Allegations of bias[edit]
CNN has been the subject of allegations of liberal bias. Conducted by the Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics and Public Policy at Harvard University and the Project for Excellence in Journalism, the authors found disparate treatment by the three major cable networks of Republican and Democratic candidates during the earliest five months of presidential primaries in 2007: "The CNN programming studied tended to cast a negative light on Republican candidates – by a margin of three-to-one. Four-in-ten stories (41%) were clearly negative while just 14% were positive and 46% were neutral. The network provided negative coverage of all three main candidates with McCain faring the worst (63% negative) and Romney faring a little better than the others only because a majority of his coverage was neutral. With the exception of Obama, Democrats tended not to fare well either. Nearly half of the Illinois Senator's stories were positive (46%), vs. just 8% that were negative, but both Clinton and Edwards ended up with more negative than positive coverage overall. While Democrats on average tended to have more positive coverage, the trend was skewed by particularly positive coverage of Obama."[1]
Writer Eric Alterman has noted that many left-leaning critics[who?] view CNN as more biased than most other corporate-run journalism, supporting business interests of its parent company and sponsors, and refusing to question official sources or present perspectives of leftist critics.[2][need quotation to verify]
Accuracy in Media and Media Research Center (MRC) have claimed that CNN's reporting contains liberal editorializing within news stories as well as omission of important facts.[citation needed] Former Republican House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, and MRC founder Brent Bozell, among others, have referred to CNN as the "Clinton News Network".[3] DeLay has also called it the "Communist News Network".[4] In its early days, CNN was sometimes referred to as "Chicken Noodle News".[5] In September 2009, a Pew Research Poll showed that Democrats were much more likely than Republicans to rate the network favorably, and Republicans were much more likely than Democrats to see CNN unfavorably.[6]
Octavia Nasr firing[edit]
Chief Middle East correspondent Octavia Nasr was fired after a tweet saying she was "Sad to hear of the passing of Sayyed Mohammed Hussein Fadlallah... One of Hezbollah's giants I respect[ed] a lot." Parisa Khosravi, senior vice president of CNN International, said she spoke with Nasr and "we have decided that she will be leaving the company." His reason for her removal was given as "As you know, her tweet over the weekend created a wide reaction. As she has stated in her blog on CNN.com, she fully accepts that she should not have made such a simplistic comment without any context whatsoever. However, at this point, we believe that her credibility in her position as senior editor for Middle Eastern affairs has been compromised going forward."[7]
The pro-Israel media watchdog group Honest Reporting, one of the first organizations to respond to her tweet, noted Fadlallah's controversial praise for the Mercaz HaRav massacre, the 1983 Beirut barracks bombing, the Iran hostage crisis and Iran's efforts to build long-range ballistic missiles. Fadlallah also made statements supporting Holocaust denial and suicide bombing attacks against Israel. Fadlallah was directly responsible for the murder of 260 Americans. In 1995, President Bill Clinton labeled him a terrorist and froze his assets. Fadlallah encouraged suicide bombers and his final words called for the destruction of the state of Israel.
Robert Fisk criticised CNN for the firing saying, "Poor old CNN goes on getting more cowardly by the hour. That's why no one cares about it any more."[8] According to a July 2010 (Iranian-run) Press TV poll, nearly two-thirds (65.99%) of the respondents described CNN's recent move to sack Nasr as "an instance of intellectual terrorism reflecting the influence of Zionists on mainstream Western media outlets".[9]
Rick Sanchez firing[edit]
After Rick Sanchez talked of Jewish ownership of American media outlets, and harshly criticized Jon Stewart during an appearance on a radio show in 2010, CNN announced in a statement that the network had dismissed him: "Rick Sanchez is no longer with the company. We thank Rick for his years of service and wish him well."[10]
Leniency towards the Bush administration[edit]
After 9/11[edit]
Amongst the criticisms levied against CNN, as well as the other major U.S. news channels, is the charge that CNN took a lenient approach to the George W. Bush Presidential administration, particularly after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. At the 2002 Newsworld Asia conference held in Singapore, the executive vice-president and general manager of CNN International, was quoted as saying: "Anyone who claims the US media didn't censor itself is kidding you. It wasn't a matter of government pressure but a reluctance to criticize anything in a war that was obviously supported by the vast majority of the people. And this isn't just a CNN issue – every journalist who was in any way involved in 9/11 is partly responsible."[11][full citation needed]
Invasion of Iraq[edit]
Critics took particularly strong exception to the handling of the Bush administration's rhetoric leading up to the 2003 invasion of Iraq. CNN's then-chief correspondent Christiane Amanpour characterized the behavior of the news media, which she supported and had a major part in it, as "self-muzzling" and as "cheerleaders for the Bush war drive against Iraq".[12] An editorial in the German publication Süddeutsche Zeitung compared CNN's war coverage to "live coverage of the Super Bowl", and the Qatar-based news network Al-Jazeera criticized CNN for portraying U.S. soldiers as heroes.[13]
Israel–Gaza conflict[edit]
During the 2014 Gaza conflict, hundreds of protesters came to the Time Warner Center, where CNN's New York City production facilities and bureau are housed. The protesters accused CNN of anti-Israel media bias, ignoring the Israeli side of the conflict and reporting deceitful stories that favor the Palestinian side.[14] Various people accused CNN of biased coverage during live interviews on the network.[15][16][17]
Assault weapons[edit]
CNN apologized for a May 15, 2003, story in which CNN's John Zarella and Broward County, Florida Sheriff Ken Jenne demonstrated the rapid firing of fully-automatic firearms while covering the federal Assault Weapons Ban, due to expire the following year. The Assault Weapons Ban was concerned solely with semi-automatic firearms, not fully automatic ones, which had already been restricted by the National Firearms Act of 1934, and the subsequent 1986 Firearm Owners Protection Act.[18]
Coverage on international incidents[edit]
Persian Gulf War[edit]
During the Persian Gulf War, CNN was criticized for excessively pushing human interest stories and avoiding depictions of violent images; the result of all this being an alleged 'propagandistic' presentation of news.[19] A report by Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting (FAIR) quotes an unnamed CNN reporter as describing "the 'sweet beautiful sight' of bombers taking off from Saudi Arabia."[20]
Operation Tailwind[edit]
In 1998, CNN, in partnership with corporate sister Time magazine, ran a report that Operation Tailwind in 1970 in Vietnam included use of Sarin gas to kill a group of defectors from the United States military. The Pentagon denied the story. Skeptics deemed it improbable that such an extraordinary and risky atrocity could have gone unnoticed at the height of the Vietnam War's unpopularity. CNN, after a two-week inquiry, issued a retraction.[21] The story's producers were summarily fired, and one of them has been highly critical of CNN's handling of the story, saying that the network bowed to pressure from high-ranking officials to kill the story.[22]
2008 South Ossetian conflict[edit]
During the 2008 South Ossetia War in Georgia, the state-sponsored Russia Today accused CNN of "distorting" its coverage of the conflict by showing photos of destruction in Tskhinvali during a segment about Russian attacks on Gori.[23] CNN defended its general coverage of the war against allegations of bias, but did not address the specific claim.[24]
Coverage of Serbia in 2008[edit]
Controversy was raised on two occasions in 2008 over CNN's inaccurate coverage of the events and individuals in Serbia.
