The CNN "blackouts" are NOT coincidence
CNN does this all the time - Kerry speeches, Terry McCauliffe (had Gillespie live, but when time for TM they had "satellite problems", and had to talk to him by phone), you name it.

It never happens on the other side of the aisle - it really doesn't.

Eason.Jordan@turner.com is the email addy to use - he is Woodruff's boss, but he WILL respond to you, even if it is only 1-2 lines.

When you write, please don't get too crude - just tell him you've caught on to the game, and appeal to the fact that they were at one time a respected news source.

Which is true, BTW - CNNi still is.

1. CNN is shilling for their Saudi shareholders now.
They are NOT a respected news source, they are propagandists.

3. CNN is DEAD
I used to love it. Wolf, Lou Dobbs (who BTW, is gonna have some special on how they can steal elections), and Aaron Brown. Obviously CNN has turned to the dark side, and i will prob not even watch Aaron Brown again.

4. CNN still has one good program, imo
I will take Lou Dobbs' realistic stories over Neil Cavuto's Rovian lies anyday, when it comes to financial news.

D5E:destruction, degradation, denial, disruption, deceit, and exploitation

CONCEPT PAPER


Working Group on Preventive and Preemptive Military Intervention


William W. Keller and Gordon R. Mitchell1
Project Coordinators


<Snip>

U.S. Senator Jay Rockefeller (D-WV), the ranking Democrat on the Senate
Intelligence Committee, called for an FBI investigation into the forgery of documents cited by President Bush and Secretary Powell as proof of Iraq’s nuclear transactions with Niger. As Rockefeller explained in a letter to FBI Director Robert Mueller: “There is a
possibility that the fabrication of these documents may be part of a larger deception campaign aimed at manipulating public opinion and foreign policy regarding Iraq.”26

The timeliness of Rockefeller’s proposed inquiry was underscored by the
appearance of official documents that lay out official American deception plans: "In a document last autumn, the joint chiefs of staff stressed the need for strategic deception and influence operations as tools of war. The army, navy and air force have been directed to devise plans for information warfare."27 According to defense analyst William Arkin, the Bush strategy lays out goals for information warfare that pursue D5E: "destruction, degradation, denial, disruption, deceit, and exploitation." Arkin notes that the wide array of sites and ractices of information control brought into the range of this policy "blurs or even erases the boundaries between factual information and news, on the one hand, and public relations, propaganda and psychological warfare on the other."28

This fusion of military deception programs with media propaganda efforts enabled the Office of Strategic Influence to commission officers from the U.S. Army's Psychological Operations Command to work as interns in the news division of CNN.29
