Journalist and documentarian Jeremy Scahill confronted CNN International host Hala Gorani on Tuesday with his harsh criticism of both some world leaders showing solidarity toward France and her networks handling of the recent terrorist attacks in the country.
Hypocrisy was on full display on Sunday, with all of these world leaders; many of them are enemies of the press, themselves, Scahill said. I also think that CNN and MSNBC and Fox are engaging in the terrorism expert industrial complex. You have people on as paid analysts that are largely frauds who have made a lot of money off of portraying themselves as terror experts, and have no actual on-the-ground experience.

This guy who says he made a mistake about Birmingham has been on for decades now and whenever he shows up I usually change the channel before I start screaming.
The main thing that irritates me is how they all write books and start up some type of organization as though they are the go to people when it comes to fighting crime or terrorists.
