Those of you who are regular readers of Natural Newsand your numbers are manymay not always agree with points of view expressed here, but we believe you at least consider us a trustworthy news source, a point driven home by the tens of millions of page views we receive every month.
That said, how much trust would you place in us if, say, we were being paid to put out certain information or relate only a singular point of view? We're guessing that number would be much, much smaller.
Yet that's what one establishment media organizationCNNappears to be doing, according to multiple sources who say the network has begun engaging in a practice of killing stories that portray governments and countries which have become the network's sugar daddies in a bad light.

"Specifically, he notes, CNN aggressively pursued - and then came to rely on - revenue from several Middle East regimes, in order to remain viable, especially after the 2008 economic recession, "which caused the network to suffer significant losses in corporate sponsorships."It has long been known that CNN trash in the U.S.A. has been subsidized by its international affiliates.
Why is MSNBC still on the air with no viewers and high paid teleprompt reading puppets.? What does the MS stand for? Microsoft.

During the first Gulf War CNN was forced to admit the network had an arrangement with Saddam Hussein whereby CNN wouldn’t expose some of Saddam’s atrocities in exchange for exclusive access and interviews.

I wonder how many of our news networks are being influenced by foreign interests who pay big money to influence the news.

Yes. As I recalled he felt somewhat guilty and uncomfortable about CNN becoming a shill for Saddam Hussein. But the rest of CNN management & reporters expressed no such remorse.
To: Olog-hai
No one but a commie would watch CNN so what difference does it make.

CNN is Pravda. Anyone who ever lived with a free press would know that after watching CNN for more than 10 minutes. CNN managed to get itself a monopoly in the airports and even private clubs of the Western world. Disgusting.
