CNN Journalist Reveals Governments Pay Us To Fake Stories [VIDEO] Three-time Emmy award winning journalist Amber Lyon has just come forward with claims that CNN has been paid by the Obama Administration and foreign governments to report on events. Lyons also claims that the United States government maintains a level of editorial control over some of their content. As Jews News reported, CNN once sent a crew to Bahrain to cover the Arab Spring, where they were able to record some great footage. Glenn Greenwald of the UKs Guardian wrote the following article in September of 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. Amber Lyon and her team also put together a segment that CNN did not let them air. Reportedly, the Bahrain Government paid them not to show it. What do you think? Does this explain a lot about journalism in the United States?
