Ex-CNN Journalist Amber Lyon Turned Whistleblower: ‘CNN Produces Infomercials For Dictators’
Common Sense Evaluation ^

Posted on 02/26/2017 4:41:01 AM PST by gaggs

Amber Lyon, a former CNN correspondent, says authoritarian regimes including Bahrain pay the news network to provide favorable coverage and censor its content.

Instead of watch-dogging governments around the world, CNN is earning money from them, producing what might as well be called ‘Infomercials for Dictators’, sponsored shows and content that cast a positive light on some of the world’s most oppressive regimes.

CNN is the image of evil. Look who they hire to be the faces of their empire. Empty, ugly, vessels of destruction.

If ATT buys Time Warner, it picks up CNN unless the federal government requires CNN to be divested.

CNN’s ratings could be greatly improved if the network became less of a progressive propaganda vehicle. New corporate ownership, focused on the bottom line, might result in Jeff Zucker being replaced as head of CNN and a more pragmatic business executive taking charge.

With Fox moving left under management of the Murdoch sons, the opportunity exists for CNN to move the middle, start doing balanced reporting and real investigative journalism.

Fox News is alienating its audience and MSNBC owns the far left. CNN under new ownership and management has the opportunity to become a true “fair and balanced” network. Will ATT, or another new owner seize the opportunity? If ATT is forced to divest CNN to gain approval of the Time Warner acquisition, will a conservative billionaire buy CNN and change its news format? Stay tuned.

CNN admits to COVERING UP atrocities by Muslim dictator so it can get access to him!
CNN's Iraq Cover up:

n a shocking New York Times opinion piece, CNN’s chief news executive Eason Jordan has admitted that for the past decade the network has systematically covered up stories of Iraqi atrocities. Reports of murder, torture, and planned assassinations were suppressed in order to maintain CNN’s Baghdad bureau.

Read Jordan’s op-ed at:

Perhaps, China could purchase CNN and make the initials-CNN- meaningful and accurate.

CNN had a deal with Saddam Hussein before Baghdad fell, too. They are a PR agency for tyrants all over the world, but at home in the USA, they work for the Democrat Party pro bono. They are #1 in Fake News.

CNN worked as Saddam Hussein’s henchmen for nearly a decade and later admitted to as much.

CNN has declared this to be ‘fake news’ and if you should know of anyone believing it you should report them to the secret police or a CNN journalist.
