"As a result, cnn became the viewers choice for breaking news and ongoing coverage of criminal trials and government hearings. CNN's coverage of the 1991 Gulf War, when cnn reporters speaking by telephone from a Baghdad hotel delivered live reports during the first night's bombardment, proved to be a milestone for the network. The influence of cnn can be observed directly in the rise of competing news networks like Fox News and MSNBC and indirectly in the intense media coverage of emotionally charged events like the trial of O.J. Simpson and the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal." - The New York Times, The New York Times Guide to Essential Knowledge: A Desk Reference for the Curious Mind (Get the book.)

"In its original report, cnn reported BMJ's claim and Lilly's denial that the papers had ever been missing. The London-based BMJ, formerly called the British Medical Journal, did not retract its contention that the documents show the antidepressant is linked to increased risk of suicide or violence. "All we have retracted is the statement that these documents went missing," wrote acting editor Kamram Abbasi, in an e-mail to cnn." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.)

"The public acquired the habit of watching the news on television throughout the day (and night), not simply at the dinner hour. cnn was followed by the business networks. The Financial News Network, founded in 1983, was later absorbed into CNBC. Then came CNNfn and Bloomberg Television. Together, these networks produced an urrinterrupted stream of financial news, much of it devoted to the stock market. So pervasive was their influence that traditional brokerage firms found it necessary to keep CNBC running in the lower corners of their brokers' computer screens." - Brian Fagan, Floods, Famines, and Emperors: El Nino and the Fate of Civilizations (Get the book.)

"In an interview on cnn, Val DiFebo of Deutsch said of the Dot ad: "What we thought was important here was to have Dot communicate to people how Dot was feeling." Of the Dot ad campaign in general, DiFebo said, "You're going to see them when you wake up in the morning and when you go to bed at night, because we know that's where you are and we want you to see these ads."108 Dot has had a wide impact. Dot has inspired a "Bouncy, the Zoloft Dot" fan listing on the Web (in which one fan wrote she wished that Dot was available as a stuffed animal) and articles in The New York Times." - Charles Barber, Comfortably Numb: How Psychiatry Is Medicating a Nation (Get the book.)

"Larson Professor of Medicine at the University of Nebraska Medical Center, told cnn, "You can't rule out the TLC factor.... If you know someone prepared soup for you by hand, that might have an effect."

"He learns about supplements and vitamins from watching Sanja Gupta on cnn or reading New York Times nutrition columnist Jane Brody, an establishment apologist who seems to have never encountered an "official position" she didn't like. The world-renowned nutritionist and former president of Tufts University Jean Mayer, Ph.D., was famously quoted as saying, "Any secretary who's been on a diet knows as much about nutrition as the average doctor in this country." - Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S., The Most Effective Natural Cures on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth about What Treatments Work and Why (Get the book.)

"That night's television talk show on cnn was part of what had become the most expensive and aggressive pharmaceutical marketing battle at the turn of the century. And this time the company once led by George W. Merck was at the heart of it. Merck 8c Co. had grown to become the world's largest pharmaceutical company in the late 1980s, largely through the power of its science. At that time Ray Vagelos, a doctor who was fascinated with research, had been in charge. Dr. Vagelos gave the company's scientists a fair degree of freedom to pursue promising ideas." - Melody Petersen, Our Daily Meds: How the Pharmaceutical Companies Transformed Themselves into Slick Marketing Machines and Hooked the Nation on Prescription Drugs (Get the book.)

"ABC World News reports that exercise might stave off Alzheimer's disease in rats; cnn flashes stats on the ever-expanding obesity crisis; the New York Times investigates the practice of treating bipolar kids with costly drugs that are only marginally effective yet carry horrendous side effects. What gets lost is that these seemingly unrelated threads are tied together at a fundamental level of biology. I'll explain how, by exploring volumes of new research that hasn't yet appeared anywhere for the general public." - John J. Ratey, MD, Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain (Get the book.)

"On January 2, 2005, cnn reported that an internal document purportedly from Eli Lilly and Co. revealed that the drug maker had data more than 15 years ago showing that patients on its antidepressant, Prozac, were far more likely to attempt suicide and show hostility than were patients on other antidepressants. For obvious reasons, the company attempted to minimize public awareness of the drug's side effects. The document was provided to cnn by the office of Rep. Maurice Hinchey, D-New York, who has called for tightening FDA regulations on drug safety. " - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.)

