In one clip, CNN correspondent Christiane Amanpour says during an interview that CNN was intimidated by the administration “and its foot soldiers at Fox News.”
“We felt it important right now to raise awareness and ask the media to please ask the hard questions, before it’s too late,” said Greenwald. “We’ve focused on TV because they are the ones who have the greatest, quickest input. But over time, we will be asking and expanding this to all media.”

2. CARINDALE taxi driver Gerry Belcher has been awarded for his service to the disabled community, but he could be forced out of business if proposed changes to the taxi subsidy scheme are approved.
In last month’s Budget, the State Government announced a $400 cap per person per year on the scheme, which subsidises taxi fares for people with severe disabilities.
The move would save the Government up to $7.5 million a year, but is now under review.
Mr Belcher, who won the Carers Queensland Great Employee Award in 2011, said many taxi drivers relied on the subsidy scheme for employment.
“My day is usually booked up early by regular subsidy scheme clients. I don’t know if I would survive without it,” he said.
“I am not the only one who will be affected. There are many drivers who predominantly rely on this work.
“It’s going to affect me but also the people with disabilities who rely on it to go out. These outings keep them active and sane.”
