You didn’t put the worst one. Walter Duranty and the New York Times.
NERVE GAS?????
ME AND MY MILITARY COLLEAGUES WOULD HAVE NEVER USE IT EVEN IF WE HAD IT AND WERE ORDERED TO DISPENSE IT!
One thing the individual soldiers and marines I was associated with believed in strongly was the Geneva Convention and it stated in no uncertain terms “NO CHEMICAL AGENTS”.
Outside of TEAR GAS we used nothing.
Anything for sensationalism….ey what CNN …!?
FUCK YOU VERY MUCH C. N. N.
Good that they didn’t mention Fox News… Because it is everything exept Journalism..
Yes Fox is a scandal on it’s own. But it isn’t a Journalism scandal.. It has anything to do with Journalism but all with scandal.
How the hell is this video under 10 minutes when “Top 10 Songs that Musicians Shamelessly Name Themselves In” is 12 minutes? That video should be 6-7 minutes TOPS.
Fuck the sun
can you say CNN
The 30 second spot couldn’t cover half of the disgraces from Hillsborough. Don’t buy the Scum – YNWA. #JFT96
americans have no idea about the hillsbrough disaster, the police and the suns huge cover up, its by far the biggest scandal on this list.
What about bill o’riley and his I fought four wars with a pen lie
S*n = scum
