U-Bob Arnot, ugqirha wajika waba ngumnxibelelanisi welinye ilizwe kwi-MSNBC kunye ne-NBC News-owayengumbhali omkhulu kwezonyango uGqirha Bob kwi-NBC News, owayefayila ngokungxama, ukuthunyelwa okufana no-Geraldo okuvela e-Iraq-bekubonakala ukuba akakho kwi-TV mva nje. Isivumelwano sikaGqirha Arnot sasiphezulu kwi-NBC ngoDisemba 2003 kwaye, ngokwenethiwekhi, ngekhe iphinde ihlaziywe kwikamva elibonakalayo.
UGqr. Arnot akazange amshiye ngokuzithandela.
Nangona ubuqu, ukuhamba kwakhe kukwatyhile ukwahlulahlula ukuhanjiswa kweTV kwimfazwe yase-Iraq.
Kwi-imeyile eyi-1,300 enegama kumongameli weendaba ze-NBC uNeal Shapiro, ebhalwe ngoDisemba ka-2003 kwaye yafunyanwa yi-NYTV, uGqirha Arnot wabiza iNBC News ’ukugubungela i-Iraq. Utshilo ukuba ukumgcina e-Iraq nakwi-NBC kunokuya kude ekulungiseni oko. Ugqirha Arnot uxelele uMnu. Shapiro ukuba i-NBC yalichitha iGunya loBumbano e-Baghdad ukusukela oko yadubula yaze yahambisa imifanekiso yomnxibelelanisi uJim Miklaszewski kwindawo yokuqhushumisa ngo-Novemba i-Al Rashid Hotel, apho i-CPA.A. Umsebenzi waboniswa wenzakele. Wabhala wathi, eso siganeko sabufumana ubutshaba obungapheliyo beC.P.A.
Sibe semngciphekweni omkhulu ngenxa yesidima se-NBC e-Iraq, uGqirha Arnot wabhala uMnu Shapiro. Watsho ukuba ngenxa yolwalamano oluhle kunye nomkhosi kunye ne-CPA Abasebenzi, i-NBC News inokulungisa ukuma kwayo nabasemagunyeni bakarhulumente ngokusasaza ngakumbi izinto zakhe.
Ndime ngokukodwa ukuba ndibike ibali, wabhala. Iindaba zeNBC zasebusuku zihlala zithatha amabali endiwadubulayo kwaye ndisebenzisa imifanekiso, nokuba ndikhokele usasazo, kodwa ndiyala ukuvumela ibali ukuba lixelwe yintatheli kuloo ndawo.
Ngamanye amagama, ucebise ukuba, Iindaba ze-NBC azikuthandi ukumbeka emoyeni.
UGqirha Arnot waquka izicatshulwa ezivela kwi-imeyile evela ku-Jim Keelor, umongameli we-Liberty Broadcasting, enezikhululo ze-NBC ezisibhozo kuMzantsi. Umnumzana Keelor ubhale i-NBC, echaza ukuba iinethiwekhi azizikhathalelanga iindaba ezimnandi e-Iraq. Inkcazo yeendaba iya kubandakanya amanye ala mabali, wabhala. Yiyo loo nto iFox News inyuka.
Ukufezekiswa kwezimvo, uMnu Keelor uthe akakhange abethe mntu kwaye iNBC News ibonakalise ukuba banomdla kwimicimbi. Kodwa wongeza, Ewe kwezopolitiko. Ubuntatheli kunye neendaba zizinto ezingaqhelekanga ezenzeka ngala mini. Kwaye ukuba izikolo ziyasebenza, banokuthi ziqhelekile. Impendulo yam kuloo nto yile, ‘Esihogweni.’ Inkxalabo yam yeyokuba phantse yonke into eyenzekileyo e-Iraq okoko kwaqala imfazwe ayilindelwanga.
Oko kuhle kakhulu kushwankathela isimo sikaGqirha Arnot ngokunjalo. Kwileta yakhe eya kuMnumzana Shapiro, wayezibuza ukuba kutheni uthungelwano lungachazi amabali enkqubela phambili e-Iraq, isikhalazo esihlala siviwe kulawulo luka-Bush. Njengoko uyazi, ndihlala ndibeka uninzi lwala mabali aqulethwe kwinqaku lasebusuku, namhlanje kwaye ngqo kuwe, wabhala. Lonke ibali elinye linqatshiwe.
