"TERROR ON TAPE !"

Two weeks ago CNN obtained exclusive Al-Quida footage and aired it over the course of five days. The footage was packaged as some sort of mini-seris under the title "Terror on Tape!" Each day CNN treated us to lovely images such as an innocent dog being gassed to death, some Al- Quida training footage, and pre-Sept. 11th Bin Laden footage. At the end of each segment they would hype up the next day's footage. Eventually after the initial airings local new outlets were permitted to air them. The American public needs to see footage like this, but the way the footage was packaged bordered on a shamless ratings ploy.

Here's the kicker! CNN originally wanted to film President Bush's reaction to the footage. (Im not sure why the fottage wasn't turned over to the defense department even if there was no new evidence or findings in them). The admistration wisely refused to particpate because it would basically just be using Bush as a prop for good reality TV for CNN. Ahhh.. got you to love the cut throat business of the cable news networks. Also can anyone tell my why MSNBC is America's news network when FOX NEWS and CNN always cream them in the ratings?