Following the July 2008 arrest of Radovan Karadžić, a former Bosnian Serb leader and war crime suspect who had been on the run for more than a decade, CNN reported on pro-Karadžić protests in Belgrade as well as the protester clashes with the Serb police. However, the actual footage of the Belgrade clash in the report was inter-cut with sequences from the much more violent 2006 Budapest riot in which cars were set on fire and police used water cannons. The network falsely presented the mixed footage as video from the Belgrade protests.[25][26] Media observer reaction to the incorrect footage ranged from opinions that CNN did it on purpose in order to inflate the nationalist threat in Serbia to those who thought that it was an honest mistake.[27]
Later that year in December, CNN again caused controversy in Serbia when in the report about general Ratko Mladić (another Bosnian Serb leader and war crime suspect on the run), the American network wrongly visually identified the general as Serbian opposition leader Tomislav Nikolić from the Serbian Progressive Party (SNS).[28] Though Nikolić initially announced his intention to sue CNN for libel, he eventually decided against it when informed that the process would have to take place in London and would be financially costly.[29]
Chinese unrests in Tibet and Xinjiang[edit]
2008 unrest in Tibet[edit]
During the 2008 unrest in Tibet, Xinhua News Agency[30] and the China Daily newspaper[31] reported that there has been bias in the Western media's coverage of the rioting in Tibet, especially in the captioning and cropping of images, and mis-referencing photos from unrelated instances or other countries. The articles stated that Chinese netizens were angered by what they saw biased and sometimes dishonest reporting by Western media. Chinese bloggers accused CNN's photograph, which showed a crashed car on the left, of not showing Tibetan protesters throwing stones at Chinese trucks. CNN correspondent John Vause, who reported this story, responded that "...technically it was impossible to include the crashed car on the left and the protesters on the right...".[32] CNN later produced a statement regarding their coverage on the rioting, refuting all allegations.[33]
2009 Ürümqi riots[edit]
Similar accusations of media bias occurred with the reporting of the July 2009 Ürümqi riots. Xinhua News accused CNN of taking a biased Uyghur stance and showing sympathy to the rioters to attract the Western reader's attention.[34][35] Commentators have expressed that the inaccuracy in reporting has badly tarnished the reputation of CNN and other Western media in Asian societies.[36]
2010 Thai political protests[edit]
During the 2010 Thai political protests which began with mobile protests and the seizure of the Ratchaprasong commercial area by "Red Shirt" supporters of the National United Front of Democracy Against Dictatorship (UDD), reporters such as Dan Rivers were frequently criticized by members of CNN's own iReport for offering simplistic pro-protester, anti-government coverage.[37] CNN was also criticized for being pro-Thaksin Shinawatra[38] and providing less balanced coverage than other news networks such as Al-Jazeera[39] and the BBC.[40]
Coverage of Iranian protests[edit]
In June 2009, during CNN's coverage of the Iranian election protests, the network used several messages posted on Twitter and attributed them to unnamed "sources." A CNN spokesman said it was a mistake.[41]
Suppression of Bahraini protests, and biased reporting of Iran and Syria[edit]
In October 2011, correspondent Amber Lyon told a European news service that she had been directed by CNN to report selectively, repetitively and falsely in order to sway public opinion in favor of direct American aggression against Iran and Syria,[42] and that this was common practice under CNN. She subsequently reconfirmed this in detail, addressing the degraded state of journalistic ethics in an interview with American radio host Alex Jones,[43] during which she also discussed the Bahraini episode, suggesting paid-for content was also taken from Georgia, Kazakhstan and other states, that the War on Terrorism had also been employed as a pretext to pre-empt substantive investigative journalism within the U.S., and that following the Bahrain reporting, her investigative department had been terminated and "reorganized", and her severance and employee benefits used as a threat to intimidate and attempt to purchase her subsequent silence.
