CNN still sucking up to Saddam? Apparently so …
I’m not the only one who found CNN’s graphical treatment of the news of Saddam’s death to be more than a little off-putting. Michelle Malkin had this observation:
Lots of readers are peeved by CNN’s memorial tribute to Saddam. Reader Roger writes, “Did Gerald Ford get this much respect on CNN’s home page?”
Answer: Yes. Almost exactly equal amounts of respect.
People, you have to understand, CNN has an international perspective. Many of their paying customers live in nations where it’s the official policy to hate America and everything we stand for. So they play it straight and objective, without any value judgments. That’s why Lou Dobbs runs all those scrupulously unbiased reports on the nation’s economic and immigration policies.
End sarcasm.
