CNN is just pissed, because they got suckered.

Keep in mind, purported news organization Fox has a direct link at the very top of their homepage to FoxNation.com, a site which can really only be described as pure right-wing propaganda.

“saying Harrigan is a correspondent “who very rarely leaves his hotel.”

LOL…what a burn on Harrigan!!

Convenient how Fox they left out the fact that one of their own cameramen was a “human shield” too. More pathetic Fox lies.

CNN would never be used as shields for Quaddafi; they would be invited guests.

Yeah, this guy was used as Gaddafi”s bitch. It’s written all over his face and ass…LOL

Robertson said that while Fox News reported that its journalists skipped the “propaganda trip” Sunday night, the network did send someone with a camera. “He, this member of this Fox team was surprised that he was being sent,” said Robertson.”

Uh, no. Steve Harrigan was reporting shortly after the strike that a Fox producer was on scene, and that he suspected it might have been staged. They absolutely did not say they didn’t have anyone there.

“And the idea that we were some kind of human shields is nuts.”

How does Robertson know this? How does he know what the Brits knew about who was where and whether a strike was called off because of it?

BTW, Fox is currently reporting Robertson’s objections. Shep and Jennifer Griffin. Griffin is repeating and expanding on the report, saying that the British had Tornado jets loaded with Stormchaser missiles that were going to hit the compound again until they realized the Journos were there.

Of course it’s outrageous.

We all know they did it WILLINGLY!

Fox got its information on British sources. If Nic Robertson thinks they didn’t, he should provide his evidence. Has Nic checked with everybody in the British government? Does he know what Steve Harrigan does on the phone in his hotel room? Until then, pardon me while I yawn at one more example of cable news networks showing their envy of their more successful competitor.

lol…again proof fox does not do REAL news…they watch and learn from real journalists, then put their own spin on things and send it out for a certain segment of the population to swallow unquestioningly

Shouldn’t he be mad at the “British Officials” , since that’s where the info came from? Man, you libs are scared to death of FOX!

I just want to know how Nic knows they weren’t used? He has no clue what ulterior motives the Libyan Government had by taking them there. All he knows was he got to go see a bombed compound which if not taken he would have never been allowed near. He can’t for sure say that he and the others were not used.

Saying that I will say FOX was wrong here but let’s be VERY clear, CNN is in NO WAY innocent. They manipulate stories all of the time by leaving out tidbits to make it fit their agenda. And yes, they do have an agenda just like any other channel. They all manipulate stories, FOX got caught this go round.

There is no excuse for any news organization to manipulate the facts about any story. I will be interested to hear how Fox defends itself.

Having said that, Robertson and the other journalists who were “invited” to tour the compound may not have been held hostage, but they certainly were used for propaganda purposes.

If Libya was using human shields they were the worst human shields ever because they still got the shit bombed out of their compound.

BFD said:

You’re gonna need to explain that one, BFD. She specifically implied that they didn’t send a producer? By not saying it?

What this looks like to me is that while Nic was taking the Gaddafi sponsored tour, Fox was chasing down the story. Yep, they grabbed somebody with a camera and threw on the bus to go take some pictures, but Harrigan was doing something else at the time. Wishing he were Nic Robertson, I bet. Which is weird, given that he left CNN 10 years ago to work for Fox.

It sounds like there’s some bad blood between these two guys. Injecting it into the coverage is unprofessional. Nic Robertson used to be better than that. Maybe he’s just having a bad day.

They thwarted the second attack on the compound, not the first. Do try to keep up.

libra blue said:

That all depends on how the reporters reported their stories. If they were not sympathetic to Ghaddafi than they were not used for propaganda.

And there is a big difference between being used for attempted propaganda and for human shields, a difference Fox obviously does not care lying about.

Blue Bonnet says:

Nope just you. See Iris was about as subhuman of a person as BFD. When the shooting in Tucson happened she claimed she was turning over a new, civil leaf and begged us all to join her. Then about a day later, she was MIA and you appeared acting just like she did. That personality (or lack thereof) is impossible to hide.

Would that be the same Nic Robertson was led around by Hezbollah a few years ago like a puppet touting in his faggy accent “Gee Wolf….there doesn’t seem to be any weapons here” while Hezbollah was directing his camera crew.

