Jeremy Scahill Blasts CNN's 'Terrorism Expert Industrial Complex' Live On CNN
In the wake of the deadly terrorist attack on French satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo, Jeremy Scahill sees the media "revving up the fear engine again."
During an interview with CNN's Hala Gorani, Scahill -- an investigative journalist and war correspondent who has reported from Iraq, Afghanistan and Yemen, among other regions -- took particular issue with some of the self-professed terrorism experts making the cable news rounds this week, calling their credentials into question.
"CNN, MSNBC and Fox are engaging in the terrorism expert industrial complex, where 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," Scahill said.
