and manipulate. It's our essence. Deal with it."

- Fox (R)

5. I'd love to get a gander on the stories for ALL the media that get cut because they don't fit the
the "official" anti-Gaddafi line.