Back on July 18, Hezbollah took Robertson and his crew on a tour of a heavily damaged south Beirut neighborhood. The Hezbollah “press officer” even instructed the CNN camera: “Just look. Shoot. Look at this building. Is it a military base? Is it a military base, or just civilians living in this building?”

He was a total propaganda tool and he works for the network that was covering for Saddam Hussein in return for gaining access in Iraq before the war.

By EASON JORDAN (Eason Jordan is chief news executive at CNN.)
New York Times

ATLANTA– Over the last dozen years I made 13 trips to Baghdad to lobby the government to keep CNN’s Baghdad bureau open and to arrange
interviews with Iraqi leaders. Each time I visited, I became more distressed by what I saw and heard, awful things that could not be reported because doing so would have jeopardized the lives of Iraqis, particularly those on our Baghdad staff.

Just because little Nic didn’t know he was being used...again …that doesn’t mean he wasn’t.
The strikes were in fact called off because of his and other journalists presence.
That is the very definition of a human shield.

Obomber bombed the b’jeezus out of gaddaffis compound, but, remember, gaddaffi is NOT the target.

Obamas own words. Funny stuff.

Actually, the problem with dipshits is that they immediately dismiss information, instead of wisely issuing statements saying that they will investigate a report in order to ascertain it’s validity.

Their British source isn’t saying “may”, he’s telling them that the presence of those journos, put there by Gaddaffi’s government, prevented an attack on the compound. Is that a maybe or a fact?

As opposed to being squired around by the Libyan government as a vehicle for Gaddafi’s “pre-conceived narrative”.

Sounds like CNN is once again making news instead of reporting it.

The reporters weren’t there long enough to have been used as human shields (unless Gaddafi had some incredibly primo, time-specific intel that they’d be bombed again and only within that less-than-an-hour period, which I highly doubt.)

Were they called there for purposes of propaganda? Without a doubt. The Gaddafi regime doesn’t invite journalists anywhere for any reason other than propaganda. However, excepting government-run state TV, reporters I’ve seen during this uprising (as well as during Egyptian revolution) clearly let you know that’s what’s going on and give counter-balance to those state-run “news” agencies.

In order to be “human shields” they needed to have been deliberately placed there to thwart attack.

Why can’t you teabloggers get it through your thick skulls that being in the wrong place at the wrong time does not make a “Human shield for Ghaddafi”?
Words have meanings and it is simply wrong to call them human shields w/o proof they were deliberately placed there because Ghaddaffi somehow knew an attack was imminent at that time but a short time later he felt safe enough to let them go.

It is ludicrous.

Interesting. Fox-news “hard on for American war” influences their coverage probably.

So CNN is upset they got outscooped and Robertson is slighted because he was used, I only wonder how MSNBC will report on this since there news tends to be only about Fox.

I can only guess at how the Brits knew, Pablo. Either one of the news orgs had the good sense to let allied command & control know they were there (if not CNN, maybe the Reuters crew or some of the others) or a fly-over or some other intel might have revealed a large group of people there (both media and citizens).

I didn’t mention this in earlier post, but I was very fearful as I watched the live reports the other night that rather than using reporters/civilians as human shields, the regime may have actually hoped for a strike while those people were there. Can you imagine the propaganda jackpot for them if that were to happen? But because they were there such a short time, doesn’t seem the intention (although I’m sure it’d have been a “happy” coincidence for them if that were to have happened).

Pokerdude777 said:

It’s never happened to me. Bluegummer and nocho are proven liars, so, I wouldn’t believe anything they say. Most likely a glitch on your pc.

I try to get a balanced media diet, and try not to be a tool to corporate media. I have not see this claim by fox yet and agree its quite a gaff, and problematic reporting; but this seems to be hypocritical as well. Since I watch a variety of coverage I see fox’s reporters in the field all the time. Places other reporters seem reluctant to go. He’s talking about disingenuous reporting while claiming that their reporters(or a single one) eat breakfast all day. How can he see them eating breakfast all day unless he is there with them? He referred to one reporter when they have a variety of them over there. It seems like they are just jumping in the competitor bashing game and responding to false claims with false claims.