Lyon had met with Tony Maddox, president of CNN International, twice about this issue in 2011 and had claimed that during the second meeting she was threatened and intimated to stop speaking on the matter.[44] Lyon spoke heavily on RT about this – claiming that CNN reporters, headed by Maddox, have been instructed to over-cover Iran as a form of propaganda, and that CNN International had been paid by the Bahraini government to produce and air news segments intentionally painting them in a positive light.[45]
Coverage of Margaret Thatcher's death[edit]
CNN was criticized for using a photograph of former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Margaret Thatcher with disgraced BBC presenter Jimmy Savile four times during coverage of her death on April 8, 2013.[46][47] Allegations of sexual abuse against Saville were made public in 2012, a year after his death, leading UK police to believe that Savile may have been one of Britain's most prolific sex offenders.[48] An image of Thatcher with Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet was also run during the broadcast, leading some commentators to accuse CNN of bias.[49][50]
Eason Jordan[edit]
Admits lobbying and minimizing atrocities[edit]
In April 2003, Eason Jordan, CNN's chief news executive, wrote an op-ed piece in The New York Times stating that he had lobbied the Iraqi government for 12 years in order to maintain a CNN presence in Iraq. He also admitted to withholding what would be considered newsworthy information of the government's atrocities, citing fears that releasing news would potentially endanger the lives of Iraqis working for CNN in Baghdad, some of whom had already been subject to beatings and torture.[51][full citation needed]
Resignation after accusations by blogger[edit]
In February 2005, Jordan resigned from CNN. The resignation came in response to controversy sparked after bloggers wrote that, at the recent World Economic Forum, Jordan had seemed to accuse the U.S. military of having purposely killed journalists. While Jordan acknowledged his remarks were not sufficiently clear, he denied that this was what he had meant to imply, saying that he had "great admiration and respect for the men and women of the U.S. armed forces."[52]
Rick Kaplan[edit]
Rick Kaplan served as president of CNN from 1997 to 2000. Since 1977, Kaplan has been a personal friend of Bill Clinton, who was President of the United States during Kaplan's tenure at the network. According to the Media Research Center, Kaplan's friendship, and political affinity, with Clinton affected the way the network covered the Monica Lewinsky scandal: "As the Lewinsky scandal broke, Kaplan leapt into action at CNN with two-hour specials attacking any and all Clinton critics. The programs included 'Media Madness,' which asked 'what the hell are you people doing' probing Bill Clinton's sex life?; and 'Investigating the Investigator,' which described Ken Starr as 'suspect' over his 'religious and Republican roots.'"[53] Conservative commentator John Fund wrote that "During Mr. Kaplan's CNN tenure, there were no obvious examples of his coming to Mr. Clinton's aid," but that CNN's "executives create a perception problem when they hobnob with politicians."[54]
Jeff Zucker[edit]
CNN was criticized for its coverage of the Boston Marathon bombings, after erroneously reporting that a "dark-skinned male" had been arrested in connection with the attack.[55][56][57] In the aftermath of the broadcast, Jeff Zucker – who was appointed as president of CNN in 2012 – lauded the coverage, claiming that "CNN shined this week",[58] and boasted ratings success that CNN achieved during the coverage, adding that "viewers respected the network's accountability when it admitted its mistakes".[59] Jon Stewart criticized Zucker's comments after calling CNN's coverage of the Washington Navy Yard shooting "breathless wrongness", claiming that "The lesson they take from this is – it doesn't matter how much they betray our trust."[59]
Individual commentators[edit]
Tucker Carlson[edit]
Tucker Carlson co-hosted the short-lived debate show The Spin Room from late 2000 until early 2001. The show was critically panned, with Entertainment Weekly calling it the worst of the CNN lineup and calling Carlson a "bow-tied twit".[60][61] Carlson took to reading his hate mail on the air.[62]
Carlson would later co-host Crossfire with Paul Begala. Jon Stewart appeared on Crossfire on October 15, 2004 and engaged in a heated exchange with Carlson. Stewart criticized the format of Crossfire and the style of arguments presented on the show. He called both hosts "partisan hacks," and asked them to "stop hurting America." Begala argued that the purpose of the show was that it was intended as for debate, to which Stewart responded "To do a debate would be great. But that's like saying Pro Wrestling is a show about athletic competition" and called Carlson's signature bow-tie an example of "theater". At one point Carlson told Stewart "I think you're more fun on your show," Stewart replied by saying: "You know what's interesting though? You're as big a dick on your show as you are on any show." Carlson later told Stewart that "You need to get a job at a journalism school, I think" to which Stewart quipped "You need to go to one."[63][64][65]
Carlson departed CNN in January 2005; the network cancelled Crossfire at that same time.[66] CNN president Jonathan Klein told Carlson on January 4, 2005, that the network had decided not to renew his contract. Klein also stated that "I agree wholeheartedly with Jon Stewart's overall premise."[65][67] Carlson claimed that he had resigned from CNN before Stewart's appearance claiming: "I resigned from Crossfire in April, many months before Jon Stewart came on our show, because I didn't like the partisanship, and I thought in some ways it was kind of a pointless conversation... each side coming out, you know, [raises fists] 'Here's my argument,' and no one listening to anyone else. [CNN] was a frustrating place to work."[60][68] Begala remained with CNN after Crossfire's cancellation.
Glenn Beck[edit]
In January 2006, CNN Headline News president Ken Jautz hired conservative talk radio host Glenn Beck to host a primetime commentary and interview show on the network, which premiered on May 8, 2006. Jautz stated that Beck was "cordial," and that his radio show was "conversational, not confrontational."[69] However, Media Matters for America and FAIR have reported that Beck had a history of making controversial statements on his radio program, including calling former President Jimmy Carter a "waste of skin",[70] hoping for the deaths of Dennis Kucinich and Michael Moore,[71] and telling a caller who claimed to have tortured foreign prisoners for the U.S. military, "I appreciate your service"[72] (Beck left CNN on October 16, 2008 to join Fox News Channel, where he hosted a similar commentary/interview program that ran until 2011).
Wolf Blitzer[edit]
In September 2005, during the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, CNN anchor/correspondent Wolf Blitzer said on-air about those remaining in New Orleans after the storm: "so many of these people, almost all of them that we see, are so poor and they are so black".[73]
Jack Cafferty[edit]
On the April 9, 2008 edition of The Situation Room, Jack Cafferty made this remark during his "Cafferty File" segment:
|Well, I don't know if China is any different, but our relationship with China is certainly different. We're in hock to the Chinese up to our eyeballs because of the war in Iraq, for one thing. They're holding hundreds of billions of dollars worth of our paper. We also are running hundred of billions of dollars worth of trade deficits with them, as we continue to import their junk with the lead paint on them and the poisoned pet food and export, you know, jobs to places where you can pay workers a dollar a month to turn out the stuff that we're buying from Wal-Mart. So I think our relationship with China has certainly changed. I think they're basically the same bunch of goons and thugs they've been for the last 50 years.
