Amid a violent crackdown on a popular uprising, Bahrain paid CNN to get favorable coverage, says a former reporter who believes her documentary on the protests there was censored by the network.

­Former CNN journalist Amber Lyon made the documentary more than six months ago. It was aired domestically in the US, but never made it to CNN international, raising claims that the management pulled the plug on the story. RT spoke to Lyon to get the full story of what happened.

So thankful this young lady came forward with this film..What she is saying is more proof of not being told and shown the truth of what is happening in other countries..

 

There is an account about when Hagar was pregnant with Abrahams seed, Ishmael..An angel told Hagar that because she was carrying Abrahams seed, He, Ishmael, would be the father of a great nation, but they would be wild asses of men, brother against brother.." My heart is to "see these wild asses of men" stubborn to change, quick to fight and destroying human Peace everyone on this planet is Divinely Decreed to have, will see there is no need to fight and kill to bring about Peace and LOVE on this planet...NOW!

 

It's a real shame CNN is connected with Bahraini gov't to present what is not there yet...Why send reporters to a country if the truth is not going to be presented for the GOOD of ALL! NOW! Peace, Joy, Light, TRUTH, and most of all LOVE! NOW! :) <3
