Perhaps this one of the most important discussion threads ever regarding Legacy Media manipulation. We sincerely hope you will take the time to digest the content, think about the ramifications to what is here, and then share the information with others.
This is not a matter of opinion, the CNN stories are documented, attributed and cited. They are factual. Everything is verifiable within the embedded links and citations.
Believe it or not, just creating this discussion thread is risky. We are unable to expand.
Before getting to the CNN Amber Lyon expose (which is incredible and troubling) lets first back up a moment and take you back to a previous video we shared surrounding recent events.
In this first video from Canada the topic is the Libyan US Consulate Bombing and the US Egyptian Embassy being overrun. While the topic of Egypt is a component of the issue, it is not our central concern.
The central issue is Media Controlled by The Obama Administration, and more specifically CNN as a VERIFIED tool for propaganda and disinformation.
Within this Canadian video report you will find footage of a CNN story on Egypt and Mohammed Al Zawahiri. It was produced by well-known CNN Journalist Nick Robertson. The entire video is excellent, but the pertinent aspect is at the 1:30 mark.
In the previous thread I asked two central questions. The Second Question was:
Why would CNN [or CNNi] refuse to air the Nick Robertson report with Muhammed Al Zawahiri (brother of Ayman Al Zawahiri) that clearly shows the Egyptian uprising was 100% in response to his call for protests for release of the Blind sheik on 9-11.? Why would the most trusted name in news, hide the report showing the truth, and instead allow the false narrative to be sold, by them, to the American electorate?
Amber Lyon provides the answer(s).
CNN never aired the Nick Robertson report in Egypt because it completely contradicted President Obama and Hillary Clintons assertions. In short, the Robertson report, if aired, would have proved Obama and Clinton were lying.
The Nick Robertson CNN report was filmed on 9/9 and, by coincidence, it would have aired at the exact moment Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama began attributing the Egyptian embassy protest to a U-Tube Video.
CNNs refusal to air the real reasoning for the Egyptian Embassy protest turned assault was intentional protection of President Obama, specifically orchestrated by the CNN News group, at the behest of the White House. Specific, intentional, lying.
Apparently they have a history of this no-one knew about. UNTIL NOW.
Amber Lyon is an award-winning journalist who worked for CNN.
She says she was ordered to report fake stories, delete unfriendly stories adverse to the Obama administration (like the Nick Robertson report), and construct stories in specific manners while working for the left-wing network.
CNN is paid by foreign and domestic Government agencies for specific content.
Let me repeat that. CNN is paid by the US government for reporting on some events, and not reporting on others. The Obama Administration pays CNN for content control.
Let that sink in. Additionally CNN and CNN International are also paid by foreign governments to avoid stories that are damaging, and construct narratives that show them in a better, albeit false, light.
Amber Lyon is a three-time Emmy winning investigative journalist and photographer. She accuses CNN of being fake news.
Back in March 2011, CNN sent a four person team to Bahrain to cover the Arab Spring. Once there, the crew was the subject of extreme intimidation amongst other things, but they were able to record some fantastic footage. As Glenn Greenwald of the UKs Guardian writes in his blockbuster article from September 4th 2012:
In the segment, Lyon interviewed activists as they explicitly described their torture at the hands of government forces, while family members recounted their relatives abrupt disappearances. She spoke with government officials justifying the imprisonment of activists. And the segment featured harrowing video footage of regime forces shooting unarmed demonstrators, along with the mass arrests of peaceful protesters. In sum, the early 2011 CNN segment on Bahrain presented one of the starkest reports to date of the brutal repression embraced by the US-backed regime.
Despite these accolades, and despite the dangers their own journalists and their sources endured to produce it, CNN International (CNNi) never broadcast the documentary. Even in the face of numerous inquiries and complaints from their own employees inside CNN, it continued to refuse to broadcast the program or even provide any explanation for the decision. To date, this documentary has never aired on CNNi.
Having just returned from Bahrain, Lyon says she saw first-hand that these regime claims were lies, and I couldnt believe CNN was making me put what I knew to be government lies into my reporting.
Here is a segment of the Bahrain report that Amber Lyon and her team put together. CNNi refused to allow it to air because the Bahrain Government had paid them not to show it.
When Amber Lyon recognized the extent of the reasoning, she challenged CNN. CNN told her to be quiet, and began to view her as a risk. She knew, and found out, too much.
Amber is now trying to tell the story, the real story, of what is going on behind the closed doors of US Media entities. Amber has created her own website, and additionally as noted in the Guardian Article she is trying to share the truth of the deceptions.
What Amber Lyon describes is exactly the reason why CNN never aired the Nick Robertson interview with Muhammed Al Zawahiri in Egypt.
Amber recently did a web interview with Alex Jones on InfoWars. Generally the TreeHouse does not appreciate Alex Jones. He is wound up tighter than piano wire, and unfortunately much of his truth is diminished because of the hype he places upon it.
Alex Jones is easy to disregard as a conspiracy theorist, not because of what he says, but because of how he says it. Everything is desperate and dangerous with him.
