Corruption at CNN

“I was on the roof of the Ministry of Information, preparing for my first ‘live shot’ on CNN.

It was an item-by-item summary of points made by [Iraqi] Information Minister Latif Jassim in an interview that morning with Mr. Johnson and Mr. Jordan…. The president of CNN was telling me I seemed less-than-enthusiastic reading Saddam Hussein’s propaganda.” Peter Collins
