Politico is not the only major news outlet to come under fire for biased reporting.

According to Amber Lyon, a three-time Emmy award-winning journalist, “CNN is routinely paid by the US government and foreign governments to selectively report on certain events and make up fake news stories. The Obama administration also pays CNN for editorial control over some of their content.”

In March of 2011, CNN assigned several reporters to cover the Arab Spring in Bahrain. The reporters were subject to extreme intimidation while there but managed to capture some incredible footage.

“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,” said Glenn Greenwald of the UK Guardian.
