HOw much does the DNC and Bamma pay????
Old news. CNN’s Eason Jordan admitted this is 2003.
So, CNN has finally decided protection rackets are the best way to prop up a failing business model.
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.
Bump
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.

It was obvious for me that CNN was paid not only by “dictators” but by muslim emirates....They are islam very friendly and airing many advertisings from Qatar , Dubai...and so on ;....
And they support obviously the muslim in the WH
Are these some of the same people who gave Mr. Obama $188 million dollars last month?
VERY interesting, if true.
I’m not sure if it is a disgruntled employee or what...
Ex-CNN reporter: “Major US media ‘constantly demonizing’ Iran, Syria”
A former reporter of the CNN says the US-based network and other American mainstream media are engaged in the constant demonization of Iran and Syria.
Ex-CNN reporter: “Major US media
(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - “There is constant demonization of Syria, Iran and other countries on the US mainstream media,” Amber Lyon said in an exclusive interview with Russia Today on Friday.
I think this is an overall really harmful to journalism [sic] theme of these mainstream outlets following in the steps of US government and kind of shadowing how the US government feel about these areas.
Lyon went on to say that Iran, in particular, is regularly demonized by mainstream US media outlets, describing the attitude as dangerous to the American public because they are not being given the accurate story and accurate picture of our foreign policy.
I fear that we are starting to see a constant demonization of Iran on US networks, she said, in what appears to be a systematic matter.
The American journalist pointed to emerging concerns among many [US] journalist that we are going to head into Iraq-Number-Two, except this time its with Iran.
Lyon also said that CNN was bribed by Bahrains regime to censor a documentary on its brutal crackdown on popular protests.
The former CNN correspondent produced the documentary on the brutal suppression of nationwide protests in the Persian Gulf kingdom over six months ago and although it was aired domestically within the US, its broadcast on CNN International was suspiciously withheld, raising charges that the management of the mainstream TV network had pulled the plug on the news story.
During the interview Lyon also revealed that CNN gets paid by despotic regimes to produce and broadcast what she referred to as infomercials for dictators, saying that the sponsored content of such pieces aired on CNN International is actually being paid for by regimes and governments.
This violates every principle of journalistic ethics, because were supposed to be watchdogs on these governments, she added. And thats the issue here, that CNN is feeding, then, this propaganda to the public and not fairly disclosing to the public that this is sponsored content.
She further noted that other than some Persian Gulf Arab regimes, CNN has also produced such sponsored infomercials for governments of Georgia and Kazakhstan.
Lyon also elaborated on the hurdles she faced in Bahrain while trying to produce her news documentary, including an instance when she sneaked into some of the villages to witness atrocities such as shooting fleeing hospital patients by birdshot and beating of ambulance drivers, after which she was violently detained by masked and heavily armed Bahraini security forces who attempted to erase all the video that they found [on us].
The US journalist then insisted that she and her female producer had to hide some discs to get them out of the country.
You can imagine Bahrains surprise when we got back to the US and this content was airing on CNN, and right after that is when the phone calls started coming into the network complaining about me and trying to get my coverage off the air, she said.

Domestic dictators get this service for free.
I think they are talking about CNN International which is much worse than CNN, as bad as that is domestically.
If US companies can get prosecuted for bribing foreign officials, why doesn’t CNN for accepting them?