China's Foreign Ministry demanded an apology, and lawsuits were filed against Cafferty in Beijing.[74][75] Hundreds of Chinese-Americans held a protest on April 26, 2008 in front of CNN's Atlanta, Georgia headquarters for the anti-China comments.[76]
Lou Dobbs[edit]
In 2000, longtime business correspondent and Moneyline host Lou Dobbs left CNN, reportedly due to heated clashes with the network's president at the time, Rick Kaplan, over programming priorities and questions about Kaplan's political objectivity.[77] Dobbs returned the following year at the behest of CNN founder Ted Turner. From the time he rejoined the network, Dobbs had continuously railed against illegal immigration, offshoring, globalization and free trade in his "War on the Middle Class" and "Broken Borders" segments. Journalist Kurt Andersen in an article in New York criticized CNN for allowing Dobbs' program, "Lou Dobbs Tonight", to become "an amazingly tendentious nightly CNN 'news' program that goes well beyond the line-blurring that Fox [News] pioneered."[78] Dobbs announced his resignation from CNN on November 11, 2009 on what would be his last show for that network. He did not immediately explain the reason for his departure in his sign-off speech, but it was reported that CNN wanted him out and offered him $8 million to leave.[79] Later upon questioning Dobbs discussed his exit, "I tried to accommodate them as best I could, but I've said for many years now that neutrality is not part of my being."[79]
Carol Costello[edit]
On October 22, 2014, CNN Newsroom host Carol Costello reported on the audio release of Bristol Palin being assaulted by a man at a get-together in Alaska. Costello laughed and called it "quite possibly the best minute and a half of audio we've ever come across."[80] She was instantly criticized for making fun of a woman who was being physically abused by a man she didn't know, as well as for being a hypocrite after recently calling for ESPN to suspend Stephen A. Smith afterover comments he made about women during the Ray Rice controversy. Costello eventually apologized in a statement to Politico, stating: "Over the past few days, I have been roundly criticized for joking about a brawl involving the Palin family. In retrospect, I deserve such criticism and would like to apologize."[81] Still, many felt she should apologize on air directly to Palin, which CNN said was not in their plans.[82]
Don Lemon[edit]
After a series of notable incidents over the course of a year, such as questioning whether Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 was swallowed by a black hole, asking an alleged rape victim of Bill Cosby why she did not bite him on the penis to prevent forcible oral sex and stating "Obviously, there's a smell of marijuana in the air" during coverage of the 2014 Ferguson unrest, Columbia Journalism Review named Lemon the "Worst of the Worst" in 2014.[83]
On June 22, 2015, Lemon attempted to spark debate by holding up the Confederate flag and a sign with the N-word in large capital letters while asking, "does this offend you?" He received immediate criticism for the stunt.[84] It also started a series of memes on the internet, which featured the original screen shot of Lemon holding the sign, the headline "Does this Offend You?" and different images or sayings photo-shopped over the sign.[85]
Brooke Baldwin[edit]
During the 2015 Baltimore riots, Brooke Baldwin suggested that veterans were responsible for the unrest, saying soldiers who become police officers "are coming back from war, they don't know the communities, and they're ready to do battle." Baldwin initially pushed back critics, claiming she was just repeating something a city official had told her. She later apologized via Twitter and on-air.[86]
Fredricka Whitfield[edit]
On June 13, 2015, while discussing the 2015 attack on the Dallas police headquarters, host Fredricka Whitfield referred to the gunman, James Boulware, as "courageous and brave, if not crazy". The comment received immediate backlash and calls for her to apologize. The next day, Whitfield stated on air that she misspoke and in no way believed the gunman was courageous or brave, but she stopped short of an actual apology.[87] After the backlash continued, she finally issued a formal on-air apology on June 15, saying she terribly misused those words, now understood how offensive it was and was sincerely sorry. She still stopped short of apologizing directly to the police.[88]
Technical issues[edit]
Obama/Osama name slip[edit]
During the January 1, 2007 edition of The Situation Room, CNN used the name of then-U.S. Senator Barack Obama as a caption on a story about Saudi al-Qaeda founder Osama bin Laden. A promo for an upcoming news feature on the whereabouts of Bin Laden carried the caption "Where's Obama?" over images of the al-Qaeda leader. CNN later apologized for what it described as "a very bad typographical error." Host Wolf Blitzer himself apologized on-air for the slip and planned a call to Obama to offer his personal apology.[89]
Large "X" over Cheney's face[edit]
On November 21, 2005, CNN flashed a large "X" over then-Vice President Dick Cheney's face during a speech that aired live on CNN. The network apologized and said that the "X" appeared due to a technical glitch and no human error was involved. Conservative writer Michelle Malkin, in response to mail from readers with broadcasting experience, wrote that she was convinced it was just a mistake.[90] According to The New York Post, CNN later fired one of its switchboard operators over a telephone call during which the operator "lost his temper and expressed his personal views" of the incident to a caller.[91]
Temporary ban from Iran for mistranslation[edit]
In January 2006, CNN was banned in Iran as an expression of condemnation when the network mistranslated a live broadcast of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. In the translation, CNN quoted Ahmedinejad as saying "the use of nuclear weapons is Iran's right." According to a release from the Iranian government, the president said "Iran has the right to nuclear energy," and went on to say "a civilized nation does not need nuclear weapons, and our nation does not need them." The ban was lifted a day later after CNN issued an official apology for the mistranslation.[92]
Paula Zahn "sexy" promo[edit]
On the weekend before the premiere of American Morning with Paula Zahn in January 2002, CNN aired an advertisement for the morning news program which called Zahn "sexy" and paired the adjective with a "needle pulled off record" sound effect, which some interpreted to be a zipper opening. The advertisement was quickly pulled after the network received significant criticism for what was considered an undignified and sexist portrayal of a serious journalist. CNN attributed the advertisement's content to a lack of oversight and apologized to Zahn.[93][not in citation given]
