CNN is a broadcasting station that over time has been criticized and praised for its actions. Some say that CNN expresses too many stories from a liberal view point, and then others from a highly conservative side. The critics feel that CNN is trying to please everyone, though mostly from a liberal agenda. Others say that what CNN is doing is how news should always be reported; from both sides and for the most part that is what CNN is trying to do.
The movie Live from Baghdad is a good example of this quality of CNN, because while the main character, Robert Weiner, is trying to find a ground breaking story, he really just wants to get to the truth of the whole situation. While the movie does an excellent job of displaying the work it takes, and the danger involved, in getting to the good stories, it also gives a little of a background with its characters.
There is always a battle in broadcasting the news, between what people want to hear, and what people get to hear. Live from Baghdad shows how hard it is to find what people need to hear to understand the situation. CNN does a nice job of completing a story from both sides, and understanding the truth.
