This Is CNN

Michael Ware is a piece of work, no doubt. He is an Australian “journalist” working for CNN, covering Baghdad. In case you haven’t been keeping up to date, Ware went to Afghanistan at the start of the war and instead of covering US troops and the destruction of the Taliban he decided to go “hang out” with the Taliban and interview them.

In Iraq, he has hired “stringers” who setup interviews with Al Qaeda and other insurgents as well as provide him with lurid pictures like the ones of the four murdered Blackwater security contractors in Fallujah.  The man is so in bed with the enemy I’m surprised somebody in Iraq hasn’t popped a cap in his ass yet. His bias floated to the surface again yesterday when he decided to rant and heckle Senators McCain and Graham during a press conference in Baghdad.

If you’re still watching CNN for your news now you know how utterly worthless that news organization has become. The bias by other reporters at CNN is not as blatant as Ware’s but it is entirely evident and recognizable to anyone with an IQ higher than 4. Which is about the average IQ of typical Liberals and Leftists who watch that crap network.

During a live press conference in Baghdad, Senators McCain and Graham were heckled by CNN reporter Michael Ware.

An official at the press conference called Ware’s conduct “outrageous,” saying, “here you have two United States Senators in Bagdad giving first-hand reports while Ware is laughing and mocking their comments. I’ve never witnessed such disrespect. This guy is an activist not a reporter.”

Senators McCain and Graham flew into Iraq and drove into Baghdad, making stops at an open market and a joint Iraq/American military security outpost before appearing at the press conference.

This is not the first time Michael Ware has taken issue with Senator McCain’s comments about early progress in Iraq. Last week, after Senator McCain told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer that he needed to catch up on the news coming out of Iraq, Michael Ware responded, saying:

“I don’t know what part of Neverland Senator McCain is talking about when he says we can go strolling in Baghdad.”

Michael Ware has also publicly expressed his views on the war last year in an interview with Bill Maher, saying, “I’ve been given a front-row ticket to watch this slow-motion train wreck … I try to stay as drunk for as long as possible while I’m here … In fact, I’m drinking now.”

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