That said, the words and explanations of Ms. Lyon in the discussion/interview are poignant and vastly informative. So I share the video with you so you can hear from Amber herself exactly what is being described and articulated.
It is critical to listen to what she says, not just about Bahrain but also about what the Obama administration is specifically doing. Just try to overlook the Alex Jones-ism, and focus on what Amber Lyon is sharing.
We can only hope.
It's difficult in times like these: ideals, dreams and cherished hopes rise within us, only to be crushed by grim reality. It's a wonder I haven't abandoned all my ideals, they seem so absurd and impractical. Yet I cling to them because I still believe, in spite of everything, that people are truly good at heart. I simply can't build my hopes on a foundation of confusion, misery, and death. I hear the approaching thunder that, one day, will destroy us too, I feel the suffering of millions. And yet, when I look up at the sky, I somehow feel that this cruelty too shall end, and that peace & tranquility will return once again. - Anne Frank 1944 -
Lou has too much intergity to remain at a propaganda network like CNN. I suspect a similar exit reason for Glen Beck from CNN and subsequently from Fox.
Not to mention the millions of dollars the networks reap in political ads during election years. Why do you think they try so desperately to keep the race neck and neck in the polls? It keeps the ad dollars flowing in. There is a very unhealthy symbiotic relationship between the dominant media and the political class.
If Glenn Beck had went to Fox Business he would have lasted longer there, but then we wouldn’t have had the Blaze...

BUMP!
I had the same thought, but all that I could find were accusations that Jack Welch was in the tank for Bush because Rove told him that Bush would deregulate the air waves. Salon accused Welch of feeding private polling numbers that weren’t available to the other media to NBC, allowing NBC to call Florida for Bush at the exact same time as FOX news.
In other words, there is no evidence that Bush did the same thing.
I believe the rest of it, just not the money. I can’t see any news agency actually selling their integrity. CNN would do it for free.
After reading from your article the following: CNNs refusal to air the real reasoning for the Egyptian Embassy protest turned assault was intentional protection of President Obama, specifically orchestrated by the CNN News group, at the behest of the White House. Specific, intentional, lying. I remembered seeing this 2 days ago.
I thought just conspiracy theory, tin foil hat kind of thing.
Did Obama deliberately try to stage a hostage takin in Benghazi as an October Surprse PR stunt that blew up in his face?
The plan if you were paying attention was set in motion at the Democrats convention in Charlotte in early September when repeated mentions of Obama as a foreign policy president were made.
This was timed to lead up to September 11th when deliberately lowered security at the Benghazi consulate (and OTHER consulates and embassies in the Mideast) was supposed to encourage Muslims to take Americans hostage like they did in 1979. Only, Obamas plan was to negotiate their quick released by trading the Blind Sheik from the 1993 World Trade Center bombings for any Americans taken hostage on 9/11/2012.
The plan was to make Obama look like a badass and a to have him revel in this through October and into the November election. In fact, the hostages were probably planned for release not long before the Foreign Policy Debate (the last of the three presidential debates this year) in Boca Raton, Florida.
This was supposed to show Obama standing up to Muslims, negotiating peace, and proving to the world what an effective and strong leader he was.
Only it blew up in his face and the administration has been in overdrive trying to cover this stuff up ever since.
The only way any of this makes any sense, including the deliberate lowering of security and the disregard of Ambassador Chris Stevens multiple pleas for help on the ground in Libya in the weeks prior to his murder, is that Barack Obama WANTED a hostage situation to happen so he could look presidential by resolving it in October but the Muslims in Libya went overboard and killed people instead of just taking them hostage.
This also explains why no effort was made to even look for the Ambassador and others missing from the consulate for many hours: Obamas gang just assumed he was taken hostage as planned and were STUNNED to learn the ambassador was murdered.
Yes....I hope that her website is a huge success. You probably know this but she is the same reporter that was gang raped and sodomized while covering the Egyptian so called uprising.
These people are barbarians and we had better start treating them like barbarians. They understand nothing but brute force.
Scratch that..wrong reporter.

I guess we are reduced to depending on Pravda, some British and Canadian papers, and the Nat’l Enquirer for truth these days.
very sick when you consider we are still funding these groups and governments that wish us harm at the request of the prez and state department. Hillary talked about the bogus video at the memorial service of the victims from the embassy. Obama had the video producer arrested.
DHS has turned its focus on monitoring American citizens...especially veterans, tea party conservatives
Shocked! Shocked! ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZT! Shocked!
So if CNN is for sale, then why hasn’t Israel bought a piece? Can’t outbid the Saudis?
UH - THIS WAS NOT A PRE-PLANNED ATTACK!. . . . . . . . . . |
Funny one Carlo!
I have been on two military bases in Virginia, so I can't speak for all of them...however...
On those bases, CNN is the network that is on the TV's in all the "public" locations, like in the clinic waiting areas, eating areas, shopping areas, etc. And you cannot change the channel. Why does our military chose to broadcast CNN's "news?" to our military personnel and their families and visitors? More brainwashing going on?
CNN, an extortion racket.
