CNN - Bribed by Governments for Editorial Control
« on: August 27, 2013, 03:14:12 PM »
Really now, who'd have thought!  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.

"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

Remember the uproar over Bush and the editorial content favorable to his faith based initiatives program?  Who was it, Armstrong Williams?  Think there'll be a similar outrage now????

That link be evil, opened up a bunch of tabs...

BOT - So, the Corrupt News Network caught red-handed being statist bitches...I'm shocked, SHOCKED that paid for propaganda is going on in the MFM!

OK, not that shocked...

Amber better recall what happened to Michael Hastings...one does not go against the Democrat-Media Complex and expect a full life expectency.

Surprised though they cannot game their numbers better...I guess there is a limit to how many sprinkles you can put on a turd!

Hmmm, no extra tabs for me.   ;)

This story is a year old, now.  I read about it when Greenwald covered it, I believe.  This also old news in regard to how we know now that CNN was also Saddam's little b**ch.

No, nobody was outraged.  Nor will anybody become outraged.  Low information America revels in it low information status.
