NBC Severs Ties With Journalist Arnett Mar 31, 9:10 AM EST NBC fired journalist Peter Arnett on Monday, saying it was wrong for him to give an interview with state-run Iraqi TV in which he said the American-led coalition's initial plan for the war had failed because of Iraq's resistance "Our reports about civilian casualties here, about the resistance of the Iraqi forces, are going back to the United States," he said The Iraqi TV interview was broadcast in English and translated by a uniformed Iraqi anchor "Any satisfaction in that? Ha, ha, ha, ha Arnett said it is clear that within the United States there is growing opposition to the war and a growing challenge to President Bush about the war's conduct One of the few American television reporters left in Baghdad, his reports were frequently aired on NBC and its cable sisters, MSNBC and CNBC NBC said Monday he wouldn't be reporting for "National Geographic Explorer," either The first Bush administration was unhappy with Arnett's reporting on the Gulf War in 1991 for CNN, suggesting he had become a conveyor of propaganda " "It helps those who oppose the war when you challenge the policy to develop their arguments Now they are trying to write another war plan " Arnett, who won a Pulitzer Prize reporting in Vietnam for The Associated Press, gained much of his prominence from covering the 1991 Gulf War for CNN " "I want to apologize to the American people for clearly making a misjudgment," the New Zealand-born Arnett said Arnett to grant an interview to state-controlled Iraqi TV, especially at a time of war," NBC spokeswoman Allison Gollust said " At a briefing Sunday in Qatar, Gen "It was wrong for Mr But by Monday morning the network switched course and, after Arnett spoke with NBC News President Neal Shapiro, said it would no longer work with Arnett defectors S Arnett, on NBC's "Today" show on Monday, said he was sorry for his statement but added "I said over the weekend what we all know about the war " He said the Iraqis allowed him to stay in Baghdad because they respect him and "see me as a fellow warrior He said he would try to leave Baghdad now, joking "there's a small island in the South Pacific that I've inhabited that I'll try to swim to Arnett called the interview a "misjudgment" and apologized " "Clearly, the American war plans misjudged the determination of the Iraqi forces," Arnett said ARnett was denounced for reporting that the allies had bombed a baby milk factory in Baghdad when the military said it was a biological weapons plant Two CNN employees were sacked and Arnett was reprimanded over the report, which the station later retracted " "Let's hope that he's being coerced," Ros-Lehtinen said Leaving a second network under a cloud may mark the end of his TV career But he found himself answering questions about whether he had enough troops to do the job and denying that coalition forces were stalled "And it was wrong for him to discuss his personal observations and opinions in that interview " NBC defended him Sunday, saying he had given the interview as a professional courtesy and that his remarks were analytical in nature A Republican congresswoman, Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, told Fox News Channel on Sunday that Arnett's remarks were "Kafkaesque" and "just crazy In the April 5 issue of TV Guide, Arnett said he felt he had found redemption reporting on the current war NBC said Arnett gave the interview when asked shortly after he attended an Iraqi government briefing He said the United States is reappraising the battlefield and delaying the war, maybe for a week, "and rewriting the war plan "Now (Turner and Johnson) are gone, the Iraqis have thrown the CNN crew out of Baghdad, and I'm still here," he said In the Iraqi TV interview, broadcast Sunday by Iraq's satellite television station and monitored by The Associated Press in Egypt, Arnett said his Iraqi friends tell him there is a growing sense of nationalism and resistance to what the United States and Britain are doing Tommy Franks ticked off major achievements of the war campaign, including the advance of troops to within 60 miles of Baghdad "I was furious with (CNN founder) Ted Turner and (then-CNN chairman) Tom Johnson when they threw me to the wolves after I made them billions risking my life to cover the first Gulf War," Arnett told TV Guide Arnett left the network when his contract was not renewed Arnett was the on-air reporter of the 1998 CNN report that accused American forces of using sarin nerve gas on a Laotian village in 1970 to kill U Arnett went to Iraq this year not as an NBC News reporter but as an employee of the MSNBC show "National Geographic Explorer The first war plan has failed because of Iraqi resistance " When other NBC reporters left Baghdad for safety reasons, the network began airing his reports " The birth mother had chosen an "open" adoption process where she selected potential parents from a group of applicants In describing the segment last week, "20/20" co-host John Stossel said Walters "will bring you what might be called the ultimate reality show "But I urge you to withhold your judgment until you watch the program " Frankly, some of our initial on-air promos went a little over the top Walters Says Promotion Overly Zealous Apr 29, 11:21 AM EST Barbara Walters says ABC News was "overly zealous" in its promotion of this week's "20/20" that involves five couples interviewed as potential adoptive parents This is not one of those scripted `reality shows ' It is reality The couples chosen agreed to have the process documented by ABC News "Some of that may be due to overly zealous promotion on our part "There was a great deal of misunderstanding about the program," Walters said in an e-mail to "20/20" viewers The show airs Friday on ABC " "For the record," Walters, the mother of an adopted girl, wrote, "we should say that `20/20' simply reports what happened Viewers were upset that the process, which involved a real 16-year-old girl putting her baby up for adoption, had been likened to a television reality show We did not choose the participants nor exert any influence on what they did |
