Not on that story. And overall no I don't think they put spin
on there news. Not saying some there shows don't either, such as Lou
Dobbs, now that is pure spin. Same goes for there talking heads.
Guess you missed the report a while back where CNN admitted to
withholding news...
Not reporting something is not putting spin on it, now is it.
You're right it isn't. But not reporting a story could be worse than
putting a spin on a story. One supplies biased information while the
other provides no information. I suppose it depends upon how one
perceives the importance of knowing about a particular issue.

I am sure you are talking about Iraq when CNN was the only
news agency in the country.

I was talking in generality,

Prove it.

however, when CNN was reporting Iraqi news,
how would you know CNN wasn't reporting only what CNN wanted to report.


Since it came out that's what they were doing to stay in Iraq.

Same could be said of you, how would you know CNN isn't reporting what
CNN wanted to report. Besides all news agencies do that, they
proitize what to report and what not to report.
