There was a huge debate about this even before Iraq hit the news but the South African Broadcasting Authority has canned CNN in favour of a mixture of BBC, Al Jazeera, Sky and a few others.

They used to run CNN from about 11pm to 6am on one of the channels. Sources in management have indicated their decision was based on clear, massive bias, and misleading reporting.