Ukufika ekhaya eVermont, uGqirha Arnot uthe uMnu Shapiro ebengasenawo umdla woluhlobo lokugubungela. Kwicala le-MSNBC, banesisa esikhulu kwaye bafuna ndibuye, utshilo. Kodwa ukusuka kwinqanaba le-NBC, u-Neal akayekanga ukubeka nayiphi na imali ebhodweni, kwaye yeso sizathu sokuba ndingabuyeli eBaghdad.
Ngaba uMnu Shapiro uphendule kwi-imeyile yakhe? Leyo imeyile ethile, andizange ndifumane mpendulo, utshilo. Kwakukho i-imeyile ngaphambili, kwaye impendulo yathi, 'Sibotshelelwe kakhulu. Asinayo imali yokuba sikwazi ukuhlawula ukongamela komhleli. '
Ugqirha Arnot uthe wayesazi ukuba ingxaki kaMnu Shapiro ngokunika ingxelo kukuba yayintle kakhulu.
Umnumzana Shapiro uphendule nge-imeyile, esithi i-NBC News iphinde yavavanya ukuhanjiswa kwayo ngo-2004, yafumanisa ukuba sikwixesha lasemva kwemfazwe e-Iraq kwaye satshintshela izixhobo zalo kwingxelo yezopolitiko.
Ngenxa yokuba besigutyungelwe kakuhle eIraq ngababhaleli rhoqo, siye sajonga ezinye iindlela noBob, ezingakhange zikhokelele kwisivumelwano esitsha…. Nawuphi na umba wokuba iindaba ze-NBC ziye zathandabuza ukugubungela ibali lokwakha e-Iraq yinto ehlekisayo, u-Shapiro wabhala, ecaphula iziqwenga zokuvulwa kwezikolo kunye nendlela i-101st Airborne ehlengahlengise ngayo umntla kwaye inobudlelwane obuhle kakhulu apho. Umnumzana Shapiro wongeze ukuba iZiko leMithombo yeendaba kunye neMicimbi yoLuntu yafumanisa ukuba i-NBC News yeyona ilunge kakhulu kunxibelelwano. Ndinebhongo ngokugubungela, kwaye ndiziva ndikhululekile ngokupheleleyo ngendlela ingxelo kaBob Arnot esetyenziswe ngayo yinethiwekhi.
Inani lamagosa omkhosi akumgangatho ophakamileyo ekunxityelelwane nawo yi-NYTV ancoma izakhono eziphezulu zikaGqirha u-Arnot, ngakumbi ekukhanyeni kwento abayibona njengengxelo yemfazwe engapheliyo kwi-TV e-United States. U-Larry DiRita, isithethi se-Pentagon sika-Donald Rumsfeld, wathi uGqirha Arnot wayithimba i-Iraq njengoko wayibonayo xa wayetyelele apho ngokwakhe. Kwakunzima kwaye kungalingani kwaye kungalingani ngelo xesha, kwaye kwafuneka ujikeleze ukuze uyibone-kwaye uyayenza, utshilo uMnu DiRita. Ndicinga ukuba ukugubungela kwakhe kubonelela ngemeko yobomi bemihla ngemihla yaseIraq ephoswa kukufumana indawo eninzi.
UMajor Clark Taylor uthumele i-NYTV nge-imeyile esuka eBaghdad esithi uGqirha Arnot ubonise eyona nto yenzekayo apha…. Ngokuqhelekileyo uxele izinto ezintle kuba, gabalala, yile nto iyenzekayo. Ewe kukho izinto ezimbi ngamanye amaxesha… kwaye wazichaza kanjalo. Inyani yile, waxela into ayibonileyo-ubukhulu becala yayintle.
Njengokuba usazi, uyindoda evuselelayo (ugqirha, iimbaleki, intatheli yeTV, njl.), Wabhala u-Jikelele uGeneral David H. Petraeus kwi-imeyile, kunye 'ne-Screaming Eagles' (isiteketiso se-101 Amajoni) amsa kuye. Amajoni kunye neenkokheli zethu bavuyiswa ngokukodwa kukuba wabonisa umdla ongaka kwimizamo yokwakha isizwe eyayisenziwa ngamajoni ethu kunye namaqabane ethu amaninzi abalaseleyo eIraq.
