CNN's Horrible Week Gets Worse As Details Emerge on Network Officials Partying at Iranian Embassy
Brad Slager
CNN has been trying for days to defend the fact that the authoritarians in Iran - those who remain, at least - granted them permission to be the lone network allowed into the country, declaring that it was a case of journalism excellence. That most people saw this as the outlet being used as a propaganda puppet was inevitable, but still they squealed, posturing as the offended party.
Then they promptly continued with the same behavior. Milquetoast dispatches from its correspondent Frederick Pleitgen followed, with him filing recorded segments from the streets, but no live reporting. This was followed by a whiffle-ball interview Plietgen staged with one Iranian government figure (we’ll just sidestep the 35,000 civilian assassinations, thank you). Then CNN went beyond that, as it actually turned over its U.S. broadcast to Iranian state-run TV for four full minutes. We'll leave it to readers to make up their minds on just how compromised this makes the alleged news outlet.
Now it has been revealed that, ahead of this arrangement, some CNN figures in London were discovered partying it up with Iranian officials. Before CNN’s entry into Tehran, at a function held at the Iranian embassy, a CNN bureau chief and a correspondent were captured mingling with authorities. More on this in a minute.
