CNN Self-Censorship, China Firewall, Eason Jordan
An anonymous letter from a former CNN employee details how the network pulled a story about the "Great Firewall of China" in 2005 due to pressure from the Chinese government. The segment also references Eason Jordan's 2003 New York Times op-ed about the news CNN withheld from Iraq to protect its staff. These examples are used to illustrate the reality of corporate and political self-censorship.
