Chris Cuomo: We At CNN Can Possess WikiLeaks Emails, But You Can't
Townhall.com ^ | October 17, 2016 | Cortney O'Brien

CNN's Chris Cuomo lectured his viewers on Sunday that he and other journalists have the right to possess the stolen WikiLeaks emails, but you regular folks can't. 

Of course, he's wrong. There's something called the First Amendment. WikiLeaks called out the anchor's untrue assertion on Twitter.

CNN falsely states that it unlawful for the public--but not for CNN--to search WikiLeaks #PodestaEmails pic.twitter.com/sZMoM9iT2i— WikiLeaks (@wikileaks) October 16, 2016

Social media users are rightfully annoyed by Cuomo's assertion, suspecting he's trying to ensure Americans listen to CNN's interpretation of the hacked emails instead of letting them read the messages for themselves.

On Sunday, WikiLeaks released the ninth batch of Hillary Clinton Campaign Chair John Podesta's emails. Please, read away.

Hillary says the Russians are behind the hacking - NO DEFINITVE PROOF OFFERED!

But she never talks about - OR DENIES - what is in all of those e-mails.

What a REAL Journalist would say to Clinton.

Oh? The emails have been hacked and altered by the Russians? Why don’t you produce the real emails so voters can see how they have been altered?

This, of course, is exactly what the left and its supporters truly believe. To them 1984 is not fiction it is their bible and bucket list. Hillary is their biggest advocate. VOTE TRUMP!!!

CNN several times each day lives up to its old nickname: Certainly Not News.

Cuomo just proved again that:

Certainly Not News (CNN nickname)

The Cable News Network (CNN), a 24-hour cable news channel, was founded by Ted Turner and first broadcast on June 1, 1980. The unflattering CNN nickname of “Certainly Not News” has been cited in print since at least 1993.

CNN has also been nicknamed the “Chicken Noodle News” (cited in print since 1981), the “Communist News Network” (cited in print since 1991), the “Clinton News Network” (cited in print since 1992), the “CIA News Network” (cited in print since 1997), the “Criminal News Network” (cited in print since 1998), the “Corporate News Network” (cited in print since 1999), the “Cartoon News Network” (cited in print since 2000) and “Crap Not News” (cited in print since 2007).

I wonder how much a person gets paid - or what threat he evades - to make such an ass of himself on television...

Chris Cuomo comes from a family of idiots...his grand father was Mario, his father Andrew and now him...the genes get further apart as the blood line goes down...reminds you of the Kennedys...oh and in case you forgot, the Cuomos and the Kennedys did intertwine...so there you go...doesn’t get any more pathetic than that, and I really liked JFK...

So Chris, go peddle your crap somewhere else, we know WHO you are and WHAT you are and WHERE you came from...end of story...

In my opinion, it doesn’t matter who hacked the e-mails...

What matters is what is WRITTEN in the e-mails....

The entire Cuomo family is arrogant and snobby.

And since Chris is part of the lying aristocrat media empire, that only reinforces his arrogance.

Translation: You need a leftist “filter” to understand what you are reading. Poppycock.

Well, we know someone was willing to pay $600k a year for Chelsea to mumble about 2 minutes of gibberish