Elinye igosa lomkhosi, uBrig. U-General Mark Hertling, uthe yena noogxa bakhe basandula ukwenza uvavanyo lwentatheli ezingama-37 abasebenza nazo, ukufumanisa ukuba zeziphi abazithandayo kwaye zeziphi abangazithandiyo. Abangamashumi amathathu anesixhenxe oonondaba abo sithethe ngabo, kwaye sithathe isigqibo sokuba ngubani esingathanda ukuya naye emfazweni kwixa elizayo, okanye ngubani esingathanda ukusela ibhiya naye kamva, u-General Hertling uxelele i-NYTV. Andizukuxelela elo nani, wongeza, ehleka, kodwa watsho uGqirha Arnot wayephezulu kuluhlu.
Kwimeyile yakhe eya kuMnumzana Shapiro, uGqr. Arnot wathi ubudlelwane bakhe nabasemagunyeni bamenza wafikelela kumabali ezinye iindaba ezingafumanekiyo.
Yindim ndedwa intatheli eya kuboniswa olona luhlu lwabanqolobi olufunyenwe kwisikhwama sikaSaddam, ubhale watsho. Umkhosi wade wandivumela ukuba ndibone ukubanjwa kwenye yeenkokheli zemvukelo… injengele enkulu kwiphiko lomkhosi weBaathist.
Kwaye uMnu Shapiro wayenento eninzi yokuncoma ayithethayo malunga noGqirha Arnot, embiza ngokuba yintatheli ephilayo engoyikiyo.
Kodwa kwiiholo zeNBC News, inani labangaphakathi kwinethiwekhi lithe, UGqr.Arnot wabonwa njengesiqhulo somkhosi kunye ne-CPA.A. Abanye bathandabuza ukuchaneka kwakhe njengentatheli.
Ngo-1998, eyona ncwadi ithengiswa kakhulu nguMnu Arnot, i-Breast Cancer Prevention Diet, yaqwalaselwa kakhulu ngabalindi bezonyango malunga namabango ayo ngokubanzi kangangokuba i-American Cancer Society kunye ne-Memorial – Sloan Kettering Cancer Centre eNew York City bakhalaza. yokungachaneki nokungachani kwincwadi kaGqirha Arnot. Ekugqibeleni, bekungekho zimpazamo kubuchwephesha kule ncwadi, utshilo uGqirha Arnot.
Ngo-2001, uGqr. Arnot-owayengunobhala omkhulu kwezonyango kwi-NBC's Today show nakwi-Dateline NBC -wanikela ngestethoscope sakhe kwaye wanxiba ibhatyi ye-flak kwezinye iindawo zangaphandle.
Ubuhlobo bukaGqirha Arnot kunye nomongameli we-MSNBC u-Erik Sorenson, osebenza naye ngeentsuku zakhe e-CBS, wamnceda wamguqula waba ngumnxibelelanisi okhethekileyo welinye ilizwe emva koSeptemba 11, 2001. Wahamba waya kwiindawo ezinobungozi njengeSudan neSomalia, ebhala ngeziganeko zakhe. yeJenali yaMadoda; ngo-2003, waya eBaghdad kwaye wangena kwi-First Marine Expeditionary Force.
Kwakukho uxinzelelo oluninzi lokuqinisekisa ukuba uFox akaphumeleli emfazweni, utshilo umntu ongaphakathi kwi-NBC oqhelene nomsebenzi kaGqirha Arnot. Kodwa, umntu wangaphakathi wathi, i-NBC yayingenabo ababhaleli abafuna ukulwa loo mfazwe. UGqirha Arnot wayezimisele kwaye ekwazi. Uthe ubeke ubomi bakhe emngciphekweni amaxesha amaninzi ngenxa yeMSNBC kunye neNBC News. Kwaye wayenobuhlobo nomkhosi.