In November 2007, CNN aired Death Grip: Inside Pro Wrestling, a one-hour investigative documentary on professional wrestling. The report included footage from an interview with pro wrestler John Cena regarding steroids. According to World Wrestling Entertainment and Cena, CNN edited Cena's responses to make it seem as if he did not deny using steroids, while leaving room open for doubt that he did. His answer to the CNN interviewer's initial query of "Have you ever taken steroids?" was, "Absolutely not." Instead, CNN edited in a more detailed answer that Cena had provided several minutes later during the same interview. Cena and the WWE demanded an apology from CNN. In response to their complaint, the network issued this statement: "CNN felt that Mr. Cena's statement in the interview: "My answer to that question 'have you ever used steroids' is – the only thing I can say – I can't tell you that I haven't, but you'll never be able to prove that I have" was a more expansive and complete answer – and that's why we used it in the first run of the program. And we stand by that decision. But, we added the other quote on the Sunday replay where Mr. Cena first denied using steroids. We did this because of his complaint and the attention it received so that viewers could see how he said it both times."[94][95]
Keith Kerr[edit]
On November 28, 2007, Keith Kerr, a retired US Army Colonel and retired Brigadier General of the California State Military Reserve, was selected by CNN to ask a question at the Republican Presidential "YouTube Debate". Five months earlier, Kerr was listed on a Hillary Clinton press release as a member of the Steering Committee of the "LGBT [Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender] Americans For Hillary".[96] Kerr's question generated criticism of CNN for not disclosing Kerr's Clinton ties. CNN said it was unaware of the connection at the time and had paid Kerr's traveling expenses to the debate.[97] Kerr, who is gay, said that his appearance was a personal initiative and not coordinated with the Clinton campaign.[98]
Misrepresentation of Hatebreed[edit]
The metal core band Hatebreed was listed as being a white power band in an article published by CNN.com on August 8, 2012.[99] The band expressed deep displeasure on Twitter. CNN later apologized and removed Hatebreed's name from the piece.[100]
Steubenville High School rape case coverage[edit]
Candy Crowley, Poppy Harlow and Paul Callan were criticized for portraying the two convicted rapists in the Steubenville High School rape case sympathetically and for placing very little focus on the victim on March 17, 2013.[101] During the course of the delinquent verdict, Harlow stated that it was "Incredibly difficult, even for an outsider like me, to watch what happened as these two young men that had such promising futures, star football players, very good students, literally watched as they believed their lives fell apart...when that sentence came down, [Ma'lik] collapsed in the arms of his attorney...He said to him, 'My life is over. No one is going to want me now.'"[102] An online petition garnered over 200,000 signatures protesting the coverage and demanding an apology.[103]
CNN also revealed the name of the 16-year-old victim on March 17 by broadcasting unedited footage of one of the convicted rapists' post-conviction statements. This practice is against the Associated Press guidelines for coverage.[104]
Coverage of the Cleveland kidnapping victims[edit]
On the morning of May 7, 2013, CNN interrupted coverage of the Jodi Arias murder trial with an update of the release of three young women from Cleveland, Ohio who were kidnapped by Ariel Castro between 2002 and 2004. CNN correspondent Ashleigh Banfield appeared to interview HLN host Nancy Grace from a remote location, and it appeared that both were filming from parking lots. The channel graphics later alerted viewers that both reporters were in Phoenix, Arizona. The same cars were noticeable driving behind the two anchors, first behind Banfield and then by Grace. It became obvious that Grace and Banfield were, in fact, sitting in the same parking lot, pretending to be in remote locations when both were actually approximately 30 feet from each other.[105]
Occupy CNN[edit]
On 3 April 2016, hundreds of supporters of Bernie Sanders protested outside of CNN's Headquarters in Los Angeles. Sanders supporters were protesting CNN's coverage of the 2016 United States presidential elections, specifically in regards to the amount of airtime Sanders has received. Known as Occupy CNN, protestors are claiming that major media networks have intentionally blacked out Sanders' presidential campaign in favor of giving much more airtime to candidates such as Donald Trump.[106]
Appearances in fiction[edit]
Some controversy was created by the use of CNN on-air staff for fictionalized reports and broadcasts in the science-fiction movie Contact (1997).[107]

Skip to comments.Palin warns Boehner on debt ceiling
Posted on 07/10/2011 4:36:27 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet
Former Alaska governor Sarah Palin has issued a stern warning to House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) as Boehner sits down with President Obama Sunday night to negotiate a raising of the debt ceiling: don't do it.
Palin, in an interview appearing in Newsweek, made it clear that shes against any deal that raises the debt ceiling and would hold House Speaker John Boehners feet to the fire if he agreed to one according to the magazine.
No, we have to cut spending. It is imperative, and I will be very, very disappointed if Boehner and the leaders of the Republican Party cave on any kind of debt deal in the next couple of months, she said.
Palin last month told Fox News that she would be against any raising of the debt ceiling and favors holding the line and slashing spending across the board instead.
But she acknoweldged that Congress will likely raise the debt ceiling anyway.
Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner again on Sunday said that the U.S. credit rating would suffer if the debt limit is not raised by Aug. 2a prospect that would lead to higher interest rates and lower economic growth.
Only a small minority of Republicans in Congress, such as presidential candidate Rep. Michelle Bachmann (R-Minn.) are taking the just say no approach to the debt ceiling. Most Tea Party-backed members in the House favor tying a raising of the debt ceiling to cuts, spending caps and a balanced budget amendment.
In the Newsweek interview, Palin brags that she could win the White House if she chooses to run for it in 2012.
I hope he LISTENS!!!!
...hope you are doing better, too!
Let's make him cry. Ring his phone off the hook. No new taxes. Hold the line. Return to the 2007 budget levels
She could win...she doesn't cry 1/8 as much as Boehner does.
Sarah may have hurt his feelings.
The House Freshmen and about 1/2 of the more senior caucus knows that if they get blasted by Palin, based on their own constituency, they will not be elected again.
We will NOT have a deal by Aug 2nd unless it's a total and complete cave by the dims.
And, given their own hype, a dedicated GOP can extract just that.
How much do we need to get to Oct 1?
Surely it can't be more than 750 billion.
Why would we EVER agree to 2.5 Trillion?
Spending and borrowing got us into this mess... and they tell us we need to borrow more and spend more to get out of it?
Just damn.
