CNN forced to apologize for airing deceptively edited Milwaukee riot footage
Canada Free Press ^ | 08/18/16 | Robert Laurie

Faking regret...

You’ll probably know CNN as that network you only watch when you’re trapped in an airport, there’s no wifi, your laptop’s battery is dead, you don’t want to spend money on outdated print media, and you need something to look at while you slurp up your third watered-down Bloody Mary. For you it’s background noise, nothing more. However, there are apparently still people out there who regard it as a source of actual news. We’re not sure who those poor, ill-informed, souls are, but we’ve been assured that, yes, they really do exist.

Thanks to CNN’s deceptive editing, those folks believe that the woman in the following clip was calling for an end to the violence that recently engulfed Milwaukee. As you’ll see, they’ve been lied to.

A haiku:

They serve the elites
And dish out obvious lies
One day they will hang

Another haiku:

They weaponized blacks
To tear apart our country
But at who's behest?

They did it on purpose.

Can you find this apology on the CNNWebsite or any MSM outlet?

Problem is, by _not_ editing out the next bit, they’d spread to millions the message “go to the suburbs and burn down THEIR neighborhoods”.

As one living in such a neighborhood, that would be a bad idea both for homeowners and for the rioters who discover the hard way that many such homeowners are heavily armed.

I’ll accept the apology if they repeat it every 15 minutes from 6-9PM tonight. Otherwise they’re just doing damage control and now can say they “admitted it was a mistake” when attacked without letting more that a few viewers know what they did.

I’ll accept they are sorry for the “mistake” if they announce reasonable change to their production process and follow through to ensure it doesn’t happen again. Not a chance of that.

I really hate clicking on a link and have some marketing scam hijack the site with no way out without continuing the scam.

No apology

Cuz we'll all be dead

This kind of thing is why the Ministry of Propaganda hates the internet.

They get caught being the Ministry of Propaganda.

The apology was picked up as national filler by my small town fishwrapper so I suspect more people will see the apology than saw the original crooked story.

I only watch CNN when I’m waiting for my order at Jack In The Box. For some reason, they always have it going there.

CNN is poop
Just like the bay in Rio
But electronic

If they come to my quiet, leafy neighborhood they’ll get a surprise. My next door neighbor, a peaceful patent lawyer, has an M-1 and an AR-15. Another neighbor has an AR-15 and a Walther PPK, among other goodies. I’m a .45 ACP man, myself, and have several model 1911s and lots of ammo. Let the games begin!
