Karl Penhaul

We also heard from anon emailer who wanted us to share this:

"Recently CNN's Cal Perry and Karl Penhaul won the Edward R. Murrow award for "Continuing Coverage: CNN, Coverage of the Middle East Conflict" -- they won for their coverage in Tyre, Lebanon. They were the only journalists from any news network in Southern Lebanon for the first five days of the war last summer. Karl Penhaul did a lot of amazing live coverage, Cal Perry wrote four very moving articles -- search "cal perry, tyre lebanon" on cnn.com, or the same for Karl Penhaul.

I think it's really great that they won the award, but I wish more writers and bloggers would acknowledge that it was these two who won the award, and not just CNN. CNN's coverage is always hit or miss for me. Except for a few, reporting out of the middle east, who are almost always on point, and always challenging the norm that is the usual CNN reporting. Karl Penhaul, Michael Ware, Cal Perry, Ben Weideman, Christianne Amanpour are tops. I don't think CNN should get all of the credit. "

*Congratulations to these guys!*
