To many of them, Ted Turner is considered one of the giants of world news and media. However, a great number of TV watchers in the United Arab Emirates, Egypt, Iraq, Kuwait, Bahrain, Syria, Saudi Arabia, France and Germany believe that Ted Turner was just lucky and CNN had a stroke of luck in becoming famous worldwide. They contribute the international success of CNN to the unofficial acquaintance or even friendship that existed in 1990 and 1991 between Saddam Hussein or Saddam Hussein’s regime and Ted Turner’s groupies. Who knows? In fact, CNN was the only American TV network which was allowed to remain “very active” on the Iraqi soil and closely report the news directly from the battle fields. Iraqis trusted CNN reporters for several reasons, some we know and some we don’t. It is essential to keep in mind that Iraqis had a sort of an agreement with CNN people. Some of the aspects and facets of this agreement can be summarized as follows: watchers in the United Arab Emirates, Egypt, Iraq, Kuwait, Bahrain, Syria, Saudi Arabia, France and Germany believe that Ted Turner was just lucky and CNN had a stroke of luck in becoming famous worldwide.

Iraqis trusted CNN reporters for several reasons, some we know and some we don’t. It is essential to keep in mind that Iraqis had a sort of an agreement with CNN people. Some of the aspects and facets of this agreement can be summarized as follows:

1-       CNN reporters in Iraq and while reporting news on the war, Saddam Hussein and his cabinet should and must NOT undermine the legitimacy of the Hussein’s regime and cause any embarrassment to the Iraqi forces;

2-       CNN reporters will not report news that undermine the political and military strength of Saddam Hussein;

3-       CNN reporters will not use their access to Iraqi officials and “restricted military areas” to diffuse misleading information and Pro-Israeli-American news/propaganda;

4-       CNN network will allow Saddam Hussein to freely express his opinions and have access to the world community and more particularly to the American audience, when he deemed necessary.

So the deal was sealed! That’s according to what many foreigners, Europeans and more precisely Arab citizens strongly believe. Today, the element, image and magnitude of trust in American reporters did not change much. The overwhelming majority of foreigners around the globe still believes that American radios and TV stations are biased, mislead, misinformed and controlled by Zionistic power and influence. However, 86% of those foreigners who visited the United States and closely watched the major American TV stations and cable networks have changed their mind. Today, they tend to believe that the American media is not as biased and bad as they thought. They came to this conclusion for reasons we know and many reasons we don’t know. One way of finding out why they have factually changed their mind about the veracity and unbiased reporting on TV and radio stations, was to conduct a survey on the subject and learn about their favorite and most trusted (or admired) American media personalities. So we did.
