CNN Now Worried Ferguson Shooting Audio Is Hoax
Breitbart's Big Journalism ^ | August 27, 2014 | John Nolte

Posted on 08/27/2014 4:53:21 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

When CNN first broadcast the unverified audio of the shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, MO, it was with all the sturm and drang of breathless breaking news. The audio led almost every hour and was the biggest story of the day.

What a difference a day makes. The language coming from "New Day" anchor Michaela Pereira Wednesday morning is much more cautious. "Do you think it's authentic?" she squeaked to two law enforcement experts, both of whom believe it is a hoax:

(VIDEO-AT-LINK)

Even if the audio ends up being authentic, the fact that CNN is now concerned over its authenticity and laying the groundwork to claim they were always skeptical, tells you how irresponsible the network is. The prejudicial audio never should have been aired prior to authentication. But this is exactly the kind of incendiary behavior we have come to expect from the news network that disgraced itself more than any other during the George Zimmerman affair.

CNN's timing of the release made perfect sense....

I can't wait for the next "unarmed black teen" shooting. How will they react to that one?

Maybe the audio is fake, but accurate.

The fake tape is just as real as the rest of the media circus surrounding the demise of this criminal.

They vetted the tape just like they did obamy, Bush’s NG records and a million other stories that put down crazy crackers.

This whole "unarmed" statist media meme is such a bugaboo for me. I say any 6'4", 300 lb, witless child with a death wish is more armed than I would care to discover for myself.

I heard the audio on the Rush Limbaugh show.

To me, the gun shots sounded wrong for two reasons:

  1. Each shot sounded absolutely identical, as if sampled
  2. The shots sounded like they were fired by an AK-47, not a pistol

Next thing ya know, CNN’s Crystal Ball (I swear I am NOT making this name up) will tell us Michael Brown’s real cause of death was a blast of air from Howard Stern’s a**.

That one is easy. Gunfire is many, many times louder than a man’s voice. Certainly possible to record gunfire without any human voices on the tape. Depends on the recorder’s distance from the supposed scene.