Also in this vid he criticizes fox for not sending their top guys to government sponsored events. So they are not reporting what Gadaffi wants them to report? Journalists should be going out there finding the story not getting bussed around by dictators showing what they regime wants them to show. They should still report it and show both of course. This was a big mistake on fox’s part(though I have yet to see the article or clip and it doesn’t seem to have been cited by cnn); but it seems they are doing the same thing they are criticizing. Things he is claiming don’t seem to add up quite frankly when they have at least a half dozen reporters in the field. Not one. The criticism of reporters not being bussed by the regime like groupies while they are obviously getting footage of the country that anyone can see if they simply look for, seems like a weak criticism

This is too Funny watching the RANK HYPOCRISY of the Progressive Left falling over themselves finding a reason to defend Obama, when they’d be LYNCHING Bush by now!!!!!

hanoisteve said:

Whether the FNC team stayed at the hotel or not… (that a claim made by Robertson), they did issue a report referencing military plans by our British air forces partners and purported actions taken by the Libyan govt.

They “saw” something.

And no, being an embed with American troops on the battlefield is NOT the same as being squired around by a dictator.

btimsah said:
Interesting. Fox-news “hard on for American war” influences their coverage probably.

CNN and MSNBC had a ‘hard-on for (now-illegal) ObamaCare,’ so what’s your point?

As war correspondents, reporters know, as does the Ministry of Information and anyone with half a brain, what’s entailed in a bombing campaign. Bomb, assess battle damage, bomb again. The entire press corp was given the opportunity to visit the site. Few did because they came to the conclusion they’d interfere with operations or endanger themselves. Reporters often discuss the balance they have to strike in how much they’re willing to play into the hands of the ‘Ministry of Information’ to get a story. For most, it seems, the story didn’t rise to that level of importance. It wasn’t a baby food factory the west was claiming was a bomb factory; it was a hole in the ground.

So, much grandstanding at the expense of their competitor, though it’s bit of an embarrassment for Fox to have sent their own cameraman to be a human shield (a characterization most likely derived from the British source). Still, Robertson used airtime to take a kick at the on-scene correspondent for Fox, Steve Harrington, once a reporter for CNN, for a story developed half a world away. That was a classless move, no matter how much ire he was feigning for being exposed to the obvious criticism.

BTW, CNN themselves reported that when Qaddafi allowed ‘the people’ into his palaces, out of the goodness of his heart, they were serving as human shields. Evidently that editorial bar of who ‘human shields’ are becomes more malleable when their own reporting team becomes a part of the story.

Mr. Lockerbie bombings should get a bombing. Loud and clear.

Mission aborted on orders of SAS: RAF attack is halted after troops spot human shields

The RAF was just moments away from obliterating civilians being used as unwitting human shields by Colonel Gaddafi when SAS ‘spotters’ aborted the mission.

Tornado GR4 fighter jets were closing in on Gaddafi’s presidential compound when the covert troops saw a group of people, including journalists reported to be from CNN and Reuters.

The air raid was following up a Tomahawk cruise missile strike launched against the compound by a British submarine.

But Gaddafi’s henchmen had driven foreign journalists to see the damage and would have been fully aware that the area was still under threat.

Had the warplanes launched their fearsome barrage of 1.3-ton Storm Shadow missiles, many could have died.

Since when are they not? Democratic priorities and ethics would have us in war in 50 countries at a time – our conflicts are usually begun under their auspices . Bush’s war of choice in Iraq was actually a deviation from the norm and partial proof of his progressive proclivities.

If we should be in this war, it should be to put Qaddafi, former terrorist, traditional enemy of the west and killer of his own citizens, in a box or out altogether and to secure the flow of oil while actually putting the Arab League’s face on it. They asked for it, after all; we should hold them out front and not let them scramble under their desks at the first civilian casualty.

Hell it wasn’t just CNN they called out here. They quote the British, and Nic, put a sock in it already, I watched that segment and the Ministry guy spewed off as if he was channeling Quackdafy for 10 minutes while you climbed into holes and held up rocks. Get a grip hack.

That’s not the argument we’re offering. In fact, I have yet to offer an argument (sans “stupid” comment, however that can hardly be labeled as an “argument”). You, on the other hand, have made two egregious claims and have yet to substantiate them.

