Oopsy! CNN 'Journalist of the Year' Exposed as Fake News Specialist


Claas Relotius, a reporter and editor, falsified his articles on a grand scale and even invented characters, deceiving both readers and his colleagues. This has been uncovered as a result of tips, internal research and, ultimately, a comprehensive confession by the editor himself....
Claas Relotius committed his deception intentionally, methodically and with criminal intent. For example, he included individuals in his stories who he had never met or spoken to, telling their stories or quoting them. Instead, he would reveal, he based the depictions on other media or video recordings. By doing so, he created composite characters of people who actually did exist but whose stories Relotius had fabricated. He also made up dialogue and quotes.

And to think.

There are people who post here daily that cite whatever CNN says without thought or question.


Here they are giving awards to liars.

"This is the ultimate Christmas present for Donald Trump. He's said dozens of times that CNN was fake news. Guess what? It turns out that CNN even rewards fake news!"

They just gave him some award. He doesn't represent them or the media in general. He represents himself as a fake and a fraud. And before someone comes in and says CNN will never cover this.....

Germany's Der Spiegel says star reporter Claas Relotius wrote fake stories 'on a grand scale'


Just as the truth was unknown to that "journalist", so is it unknown to cultists supporting Trump....