"It was picked up by all the networks, but primarily by cnn. Larry King had the author on his show for the entire hour. It was talked about, talked about, and talked about over and over again. The amazing thing was that the journalist from The Smoking Gun was also all over the news. He was doing a major media tour, he was everywhere, and prominently displayed was the fact that he represented The Smoking Gun website. I began to be curious. It was almost as if cnn was actively advertising and promoting The Smoking Gun website. I began to smell a rat." - Kevin Trudeau, More Natural Cures Revealed: Previously Censored Brand Name Products That Cure Disease (Get the book.)

"CNN's coverage of the 1991 Gulf War, when cnn reporters speaking by telephone from a Baghdad hotel delivered live reports during the first night's bombardment, proved to be a milestone for the network.

(Posttraumatic stress disorder led the way, accounting for almost half of all diagnoses, followed by anxiety, adjustment disorders, depression, and substance abuse disorders.)28 In the aftermath of each of those events, there has been extensive media coverage, discussion, and debate about the mental health of the victims." - Charles Barber, Comfortably Numb: How Psychiatry Is Medicating a Nation (Get the book.)

"She gained 35 pounds watching cnn. While the hours of television watched are directly correlated with weight gain, in Ester's case it was compounded by the state of alarm washing over her nervous system. It was as if she were living in a war zone herself and the hormones she produced while she was stressed out made her gain more and more weight. She didn't need to exercise more or change her diet; she needed to massage her nervous system, to quiet the molecules of alarm making her gain weight. She needed only to remove one thing from her diet: cnn." - Mark Hyman, Ultra-Metabolism: The Simple Plan for Automatic Weight Loss (Get the book.)

"This became headline news all over cnn. This was the number one news topic in America. It's amazing to me that such an unimportant issue was the number one news story for over a week. I began to wonder why this was such a huge news story. It was picked up by all the networks, but primarily by cnn. Larry King had the author on his show for the entire hour. It was talked about, talked about, and talked about over and over again. The amazing thing was that the journalist from The Smoking Gun was also all over the news." - Kevin Trudeau, More Natural Cures Revealed: Previously Censored Brand Name Products That Cure Disease (Get the book.)

"We worked with a producer from cnn who was preparing an advance story to be broadcast the morning of the press conference; we provided information on milk to balance what she had been told by the Cancer Prevention Coalition, answered her safety questions and referred her to our spokespersons. This news report was broadcast without mention of milk issues. ¦ We worked with reporters from cnn, Associated Press, Reuters, WJLA-TVto provide background information and commentary from spokespersons." - Samuel S. Epstein, M.D., What's In Your Milk?: An Exposé of Industry and Government Cover-Up on the Dangers of the Genetically Engineered (rBGH) Milk You're Drinking (Get the book.)

"All we have retracted is the statement that these documents went missing," wrote acting editor Kamram Abbasi, in an e-mail to cnn. The BMJ had written that the documents "went missing" during the 1994 lawsuit brought by relatives of victims of Joseph Wesbecker, who five years before shot and killed eight of his co-workers at a Louisville, Ky, printing plant and then killed himself. Wesbecker, who had a history of depression, had been prescribed Prozac a month before the shootings." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.)

Thus, many Viagra related deaths might be reported as a heart attack without further explanation or examination. Another factor, which results in under-reporting of side effects, is that there are many cases in which the drug is taken by those other than the ones for whom it was prescribed. We mentioned that already." - Kenneth W Thomas, Ron Gilbert, Gerd Schaller, Side Effects: The Hidden Agenda of the Pharmaceutical Drug Cartel (Get the book.)

"Atlanta-based Sabriya Rice, a cnn producer and fluent Spanish speaker, would help with interviews. We also had a film and photography crew that included Damian Petrou, Tom Adair, Joseph Van Harken, Nick Buettner, and Gianluca Colla to help document our findings. Jorge Vin-das, a Costa Rican who had interviewed many of Nicoya's centenarians as part of Rosero-Bixby's research team, would join us as a facilitator and translator. After dinner the first night, I gathered the team and presented the plan." - Dan Buettner, The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who've Lived the Longest (Get the book.) "It seemed like every major news organization in the world, including cnn, the Discovery Channel, and the BBC had come to see her. When Sayoko heard about our plans to visit Ushi again, she asked to come along. On the hour-long car ride to Ogimi, we had our first opportunity to really talk. We were sitting in the back seat as the vivid foliage of northern Okinawa zipped by. "You know Dan, Ushi really changed my life," she began. "I'd been working in the center of Tokyo." - Dan Buettner, The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who've Lived the Longest (Get the book.)

