History

CNN Covering September 11 attacks

CNN Iraq war coverage

Since CNN's launch on June 1, 1980, the network has expanded its reach to a number of cable and satellite television networks (such as CNN Headline News), 12 web sites, two private place-based networks (such as CNN Airport Network), and two radio networks. The network has 42 bureaus around the world and more than 900 affiliates worldwide. CNN has launched many regional and foreign-language networks around the world. CNN debuted its news website CNN.com (then referred to as CNN Interactive) on August 30, 1995, which it describes as the first major news and information website on the Internet.

CNN's global reputation was greatly enhanced in 1991 during the Gulf War, where its saturation coverage was carried around the world. It obtained much of that coverage through close cooperation with the U.S. government, which led to accusations that it did not attempt to investigate the claims of the U.S. government during the war. There was a television movie, Live from Baghdad, about the network's coverage of the war. 1991 is a common year starting on Tuesday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

CNN International now provides regional editions of its news service, in response to foreign demand for less U.S.-centric news coverage, and also rival services such as BBC World and Sky News.

Controversies and allegations of bias

See also: Media bias, Propaganda model Media bias is a real or perceived tendency of journalists and news producers within the mass media to approach both the presentation of particular stories, and the selection of which stories to cover, with an unbalanced perspective. ... The propaganda model is a theory advanced by Edward S. Herman and Noam Chomsky that seeks to explain systemic biases of the mass media in terms of structural economic causes. ...

CNN has come mainly under criticism by conservatives for an alleged liberal bias. Conservatism or political conservatism is any of several historically related political philosophies or political ideologies. ... Liberal bias is a common phrase used in American political discourse to express their view that the American media generally has a liberal bias. ...

Conservatives have alleged that CNN's reporting is characterized by liberal editorials disguised as news and have jokingly referred to CNN as the "Clinton News Network", the "Communist News Network", or "Clearly Not Neutral." Conservative critics point to the following as evidence of bias:

• During the first Gulf War, CNN reporters Bernard Shaw, Peter Arnett, and John Holliman refused to be debriefed by the US military concerning what they saw during their stay at the Al-Rashid Hotel in Baghdad during the initiation of the air campaign, citing themselves as belonging to an "international" news organization and stating it would compromise their journalistic principles. [4] (http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/printer-friendly.asp?ARTICLE_ID=24752) [5] (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/fr/633771/posts)
• On August 16, 1997, Chief News Executive Eason Jordan gave gifts to North Korean leader Kim Jong-il to nurture a relationship with CNN.[6] (http://www.kcna.co.jp/item/1997/9708/news8/16.htm) (Jordan had been credited in 1996 with gaining exclusive access to North Korea for CNN reporters.)
• In January 1998, Lucia Newman [7] (http://www.cnn.com/CNN/anchors_reporters/newman.lucia.html), the bureau chief in Havana reported that Cuba's single candidate elections were better than the elections with “no dubious campaign spending” and “no mud slinging” in the United States.
• On March 10, 1999, while speaking at Harvard, Eason Jordan thanked leftist Cuban President Fidel Castro for inspiring the creation of CNN International.
• In 1999, CNN, in partnership with corporate sister Time magazine, ran a report that Operation Tailwind included use of Sarin gas to kill a group of defectors from the United States military. The story proved untrue, CNN issued a public retraction. [8] (http://edition.cnn.com/US/9807/02/tailwind.johnson/)
• In 2000, Lou Dobbs left CNN, reportedly due to heated clashes with then-president Rick Kaplan, who was frequently accused of manipulating news programs to present a liberal slant. Dobbs returned the following year at the behest of CNN founder Ted Turner.
• On April 11, 2003, Eason Jordan admitted that CNN knew about atrocities committed in Iraq by Saddam Hussein since 1990, but the network refused to tell the public so that it could gain better access to the government.[9]  (http://www.nytimes.com/2003/04/11/opinion/11JORD.html?ex=1050638400&en=ec21e8cd8fea181c&ei=5007&partner=USERLAND) The conservative critics downplay Jordan's main point, that complete reporting would have jeopardized the lives of Iraqi informants.
• Shortly after the 2004 Election, a picture of President Bush with First Lady Laura Bush named "asshole.jpg" and another of the pair named "moron.jpg" were posted on Netscape news, which is a content affiliate of CNN, but has their own editorial control over what is published on their site. CNN denied any of their employees was responsible, and blamed Netscape [10] (http://www.cnn.com/interactive/main/0411/frameset.exclude.html). Both are owned by Time Warner.
• In November 2004 at the News Xchange conference in Portugal, Eason Jordan claimed that United States armed forces arresting and torturing journalists in Iraq. He also claimed that American troops were intentionally killing journalists.[11] (http://www.guardian.co.uk/Iraq/Story/0,2763,1355027,00.html) Also at the conference, Chris Cramer, a CNN executive, claimed that journalists were being “deliberately targeted (by the US military) for seeking out the truth.”
• On January 27, 2005 Eason Jordan claimed 12 journalists who were killed were actually targeted by United States troops. He later tried to backtrack on his comments, but resigned from CNN on February 11, 2005 in an effort, he claimed, to spare the network from further controversy. Jordan's comments invoked outrage in the US, even among such "liberal" politicians such as Sen. Christopher Dodd and Rep. Barney Frank.
• On March 24, 2005 in an interview with PBS' Charlie Rose, CNN President Jonathan Klein called FOX News Channel's audience "mostly angry white men [who] ... tend to be rabid." Klein then said a liberal, progressive TV network would never be as successful as Fox because "progressives don't get too worked up about anything. And they're pretty morally relativistic." Klein is a former executive vice president of CBS News who oversaw the "60 Minutes II" program when it "broke" the Bush National Guards memos story, which led to the Memogate scandal.
