The latest National Intelligence Estimate concluding that Iran discontinued its nuclear weapons program four years ago has claimed one casualty: CNN has postponed speculative documentary "We Were Warned -- Iran Goes Nuclear."

The two-hour spec, which was slated for Dec. 12 under the "CNN Presents" banner, was "set partially in the future," featuring a what-if scenario as former government officials -- playing fictional cabinet members -- debate how to deal with the Iranian threat.

So - the question needs to be - where were they getting all their "information" for this "in depth" analysis?
For God's sake - what ever happened to research and fact-finding and fact-checking.
It's like we're living in a world of journalists who think the news is no different from their 7th grade essay that they "researched" by reading blogs.

Guess they bet on the wrong damn horse. Congratulations on drawing the line somewhere in selling the propaganda.

Losing money by following the Bush line?
How amusing. Couldn't happen to a dumber bunch of fools.
If they had followed their original charter, news, instead of their current course, Bush propaganda, maybe they could make a little money.

Why not do a what-if program about psycho Bush getting impeached? Congress won't do it for real. So we can imagine thru this.

funny what happens when you don't actually do your own investigating reportage and depend on the minister of propaganda for your presentations.

A crimp in the propaganda? Maybe they could do a piece on Hugo Chavez eating babies.

Perhaps CNN should stick to non-fiction.
