If you watch Anderson Cooper 360, you’re a sheep, but besides that you may have witnessed the “exclusive” footage CNN aired which showed Iraqi insurgent snipers assassinating American soldiers. Here’s the video from The O’Reilly Factor w/ Kirsten Powers and Michelle Malkin. Michelle said it best that CNN is just “being used as a tool” by the Iraqi insurgents. By the way, if you want to support the guys who’s job it is to counter-snipe these insugents check out American Snipers. Also check out Michelle’s VENT over at HOTAIR, some more detail on the history.

It’s not alright to show innocents like Nick Berg being beheaded or to show those poor people jumping from the twin-towers from 9/11/2001 and it shouldn’t be alright to show assassinations of soldiers (US or not) protecting the citizens of Iraq. No one needs to see it, and no one should see it that isn’t involved with tracking those guys down and bringing them to justice. Yes, report on it, but the footage is nothing more than propaganda. There is enough of that crap already on YouTube that we don’t need CNN or any other network showing it.

October 23 edition of MSNBC’s Scarborough Country:

Pat Buchanan:

“I find this really—I mean, this is appalling! Look, I’m not for this war. This is a snuff film, is what it is!”

Joe Scarborough:

While it‘s OK for us to show—possibly show these insurgents killing our troops, there are a lot of news networks, a lot of news executives, including the last one that worked at MSNBC, who was our former president, who wouldn‘t let us show images of 9/11 because he thought it was too disturbing for American viewers, and yet it‘s OK for CNN to show these terrorists…

…

I want to read what the CNN executive who worked on Anderson Cooper‘s show had to say. And I‘m not judging Anderson Cooper or CNN yet. I want to finish this debate. He said, “Our goal, as always, is to present the unvarnished truth as best as we can.”I—I—you know what, thought? I don‘t want to judge him, but I think that‘s a load of crap

Pat Buchanan:

I will. Look—look, “the New York Times” has a saying, “All the news that‘s fit to print.” I don‘t to want to see those guys falling out of that tower. I don‘t think American people should see it. We know it happened. What‘s wrong with this is this is not news. This is a little propaganda piece. It‘s titillating. It‘s exciting. And it‘s appalling and disgusting because it shows people have no concern or care! All they‘re going for—they‘re going for titillation. They‘re going for audience. And to show this type of thing—and frankly, I object to the government of the United States—these are our soldiers, whether you like the war or not… (interrupted) … and you shouldn‘t show this sort of thing!
