CNN and fake news. Been going on for years, only we just suspected it, no proof. The innertubes have changed all that. Eason Jordon was fired after Operation Iraqi Freedom got underway because
CNN paid Saddam Hussein for access, and tailored stories to put his regime in a good light; it was 1968 and the Tet Offensive all over again. CNN does seem to like to put totalitarian regimes in a good light (See: The Owebama Regime).
Some fake CNN news from Operation Desert Storm. The opening scenes are in a studio, with fake scenery and a big fan blowing to fake the wind. He then goes on the air wearing a different jacket.
CNN Fake Newscast Best QualityThen there's this bit of CNN fakery.
CNN Busted For Faking Satellite Interview.Yet CNN claims the title 'The Most Trusted Name in News' -- if you like your news to be fiction.
The last information I on this dweeb is he is now working for a Fox affiliate in St. Louis. Any questions on why I don't watch any televised news, even Fox News Channel?

http://newsbusters.org/people/charles-jacoCharles Jaco, Former CNN Reporter Threatens Suit After Bloggers Accuse Him of 'Fake' News
A former war correspondent for CNN is threatening legal action against bloggers who suggest that video of him reporting the first Gulf War from a television studio is "fake news." The video shows Charles Jaco and another correspondent dramatically recounting events from the Persian Gulf, and later shows Jaco and the camera crew joking around in what appears to be a television studio (video embedded below the fold).
"My attorneys intend to act immediately against those of you receiving this who have sent and forwarded these emails accusing me of falsifying coverage," Jaco wrote in a memo to a local blogger who circulated the video via email. He also announced his intention to demand that LiveLink and YouTube remove the video from their respective sites.
That legal threat really worked as I grabbed the videos off of YouTube this morning.
This Jaco clown, along with the scrunts Susan Roesgen and Candy Crowley, among many, are names that should be as infamous as the name 'Typhoid Mary'. Or 'p-o-t-a-t-o-E'. Or Walter Duranty.
ETA: More Jaco asshattery, this time aimed at 'Teabaggers'.
