Because of the situation in Syria and the WMD chatter circulating the media lately, let us take a look back at the first gulf war and the fine coverage by that respectable network CNN. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8aRwb_XHnQg"]Fake Iraq War Newscast Footage CNN - YouTube
This video is a real broadcast of CNN with Charlse Jaco during the first gulf war. He takes off his gas mask, air raid sirens are heard in the background, and then the picture turns to snow. Not much different than the comical version posted earlier. Wolf Blitzer will probably out near Syria wearing a gas mask with air raid sirens wailing and the picture suddenly turning to snow. Since Syria threatened a cyber-attack, instead of the old gas mask routine, CNN might do itself well to fabricate a cyber-attack that supposedly occurred on its network to hype things up for good ratings. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NnLOrk_dGo"]Charles Jaco in The Persian Gulf (1991) - YouTube
I wrote an entire article about this fake footage years ago. In one of the satellite feeds, you can even see the camera pan away from the stage the two reporters/actors are on, and you can literally see that they're inside a studio filming the whole thing. Yes, folks, this was broadcast as being real news during the Persian Gulf war.
speaking of which, have any of you seen CNN's facebook feed? It's such garbage, but I can't bring myself to unlike it because it reminds me of how worthless CNN has always been.
Communist news network. Anyone that lives around palms knows they don't blow in the wind that way. It's not a fucking weeping willow tree.
there have been situations where we did the wrong thing by not getting involved early enough. sariajvo was one of them. but poking our noses in where ideological prejudice has been the motivation for doing, have of course proven shameful and embarassing quagmires. starting even with korea, but most notoriously viet nam. replacing iran's elected government with the shaw back in the mid 50s, was the birth of middle east unrest, in which demand to control world oil markets continues to trump human lives. there's a whole lot more complication going on there. all of the oil dictatorships america and other western powers helped set up and mantain, need replacing with something more answerable to the will of their citizens. intervention by self serving interests of major powers, is not likely to end with their gaining it. what we need to do, is stop supplying arms to tyrants, and very nearly the only way we can do that, is to stop making them. (the arms, but they tyrannies too) as for cnn, give me a break, cnn provoked, knowingly and deliberately, what had been a nearly successful, and up until then completely peaceful confrontation in tienamin, into what it became, when they came to the brilliant conclusion, a little blood would do a lot more to boost their ratings.
