CNN covers up al-Qaeda propagandist involvement in Syria documentary

CNN's documentary Undercover in Syria received the prestigious Peabody Award for excellence in foreign news coverage in 2016 – a fact trumpeted by the network in news releases and in on-air commercials.  Correspondent Clarissa Ward went behind rebel lines in Aleppo to report on Russian involvement in the Syria civil war.

But CNN covered up the name of the individual who filmed most of the documentary.  Bilal Abdul Kareem and his website had been contracted by CNN to shoot the project for the network.  But when award time came, the CNN sort of, kind of forgot the participation of Abdul Kareem and barely mentioned his name in the credits.

Why?  Because Abdul Kareem is one of the top English-language propagandists for al-Nusra, the al-Qaeda offshoot in Syria.

"CNN has a long history of working with unpleasant characters in the Middle East.  Recall the network's secret deal with Saddam Hussein during the first Gulf War.  When every other respectable news outlet in the Western world had been kicked out of Iraq prior to the American invasion, CNN received permission to stay as long as it broadcast Saddam's propaganda."

Yep. CNN turned the other cheek, and ignored Saddam’s atrocities just so they could keep their Baghdad office. They haven’t changed their whoring ways at all.

Saudi Arabia’s jihadists, the “rebels” fighting Assad in Syria, evolved into ISIS.

The Saudis and other allies of Assad’s opponents direct or indirect including the US government and officials like Hillary Clinton, John McCain etc. etc. are also handmaidens of IS.