Sarah-gonna-take-Bonehead-to-the-woodshed-if-he-folds-like-a-cheap-tent Ping
Sorry. I love that about Boehner and Beck. ----Matter of fact, that and/or goose bumps when you hear our anthem SHOULD BE A QUALIFIER for cititzenship!
There, I'm climbing down from my soapbox now....
Satah is the Merrill Lynch of the Conservative movement. She doesn't have to yell. She could whisper and everyone would pay attention. This sounds like a thinly disguised warning to me.
To Late! He is welling up as we speak!
That said, if that SOB doesn't stand firm on NO TAXES AND CUT SPENDING... I'll make him cry, myself ;-)
I wonder how much she will raise the first 24 hrs after she announces. Bet it's a record... by a lot.
Madame President weighs in..
LOL, I think you mean E.F. Hutton!
I think that this is why 0bama wants the meeting with Boehner tonight. 0bama knows that if this goes on too much longer, Boehner will continue to hear it from the conservatives. 0bama wants to get a deal with a worn out Boehner tonight...before tomorrow's talk radio shows.
I believe we just heard the next President give her first budget message.
Sarah says jump...Higher!
Sarah's gonna take the entire RINO party to the woodshed.
I bid 2005. And eliminate all Obamacare funding and close EPA.
I'll see your EPA, raise you an Energy and Education. I bid 1980.
"In the Newsweek interview, Palin brags that she could win the White House if she chooses to run for it in 2012."
It's not bragging when your stating a fact. She could not only win but it will be a landslide. I do not know a single Obama voter here in Montana who has anything good to say about this presidency.
Why August 2nd?
Did you know that Ramadan begins August 1, 2011?
Call you and bid the civil rights act.
I love how Newsweek released the article early, so that Boehner would know the contents before his meeting with Obama tonight....
"Madame President weighs in.."
I don't think it's just Boehner that she's warning.
Right you are! I am so embarrassed! I will now go and eat banana splits until it hurts for punishment.
and I was going to raise Affirmative Action. Okay, I'll fold.
Good play I was not bluffing.
This is absurd. It is IMPOSSIBLE for Palin, or anyone else to KNOW who can win what. Right now, Palin has very high negatives and I wouldn't put my money that she can win.
to be truthful, I wasn't bluffing. I am betting you have the better hand.
The punishment has to be worse than the crime. Such as the total abolition of the GOP.
Well I was gonna bet all laws, rule, regulations and agencies, since 1929. Backatcha.
See that bet and raise the 10th Amendment. 1791.
Until we get back to hunting reds in DC, this crap is just bread and circuses.
May we go RINO hunting?

-Peter Baker, ISA Twin Cities Section member
ISA's products and services are organized by technical topic – a selection of technologies, trends, and areas of focus that are relevant to your on-the-job performance:
The Narragansett Bay, located on the north side of Rhode Island Sound, is New England's largest estuary. The Narragansett Bay Commission (NBC) has two wastewater treatment plants, one located at Field's Point, near Providence, R.I., and one approximately 5 miles across the bay at Bucklin Point, R.I. Each plant had a different control system technology and vastly different human-machine interfaces (HMIs).
NBC wanted to change the existing HMI at both plants to a new HMI. NBC first selected the Wonderware application server and the InTouch HMI to be the new standard for the HMI at both plants. Next it publicly requested qualifications and proposals from experienced integrators to implement the conversion.
Optimation, an engineering, design, and fabrication company headquartered in Rochester, N.Y., gathered information regarding the existing system's size, magnitude of reusability for objects and graphics, and similarity in treatment plant processes and screens. The company quoted the project and pursued what it believes is a growing industry sector: distributed control system (DCS) HMI migration.
The challenge was to design a system to replace one manufacturer's HMI product, but be flexible enough to accommodate another product by a different manufacturer as part of the overall scope. During the qualification phase of the selection process, NBC selected the system integrator based on experience with these products.
Additional programmable logic controllers (PLCs) were introduced into the overall system in addition to the existing DCS controllers. The operator only views the system as a singular entity, without the complications of which type of controller is connected to which device. The concept of conversion of screens was the easy part, while the conversion of the different control blocks into a single database for use in the development of input/output (I/O) structures and tag names became the larger task.
For this project, NBC wanted to preserve the plants' existing look and feel but upgrade the graphics, functionality, and accessibility. The original VMS consoles could then be removed as the project progressed. By completion, only the new HMI terminals would remain.
In late 2012, NBC upgraded successfully using an industry-standard HMI software. At that time, all servers were upgraded to run on a 64-bit operating system to use the full potential of installed random access memory. Terminal services were employed via two fault-tolerant servers to provide 20 HMI stations to the operators in the form of thin clients managed by thin-client software. The client selected single- and dual-monitor thin clients.
Blower overview shows information from all controllers.
Because the two physical locations are separated by at least 5 miles of open water, a microwave link using a gigabit Ethernet was used to network the two locations. The system platform architecture includes the following:
The system platform communicates with a variety of PLCs and data sources, including Bailey Infi90 via the Rovisys OPC90 OPC server, the Siemens PCS7 CPUs via the Wonderware S7 I/O driver, GE Powermeters via Modbus TCP DAS servers, Allen-Bradley Compact Logix PLCs via Wonderware ABCIP DAS servers, and the Goldwind Wind Turbine Farm, via an OPC client installed directly on the Goldwind I/O servers. Optimation wrote custom failover code for the Siemens PCS7 PLCs, which tracks the master PLC rack and points all other objects to this rack within 5 seconds of failure.
There were two master HMI templates developed, one for Field's Point and the other for Bucklin Point. Between the two HMI applications, about 100 screens replaced more than 600 configured in the Bailey VMS and PCS7 systems. This reduction in screens, along with a dynamic navigation system, makes any screen accessible in a maximum of two clicks and allows the client to configure additional navigation on the fly.
The Galaxy is host to more than 1,000,000 I/O points distributed over 10,000 objects. Each object is capable of individual configuration via an Excel spreadsheet link that updates in bulk, eliminating the need to configure objects manually. This saves NBC time and money. The plant now operates solely via the new HMIs and benefits from the added functionality and serviceability of a modern HMI.