Kwimeyile yakhe, uGqirha Arnot watyhila uhlobo lwento anokuyinika i-NBC ukuba angavunyelwa ukuba ahlale: Ekupheleni kwemfazwe ndaye ndarhola uqhaqho ndisindisa intombazana encinci ibethwe yisiqhushumbisi. Njengoko ugqirha otyandayo evala isisu sakhe emva kotyando, ndabuza ukuba umntwana uya kuphila na. Uye wathi, ‘Ewe uzakwenza njalo, ulikamva leIraq.’ Ubuye wasinda kuba injengele yomkhosi wase-US yathatha ibhombu yokuphawula esandleni sayo yajika yamshiya. Intombazana leyo yasinda ngenxa yobuqhawe bayo. Ngokwesicelo sam, Umkhosi wathumela inqwelo ntaka i-Blackhawk ukuba ikhuphe intombazana eneminyaka emine enesiqingatha nge-55 yeepesenti yokutsha ... phantsi komlilo ... kwaye ikhuselwe yimipu emibini ye-Apache. La mabali awazange enze umoya kwi-NBC.
Kwenzeka ntoni ukuba i-NBC ayilunganga [?] Wabhala. Kwenzeka ntoni ukuba le yimbali enempumelelo… eguqula uMbindi Mpuma… ezisa uxolo nokhuseleko eMelika. Bekuyakuthini ukuba indima ye-NBC ibifana naleyo yemidiya ngokubanzi… ivumela abanqolobi ukuba balwe umlo wabo kumabonakude waseMelika, apho amabali abo okufa kunye nokutshatyalaliswa elawula endaweni yamagorha aseMelika?
UGqirha Arnot wathandwa ziinkokheli zomkhosi e-Iraq nakwi-CPA.A. eBaghdad. I-CPA.A ephezulu Igosa lathi uGqirha Arnot wayebonakala, wayekhuthele, uxelele ibali elikhuphisanayo, esongeza ukuba iindaba ze-NBC ziyekile ukunika ingxelo nge-Iraq, zishiya intatheli enye yePentagon, uMnu. Miklaszewski, eBaghdad. I-NBC ayigubungeli ibali lase-Iraq, utshilo umphathi. Azinazo izixhobo ezinzulu emhlabeni. Ukuba benze njalo, bebeza kugubungela ukukhutshwa kwememo kaZarqawi nentatheli emhlabeni, bebhekisa kuxwebhu abathi umkhosi wase-US ubonakalisa ukuvukela okwenziwe ngu-Abu Musab Zarqawi, umgrogrisi owamanyaniswa yi-White House ne-Al Qaeda .
Sele kudlule iinyanga ezintandathu okokoko ulapha uBrokaw, igosa longeze. Kukho amajoni angaphezu kwe-120,000 emhlabeni kwaye akukho bukho be-NBC yokwenyani.
UGqirha Arnot uxelele i-NYTV: Ndihlaselwe amatyeli amaninzi-kube kanye ngemipu, kanye ngamakrele. Ngenye imini yayise-al-Aike Hotel xa yaqhushumba. Akubangakho zintatheli zihlaselwe ngabom. Kwaye ibhombu yayilapha phantsi kwefestile yam. Sihlaselwe ngamakrele ezantsi eNajaf. Kwakungumahluko wemizuzwana eli-10 phakathi kokuqhekezwa…. Ngaphambi nje kweKrisimesi, ndandizaliswe zizixhobo e-Abu Ghraib ezinzulwini zobusuku. Leyo yayiyimeko embi. Yinto eyingozi kakhulu. Umama uthi, 'Andicingi ukuba bubulumko ukuba ube phaya.'
I-imeyile kaGqirha Arnot eya kuMnu Shapiro ibanga ukuba nge-25 kaSeptemba 2003, ibhombu ye-al-Aike Hotel eBaghdad-apho abasebenzi be-NBC babemi khona ngelo xesha-yayijolise ngqo kuye. Ndijoliswe kwizihlandlo ezininzi, wabhala, ekhumbula ibhombu ebekwe ngqo phantsi kwefestile yam kwihotele ye-IKE [sic] ekhokelela kumanxeba aliqela e-shrapnel.
Inzondelelo kaGqirha Arnot ngamathub 'athile yafumana okona kulungileyo kuye, utshilo uNBC News, njengaxa uGqirha Arnot-owathi uyayazi indlela yokuthetha isi-Arabhu-wazama iichops zakhe kwabanye abathengi basevenkile yase-Iraq, ebabuza ukuba bacinga ntoni intetho kaMongameli Bush. U… ebaxelela ukuba uthini uBush ngesiArabhu aze aguqule iimpendulo zabo bahlala emoyeni, utshilo omnye umntu osebenza naye, owathi abaguquleli be-NBC bathi uthetha gibberish.
