Spring Break
CNN admitted biased reporting
Issue date: 11/14/03 Section: Mail Call
In response to Collins Ezeanyim's Nov. 5 column:
Why does The Battalion almost always take a leftist view on issues and not report the whole story? The recent column on Fox News is a shocking example of this.
How can The Battalion endorse CNN when CNN's chief news executive Eason Jordan said in The New York Times on April 11 that CNN purposely failed to report Iraqi atrocities for the past 10 years? CNN did this so it could keep reporting from Iraq. But it was basically reporting Saddam's point of view. No where was this mentioned in The Battalion article.
This is especially scary since The Battalion is the only news source for some students at A&M. A&M students deserve better, they deserve to get the full story.
