If you happen to watch CNN, you'll know that the network has become a front for the Clinton Campaign and a bastion for spreading liberal nonsense. Now, a report by one of its own journalists has found that CNN has also taken bribes from foreign countries.
The CNN reporter who blew the lid on this issue was none other than Amber Lyon, formerly employed by CNN and an "award winning reporter." Yesterday, Lyon “blew the cover” on the network’s suspicious business practices.
Lyon claims that CNN "is paid by the U.S. government for reporting on some events, and not reporting on others." Lyon also told us that the network is a tool for the Obama Administration to manipulate the information the American Public gets to see.
Lyon claims that Obama has been controlling what we know through CNN, her former employer.

Lyon's findings suggesting that the network acted as an information filter for the Obama Whitehouse has confirmed the suspicions of many that government corruption reaches far into supposedly non government sectors of America.
A few years ago, Lyon was interviewed by Joe Rogan, and revealed some very shocking testimony concerning her reporting of the 2011 Arab Spring Protests in Bahrain.

During Lyon's interview with Joe Rogan, she explained that she and another female colleague were part of a 4 person team sent by CNN to Bahrain in 2011. Arriving in Bahrain, Lyon noticed something very odd- the United States government had been supplying over $1 billion worth in weaponry- including tear gas- to the oppressive Bahraini regime looking to suppress popular protests in the country.
Lyon was threatened by United States government personnel while staying on a U.S. Navy base in Bahrain. She was told not to report the incident, or face grave consequences.
Instead, CNN told her to be quiet and not report the Bahraini government's suppression of peaceful protests, but was forced to report complete lies.

The Guardian confirms much of Lyon's testimony, and tells us that the CNN journalists themselves were victims of oppression from the Bahraini authorities:
"The CNN crew itself was violently detained by regime agents. As they described it after returning to the US, "20 heavily-armed men", whose faces were "covered with black ski masks", "jumped from military vehicles", and then "pointed machine guns at" the journalists, forcing them to the ground. The regime's security forces seized their cameras and deleted their photos and video footage, and then detained and interrogated them for the next six hours."
Right now, Amber Lyon is trying to get the word out that the Obama Administration and CNN have worked together to support a brutal, repressive regime and silence journalists who are only doing their jobs to report the truth.
Please share this article so that we can raise awareness for the injustices suffered by Amber Lyon, and for the outright corruption in the mainstream media.
If anyone knows recent updates please comment or message me. Thanx
No corruption in the MSM or the Obama administration surprises me. It’s appalling that our “free press” is corrupt. Thank God for the internet, or we’d be absolutely clueless. Pray without ceasing.
Lyon came clean though. The Left intimidates and threatens their own so I’d say she deserves some praise for shining some light on these fascists (accurate description) at CNN.
...something you should be aware of.Advocacy of psychedelic drugs Edit
In early 2014, Lyon launched an advocacy site called reset.me[41] and group for the emotional healing benefits of certain psychedelic drugs, based on her own experience with them, and on her research into the history of their use.[42]..

ATLANTA — Over the last dozen years I made 13 trips to Baghdad to lobby the government to keep CNN’s Baghdad bureau open and to arrange interviews with Iraqi leaders. Each time I visited, I became more distressed by what I saw and heard — awful things that could not be reported because doing so would have jeopardized the lives of Iraqis, particularly those on our Baghdad staff.

Headline says she didn’t know she was on an open mic.
Thats not really coming clean.
They did the same thing during the attack on Libya-
and worse
I have discounted anything CNN reports for a long time. This story confirms my widom
Trump’s been right about CNN all along. LOL!
bookmark
Arab Spring protests in Bahrain were sponsored by Iran.
CNN lies about everything, twenty four seven.
The only interesting questions that remain is why they lie on a particular story.
When we know the answer to that question then we can begin to figure out the truth.

I do not doubt obama paid them to lie. But he wastes his money because they would have lied for free. They are reporers. That is what they do[lie].
In the 90’s CNN had broadcast team vans which sported license plates which were US government tags. I asked the road crew guy at the gas station why? He laughed and said “Do you really need to ask?”

This has all the hallmarks of a fake news story — no links to actual sources, an unknown “news” site, no credible corroboration, has been bouncing around the web with this bad sourcing, etc. — and IMO should be taken down from FR.

HA! You said it all!
