At some point in time the standard of proof has been reduced to a single accusation and a news article completely devoid of facts.
I'm not saying this didn't happen or isn't happening, but this article states (a) that a documententry was made and that (b) CNN failed to air it - but then draws an imaginary connection between CNN and the US government, claiming the US government paid CNN not to air the article. No one in the government is named by this article, no department was named, no dates, no amounts, etc... Who paid who how much to do what?
But then the article says at the very end "CNN refused to allow it to air because the Bahrain Government had paid them not to show it." So which is it? Was it the US government, the Bahrain government, and once we figure out which country, shouldn't have some names of who did what and how much money traded hands?
Don't get me wrong... I don't know much about Bahrain and I wouldn't be surprised if they did in fact pay off people at CNN not to air something, but we need a little proof dont' we?
