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.

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.

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.

CNN Censors US soldiers remarks on US Military Foreign Policy

Just when Corporal Jesse Thorsen began to get heated, and criticised US foreign policies, CNN dropped the feed.

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

“I’m really excited about a lot of his [Ron Paul’s] ideas,” Cpl. Thorsen began talking CNN reporter Dana Bash from Ron Paul headquarters in Ankeny, Iowa Wednesday evening. “Especially when it comes to bringing the soldiers home,” added the vet Thorsen. “I’ve been serving US army for ten years now and all ten of those have been during wartime. I’d like to see a little peacetime army and I think Ron Paul has the right idea.”

And almost immediately and reflexively, CNN’s Bash began berating the veteran US soldier and questioning him over his support for a candidate that would want to largely discontinue America’s foreign military presence. Bash pointed the camera towards a large tattoo on the solder’s 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.

Dana Bash asked Cpl. Thorsen : “Some 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.”

“I think it would be even more dangerous to start nitpicking wars with more countries,” responded the vet and made TV history with his line then at that point, CNN’s broadcast became scrambled, but Thorsen managed to begin, “Someone like Iran.” The soldier managed to squeeze off the word “Israel” before the CNN broadcast ceased and the network returned to Blitzer live from in-studio.

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.

“If there’s any man out there who’s had a vision for this country it is definitely him,” finished the soldier. “His foreign policy is by far hands down better than any candidates out there . . . We don’t need to be picking fights overseas.”

CNN’s latest attempt at censoring Rep. Ron Paul’s 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’s 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.

Ron Paul still managed a top-tier victory on Wednesday night despite the ongoing smear campagne earning 21.4 % of the vote in Iowa behind Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum.
