Only CNN Airs Ahmadinejad’s Speech

A viewer writes to TVNewser:

“I am shocked that neither Fox News or MSNBC showed live Mahmoud Ahmadinejad‘s speech at the UN! I tip my hat to CNN for showing it, and also offering up solid analysis afterwards.” (FNC aired a couple minutes of it, but not the whole address.)

The e-mailer continues: “Our own President in the U.S. constantly tells us how dangerous this man is (maybe rightly so). Like it or not, he is an elected leader of a country that is in direct conflict with the U.S. over major issues of our day. All the networks seemed to build up the drama (Showdown at the UN!), and I think everyone showed Bush’s speech live (as they should… I watched). But I also wanted to hear what Ahmadinejad had to say… and could ONLY find it on CNN. Incredible!”
