Embarrassed (or should be) GOP Lawmaker Wants To Shutter CNN

Lawmaker Outraged by Sniper Footage on CNN: "CNN has become 'the publicist for an enemy propaganda film' by broadcasting a video showing an insurgent sniper in Iraq apparently killing an American soldier, the chairman of the House Armed Services Committee said here Friday.

Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-El Cajon) called for the Pentagon to oust any CNN reporter embedded with U.S. troops in Iraq.

'I think Americans like to think we're all in this together,' Hunter said. 'The average American Marine or soldier has concluded after seeing that film that CNN is not on their side.'

CNN said it broadcast the brief video to show the threat that insurgent snipers posed to U.S. troops.

'Whether or not you agree with us in this case, our goal, as always, is to present the unvarnished truth as best we can,' CNN producer David Doss wrote in a blog on the network's website."

"But if you see the sniper footage," says the unexamined nutcase, "you'd see Americans losing!!" I don't know about that, but it sure shows Americans hurting without halt while we at home look on as Cheney goes hunting, while Condi reads the music and plays her part, and while we carry on as best we can, unable to not watch the Chimp cacklin' as our culture floats out to sea.