NBC now has a single database for connectivity to Bailey and Siemens controllers, as well as a similar look and feel of operations between the two plants. NBC also benefits from advanced graphics and technology for expansion, regardless of the control platform used.
G. Duane Grob is the engineering manager of Optimation's Philadelphia office.
Robert F. Stocker is a senior automation engineer at Optimation, a certified member of the Control System Integrators Association. Visit www.optimation.us and www.controlsys.org for more information.

Product Description
From Library Journal
Los Angeles Times writer and photographer Sullivan has assembled a breathtaking compilation of photographs of Oahu's secluded beaches, valleys, waterfalls, and scenic vistas. He took the pictures and wrote the text for this guide, which indicates the exact spot where his pictures were taken using easy-to-read color maps so that amateurs can take a wonderfully centered, picturesque photo. Shopping hounds and serious history buffs won't be interested in this guide, but hikers, biking enthusiasts, photographers, and individuals looking for "hidden Hawaii" will want to take this on their next trip. A similar guide to Maui and Molokai is in the works, to be followed by guides of Kauai and the Big Island. A unique addition to Hawaii's travel guides; recommended for travel and fine arts photography collections.
Kevin M. Roddy, Univ. of Hawai'i at Hilo Lib.
Copyright 1995 Reed Business Information, Inc.
Jeremy Harris, Mayor Of Honolulu: "Driving & Discovering Oahu" captures the timeless essence of our island, from its sheer cliffs, to its secluded valleys, to its cascading waterfalls. The images and text in this guide capture both the spirit and beauty of our land so effectively that it is used by the City of Honolulu's Film office to portray our island's beauty to [film and TV] production companies worldwide."
Chicago Sun Times: "The best [Hawaii] guidebook on the market."
Los Angeles Times: "I'd be surprised if there is a hidden byway or corner of beach or town that Sullivan has not revealed here --even on the leeward side of the island, which remains relatively unknown to visitors."
Honolulu Advertiser: "Driving & Discovering Oahu pin-points the entire island, area by area, map by map. Parts of Oahu neglected in other guidebooks are not neglected here. ...keep a copy of Driving & Discovering Oahu under the front seat..."
Honolulu Star-Bulletin: "Because so many of us tend to take our island for granted, it has taken an L.A.-based author and photographer to paint a flattering portrait of an Oahu locals rarely see as we drive to and from work. The book focuses on natural wonders -- beach parks, camping sites and hiking trails --but you need not be an outdoors type to appreciate the wonders and accessibility of Waimanalo plant nurseries and the barely populated beaches from Mokuleia to Kaena Point. Either way, exploring by eyes or on foot doesn't cost much and we are certainly in need of cheap entertainment these days. You may be surprised that you live in such a beautiful place."
San Diego Union-Tribune: "Visitors contemplating a driving trip around Oahu will greatly enhance the journey by packing along a guidebook, Driving & Discovering Oahu by Richard Sullivan... The text is fresh and insightful and the photo tips are of tremendous value to anyone wondering where to stop for the best views in unfamiliar territory."
Orange County Register(CA): "A must read is Richard Sullivan's Driving & Discovering Oahu, the best guidebook on the market." "...this book provides no-brainer directions to myriad secret spots. The book's coolest feature is its "Photo Finder": Each photo, taken by the author at the spot identified in the text, is numbered, with its location indicated on a corresponding map."
San Jose Mercury (CA) "The best Hawaii guidebook available."
Oregonian(OR): "Now, all of Hawaii is available to visitors -- the deserted beaches, the hidden waterfalls, the sights and sounds of the real Hawaii. And Richard Sullivan has just made it easier to know where to go to see all this." -- ReviewsSee all Product Description

I recommend this as part of your travel kit for Oahu. Most guides are too general to Hawaii or too specific to Honolulu, but this one focuses so nicely on the entire island of Oahu and the highlights! It was also nice to use when we decided to have Hawaii movie night since the book notes where movies were filmed.

Great recipe! Highly recommend. Glad I read the reviews beforehand and cut the salt to 1 tsp, though I added a 1/4 tsp at the end. I also used a 3 1/4 lb pork butt, and it still took about 80 min to become fork tender but then only about 10 min to absorb the remaining liquid and brown. I also used Trader Joes's lager.
This is our favorite carnitas recipe and can rival anything in a restaurant, BUT it is essential to cut the salt by at least 1/2. And, mine did take forever to cook down, so I don't add as much water.
Good advice to cut the salt in half. This was easy and makes a lot, so you can freeze half. Great with cheese, black beans, and tortillas or rice.
This was delicious! I was a little worried after reading some other recipes to compare on my way home from the store and seeing that most leave the meat in the pressure cooker for a lot longer than this one takes in a normal pot. But it was too late: The guests were coming in two hours so it had to work. And it did! The meat fell apart beautifully, the taste was strong, albeit a bit salty. I might reduce the salt just by a bit. But the beer (I used a flavorful Austrian one because that's what I had on hand) made it beautifully bitter and sweet at the same time. My only real problem was that the liquid would not evaporate. After cooking it uncovered for 35minutes I had to think quick: I poured off the liquid and browned and tore the pork, then added the cooking liquid instead of the called for cup of water. Granted: That may be part of why it was salty.
Recipe was easy and very flavorful. Happy Cinco!
Excellent recipe. To make it even easier, I braised my pork shoulder in the crockpot all day. Then I shredded the pork, transferred it and a half cup of the cooking liquid to a roasting pan, and roasted it at 450°F for 20 minutes. The result is tender, flavorful pork that isn't soggy. Perfect plain with tortillas and guacamole, or as a topping on salads/nachos.
This is excellent. It is very simple and makes a lot. I use the amount of salt called for, and have not found it to be too salty. It makes great tacos and the leftovers make great nachos.
My family loved this--it was great on nachos and rolled up in tortillas with avocado, beans and cheese--but the other reviewers are absolutely right about the salt. It's way too much. Start with half and you can always add more later if you need more flavor. This is great for serving a crowd.
