CNN 'very disappointed' at being banned from Iran


"There are reports today, Monday, that Iran has banned us from the country. CNN is very disappointed that this action has been taken," Nigel Pritchard, a spokesman for the company, said in a statement from Atlanta, where CNN is based.

"Due to an error in translation, CNN incorrectly quoted Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in his Saturday speech as saying that Iran has the right to build nuclear weapons," the statement said.

"In fact, President Ahmadinejad said that Iran has the right to nuclear energy


Heck no prob. I'd banish you from my nation too (if I ran one) if you misquoted me as saying "I should have nukes and fire them off at anyone I like" too !

We all know the Iranians are trying to build nuclear weapons , it's a delicate situation. Yahoo's like you messing up the waters like this only make it worse. Much worse. It's probably for the best that you take a powder from the scene if this the kind of reporters you employ in Iran.

Save the real "we have nukes" report for the Iranian Prez to make , don't make it for him, he's an idiot and will do it eventually.

And fire that reporter. He or she is obviously highly incompetant and in need of a career change.
