Conyers on Inside Politics on CNN
They're lettng him have his say, too. The report asserts that this is important now because support for the war has dropped dramatically.

2. CNN: The memo may answer the question _
Did the US and Britian go to the UN to avoid war or to justify it.

5. FINALLY. Said that over 500,000 Americans had signed a petition as
well as 104 congressional members asking for an investigation. Slap my butt and call me Sassy, we finally got air time.

10. "Important now because support for the war has dropped". Whatever.
Edited on Wed Jun-15-05 03:30 PM by Brotherjohn
What they mean to say is, "It's important now because we feel it may not hurt our ratings anymore to bash Bush. In fact, it may help!"

No, CNN, it simply IS IMPORTANT. It doesn't matter how many Americans are for or against the war. It was important then and it's important now, because we were taken into a massive, unprecedented, illegal war which has caused our country (not to mention Iraq) grave harm, and this was done so under false pretenses.

Whatever helps them sleep at night. As long as they're dragging their sorry asses off their collective couches and actually covering something that's important.

16. Amen!
Following with Cunningham's house and Schiavo. Well - ratings and revenue. But for me, the tv will never again be the source of news. I'm sticking with DU, left radio and of course, the blogs I trust. And I do hope that Moyers can come back in some format - tv, radio, whatever.

17. isn't news supposed to be about telling the truth?
what does the popularity or lack thereof have to do with making the memos public?

very telling comment about the sad state of the mainstream media.

18. Seems that in spite of CNN not covering DSM et al people are finding out
et all includes almost anyone against the war BEFORE the war getting any airtime (save for Clark on Aaron Brown's show)
