CNN Brings Comfort and Aid to the Enemy

Did you hear about the latest low? CNN has a reporter on a rooftop w/ insurgents, and the reporter raises the camera with an enemy sniper as he raises his gun and fires from a roof top! The sniper fires a shot and the American soldier strolling a marketplace falls forward, fatally wounded. The cameraman then photographs the sniper team walk away to their getaway vehicle. CNN releases the video, and the reporter reports in an orgasmic manner as the sniper does his deed.

Bush's aid Mr. Snow goes on the record saying that it's not the President's responsibility to go after CNN, but to allow free speech!

What do you think?

Chris

At a certain point, and in certain times freedom of speech should not be allowed to the press. Yes, they can cover local stories and national stories, but leave the combat reports to the armed forces men and women who report stories, and for the love of all that is right, DONT GO ALONG WITH THE TERRORISTS FOR A STORY!

I have always believed that CNN was crap, and this confirms it beyond any shadow of a doubt. If that airs, there should be a nationwide boycott of their advertisers. THAT is the only way to stop this kind of crap, hit them where it hurts, their wallet. Then just for fun, let's tie Ted Turner to an anthill, then cover him with syrup.

I say go along with all the scumbag/terrorpricks on all the "missions" they will invite u to, and instead of a camera that holds film, use one that holds bullets or C-4...

Then go James Bond style...

Put that on the air CNN....

I think that press should stay miles away from the frontline, and news should be given by militar bullettins in order to avoid casualities between press staff. Furthermore soldiers could do a better job without a camera always pointed on them.

Accessory to murder, i don't know, but banned from his profession immediately , that's for sure.this guy is disturbed.Imagine what cnn would say if this reporter was from another country's network.

It's sad to see what some reporters do in order to achieve tv ratings ( it happens everywhere nowadays).Strong complaints by emails/faxes may bring some results..

I wonder how folks would of reacted if a reporter (say a Brit or an American) attached himself to an SS unit during WW2 as they were advancing through the Soviet Union in 1942?

It wasn't a CNN reporter but a video shot by the insurgents which was given to CNN however after saying that is it newsworthy . Personally I don't think it is but is it any different then watching the people jump from WTC or gun camera footage

You might feel differently if that was your son, or father, or other relative. To broadcast Americans being killed by snipers in America is at the very least, in poor taste.

I have a bunch of the terrorist/insurgent vid clips where they use IEDs and sniper fire... All of em have that same old sh!tass chanting... I have them titled numerically, FreakinBastards001 ect ect...

I feel they are relativly educational to the educated and benifical to intelligence branches/Spec Ops guys... Knowing how the enemy does surprise attacks enables the troopers to prevent it....

To a degree....

If anyones interested in seeing a few, just say so... I would post them only to use for educational purposes...
