McCain heckled by CNN reporter
Sun Apr 01 2007 13:50:38 ET

**Exclusive**

During a live press conference in Baghdad, Senators McCain and Graham were heckled by CNN reporter Michael Ware. An official at the press conference called Ware’s conduct “outrageous,” saying, “here you have two United States Senators in Bagdad giving first-hand reports while Ware is laughing and mocking their comments. I’ve never witnessed such disrespect. This guy is an activist not a reporter.”

Senators McCain and Graham flew into Iraq and drove into Baghdad, making stops at an open market and a joint Iraq/American military security outpost before appearing at the press conference.

This is not the first time Michael Ware has taken issue with Senator McCain’s comments about early progress in Iraq. Last week, after Senator McCain told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer that he needed to catch up on the news coming out of Iraq, Michael Ware responded, saying:

“I don't know what part of Neverland Senator McCain is talking about when he says we can go strolling in Baghdad.”

Michael Ware has also publicly expressed his views on the war last year in an interview with Bill Maher, saying, “I've been given a front-row ticket to watch this slow-motion train wreck … I try to stay as drunk for as long as possible while I'm here … In fact, I'm drinking now.”

Yeah I saw one clip last week where this Michael Ware guy was like "if you have trouble hearing me its because of the helicopters swirling overhead and the gun battles blazing a block away." Except that you could not hear anything in the background at all. I wasn't sure if he was trying to be funny or soemthing.

He said it with such glee, too.

that guys is always so funny.  I saw his "neverland" clip on wolf blitzer, and thought he'd be in trouble then.

the guy has always been crazy like that, but he does make it interesting to watch.  If more media did push the envelope, politicians might be more honest.  WHat mccain said, really trivialized every risk being taken by every troop and reporter in the nation for 4 years.

I didn't believe it until I actually started paying attention and comparing CNN and Fox.  IMO, there is an obvious liberal bias with CNN and conservative bias with Fox. 

One thing is certain:  this Ware guy isn't just reporting the news.  He's trying to influence public opinion.

I believe FOX is very far right and MSNBC is far left at this point.

CNN is more left than right, for sure.  But they have that moderate foundation that neither of the others has.  Their focus goes beyond left/right - instead, I think they use middle INCOME/CLASS as their primary target market.

These days anything that negatively reports the war is a Liberal Bias.  plain and simple.  It's about time you people start acting right and stop walk the line of treason.

You are either for us or against.  There is no gray area.  Just BUSH's way or the wrong way.

Why are you people so slow to get that?

Start acting right, go to church, believe in democracy, report the commies to your local party members... err  ah  republican...  errr ah the FBI, report all terrorist, anyone who doesn't agree with BUSH to the FBI.

traitors.

Clinton caused all this you know.  dam libs.

One of the biggest indicators of a drone-ship or a sheeple is when someone actually blames Clinton for 9/11.

headhunter6 says that even if the attack had happened FIVE years into the Bush admin, it would still be Clinton's fault.

Seriously, how do you have an intelligent conversation with someone like that?  They have no basis in reality.

After the French put out "911: The Big Lie" and "Hunt the Boeing", our govts response was to attempt to trivialize the French so that people wouldn't even listen to what they have to say.

Attack the messenger, not the message ;)

Has ANYONE viewed a clip of this heckling by Ware?

Ware was interviewed and said it NEVER happened.

I'd believe Ware over John "Jerry Falwell" McCain.

maybe Drudge just got snookered by one of his sources

either way, the story appears to be fake

You've got Ware denying it ever happened and there is no audio/video of it happening

If this was a live press conference there ought to be some tape of the event.
