CNN reporter alleges CNN accepted money from Bahrain to ignore oppression
Breaking here in the U.S. are allegations thatCNN and its CNN’s international arm engaged in accepting money from oppressive Islamic nations such as Bahrain to promote flattering reporting instead of the oppression the regime has engaged in against its citizens. CNN International also denied showing a documentary about Bahrain and its oppression on its people.
According to the allegations, former Emmy winning CNN correspondent Amber Lyonblew the whistle despite being threatened of being fired by CNN management.
The story first broke by the UK’s “theGuardian” and picked up yesterday by U.S. based, Mario Murillo Ministriespresenting the bias lean of CNN’s agenda-based decisions.
Last year when the Arab Spring began and was spreading throughout the Middle East, Lyons and three other CNN crew members went to Bahrain to film a one-hour documentary depicting the use of social media and the internet by pro-democracy activists in the region. Those who spoke with Lyon’s and her crew were dealt with retaliations.
Lyons and her crew were also detained and interrogated for several hours. Their photos from their cameras were destroyed by the Bahrain security forces who detained them. However, the documentary survived.
