CNN lies?

[MacMattico]

Just think what’s going on over at MSNBC.

No wait, they’re so inept they can’t even hide the lying.

Amber Lyon = Winston Smith
Hopefully a happier ending.

" The central issue is Media Controlled by The Obama Administration, and more specifically CNN – as a VERIFIED tool for propaganda and disinformation. "


On the day of the September 11th attack on the US Embassy in Cairo:

" The Embassy of the United States in Cairo condemns the continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims -- as we condemn efforts to offend believers of all religions. Today, the 11th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States, Americans are honoring our patriots and those who serve our nation as the fitting response to the enemies of democracy. Respect for religious beliefs is a cornerstone of American democracy. We firmly reject the actions by those who abuse the universal right of free speech to hurt the religious beliefs of others. "


Politico cites an unnamed administration official saying:

"The statement by Embassy Cairo was not cleared by Washington and does not reflect the views of the United States government."

I heard this woman interviewed by Alex Jones last week and she sounded extremely credible, but didn’t link the accompanying article at the time since FR treats anything originating from Jones’ websites as fringe conspiracy theory stuff.

And the Left calls Fox News “Faux News,” another classic case of projection as ordered by Saul Alinsky in “Rules for Radicals.”

CNN is the Leftists’ “Controlled News Network.” It should be deleted from everyone’s cable and satellite access lists, and its sponsors should be notified that their money is being used to further propaganda from the Left.

This is really beyond belief...Nic Robertson about to report on the facts in Cairo and the report was squelched by CNN.

Doesn’t anyone remember this?

Only it was Saddam directing CNN on what to report back then.

At my own personal risk can I ask the question - Is there any mention in reports from this source that the previous administration did the same thing or is it just the Obama adminsitration who are paying CNN for favorable comment?

CNN is paid by foreign and domestic Government agencies for specific content.

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.

Ms Lyon says...

“CNN International is earning money from them, producing what might as well be called ‘infomercials-for-dictators...”
