Look at the pics, and decide who you’re going to believe: trustworthy, responsible, unbiased CNN, or your own lying eyes?
It seems to me that a lot of these crazies do it to become “famous”. Rather than publishing (altering?) their photos and releasing their names, how about the MSM not releasing a name or photograph. Also, how ‘bout doing away with “gun free” zones, since that’s where these cowards go to do their murders. I just wonder how many crimes have been avoided because the area allowed conceal and carry (CC). Indeed, I’d make the entire US a CC zone. Perhaps the idiots would think twice if they knew they might not even get one shot off.
No source it ever came from CNN. They did show a version of the pic that had more brightness aded that some other sources, but not the “white guy” version.
BTW they did this to pics of 0bama when he was running in 08. His pics showed him having VERY light skin tones.
I did an image match search using the image file as posting the conservative treehouse website and found no references matching to anything on CNN
there were a few matches but none from ANY news :organizations..foreign nor domestic.
That being said,,,I think that CNN could afford to have hired someone with just a bit more SKILL to make the fraudulent image.
Fringe sites that don’t even have any video. Doesn’t pass the smell test.
the whole news media would be all over it!!!
I saw something on fox news about it...Megan Kelly maybe, I was working on my friend’s car and not really paying attention to the tv. You have to decide if Megyn is reliable.
I’m not sure how much it matters. I showed the Conservative Treehouse post to my wife, who gets all her news from CNN or BBC. She said she had not seen that picture.
BUT she was also astounded to know the guy was black or had a black mother. So the media is accomplishing its goal of making the public believe the evil perp was white. They don’t need altered pictures.
During the Bernie Goetz trial, the media plastered pictures of one of his “victims” in a cap and gown, just like they did with the gentle giant Michael Brown. A dirty little secret, Goetz’ trial was unexpectedly delayed because one of his so-called victims, James Ramseur recovered from his gunshot wounds enough to rape one of his neighbors who was 7 months pregnant at the time. He did 25 yrs and in 2011 was found dead a hotel room in the Bronx of an overdose.
Conservative Treehouse has been right in the recent past, and I find them a very important source, but on this issue, I am not so sure. NO, have not seen it reported elsewhere.
This appears to be the original source...

It predates sundance’s post at Conservative Treehouse
Yeah, well they sure wish he WAS white.
Here's 0Hour1's Twitter post that seems to have started it all:

0Hour1 also posted on CTH. I think this is all a hoax by 0Hour1, but that's just based on blog comments and my own failure to track down a source of the modified image other than 0Hour1.
If it is a hoax, it seems to have fooled a lot of people, including Gateway Pundit's Jim Hoft. Hoft's page on this subject now shows CNN's denial of responsibility for the photoshopping:
The star of the Hollywood-produced biopic on Dan Rather still believes the documents that Rather forged (or had forged) in order to throw a presidential election...are real.
I doubt anyone outside of the state-run media is going to say anything about the photoshopping.
If this had not been a hoax, my opinion of CNN would have dropped by at least 1%. Perhaps as much as 2%.
