Peter Arnett -- Treason against the U.S. broadcast on Iraqi TV

[Blackhawk]

About 30 minutes ago, I saw John Gibson break a story about Peter Arnett (infamous Tailwind reporter on CNN) giving an interview to the Iraqi Information Ministry broadcast on Iraqi TV about how HIS reporting has helped foment American opposition to the Iraqi war. Then Arnett flat out said that the US war plan has failed and that a new plan is being put into effect.

Arnett works for National Geographic Explorer and appears on MSNBC. He has amazing access within Iraq at a time when Fox News and CNN have been kicked out by the Iraqi government.

In case anybody doubted that Arnett is a traitor to the U.S., all you need to do is see that report on Fox News.

MSNBC has again been put on my boycott list....

 

[Thumper]

Yep, more of that conservative, right wing media I keep hearing about.

I hope this gets wide distribution.

 

[SodaPop]

Where is George Washington when you need him? He had a pretty good way of dealing with traitors.

 

[cuchulainn]

Disgusting, but is Arnett a U.S. citizen?

 

[Blackhawk]

I'm still livid about Arnett's treachery in the Tailwind story he did on CNN. He's been on the same traitor list with Jane Fonda and Ramsey Clark since then.

 

[SIC TRANSIT GLORIA MUNDI]

Yes, I believe so. Giving aid and comfort to the enemy is definitely treason.

 

[Blackhawk]

Rita Cosby just said he was an "American journalist."

 

[Tag]

I just saw this report on FNC.

he was too emphatical in his statements for it to be anything but his own twised version of the truth. :banghead:

If nothing else this war is allowing everyone to show their TRUE colors, make mine red white and blue.

out

 

[agricola]

this would be the Fox News that is the staunch defender of the truth?

From what I understand, they've got this bucket of pus on tape.

Kodak doesn't lie

 

[SIC TRANSIT GLORIA MUNDI]

The source of the report makes no difference when you see and hear the words coming out of the man's mouth. Arnett ought to be charged with treason. Whether anyone has the balls to pursue it remains to be seen. I'll bet no one does anything about it.

 

[Blackhawk]

Iraqi TV, MSNBC, and NBC with Arnett having roots in CNN, agricola.

Fox News is just reporting it.

 

[El Tejon]

Ag, sure, just like 60 Minutes did to Sharon. He didn't make out either.

They are showing video of it. Maybe FNC is faking the video like NBC did with those truck crashes? This looks like it would be hard to photo shoppe though.

Arnett is either off his rocker or had a pistol to his ear. I'm willing to believe either.

 

[Blackhawk]

NBC says Arnett gave the interview to Iraqi TV as "a professional courtesy."

That's why lawyers don't have to worry about sharks attacking them.

Kodak doesn't lie

If you honestly believe that I've got a bridge in NYC for sale.

I work for a catalog company and edit photos for a living ... I can make that Kodak lie very easily.


As to the Arnett thing ... unless there was a guy off camera with a Kalashnikov pointed at him (and there very well may have been) I'd say he's crossed the treason line ... but so did Jane Fonda and she's still walking around .

 

[Thumper]

I work for a catalog company and edit photos for a living ... I can make that Kodak lie very easily.

You obviously got my point...are you simply being argumentative, Zund?

 

[Zundfolge]

Maybe I missed your point.

Where you being serious with your Kodak doesn't lie statement? or was that sarcasm? (if it was the latter, then I missed your point)

 

[Thumper]

Perhaps I should have been more specific:

In this particular instance, I believe it highly unlikely that FoxNews knowingly manipulated their taped report depicting Peter Arnette conducting what I consider to be acts of treason.

There.

You don't think photo manipulation is some arcane secret known only in the catalog industry, do you?



Just playin'...I should have explained myself. "Kodak doesn't lie" just had this ring, ya know?

 

[Zander]

No one who has the slightest knowledge of Arnett's sordid anti-American record should be suprised in the least by his traitorous remarks.

And yes, I do believe he's a traitor...his actions meet the classic definition as defined by the Constitution. I'd like to think that, once and for all, his career as a "journalist" is over.

However, as long as his fellow America-haters are willing to employ him and his attendant propaganda-pieces under color of the First Amendment, he'll get a paycheck and a pass.

I wouldn't want to be in-country and in his shoes...

"Maybe FNC is faking the video like NBC did with those truck crashes?"

Or maybe like 60 Minutes' segment on Audi's 'Sudden Acceleration'.

 

[grampster]

hksw,
I don't remember what 60 minutes had to say about Audi's sudden acceleration, but I bought an Audi 5000, brand new, in '78. My wife put the car in reverse one afternoon when it was about a year old and it took off like a rocket out of the garage. she applied the brake with both feet and the car continued to accelerate. I was in the co pilots seat and reached over and turned off the key before getting to the street. Her foot was not on the gas, which is what Audi tried to say, as she had them both planted firmly on the brake. When the car stopped, I looked down and observed that for myself. Vehicle never did it again, though.

 

[Waitone]

Peterr's anti-Americanism goes all the way back to Vietnam. The guy is a charter member of "Hate America First".

[Gary H]

Puts MSNBC is a tough spot.

 

[dev_null]

What was that about "aid and comfort to the enemy" ...? I'd say he merits the Jane Fonda Patriotism Award.
