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.
"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!"
The OP is time stamped just before 3 a.m. so it's been about an hour that it has been on C-D. No one is ignoring this thread. They're all asleep except for me who was watching clips of "The Newsroom" on You Tube. It's good this guy was exposed. The OP at least insinuates that the reporter worked for CNN. He didn't. 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.....
Just as the truth was unknown to that "journalist", so is it unknown to cultists supporting Trump....
BS.....as this thread is to you, unknown...
