CNN: All The News That's Fit To Hide
What do you do when you're a multi-national corporation, and you discover that one of the nations you do business with is abducting your employees and torturing them for weeks? Demand that it never happen again? Cease operations and withdraw your staff?
Not if your name is CNN. Instead of reporting the barbaric act to the world, you cover it up.
- In the mid-1990's one of our Iraqi cameramen was abducted. For weeks he was beaten and subjected to electroshock torture in the basement of a secret police headquarters because he refused to confirm the government's ludicrous suspicion that [a CNN news executive] was the Central Intelligence Agency's Iraq station chief.
Kind of makes you wonder about CNN news reports coming out of the other "People's Republic's" (read: China, Cuba, Libya, etc.) doesn't it?
