Project Veritas is the epitome of fake news. Hilarious that anyone would cite them as anything other than a punchline.

It is amazing how the left can believe every word of unnamed sources being past along as news facts when it make Trump look bad. But undercover video is fake news if it makes the left look bad.

I'm not the biggest fan of this video either (it DOES seem super edited and there's no real context behind it, so who knows what Jones is actually meaning here), I do agree with what I bolded.

People do buy "unnamed sources" articles and treat them like actual, real news. Way too much.

Sean Hannity swears to stop talking about Seth Rich murder ‘for now’

Guess it wasn't that threatening. Again, the point is: CNN flat out lied for ratings. Hannity talked about the Rich murder without saying that the DNC did it. Your attempt to compare fails. Still.

Please tell me how one goes about editing the statement (on video)...the Russia thing is just a big nothing burger?

Project Veritas|American Pravda: CNN
I wrote this earlier, so I shall cut and paste here:




What I find strange about such statements is that some people seem to believe that it is CNN that is investigating the Russian 'interference' during the election (which President Trump now admits to), and not two Congressional committees and one special counsel.


CNN is certainly not destroyed. They took what appears to be the proper steps: they pulled the story, and three people lost their jobs due to it.


Anyway, even if CNN were to magically go off the air (and they are on cable, not public airwaves), the investigation of Mr. Trump (and he now admits he is being investigated) and members of his campaign team, as to whether they coordinated with the Russians or Wikileaks, will continue.


We must recall:


Paul Manafort, Trump initial campaign manager, resigned due to questions about his contacts with Russians and Ukraine. Oh, by the way, Mr. Manafort just yesterday:


"registered Tuesday with the Justice Department as a foreign agent for political consulting work he did for a Ukrainian political party, acknowledging that he coached party members on how to interact with U.S. government officials.

Manafort says in a Justice Department filing that his firm, DMP International, received more than $17 million from the Party of Regions, the former pro-Russian ruling party in Ukraine, for consulting work from 2012 through 2014."


CNN? No, Fox:


Former Trump campaign chairman registers as foreign agent | Fox News


Michael Flynn: resigned due to his lying to the VP about the extent of his contacts with the Russians.


James Comey: fired by Trump, with Trump stating that the reason to ease the pressure of the Russian investigation.


Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner:


"The White House also has acknowledged that Kushner met with Kislyak, the Russian ambassador to the United States, in late November. Kushner also has acknowledged that he met with the head of a Russian development bank, Vnesheconombank, which has been under U.S. sanctions since July 2014."

Of course, there are other players in all this: Jeff Sessions, Sally Yates (fired), and Dan Coats.


But, you keep posting about CNN.


It is called 'whistling while passing by a graveyard'.

Sadly, I think a lot of moderates and even some right leaning people think CNN is credible. If for no other reason, their past reputation. Granted many knew years ago they were let leaning. Still, they dropped all pretenses of neutrality and proved to be Democrat chills with their efforts to get Hillary elected.

BTW - Do you ever notice that no matter where you go that might have TV's for the public to watch, CNN is always the news channel on? I do not think I have seen FOX on once in such a place.

Nice of you to neglect this as a contributing factor for making those decisions: CNN faced $100M lawsuit over botched Russia story | New York Post
