JOHN HINDERAKER : CNN SAYS: OH-OH
POWERLINE BLOG ^ | FEBRUARY 22, 2017

Posted on 02/22/2017 9:23:33 PM PST by Helicondelta

James O’Keefe and Project Veritas are about to strike again. O’Keefe told Sean Hannity that he has “hundreds of hours of tape” that he intends to release tomorrow.

The footage apparently comes from the newsroom of a Democratic Party news organization, and was given to O’Keefe by “someone on the inside.”

It will be interesting to see what CNN employees really think. Unfortunately, the MSM will not report on the reality of the bias as CNN, as it would expose their own bias.

Yes, CNN is biased an this will reinforce half the American public that voted for Trump. The other half will take their talking points from the MSM.

Truly a shame that it will take a total implosion on the MSM before half the US electorate figures out they they have been duped, lied to, and are fools. Yes, CNN will hold out to the last, but eventually, the truth will out.

No, because they probably have ‘insurance’ or a ‘deadman switch’ to make sure whatever it is gets out even if something were to ‘happen’ to them.

Also, the defensive or concealment measures the targets take will be based on what they think the releasers have. This can be illuminating in and of itself.

At least this release could promote enormous pressure towards eliminating the pervasive spectacle of CNN at so many airports, waiting rooms, restaurants, etc. What a dream come true that would be...

Yup; heavily edited is already in the CNN narrative. The quote below is from a CNN money article Drudge links to:

“Some of his so-called exposés have relied on misleading editing techniques. And an incident in 2010 landed him in legal trouble. After he was arrested at Senator Mary Landrieu’s office, O’Keefe pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor for entering federal property under false pretenses. He was sentenced to three years of probation, plus community service and a fine.
Given his track record, many consider O’Keefe discredited, and not a serious journalist.”

Is there any point to this? Even if they are caught red-handed will anything happen?

Popcorn alert! What will happen will be a most enjoyable day of watching them ignore the first rule of holes: stop digging.

"Watch out for the talking point of “heavily edited”."

On raw video? That tooth has been pulled this time. This is a raw data dump, to be crowd-sourced a la wikileaks Podesta email dump.

He is all over Tritter and on Hannity saying "tomorrow", so give him a chance

On that I'll respectfully disagree. So many times, we've been told a story was about to come, and we've set our sights too high and then it's either been nothing or a big letdown. Besides that, if what's being exposed is known, it gives time and opportunity for the bad guys to develop a false narrative.

The real good exposes have the shock factor. Nobody expects them, so there's no opportunity to censor or frame them.

Example...reversing the insane bathroom transgender rulings of the past administration, and leaving it as a state's issue caught everyone by surprise. So now they're scrambling to object to a dumb deal instead of keeping up with the pace of President Trump's administration.

CNN is already spinning the story. Read this one and notice the careful insertion of editorial commentary:

“So he entered federal property to uncover a crime and was charged?” during the 80s that was called investigative journalism. Now if a conservative does it to uncover a democrat felony it’s called a crime
