The giant american news company didn’t allow one of it’s employees to express her 140 letters personal point of view !

hmm, wondering where is the american democracy, liberty , freedom of speech that the USA is always proud of ? .. CNN always promotes that the islamic resistance in lebanon, iraq or everywhere is a type of terrorism, always promotes for Hezbollah as a group of islamic terrorists not as a people defending their land against the israeli terrorism machine, So the CNN people couldn’t stand another opinion ..

on another side Nasr who worked for CNN for 20 years ,quickly apologized for her tweet in a long post explaining that what she meant with the word “respect” is that she only respects that Fadlallah took a contrarian and pioneering stand among Shi’a clerics on woman’s rights ..!  but seems that her apology was late ..

That’s really disgusting .. please america if you still can’t believe in freedom of speech ,then don’t give us a headache with your fake american model ! .. and dear americans we really sympathize with your minds eaten by your Media