Ndabuza aba bafana imibuzo ye-ewe-okanye-hayi, kwaye lo mfo waqhubeka nokuqhubeka, watsho uGqirha Arnot. Zininzi iindidi zeArabhu… kwaye ndilungile ukuqonda indlela aziwa ngayo eIraq? Hayi, ndiyoyikeka.
Imithombo ye-NBC yathi xa umfanekiso oqingqiweyo kaSaddam Hussein wabhukuqwa eBaghdad, i-Anchor News Anchor uTom Brokaw walile ukubeka uGqirha Arnot emoyeni, nangona wayeyintatheli ye-NBC. Endaweni yoko, uMnu Brokaw wadlala intatheli yase-Bhritane kwi-arhente yeendaba ebizwa ngokuba yi-ITN. Basebenzise i-ITN, ubulungu babo base-Bhritane… endaweni yomntu obhatalayo kwi-NBC, utshilo umqeshwa we-NBC. Abayisebenzisi ingxelo yakhe kuba abayithembi ingxelo yakhe.
Ngo-Novemba, uGqirha Arnot uxele uthotho lwe-Hardball yase-MSNBC, eIraq: Ibali lokwenyani, inzame yokufumana iindaba ezibizwa ngokuba ziindaba ezimnandi zokuba u-Ambassador L. Paul Bremer III kunye ne-C.P.A. ifumene ukusilela kumajelo eendaba. ICPA.A. Wayexinezeleke kakhulu kukunxibelelana nenethiwekhi kangangokuba umcebisi wakhe omkhulu weendaba, u-Dorrance Smith, wenza urhulumente owahlukileyo-umzamo wokubonelela ngohlobo lwamabali awayewafuna kumdibaniselwano walapha e-U.S.
Umnumzana Smith uxelele i-NYTV ukuba ukhuthaze i-MSNBC ukuba yenze uthotho lwe-Hardball.
UGqirha Arnot wayengenguye umqeshwa wokuqala we-NBC ukukhalaza malunga ne-Iraq. Ngapha koko, uNowa Oppenheim, umvelisi woluhlu lweHardball, umlingisi ozichongeleyo kunye nomenzi welinye ilizwe kwilizwe laseScarborough, wabhala inqaku leThe Standard Week xa ebuyile kwiiveki ezintathu eIraq, esithi iintatheli kunqabile ukuba ziphume Oko kubizwa ngokuba yiGreen Zone eBaghdad, kwaye babamba iingxelo zocingo. Umnumzana u-Oppenheim ushiye i-MSNBC xa umlimi olawulayo weeNdaba zasebusuku uSteve Capus kunye ne-anchor uTom Brokaw ekhalaze esidlangalaleni ukuba inqaku lalibonakala ngokungafanelekanga livela kumvelisi weendaba onxulumene ne-NBC.
Ngelixa ukomelela kukaGqirha Arnot njengentatheli kunokuba phantsi koqwalaselo, ukugxeka kwakhe Iindaba ze-NBC kuya entliziyweni yomcimbi oqhubekayo kweli xesha lonyulo, umbono weendaba ngemfazwe e-Iraq. NgeCawa, ngoFebruwari 8, xa uTim Russert wabuza uMongameli Bush kwi-NBC Yokudibana Namajelo eendaba ukuba ngaba ulawulo lwalungachazanga ukuba siza kuphathwa njani kwaye sifumane njani e-Iraq, uMnu. Bush uphendule ngelithi akavumelani nombuzo wombuzo: Kulungile, mna cinga samkelekile e-Iraq. Andiqinisekanga ncam, xa unikwe ithoni yemibuzo yakho, asikho.
Utshintshiselwano lubonise umgama phakathi kweNdlu eNtshonalanga kunye namajelo eendaba ngendlela eyanikelwa ngayo imfazwe kumaMelika. Babengamadoda amabini abukele iinkqubo ezahlukeneyo zeTV-Mnu. UBush wayenemithombo yakhe, kwaye uMnu.Russert wakubona oko wakubonayo.
Ngokunjalo noGqirha Arnot.
