CNN Exposed – Emmy Winning Former CNN Journalist, Amber Lyon, Blows The Whistle

Perhaps this one of the most important discussion threads ever regarding Legacy Media manipulation. We sincerely hope you will take the time to digest the content, think about the ramifications to what is here, and then share the information with others.

This is not a matter of opinion, the CNN stories are documented, attributed and cited. They are factual. Everything is verifiable within the embedded links and citations.

Believe it or not, just creating this discussion thread is risky. We are unable to expand.

Before getting to the CNN Amber Lyon expose’ (which is incredible and troubling) let’s first back up a moment and take you back to a previous video we shared surrounding recent events.

In this first video from Canada the topic is the Libyan US Consulate Bombing and the US Egyptian Embassy being overrun. While the topic of Egypt is a ‘component’ of the issue, it is not our central concern.

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

Within this Canadian video report you will find footage of a CNN story on Egypt and Mohammed Al Zawahiri. It was produced by well-known CNN Journalist Nick Robertson. The entire video is excellent, but the pertinent aspect is at the 1:30 mark.

In the previous thread I asked two central questions. The Second Question was:

Why would CNN [or CNNi] refuse to air the Nick Robertson report with Muhammed Al Zawahiri (brother of Ayman Al Zawahiri) that clearly shows the Egyptian uprising was 100% in response to his call for protests for release of the Blind sheik on 9-11.?

Why would the “most trusted name in news“, hide the report showing the truth, and instead allow the false narrative to be sold, by them, to the American electorate?

Amber Lyon provides the answer(s).

CNN never aired the Nick Robertson report in Egypt because it completely contradicted President Obama and Hillary Clinton’s assertions. In short, the Robertson report, if aired, would have proved Obama and Clinton were lying.

The Nick Robertson CNN report was filmed on 9/9 and, by coincidence, it would have aired at the exact moment Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama began attributing the Egyptian embassy protest to a “U-Tube Video”.

CNN’s refusal to air the real reasoning for the Egyptian Embassy protest turned assault was intentional protection of President Obama, specifically orchestrated by the CNN News group, at the behest of the White House. Specific, intentional, lying.

Apparently they have a history of this no-one knew about. UNTIL NOW.

Amber Lyon is an award-winning journalist who worked for CNN.

She says she was ordered to report fake stories, delete unfriendly stories adverse to the Obama administration (like the Nick Robertson report), and construct stories in specific manners while working for the left-wing network.

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

Let me repeat that. 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.

Let that sink in. Additionally CNN and CNN International are also paid by foreign governments to avoid stories that are damaging, and construct narratives that show them in a better, albeit false, light.

Amber Lyon is a three-time Emmy winning investigative journalist and photographer. She accuses CNN of being “fake news.”

Back in March 2011, CNN sent a four person team to Bahrain to cover the Arab Spring. Once there, the crew was the subject of extreme intimidation amongst other things, but they were able to record some fantastic footage. As Glenn Greenwald of the UK’s Guardian writes in his blockbuster article from September 4th 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 couldn’t believe CNN was making me put what I knew to be government lies into my reporting.”

Here is a segment of the Bahrain report that Amber Lyon and her team put together. CNNi refused to allow it to air because the Bahrain Government had paid them not to show it.

When Amber Lyon recognized the extent of the reasoning, she challenged CNN. CNN told her to be quiet, and began to view her as a risk. She knew, and found out, too much.

Amber is now trying to tell the story, the real story, of what is going on behind the closed doors of US Media entities. Amber has created her own website, and additionally as noted in the Guardian Article she is trying to share the truth of the deceptions.

What Amber Lyon describes is exactly the reason why CNN never aired the Nick Robertson interview with Muhammed Al Zawahiri in Egypt.

Amber recently did a web interview with Alex Jones on InfoWars. Generally the TreeHouse does not appreciate Alex Jones. He is wound up tighter than piano wire, and unfortunately much of his truth is diminished because of the hype he places upon it.

Alex Jones is easy to disregard as a “conspiracy theorist”, not because of what he says, but because of how he says it. Everything is desperate and dangerous with him.

That said, the words and explanations of Ms. Lyon in the discussion/interview are poignant and vastly informative. So I share the video with you so you can hear from Amber herself exactly what is being described and articulated.

It is critical to listen to what she says, not just about Bahrain but also about what the Obama administration is specifically doing. Just try to overlook the Alex Jones-ism, and focus on what Amber Lyon is sharing.

Am I to believe that CNN is guilty of wrong-doing based on the word of just one person? This particular accusation is mud slinging at best.

Now, I do have one complaint about CNN. It's website features a story about voice actors that I consider to be poorly written.

