antiwarriors please Iraq

That's it? That's the story?

The subject of the lead story at this very moment on the CNN site, which is viewed all around the planet, is the millions of people around the world protesting the imminent American war against Iraq. The CNN site's headline reads,

ANTIWAR RALLIES DELIGHT IRAQ
It looks like Rupert Murdoch's NYPost!

The first paragraph:

BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- Iraq was gloating Sunday over the global outpouring of opposition to a possible U.S.-led war against the country, saying the rallies by millions of people signaled an Iraqi victory and "the defeat and isolation of America."
For any sceptics about the political agenda or incompetence of the American media, does this finally send a message? [CNN is actually a world news medium, but it's still the creature of its commercial American birth.]