You can believe that “Fox Lies” as much as you’d like; don’t, however, get offended when someone dares to call you out on that belief.

Fox News was telling the truth!

The RAF was just moments away from obliterating civilians being used as unwitting human shields by Colonel Gaddafi when SAS ‘spotters’ aborted the mission.

Tornado GR4 fighter jets were closing in on Gaddafi’s presidential compound when the covert troops saw a group of people, including journalists reported to be from CNN and Reuters.

The air raid was following up a Tomahawk cruise missile strike launched against the compound by a British submarine.

TheRealTruth said:

That article doesn’t prove that it was because of the presence of a handful of journalists that the mission was called off, nor does it disprove that a Fox News technician was present with the other journalists.

So, NO, nothing was debunked by that article.

Jennifer Griffin walked back part of her reportage on Greta…LOL. I expect the rest in a few days when she continues to find her facts.

AGREE! THEY HAVE THEIR LEMMING WELL TRAINED!

Here’s the lie in plain black and white for all you stupid bastards who believed FOX…

Jennifer Griffin: “Earlier I reported that Fox news had not gone to Ghaddafi’s compound while I reported CNN and Reuters had in fact gone.
I’ve have since learned that Fox did indeed go.”

Meaning of course, that everything they accuse Reuters and CNN of they are in fact guilty of themselves.

TRUTH = 1
FOX = 0

BTW, little Jenny Griffin also changed her reason why Harrigan didn’t go along, from “They were concerned they could be used as human shields” to “He wanted to stay on air to provide full coverage”.

So many Fox lies, so little time…

It must be funny when Harrigan walks through the hotel lobby and all the real journalists snicker at him being called a hotel-room reporter in front of the whole wide world.

Priceless.

Not to mention the fact that the journalists were only there for 20 minutes.

*Voice of Comic Book Guy*

“Quickest. Human-shields. Ever.” lolol

His concession, days later: “OK, it’s not a spring break that he’s on down there, it is an important meeting with the leaders down there to drum up jobs.”

That is all. For now..

A virtual cornucopia of lies.

He is surprised that a news organisation would lie, he doesn’t expect it from them, but from a dictator. Well, he is naive, I expect this from Fox, and they haven’t disappointed me.

Walked back part of her reportage ? She just clarified that there was a Fox guy there that she did not know about Her main point about human shields was stated again. And the only facts to expect in the next few days are libs once again jumping to conclusions before all the facts are in.

Deborah Haynes reported today from Tripoli for The Times (paywall) that she and other foreign media “effectively became temporary human shields on Sunday night when we agreed to be bussed in by officials to Colonel Gaddafi’s main compound in Tripoli to visit the site of an allied missile attack”.

She added that the presence of journalists and other civilians so close to the target area prompted the Ministry of Defence to order fighter-bombers to abort a mission to hit the compound.

No one is disputing that.
What they are denying is that Ghaddafi deliberately used these journalists in such a manner, which is ludicrous.
They were there for 20 minutes and then got the bums rush from Libyan officials to get back on the bus and leave the compound asap. Not the behavior of someone who wanted shields.

There is a huge difference between temporarily and unknowingly shielding an attack by being in the wrong place at the wrong time and DELIBERATELY being USED by Ghaddafi in this manner which is what FOX reported without any proof at all.

sponge bob said:

How asinine of her to blame CNN and Reuters for being used as human shields w/o checking first if Fox had personnel there.
Liar or insanely bad reporter?

You be the judge.

By definition you cant accidentally become a human shield. It has to be deliberate.

It’s nuts to think Ghaddafi was intentionally using human shields for 20 minutes for an attack he knew nothing about.
That’s the kind of conspiracy you could only get from someone like Glenn Beck, who must be rubbing off on Fox reporters.

So let me get this straight, you think it would be “Nuts” and “ludicrous” for the likes of a Ghaddafi to possibly use human shields? Hmm, i’m thinking most of the world would expect a move like that from a creep like that. But I guess any possible chance to take a shot at Fox would trump common sense.

Steve_27 said:

No, and I never said that. Of course he would.
I’m saying in this instance, for the span of 20 minutes when he obviously just wanted to show journalists he was being targeted by UN forces, that it is preposterous. Especially when Libyan officials kept the visit to the compound to a bare minimum and rushed them back on the bus. They were there for propaganda, not to be used as shields.