I dont think this surprises anyone!

A Media controlled for propaganda?

Oh no, that could never happen.

This story pertains more to CNN International and the fact that they are paid by governments to produce stories that shine their countries in a positive light.

The Guardian has done some reporting on the fact that Lyon and her coverage of the Bahrain demonstrations were not broadcast by CNNI because the government of Bahrain pays a hefty sum to CNNI.

CNNI produces programming that they purport as news, but in actuality is paid for advertising by the government of the country they are supposedly reporting on.

It is clear that after Lyon escaped Bahrain and produced a documentary called IRevolution, CNNI caught hell from the government of Bahrain and Lyon's documentary was never shown.

This certainly calls into question CNNI's creditability and whether or not it can be labeled a fair and unbiased news source or simply a paid programming infomercial propaganda outlet.

Now the question is whether or not CNN proper is involved in the same sort of masquerading as journalists while being paid for content.

Just a few things all News reports go after;

Ratings, advertisers, their favorite politician.

They will all suppress news that investors don't want published.

It's mostly about the money then, it's their anti-moral agenda.

Moral, being, tell the truth no matter what the cost or who's feelings might get hurt or seen in a bad light.

CNN = Al Jazeera

Not true. Lyons documentary was shown on CNN. It was not shown on CNN INTERNATIONAL. These are two difference mediums. Her documentary was shown, and it was made for CNN NOT CNN International. This is what CNN is saying.

CNN International (CNNI) is CNN's international English language television network that carries news, current affairs, politics, sports, opinions, features and business programming worldwide. CNN is one of the world's largest news organizations. It is owned by Turner Broadcasting System, a subsidiary of Time Warner.

CNN International is available in most countries, distributed via satellite, cable, IPTV and DTT. Its international reach is more than 200 million households and hotel rooms in over 200 countries. For most viewers it is free-to-air, though some pay TV companies include it in their pay TV packages, or issue a virtual channel to the FTA version on the same satellite. Starting late 2010, the domestic version CNN/U.S., is available in high definition to viewers in Japan under the name CNN HD. The CNN U.S. domestic version (both SD and HD) is also available on Greater China-based satellite service DishHD (subsidiary of DishTV in US).

The current managing director of CNN International is Tony Maddox.[1]

The early years

CNN International, in large part a result of Ted Turner's Globalization ideals, began transmissions on January 1, 1985 at first primarily broadcasting to American business travelers in hotels. The early studios in Atlanta were tucked away in various corners of the CNN Center, and the newsroom lacked even a digital clock. The vast majority of the network's programming originally consisted of simulcasts of the two domestic CNN channels (CNN/US and Headline News). In 1990, however, the amount of news programming produced by CNNI especially for international viewers increased significantly. A major new newsroom and studio complex was built in 1994, as CNN decided to compete against BBC World Service Television's news programming. CNNI emerged as an internationally oriented news channel, with staff members of various national backgrounds, even though some accusations of a pro-U.S. editorial bias persist. CNN International was awarded the Liberty Medal on July 4, 1997. Ted Turner, in accepting the medal on behalf of the network, said: "My idea was, we're just going to give people the facts... We didn't have to show liberty and democracy as good, and show socialism or totalitarianism as bad. If we just showed them both the way they were ... clearly everybody's going to choose liberty and democracy."[2]

New international era (1995-2006)

In 1995, creative director Morgan Almeida defines a progressive re-branding strategy, to target CNNI's diverse global market, making the on-air look less overtly American and with a cleaner, simpler "international" aesthetic going forwards. The word International is replaced with a globe, and the new branding features numerous international locations filmed in time-lapse, channel idents created in CGI with Velvet Design in Munich, and a news brand designed with The Attik in New York.[3]

One is Ted's,the other one Turner's!

I didn't mention CNN one fning time before the last sentence and I would like to know where in that sentence I typed they didn't show it.

"This story pertains more to CNN International"

The first part of the first sentence..

WTF

Sorry, that should not have been attached to your post, but the Open Post that confuses CNN with CNNI.

I'm sure that they are 'connected' in some way, but their excuse is that they never meant to put her story on CNNI and that it was for CNN only.

You have to take anything reported on any major news network with a grain of salt and use your own judgement, combined with internet research to decipher truth from propaganda. It's a known fact that Fox News is full of b.s. but they're all bought and sold in my opinion. The only one that I give any credibility to is Free Speech T.V., which is non-profit and not owned by a big media outlet. Unfortunately though, it's only available on Dish Network.

Aim them at the Topic only.

I have watched free speech tv on dish and enjoyed it. Major news networks such as cnn must post results and profits for stock holders so they go after the more sexier angle to news.
