CNN Televises Turkish Protest All Day, Ignores Washington Scandals Completely
I’m just flabbergasted that CNN, a 24 hr news station has aired live the Turkish protests ALL Day, and not once have they broken in with any news on the NSA, IRS, Benghazi scandals, or the new revelations about the state dept sex scandal,, etc.
I usually watch CNN, because I can’t stand the warmonger machine Fox News, but I had to turn to them today, because they were at least covering some of the relevant news stories today…
I find the timing of these Turkish ‘protests’ highly suspicious. They are protesting over the development of a square, but from what I’ve seen, it looks like a bunch of agent provoceteurs. This is just like Egypt, staged demonstrations, with 24 hr news coverage, to cover up the real domestic issues taking place, right here in America.
Turkey is a good pal of the US govt, with one our our most strategic middle east bases Incirlik Air Force base located in the sourth of the country. CNN is reporting how free the country is, but it is reported that more reporters are jailed in Turkey than in Iran. or Iraq. Yet this is a govt that the US gives millions to Turkey every year. Why? Name one country that gives the US any financial aid, ever…
Meanwhile, congress met in secret with the NSA on the Hill today.
“The very word “secrecy” is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths and secret proceedings. We decided long ago that the dangers of excessive and unwarranted concealment of pertinent facts far outweighed the dangers which are cited to justify it. Even today, there is little value in opposing the threat of a closed society by imitating its arbitrary restrictions. Even today, there is little value in insuring the survival of our nation if our traditions do not survive with it. And there is very grave danger that an announced need for increased security will be seized upon those anxious to expand its meaning to the very limits of official censorship and concealment. That I do not intend to permit to the extent that it is in my control. And no official of my Administration, whether his rank is high or low, civilian or military, should interpret my words here tonight as an excuse to censor the news, to stifle dissent, to cover up our mistakes or to withhold from the press and the public the facts they deserve to know.”

In all their coverage have they revealed that it was one of Turkey’s bigwigs that was the last person to visit Christopher Stevens before the Benghazi attack? Or have they shed light on who these protestors are, their nationality? Just wondering, I stopped watching CNN years ago. I doubt they even know or will report the REAL reason for the protest. I seriously doubt it’s all about the square.
