Veritas: CNN Producer Admits Hyping ‘Mostly (bleep) Trump-Russia Scandal for ‘Ratings’ (Trunc.)
Breitbart Big Government ^ | June 26, 2017 | Matthew Boyle

Posted on 06/27/2017 6:39:36 AM PDT by libstripper

ames O’Keefe’s Project Veritas has struck again: This time, a senior CNN producer was caught on camera by one of O’Keefe’s investigators admitting that the network’s relentless bashing of President Donald Trump with the Russia scandal lacks proof.

“Could be bullshit. I mean, it’s mostly bullshit right now,” the CNN producer, John Bonifield, said in a video O’Keefe’s Project Veritas released on Tuesday, when asked about his thoughts on the Russia investigation. “Like, we don’t have any giant proof. Then they say, well there’s still an investigation going on. And you’re like, yeah, I don’t know. If they were finding something we would know about it. The way these leaks happen, they would leak it. They’d leak. If it was something really good, it would leak…. The leaks keep leaking and there’s so many great leaks, and it’s amazing. I just refuse to believe that if they had something really good like that that wouldn’t leak because we’ve been getting all these other leaks. So, I just feel like they don’t really have it but they want to keep digging. And so I think the president is probably right to say, like, look you are witch hunting me. You have no smoking gun. You have no real proof.”

“Like, we don’t have any giant proof.

MORE LIKE NO PROOF WHATSOEVER....

On a totally different note - how did Hillary spend the money she got selling United States uranium to the Russians? And Podestas' Russians dealings? Is he still making money off those? Bernie? Honeymooned in Russia... connected to the Socialist Workers Party in Chicago? Or is that a rumor?

Hey CNN you might want to stay with the Russia story - dems are knee deep in it...

Yes, the hardcores will never abandon the narrative - but I think a lot of regular folks are getting pretty tired of this scheisse.

Sarah H Sanders just told everyone to go watch the video. Ha Ha. A couple of “reporters” went off the wall. Heads exploding!
Can’t wait until the others are released.

You are correct about that. The Bret Baier show on Fox covered the 3 CNN resignation story but took a pass on the 10X more important Veritas video.

I don’t get it. If Fox doesn’t cover it then it will be a miracle if it will show anywhere on broadcast or cable news.

Hopefully Tucker, The 5 and or Hannity will dig into it.

The Mediascum has ignored it all day. The POS liars won’t touch it. I keep checking, and it’s only being reported by right-leaning publications. That’s one big part of how the liberal propagandists influence the public, by what they WON’T report as well as what they do report.

I understand the frustration. I go through it all the time.Perhaps my biggest question is why Limbaugh will never ever take on anlything controversial or anything that won't make him look bigger and better. THere is so much going on with the web its near impossible to cover yet the msm is mia most of the time.

Trump owes O’Keefe big time!

When is Trump going to award this guy some kind of medal right there in his Oval office?

Better yet, O’Keefe should be awarded a permanent front row seat at the DC pressers just to piss off the MSM.

‘To be sure, CNN still has its loyal and fanatical base of followers...’

In the end, I predict, that the only thing that’s been propping up CNN is insider clout and big bucks.

If you want to see a fanatical following, you need to find prophets of doom enviro-wackos or Alex Jones, UF-ologists, or gurus of the occult.

‘Either way, CNN’s reputation and image have taken a serious hit.’

THAT conclusion was spot-on though!

I’ve said it before and will say it again — this has always been a war of media credibility.

‘The Mediascum has ignored it all day.’

That’s okay. Word works itself around media silence at an ever faster rate and with ever-greater intensity — been that way ever since Drudge broke Monica-gate.

‘And this is all happening as CNN is airing a special “The Russia connection” tonight.’

ROFL!

And from what I’ve seen, O’Keefe kept his agents there for a long time! CNN must be sweating bullets right now.
