Are any reliable sources reporting the alleged CNN altering of the Oregon killer’s photo?

Seriously?

This doesn't pass the smell test. The only sources reporting this story, thus far, are fringe sites.

Thread: CNN Alters Photo of Umpqua Killer Chris Harper-Mercer to Make Him Look White

Reliable HACK.

Looking at 0Hour1's main Twitter page doesn't give one much confidence.

Apparently, according to CNN they aren’t guilty because they never showed any pics of him at all:

Unfortunately, Larry Elder - who is sitting in for Dennis Prager - has fallen for this. :(

The Treehouse did say it came from a CNN broadcast. Hard to imagine they wouldn’t show the perp’s pic, not hard to imagine that they would so alter it, and of course not so easy to track down and pin on them.

Looks like an incredibly good screen-shot capture, so I really don’t know what to think. I’d need more evidence to go promoting it.

I know. Where's the video?

At least the captured screen shot should be available to share—which is why this to me is questionable. I fear they may have had it emailed to them—and then just chose to run with it.

You're right. I wonder what 0Hour1's real story is. CNN staffer by day, anti-conservative Internet troll by night?

For whatever it is worth, Snopes says the photoshop is a hoax:

I just looked at Conservative Treehouse for a retraction or some other response to this mess, but while there are now a bunch of new articles above the photoshop article, I did not see a retraction or other explanation by CTH. Not impressive.

>>>Well, as politely as I can say it, please have carnal congress with yourself.

Really? So now we can just say something is from CNN...even though we have no proof and the only people who are reporting it are fringe sights?

Great. Between you mishandling of the truth and your vulgarity...perhaps you are a libtard DU plant. There's more evidence for that than CNN posted this pic.

I can see the collapse of civility isn't confined to the DUmp.

I don't have to prove what I'm saying!!!
