Chalk up another win (h/t) for Big Media; not that anyone needed a crystal ball to see that the video of an unhinged CNN honcho, spouting the ludicrous slander that the American military assassinates journalists, would never be allowed to see the light of day.
Sisyphus laments:
The rock rolled down the hill.
Don't blame yourself, Sisyphus, Atlas himself couldn't roll that rock up the hill if Big Media wants it to roll down.
I agree with Vanderleun (h/t); now that CNN is secure in the quashing of the video tape, the story will never gain critical mass. The b'tards win again; just business as usual in Big Media-land.
UPDATE:
Everyone's linking to a must-read, on fire post from Rony Abovitz, who's righteously ticked about CNN and the deeply corrupted state of the Mainstream Media. Check it out.

Still, as they say, "History will tell."
