Has to be seen to be believed. CNN shows Fallout 4 video game as proof that Russians hacked election.

CNN was once a respectable network. Now it seems to only be a clown show over there. (no offense to real clowns)

CNN mocked for using screengrabs from Fallout 4 in Russian hacking story

CNN explain Russian election hacking with footage from Fallout 4 video game | The Independent



(I will say, it's better "proof" than what Obama has given. )

Is anyone surprised?

It is "journalism" taught in schools.

What Trump needs to to is trash the press pool opting to go straight to the American people which I think he is doing. If CNN says it it's a lie.

Maybe we can rename it the "Clown News Network" now that the Clinton's are resigned back to swamp creature status.

As opposed to talking RT (Russian government propaganda rag) for gospel, you should look into it a little. They didn't use the images to explain anything, they were used as 'wallpaper', much like you might have NYC sky scrapers in the background while talking about NYC. In this case they had bunch of random numbers representing "computer code" running in the background while they talked about hacking. Who knows, and who cares, how the wallpaper was produced. Absolutely nothing to do with good or bad journalism.

Got any proof to back up that claim is that just a knee jerk of yours? I can dig up wiki leaks that prove CNN was in collusion with the Clinton campaign to both undermine Sanders and propagate against Trump. What do you have on RT being a Russian backed source?

Why don't you google about RT and see who funds it (the Russian government), and how they twist facts into propaganda when reporting issues. Or Google what a high ranking ex KGB officer Konstantin Preobrazhensky says about it. He said it is "a part of the Russian industry of misinformation and manipulation". If you don't know RT is a propaganda rag, I urge you to read up about it.

It is probably the best example of a state sponsored propaganda outlet today, and on par with Pravda, the 'newsletter' of the Soviet communist party.

There is also a link there from The Independent.

The story isn't fake. Stop trying to defend CNN. This is the same network that helped Hillary to cheat at the debates.

You're the one making the claim. I take it from your post, you have no credible source to back up your claim. Just admit that it is a lie or fabrication. I on the other hand can quote direct wiki leaks that support my claim of CNN being an arm of the Clinton campaign to undermine Sanders and Trump. You on the other hand have nothing but "just google it". News flash, you can google literally anything.

Hillary is a reptile. Just google it.

Trump won the election because his team is smarter than Clinton. So I think the American people are tired of promises of former leaders. The people chose an alternative that's all. As for the Russian hackers, it is nonsense, without any evidence. Do you think that is important who the president of the United States for us?
