Jessica Yellin is very courageous for speaking the truth. She will be tarred and feathered by the military-industrial-media complex; but to American citizens she is a hero and a patriot.

Not the confession it was rumored to be. People comment like they have friendships or equality with these people on TV...maybe they do...but to g/b her for some kind of courage....I guess considering it isn't even her current employer that she speaks. I think MrFancyShirt, her hamster, must have passed away on the day she gave this interview.

Jessica Yellin gets on my nerves because she smiles too damn much when delivering the news. Maybe not here but when she's on the air with Wolf Blitzer it's so annoying!

I'm of the opinion that an anchor/reporter shouldn't smile a whole lot-imagine someone like Walter Cronkite having reported the evening news every night with a big smile on his face, and I notice that women anchors especially do this a lot.

the media is interested in ratings, they rarely present anything accurately.

How WONDERFUL: a woman for CNN who will actually speak the truth. Lady, write a book. We're SOOO hungry for real journalists to tell us how they were subtly pressured to write lying praising stories about the Bush Mafia. Just as I was pressured NOT to do the Safety Engineering job I was supposed to do, by many a subtle hint....so finally I was kicked off the program, when I didn't take the hint. Same for modern day journalists who take their responsibilities seriously,

That will never air again, and I bet they don't bring her on much in the future. But if it woke even one person up who had no clue, it was worth it. I hope it woke up a lot more.
