Absolutely. Why pay MSNBC to do what its already doing. I would be like paying a dog to bark.

Answer the who, what, when, why, and how of this statement and you've got something. I imagine weekly meetings between WH staffers and CNN execs, a money trail between the WH and CNN, and the unraveling of the biggest scandal in government second only to the election of Obama. This subject is too hot for anyone in the LSM to go after. Time for the National Enquirer to go to work.
There are a couple of things to consider:
Having an Emmy means almost nothing. It certainly does not equate with honesty. So feel free to dismiss that.
Second, if payments were being made someone at the reporter level would never know about that. The business side of any media organization if far, far, removed from anyone on air. There is an inherent mistrust between the air folks and the “suits.”
Third: the on air folks have NO say about the stories that are aired.
While I want to believe this story...I have too much experience with being around the news business to believe this.
MSNBC was paid directly by the administration. Was a story a month or two back they were paid to run ObamaCare ads.
There’s also a post election plan to dump millions on Hollywood to run episodes of popular tv series to promote ObamaCare.
...”From Ambers interview, her ax to be ground is more of a journalistic ethics one, but Lara definitely is now feeling the hate from her awful experience, and rightfully so. Seems she was told to suck it up and take one for the team. She is pissed and Im sure Becks people are reaching out to both of them.”...
I am thinking we have come to a place where honest journalists are
beginning to take a stand. Their moral principles will not allow them to “look the other way” anymore. I imagine they have also been educated to recognize the patterns which precede dictatorship and war.

Ms Lyon says...
“CNN International is earning money from them, producing what might as well be called infomercials-for-dictators...”
If your business is that people pay to advertise on your media outlet, it becomes a fairly trivial matter to make all manner of payoffs and kickbacks appear perfectly legit. Lyndon Johnson had this figured out half a century ago with KLBJ.
Not to mention the more often talked about, “access in return for favorable treatment” quid pro quo.
This is a BIG DEAL!
This suppression is CRIMINAL!
Copy the Link and send it to KEY members of your e-mail list.
Make it clear that it is IMPORTANT and not spam!
Let them know that they only need watch the first 3 minutes of each of the 3 critical videos, to understand the depth of this manipulation.
Good post.

I heard this woman interviewed by Alex Jones
***************************************
—She was and check out her Facebook. She was also interviewed by RT and the Ahlul Bayt News Agency. She’s pretty pro-Iran and she also made some comments on her Facebook that make her appear anti-Semitic. She also made her own news and I think that is part of the reason CNN let her go—she is more activist than reporter.
I think all the CNN, FOX, ALL of them do some curbing of the news to suit this that and the other person/institution but this woman has an ax to grind. Investigate her before jumping all in with her story...
YOU.. ^@%@!%^#!&... and ..^%$@^$#&$@!!.... How could you.. %@@^#^.. not to mention..^@%^@!%^... because... &%#^@@^.. :)
Kind of like Fast and Furious.
F and F intended to attack 2nd amendment.
Youtube videos intended to attack 1st amendment.
The two rights most dangerous to a wanna be dictator.
Meanwhile, Obama congralulates Hugo Chavez.

I am reminded of that CNN reporter years ago that was reporting on the start of the Iraq War from Saddam Hussein’s headquarters. He did something outrageous but can’t remember now the particulars or the man’s name. He doesn’t work there anymore but he was hanging out with the human shields or something and gave away troop movements or something(not Geraldo and his stupidity). I will see if I can find it.
More than likely S. Hussein was paying CNN way back then too.

It was Peter Arnett:
Interview in Iraq
On assignment for NBC and National Geographic, Arnett went to Iraq in 2003 to cover the U.S. invasion. After a press meeting there he granted an interview to state-run Iraq TV on March 31, 2003, in which he stated:
Now America is reappraising the battlefield, delaying the war against Iraq, maybe a week and rewriting the war plan. The first plan has failed because of Iraqi resistance. Now they are trying to write another plan
So our reports about civilian casualties here, about the resistance of the Iraqi forces, are going back to the United States. It helps those who oppose the war when you challenge the policy to develop their arguments.
Peter Arnett [11]
When Arnett’s remarks sparked a “firestorm of protest”, NBC initially defended him, saying he had given the interview as a professional courtesy and that his remarks were “analytical in nature”. A day later, though, NBC, MSNBC and National Geographic all severed their relationships with Arnett.[12]
In response to Arnett’s statement on Iraqi TV, the corporation stated:
It was wrong for Mr. Arnett to grant an interview with state-controlled Iraqi TV, especially at a time of war and it was wrong for him to discuss his personal observations and opinions.
Arnett responded:
My stupid misjudgment was to spend fifteen minutes in an impromptu interview with Iraqi television. I said in that interview essentially what we all know about the war, that there have been delays in implementing policy, there have been surprises.
Peter Arnett
Later that day, Arnett was hired by the British tabloid, The Daily Mirror, which had opposed the war. A couple of days later he was also assigned to Greek television channel NET television, and Belgian VTM.
