[hang a left]

By the NSA. Anyone else catch that?

[LisaM]

1. In other words, she was

or at least wiretapped by someone else.

[Misskittycat]

13. We're supposed to believe this denial?

Since when can we believe anything this government says? Why would David Ensor believe this source?

[txindy]

2. Yeah, because the intelligence sources allowed to speak are honest

:rofl:

:rofl:

[zoeb]

3. How about the DNC? n/t

[DS1]

Peace.

9. They made a big huge deal out of it.

It was covered with that blog lady. They had a few blogs up there, Talkingpointsmemo, I think Ameriblog, and described all the chatter on the internets. They talked about MSNBC changing the trascript. The story was denied through an "unnamed" intelligence official who "double-checked" and stated emphatically she had never been listened to, and could not understand what all the excitement was about.

11. Is CNN Even Credible as a Source?

Didn't they help lie America into a war?

[carolinalady]

12. well, If they heard her they immediately destroyed it...according

to that very gullible reporter. They might have destroyed it, but they sure as hell knew what was said. And that crap about US person, that is totally not want Shrub said. He said they are listening-US person or not. And if they destroyed it, how would they know they did not listen? They got no evidence. My bullshit meter is off the charts right now.
:wtf:

[tyne]

16. not really

CNN reported that Christine was not "targeted". Big difference.

[carolinalady]

18. Did you catch the part about if they did they destroyed it?

You must be assuming they actually target all their communication intercepts.

[Burried News]

17. As in nobody put a wire on her phone line? There are lots of possibilities

here. And then of course there is the issue of a foreign intelligence agency such as one that has had issues with CNN in the past?

http://foi.missouri.edu/jourwarcoverage/guesswho.html
Excerpt: "The reporter's complaint was all too obvious.: "Since when do we hold a story hostage to the whims of governments and armies? We were told by Rick that if we do not get an Israeli on-camera, we would not air the package. This means governments and armies are indirectly censoring us and we are playing directly into their hands." "END

Except:
"CNN sources say the network has bowed to considerable pressure on its editors. Israeli officials boast that they now have only to call a number at the network's headquarters in Atlanta to pull any story they do not like."

There's a very long history here.

[Mutley]

20. Uh huh, 'cause CNN has never reported false information, right?

[hang a left]

21. Obviously it is true....

usually they just ignore the blogs. They must be nervous about this story.

[NanceGreggs]

22. CNN is becoming part of those old truisms ...

... as in, "I'm so OLD, I remember when CNN was a news network."

[johnfunk]

23. Yeah right. Nothing to look at here, just move on...

I smell Bushit...

[Junkdrawer]

24. CNN:Confirms through intelligence sources Charles Manson is innocent...

"We asked him and he said he didn't do it. Case Closed."

[Vinnie From Indy]

25. LOL! This is coming from the same CNN that runs 24hrs

a day to bring America fear, irrelevance, distraction, sleaze and general BS. Why in the Christ would ANYONE believe these obvious shills for BushCo.?

How many different ways can they report on the Sago mine accident in order NOT to report on the tsunami of corruption and crime in Washington?

[SoCalDem]

26. Intelligence sources like the ones who said there were WMDs?..n/t

[marylanddem]

27. Hilarious - "Sources" assured them she wasn't targetted?

If they are that stupid, and believe we are that gullible, things are much much worse than I thought.