"She began to watch cnn day and night, waiting, anxious, and expectant. Would her daughter be safe? Was the latest cafe bombing or suicide bomber in her neighborhood? This went on for months and months despite attempts by her family to distract her. Her daughter would call and reassure her that she was happy and safe, but this did little to settle her anxiety. Her stress multiplied by the day, and so did her dress size. She gained 35 pounds watching cnn." - Mark Hyman, Ultra-Metabolism: The Simple Plan for Automatic Weight Loss (Get the book.)

"That still left the big question of how the ripples had ended up on their current curves, which was a bit like seeing cnn appear in your cup of tea. But he and Lambe soon figured out how this worked. Since the spectrum was like that of the evaporating solvent, they assumed that somehow a small amount of it must have ended up in the insulating layer of the junction sandwich. The solvent molecule was now caught in the crossfire of tunnelling electrons zipping past it on all sides within the insulator. Some of the electrons hit the molecules and the shock made the molecules ring like a gong." - Luca Turin, The Secret of Scent: Adventures in Perfume and the Science of Smell (Get the book.)

"An investigation made public by cnn on 26 September 2007 discovered that 56 million prescriptions each year are handed out by doctors for drugs that are not even approved by the FDA. Two percent of all prescription drugs in the U.S. are not backed by any scientific research and can be fatal to unsuspecting patients. As shocking as it is, the FDA acknowledges that it hands out licenses to any drug producer who wants to sell a drug, regardless of whether it has been proven safe or effective." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.) "The document was provided to cnn by the office of Rep. Maurice Hinchey, D-New York, who has called for tightening FDA regulations on drug safety. "The case demonstrates the need for Congress to mandate the complete disclosure of all clinical studies for FDA-approved drugs so that patients and their doctors, not the drug companies, decide whether the benefits of taking a certain medicine outweigh the risks," he said. This would certainly be a step in the right direction, but it is simply not the way in which the FDA is moving." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.) "The study was reported on cnn August 14, 2007. You will need to determine whether it is worthwhile to spend a lot of money on supplements that don't work, but could possibly affect you negatively. What about Taking Extra Minerals? Mineral salts found in the earth's soil and rocks are classified as inorganic, and must be incorporated within the structure of plants in order to be useable by your body. Most mineral supplements are inorganic, and their consumption causes serious problems, as they commonly end up deposited in your various tissues." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.)

"CNN Report, Feb. 23, 2000 "Sure, it's poison, but all chemotherapy agents are." - CEO of a pharmaceutical company It remains a fact, that for most common cancers, there is no effective treatment. - Garth Powis, DPh, The Toxicity of Anticancer Drugs, Pergamon Press, 1991. A panel that advises the Food and Drug Administration recommended approval yesterday of the cancer drug Iressa, despite concerns by the agency's staff about the drug's effectiveness. Iressa shrank tumors in 10% of non-small lung cancer patients who had not responded to two previous drug treatments. - New York Times, Sept." - Bill Sardi, You Don't Have to be Afraid of Cancer Anymore (Get the book.)

"Millions of viewers had seen actress Kathleen Turner on cnn and ABC, for example, talking about her rheumatoid arthritis and recommending an information website. What they couldn't have known was the funding both she and the website took was from Immunex, the maker of the arthritis drug Enbrel. And when Lauren Bacall chatted about a friend who had gone blind from macular degeneration and been helped by Visudyne, she didn't think to mention that Novartis, the drug's manufacturer, had paid her a fee." - Jacky Law, Big Pharma: Exposing the Global Healthcare Agenda (Get the book.)

"In an October 3,2003, cnn editorial, Lou Dobbs addressed the issue of the epidemic abuse of drugs. Not illegal drugs, but legal substances that are little different in their dangers: "The dramatic increase in the sales of pharmaceuticals not only suggest that Americans are well on their way to becoming depressed, anxiety-ridden and incapable of the focus necessary to understand the world in which we live, but also that we are on our way to becoming a drug-dependent nation...A crisis looms." - Fred A. Baughman, Jr., M.D. and Craig Hovey, The ADHD Fraud: How Psychiatry Makes "Patients" of Normal Children (Get the book.)

"A medical expert from cnn, who was also on the panel, said he could not agree with this recommendation. According to the cnn expert, the use of MSM was not supported by enough studies. Then the cnn medical expert went on to say that the standard steroid treatment would be the best option for this child. Unfortunately, the discussion moved on before it was thoroughly explored." - Mark Stengler, N.D., The Natural Physician's Healing Therapies (Get the book.)
