Brit Lord Haw Haw wannabes on CNN Int'l.

CNN Int'l remains a citadel of terrorist support in the Middle East, even while its analogue with Wolf Blitzer continues some effort to retain objectivity.

CNN Int'l has a trio of repulsive Brits, who seem to revel in submitting to the Hezbollah minders that shuttle quisling-wannabes like Nic Robertson, Brent Sadler and Ben Wedeman around Lebanon showing them what to shoot, how to pose it, and offer thematic impressions that Hezbollah wishes to convey. Aiding them on the ground is a strange-looking fellow named Clancy who has been around a long time, but never made an impression, probably because he keeps getting the story wrong.

Robertson, you may be reminded, was reprimanded publicly by headmaster Anderson Cooper for slavishly following his Hezbo-minder through south Beirut and getting staged photo-ops along the way---which evidently suited this turncoat-wannabe just fine. After a couple of days making an attempt at objectivity, he reverted to his Stockholm Syndrome habits and began again parroting the nitwittery his terrorist buddies whispered in his ear.

I saw whiner Wedeman today just weeping out loud about all the suffering going on in South Lebanon---not a word about who started the war.

Does CNN Int'l have a death-wish, or is the international-left hatred for GWB driving them off the rails in their coverage of this war?

By the way, both CNN Int'l and PBS News, which uses ITN and a throaty fruitcake named Julyan Manyon to bleat out how the suffering never ceases---again, nary a word about pellet-filled Katyushas aimed at Israeli civilians---both these terrorist-loving outlets showed the same footage of a suffering old woman and another of a woman whose husband and child had been killed. The audience was not allowed to take this in, rather plummy-voice Manyon ululated in a mannish way concerning the carnage, and distracted from the true tragedy at hand.

I'm certain that these Brits have Lord Haw Haw as their broadcast icon, and hate their homeland as much as they hate America---oh, and incidentally themselves, for being born "sports of nature."

I believe they deserve the same destiny as their hero Joyce, who ended up on the gallows for his kind of treason. Their kind of treason garners Emmys and in the print mode, Pulitzers.

Dave,

For the historical rcord,

William Joyce (Lord Haw-Haw) was born in Brooklyn to an American citizen father.

Otherwise, I take your point.
