| Reuters TV pulls plug on CNN |
| 2003-03-31 |
| Reuters has barred CNN from using its Baghdad video feed after the Iraqi authorities ordered the news agency not to supply the US network with pictures. Although CNN can use Reuters' audio material, pictures being sent around the world by the agency are marked "NO ACCESS CNN". The agency's reluctant decision to prevent CNN using its TV footage comes after the rolling news network was expelled from Baghdad. The Iraqis accused CNN of being a "propaganda tool" for the US army. Hah, hah, hah, hah, hah, hah |

| #4 Video feeds are usually available on the MSNBC and CBS News websites. A bit spotty in coverage, but better than a sharp stick. The cams don't seem to be as well oriented as the CNN cam, though -- some big traffic circle on MSNBC, lately. It's fun to listen to the Arabic technicians/newsies yammer on, though -- would probably be more interesting to someone who speaks Arab, tho... |
