CNN Censors US soldiers remarks on US Military Foreign Policy<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

TV censorship prior to US presidential election at its ‘finest’: CNN censored an US soldier, when the veteran stresses it would be more dangerous for USA starting caviling wars with more countries.<\/h1>\n

Washington \/ NationalTurk – CNN’s war against Republican presidential hopeful Ron Paul, the #1 rival of US President Barack Obama, has been evident since the Texas congressman began surging in the upcoming US presidential election polls, but the previously hidden attack on the Republican candidate in an interview with an US veteran soldier was made public to millions the previous night.<\/p>\n

During a live interview Wednesday night from an Iowa caucus location, CNN briefly spoke to an US military veteran and adamant supporter of Rep. Ron Paul until the soldier began praising Paul for the non-interventionist ideals that separate the congressman from the Obama policy endorsed by CNN.<\/p>\n

CNN Censors US soldiers remarks on US Military Foreign Policy<\/h2>\n

Just when Corporal Jesse Thorsen began to get heated, and criticised US foreign policies, CNN dropped the feed.<\/p>\n

CNN Commentator Wolf Blitzer dismissed the issue as a technical error, but many have quickly speculated that Wednesday night\u2019s mysterious malfunction was less of a problem with camera feeds and more of an issue with what Cpl. Thorsen had to say \u2014 a message made loud and clear by Ron Paul but missed by the mainstream media outlets that continue to attack the candidate.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m really excited about a lot of his [Ron Paul’s] ideas,\u201d Cpl. Thorsen began talking CNN reporter Dana Bash from Ron Paul headquarters in Ankeny, Iowa Wednesday evening. \u201cEspecially when it comes to bringing the soldiers home,\u201d added the vet Thorsen. \u201cI\u2019ve been serving US army for ten years now and all ten of those have been during wartime. I\u2019d like to see a little peacetime army and I think Ron Paul has the right idea.\u201d<\/p>\n

CNN reporters have developed reflexes against criticism on US Foreign Policies<\/h3>\n

And almost immediately and reflexively, CNN\u2019s Bash began berating the veteran US soldier and questioning him over his support for a candidate that would want to largely discontinue America\u2019s foreign military presence. Bash pointed the camera towards a large tattoo on the solder\u2019s neck that recognizes 9 \/ 11 terrorist attacks and inquired Thorsen how he could consider a candidate like Ron Paul while other Republicans write him off as a security threat.<\/p>\n

Dana Bash asked Cpl. Thorsen : \u201cSome Republicans out there have been claiming that Ron Paul would be very dangerous for the USA because he wants to bring American troops like you back from your post from all over the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

US Soldier : USA should discontinue starting wars around the globe<\/h4>\n

\u201cI think it would be even more dangerous to start nitpicking wars with more countries,\u201d responded the vet and made TV history with his line then at that point, CNN\u2019s broadcast became scrambled, but Thorsen managed to begin, \u201cSomeone like Iran.\u201d The soldier managed to squeeze off the word \u201cIsrael\u201d before the CNN broadcast ceased and the network returned to Blitzer live from in-studio.<\/p>\n

Later in the evening, Paul welcomed Cpl. Thorsen onto the stage with him so he could finish speaking as the results of the Iowa caucus came in.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf there’s any man out there who’s had a vision for this country it is definitely him,\u201d finished the soldier. \u201cHis foreign policy is by far hands down better than any candidates out there . . . We don’t need to be picking fights overseas.\u201d<\/p>\n

CNN\u2019s latest attempt at censoring Rep. Ron Paul\u2019s message from the masses comes days after the network broadcast an edited interview of the candidate in which he is portrayed as agitated and irritated by a CNN host grilling him over controversial newsletters penned under the congressman\u2019s name from the 1990s. After the broadcast, an unedited version of the interview circulated to the Web and showed that CNN had largely edited the original record.<\/p>\n

Ron Paul still managed a top-tier victory on Wednesday night despite the ongoing smear campagne\u00a0earning 21.4 %\u00a0of the vote in Iowa behind Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum.<\/p>\nError, group does not exist! Check your syntax! (ID: 10)<\/span>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
