Very Fake News CNN is in spin mode as they scramble to do some damage control after Project Veritas dropped undercover bombshell video of a CNN producer saying the Russia story is ‘bullsh*t’ and they continue to push the false narrative for ratings.
Very fake news’ Brian Stelter of ‘Reliable Sources’ tweeted CNN’s PR statement noting that the staffer in the undercover video isn’t involved in Russia or Trump coverage.
Interesting spin by CNN as they only talk about the producer, Bonifield and ignore that he brought up the CEO of CNN, Jeff Zucker demanding that his news channel get back to the ratings winner that Russia is for CNN.
Bonifield laughed off the notion that the media has an ethical responsibility and said ‘it’s a business’ and ‘they gotta what they gotta do to make money’.
CNN PR just issued a statement about @JamesOKeefeIII‘s undercover video, noting that this staffer isn’t involved in Russia or Trump coverage https://t.co/82o2lzkTXQ

Stelter also tweeted, “CNN stands by our medical producer John Bonifield. Diversity of personal opinion is what makes CNN strong, we welcome & embrace it.”

Their reporting was about Spicer this morning.
Ok then , on to the next video.
“[CNNs] Bonifield laughed off the notion that the media has an ethical responsibility..”
#FAKEAMERICANS
In a rational universe Zucker and Stetler would be gone tomorrow.
Just go ahead and “stand by” him then CNN. You guys are caught with your pants down around your ankles bending over for democrats to the point of slander and sedition. So go ahead and stand by him.
They need a little time to get a wag the dog together to get this off the front page.
Did this Project Veritas video have anything to do with the three CNN reporters that resigned?
CNN you can feel the suck.
No. The fired CNN reporters were responsible for a Scaramuci story that was defamatory. But for the defamation angle, they would have kept the story up, because if fed into the general accusation that people in the Trump campaign colluded with Russians.
Apparently not, I’m fairly certain that this video was released after the three had “resigned”.
So, we are supposed to take it as gospel when CNN breathlessly passes along "details" from some nameless, faceless, "source", but when one of their own producers is busted using his own words and images, meh, it's just "opinion".
Okay. Works for me. From now on, it's not the CNN, the Cable News Network, it's CON, the Cable Opinion Network.
I think CON is a more apt initialization anyway.
SPeculation and Innuendo News - SPIN
That works, too.
Actually, this incident is evidence that CNN is not a branch of the DNC. If it was, it would fire these guys because it would care about what the dem voter (and thus the dem leadership) thinks. But it doesn’t care about any of that. It cares about ratings, it’s playing to the late-night comedy crowd, who doesn’t care about truth or honesty or any of that, and so CNN doesn’t care about any of that.
Speaking of janitor, CNN will not fire him but move him to a janitor
position. He will then quit.
I feel for this honest guy.
Maybe Fox will offer him a job.
Yeah, except substitute “Network” for “News” -— Seriously, CNN spends 23 hours a day speculating and impugning with made up “facts.”
CNN: “Lies are like spice. We just like to spice up our broadcasts.”
OMG. Just watched the video. An airhead producer speaks his mind...