I am saying FOX has no proof they were intentionally used as human shields for the paltry sum of 20 minutes and I am also saying they deceived and mislead their viewers about the role they had in attending the meeting.

You know how you will know when Ghaddafi is using human shields?

He’ll keep them there.

Duh.

Nic Robertson is a thoroughly professional, dedicated, fearless journalist. Could there be any question about his resenting a Nancy Boy gossip monger who hovers and hunkers down in a hotel, probably having assistants back in the UK or the US watching CNN International to gather information for his reports?

Wait….shhhhhhhh…quiet. Ya hear that?

I never heard Griffen say anything about it being intentional by Ghaddafi .

British sources told her their mission last night was cut short because of the presence of the Western journalists and several Libyan civilians.

“They felt that the civilians and journalists had effectively been used as human shields and that was frustrating to them,” said Griffin tonight. “It was a very close call. In fact one official told me that there was a Reuters crew literally on a spot where they were going to drop a missile.”

I never heard that they were rushed thru either. And I read 30 minutes not 20.

” The press stayed there for approximately 30 minutes before they were taken back to the hotel.”

And seriously dude, do you know how much damage an air strike can cause in just minutes ?

Ask Ghaddafi if he remembers this .

The attack, known as Operation El Dorado Canyon, involved more than 100 U.S. aircraft. The principal strike force was in the form of Navy A-6s from the aircraft carriers USS America and USS Coral Sea, and Air Force F-111s from airbases in the United Kingdom. The refusal of the French government to grant authority for an American overflight of their country greatly complicated matters, and necessitated refueling of the aircraft in a much longer flight around the Iberian peninsula.

Despite this obstacle, the U.S. force was able to launch its attack at 2:00 a.m. local time on April 16. Over the course of 12 minutes, U.S. forces dropped 60 tons (61 tonnes) of munitions and encountered negligible resistance from the Libyans, who failed to get a single aircraft airborne to challenge the attackers.

So why protect yourself with human shields for a half hour when 5 minute later you could be obliterated off the face of the earth anyway.

If you didn’t live in your little teabubble you would see how none of this makes any sense.

” Who the f*ck would need shielding for the length of a Seinfeld show? ”

Make up your mind. And a half hour would be more than enough time to relocate.

LOL… THE ENEMY STAYS AROUND LONG ENOUGH TO SEND FOR AND WAIT FOR REPORTERS SO THEY WILL HAVE A HALF HOUR TO RELOCATE WHEN THE BOMBING COMES.

Why didn’t they just relocate the hours beforehand?

AND HERE’S THE KICKER…THEY DIDN’T RELOCATE WHEN THE JOURNALISTS ARRIVED, THEY GAVE THEM A TOUR AND SENT THEM ON THERE WAY WHILE THEY REMAINED BEHIND!!!LOLOLOL

Your post qualifies as the stupidest of the month, but don’t despair, stupidity is the only way to defend Fox.

Anyway, thanks for the laugh. It cleaned my sinuses.

You got me there. But I am honest. How about you ?

“They were there for 20 minutes and then got the bums rush from Libyan officials to get back on the bus and leave the compound asap. Not the behavior of someone who wanted shields ”

Where did you get 20 minutes ? And where did anyone say they were rushed ?
And why pretend Griffen lied ?

JENNIFER GRIFFIN: “They had been brought, essentially as human shields, by the ministry of Information, to that compound.”

She repeated what she was told.

1- from Robertson

2 – from Robertson

3 – I am tired of Fox misleading its viewers to fit a narrative and then issuing a correction only after they are caught.
I’m not buying that they are “mistakes” anymore.

4 – ““They felt that the civilians and journalists had effectively been used as human shields and that was frustrating to them,” said Griffin tonight. “
That is not a direct quote from the intel sources, that is her interpretation of it. I would question if they used that specific term. A good journalist would have said “British sources told me. and I quote….”

Nic’s methods seem to be quite lazy. How could he possible know that Harrigan is eating breakfast all day if he is so busy on field trips for a dictator? Getting bussed around like a groupie is only fearless dirty work on occasion. There was nothing professional about this report, and unsupported attacks.
