Chomsky is a long exposed commie liar, and if CNN was not
commie enough for him, that is because Stalin was not commie
enough for him.
Turner, like many rich and powerful people, is a socialist.
Only to be expected, since socialism ties the peasant to the
land, and the laborer to the bench. Before the recent
sudden conversion to patriotism, CNN frequently issued stale
old 1980s communist propaganda, a notorious example being the
"Tailwind scandal". CNN investigators persuaded themselves
that the US government had used nerve gas in the Vietnam war,
on the basis of some evidence that no one was likely to
believe, and few were likely to understand or care to listen
to. So to improve the story, they fabricated some evidence.
They interviewed various people, and by creative editing of
the interviews, created the appearance of those people
admitting to nerve gassing civilians, when no such admission
appears in the full transcript.
For example the viewer sees CBU-15 described as nerve gas.
The viewer then sees Moorer and the interviewer talking about
a battle in Laos, then there is an editing cut, and then the
viewer sees:
: : Q: So isn't it fair to say in light of all this . . .
: : that Tailwind proved that CBU-15, GB, is an effective
: : weapon?
: :
: : A: Yes, I think, but I think that was already known.
The viewer naturally assumes that "all this" was the battle
in Laos.
Actually the big lie,or possibly the big error underlying the
story was that CBU-15 was nerve gas -- actually it was tear
gas, but since discussion of military designations is boring
and complicated, they blew all that complicated stuff off,
and went with wholly fabricated evidence, rather than feeble
but factual evidence.
