AOL TIME WARNER BLOWS ITS OWN HORN.

Subject: CORPORATE MEDIA CONTROL: AOL's HBO promotes AOL's CNN in "Live from Bagdad"
To Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting (FAIR):
I wish to share a particularly blatant example of corporate control of the media having an effect on the way in which a story is reported.
The new made-for HBO documentary, "Live From Baghdad" was very entertaining, but not very objective. The movie takes a very favorable view of CNN, and its rise to prominence during the 1991 Gulf War. Yet nowhere does the movie mention that HBO and CNN are both owned by AOL Time Warner.
I hope that FAIR will please inform its subscribers about AOL Time Warner using one of its media outlets (HBO) to make and broadcast a documentary about another of its media outlets (CNN), without disclosing the greatest possible conflict of interest that there can ever be-- that both are owned by the same company.
Very sincerely,
David D.
