Seems to me that in reading it CNN practiced a degree of self censorship to keep it's reporters and staff safe. It is something of a sad admission and I was not aware of the story so thanks.
But practicing a degree of self censorship is not the same as "having Saddam approve all stories" so I don't think your post was completely accurate.

No you might recall at the time CNN had exclusive presence there, when you talk American media. They were as you recall there because of their decision not to report and abide by Sudams rules.lenharper said:You seem to be suggesting that CNN was providing "good news sanctioned by Saddam" because they knew feel good stories from Bagdad would be a sure fire ratings winner.
Does what you take come in liquid or tablet form?

So you still figure CNN was acting in the interest of its reporters or of self interest by not reporting what Sadam tlod them not to?lenharper said:Since I am generally opposed to censorship my first response would be "no, it is not correct" but I also believe a corporation has an obligation to follow the laws of whatever nation it is doing business in. I would rather Google did not do business in China under the current regime as I feel adherence to principle is more important than profit.
Where tha the case, why did the ecec in charge resign?lenharper said:You have almost snared me. But -- it seems in the articles you quoted that CNN self censored themselves rather than follow direct orders from Saddam. Yeah, I'm splitting a few hairs here, I'll admit it.
I guess presented with the facts you laid out -- I would say they acted to protect their people on the ground but they were also unwilling to pull out because their presence in Iraq was good for business.
