CNN "obeying in advance" [View all]

There was probably little chance that CNN would be a beacon of good journalism in covering the Iran War, but they are really outdoing themselves. This morning, while nbcnews. com has a huge headline proclaiming Three US Soldiers Dead and Five Wounded that takes up almost half the page, and MSNOW is running a permanent chyron that says 3 US Soldiers Dead, CNN is taking a different tack.

So far I have seen Dana Bash interview Fetterman and Ted Cruz, and on her insufferable "panel" Scott Jennings is allowed to interrupt and smirk to his hearts content. There is no chyron about the three soldiers who died. In fact, at one point towards the end of the hour, a guest said hurriedly before they went to commercial break that three soldiers had died and they hadn't talked about it yet.

CNN has already taken a turn to the right recently that has turned off many viewers. Now they are facing new ownership and I believe they are signaling that they will be good little war cheerleaders.
That portends danger for an already endangered democracy.