We follow the recipe and it's delicious EVERY time we make it. We usually use it for carnitas quesadillas (with a chipotle mango salsa)... Leftovers go towards omelets and our Sunday night pizza.
Great recipe. I agree with other reviews regarding the salt, a pinch is more than enough. Will definitely make again.

My Spitfire factory bachelor pad: Two-bedroom London flat in former fighter jet factory on sale for £925,000
- Four-floor lat is located in World War II factory that made Spitfires
- The two-bedroom apartment is on the market for £925,000
- Designed by MI6 building architect Sir Terry Farrell
It's an important moment in any courtship – when a woman first claps eyes on her boyfriend's bachelor pad. Will it be clean and tidy? Will it be decorated with any semblance of taste?
Daisy Uribe-Mosquera needn't have worried when she set foot inside her future husband Philip's flat for the first time. With its stylish vaulted ceilings and vast kitchen/living room, Daisy, 34, a marketing executive at auctioneers Sotheby's, couldn't have failed to be impressed.
Banker Philip, 30, might also have pointed out that the flat played a role in the Second World War. It is on the fourth floor of a former factory called the Old Aeroworks, in St John's Wood, North London, that used to make parts for Spitfire fighters and Lancaster bombers.
Ultimate bachelor pad: The two-bedroom London apartment is on the market for £925,000
What's more, the building was converted into a residential block by architect Sir Terry Farrell – who designed London's MI6 building on the Thames at Vauxhall Cross. He was so pleased with the Old Aeroworks that he now lives in another of the apartments.
The couple are reluctantly selling Philip's ultimate bachelor pad for £925,000 as they want a family-orientated home.
The Old Aeroworks was built in the 1920s and was one of the first all-concrete buildings in Britain. It was originally owned by Bovis Homes and used to construct whole houses via timber transported along the nearby Grand Union Canal.
When the Blitz began in 1940, the Government requisitioned the building to house the Palmer Tyre Company's aeroworks, which was producing parts for RAF warplanes in the heavily targeted London Docks.
Classic work: The Old Aeroworks was built in the 1920s and designed by MI6 building architect Sir Terry Farrell
Spacious: The master bedroom in the flat in North London's St John's Wood
War jet: The former factory in St John¿s Wood, North London, used to make parts for Spitfire fighters (pictured) and Lancaster bombers
Since the surroundings were residential rather than industrial, it was less likely to be a priority target for German bombers.
Braking systems, tyres, wheels and gun turrets were made in the factory but, owing to the secrecy of the operation, the workers were never told what they were going to be used for.
Anyone passing the building today would be left in no doubt about what was once going on inside this Art Deco block. There are seven Spitfire models on the roof and a plaque to commemorate the Palmer Tyre Company's production of the legendary fighter.
Sir Terry Farrell is a particular fan of the Spitfire, saying it inspired him as a design icon. 'The Spitfire continually evolved throughout the war,' he has said.
'By 1945 it was 30 to 40 per cent faster than at the beginning. That strikes a chord with my approach to architecture – evolving and innovating, but remaining true to the original spirit.'
Nothing could demonstrate this more than the Old Aeroworks itself and Daisy and Philip's two-bedroom flat.
Moving out: Daisy Uribe-Mosquera, 34, and her future husband Philip, 30, are selling the flat to more to a more 'family orientated' home
The design exploits the building's generous dimensions – the rooms are airy and spacious and feature a uniform style of clean lines and white finishes. The couple agree that Daisy merely 'softened a few edges' when she moved in.
'As a space to live in, the flat couldn't work better – there are two evenly sized bedrooms and a great area for lounging or eating in,' says Philip. 'The spare room's great for extra rent if you need it, or for a child or just somewhere for your other half to keep her clothes.'
The couple will particularly miss the area, which is not renowned for family-size houses but is cosmopolitan – it's a stone's throw from the Edgware Road with its Arabic restaurants. It's also very convenient for the centre of London, and Philip and Daisy say they love having the canal and Regent's Park so close.
Rose Holden, sales manager at Marsh & Parsons' Little Venice branch, said: 'This apartment represents industrial chic at its very best.
'It is just so characterful and would be an ideal space for an individual who likes something that is very much out of the ordinary.
'The space has so much recent history that it must be unique among London's housing stock, and the fact that it is home to one of London's leading contemporary architects adds huge interest.'

Three Amigos Chili
Total Time
Prep 5 mins
Cook 30 mins
This is a recipe given to me from a friend, that came out of "The Abs Diet, Eat Right Every Time Guide." It is a "One-Pot Dish." And it says "Powerfoods: 5"...whatever that means. *shrug* I don't use the jalapeno tomatoes it calls for, since we don't like spicey. I just use regular tomatoes. Super easy and super yum!
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 lb ground turkey breast
- 1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes with jalapenos
- 1 (10 1/2 ounce) can garbanzo beans, drained
- 1 (10 1/2 ounce) can black beans, drained
- 1 (10 1/2 ounce) can kidney beans, drained
- 1 (14 ounce) can low sodium chicken broth
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄4 teaspoon cumin
- 1⁄8 teaspoon cinnamon
- hot sauce
- Heat oil on medium-low. Add onion and saute until soft (about 3-5min). Add turkey and brown (about 5min). Add tomatoes with juice, beans, broth, and spices. Stir and bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer 20min.

Really quick recipe for after work. Although it was ready in 25 minutes, it took longer for the flavors to fully develop.
One of my favorites, First found this on Men's Health website, a recipe from the Abs diet. This is a make ahead dish at our house. I add a can of diced green chillies for a little extra heat and double the recipe, great for the busy house.
This is an excellent recipe! I actually just had it for lunch. If you would like to know more about power foods I suggest you read the Abs Diet book or Abs Diet for Women. You can also visit http://www.menshealth.com/nutrition/nutritious-powerfoods-abs-diet to learn more about power foods. As far as suggestions for this recipe go- we added some chili seasoning and it turned out GREAT! Even the kids liked it. We tripled the recipe and I'm glad we did because it's just that good!
