Iran Goes Nuclear.? The two-hour show was to air December 12. Rather than deal with facts, the show was set in a future where Iran has become a nuclear threat. That special was ?based on a different set of rules and a different set of conditions,? said CNN veep-senior exec producer Mark Nelson, noting that the surprising NIE report ?changed everything.? In its place, CNN will this weekend air two Campbell Brown-hosted specials on the Iran situation and its history. Portions of ?We Were Warned? correspondent Frank Sesno?s original reporting will be incorporated into those hours, which air Saturday and Sunday. I am sure CNN will recover and find some other way to help start a war. |
