🧵THREAD: CNN & The State Department & : A Hidden Partnership 🌐📺 Everyone knows CNN as "the world's newsroom." What's less discussed is how closely its reporting coordinates with U.S. and U.N. foreign policy machinery. Richard Haass, former member of the National Security Council, said CNN was useful because “CNN gave [us] tremendous access to markets that normally [we] couldn’t get to … We felt we could manage public opinion in this country and … manage the alliance, or the coalition dimensions of the war, as well as get to the Iraqi people and the Arab world.” In other words, Washington deliberately used CNN to send messages to domestic audiences, allies in Europe, and Arab publics. The interdependence goes sleep. As always, patience as I pull the thread together.
