WATCH: James O’Keefe Dials In To CNN Conference Calls, Tells Network President He’ll Release Tapes Of Editorial Calls Later TODAY
The National Pulse ^ | 1 Dec 20 | NATALIE WINTERS

Posted on 12/01/2020 7:01:27 AM PST by BlackFemaleArmyColonel

James O’Keefe, founder of Project Veritas, teased the release of tapes revealing CNN’s bias while on an editorial call with the network’s president Jeff Zucker.

O’Keefe informed Zucker on the call that his organization had been recording the insider calls for months before inquiring “do you still feel you’re the most trusted name in news.”

Zucker, failing to address O’Keefe’s question, responds “thank you for your comment. So, everybody, I think in light of that, we’ll set up a new system, and we’ll be back with you, we’ll do the rest of the call later” before appearing to end the call.

The clips are set to be released on December 1st at 7pm Eastern Time.

Per O’Keefe, Project Veritas has “clips of various producers talking, the president talking, describing their motives, describing their political philosophy, describing how they don’t cover certain things and certain political parties tell them to cover things a certain way.”

Individuals including Zucker, Vice President David Chalian, Stephanie Becker, and Marcus Mabry.

Despotism (Encyclopedia Britannica film, circa 1946)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TaWSqboZr1w
“A community is low on a ‘Respect’ scale if common courtesy is withheld from large groups of people on account of their political attitudes.”

“...in a downright despotism opposition is dangerous whether the despotism is official or whether it is unofficial...”

“A community rates low on the ‘Information’ scale when the press, radio, and other channels of communication are controlled by only a few people and when citizens have to accept what they are told.”

“See how a community trains its teachers”
“...these students are being taught to accept uncritically whatever they are told. Questions are not encouraged.”

“And if books and newspapers and the radio [and facebook and youtube and...] are officially controlled the people will read and accept exactly what the few in control want them to. Government censorship is one form of control. The newspaper that breaks the government censorship rule can be suspended. It is also possible for newspapers and other lines of communication to be controlled by private interests...”

Democracy (Encyclopedia Britannica film, circa 1946)

“The newspapers of a real democracy meet these tests...”

Newspaper checks.
1. Balance of coverage
2. Disclosure of source
3. Competence of staff

This is an in-kind political contribution in an election year.

Bust their balls with sledgehammers, so to speak.

Recall that in 2016 CNN rigged their own townhall “debate” by providing candidate Hillary with the questions in advance but not sharing them with Bernie Sanders Zocialist.

I love this guy. He hasn’t yet turned into Enemy #1 for the Left and Trump-haters, but he’s quickly rising!

“This is gonna be good!”

We always think these revelations are going to be “good”.

But all they do is reinforce to us what we already know. The other side already knows too, but they like it. And NOTHING happens to stop it, in fact it just continues to get worse.

There’s nothing “good” about it.

Haha! Making the spin-off of CNN an easier purchase for the soon to be fledgling Trump News Network.

Yes but they've clearly graduated to National meddling rather than just dabbling in internal party meddling.

"Whoa, wait, CNN is biased? Really? Holy cow, that’s shocking!"

O'Keefe is a fantastic investigative journalist, and is both ballsy and clever in getting inside information, and credit should be given where due.

That said, using his talent to "document" that CNN is biased is as much a bombshell as Jacques Cousteau teasing an announcement that the ocean is wet.

I agree with everything in your post.

I think the light of truth is always "good". The Bible talks about things done in secret being shouted from the housetops.

You’re in the Top 5 A-holes on this site, though you do have some stiff competition

Do you honestly think that we are all excited that O Keefe is going to expose CNN as being biassed against Trump? No, we are hopeful that there is specific talk about suppressing election fraud coverage and maybe even politicians names being mentioned

Could this be a game changer all by itself? Not necessarily, but it can add to the narrative that is building to sway public opinion

I am hoping that the plan is to sway public opinion over the next 2 weeks, paving the way for Trump to invoke the insurrection act. But you can continue to be a negative A-hole.

I know what you mean, but he does some remarkable work that is widely ignored, so I don’t blame him for trying as hard as he can to garner attention.

My problem is that it is hit or miss for him. A lot of the Booms sizzle. Just release, if good, great. If not, then you don’t get slammed for over promising.

And outside of the buildup nonsense, I love O’Keefe and think he is doing a service to the country. Just stop the hyperbole.

The MSM proved that the fourth estate is alive and well, and most importantly “willing,” to do the bidding of their democrat masters. No one pushed harder on the “fake news media” narrative than the President. However as evidenced by the media coverage/non-coverage the Tara Reade and Hunter Biden laptop stories, the “4th estate” still and maybe even more so now, has the power to shape the narrative therefore elections.

There was some narrative on the Reade story with the signature bias and dismissal baked in during very sparse reporting. The narrative went out that Ms. Reade be discredited and dismissed, period. In the case of the Laptop, timing dictated that it be ignored and go unreported, the chance couldn't be taken that it would gain any traction whatsoever.

Switching gears to the massive vote fraud, again the MSM has a unified narrative and the word “unsubstantiated” has probably been used tens of thousands of times since the election. No investigations, no calls for audits which one would think the media sycophants would be falling all over themselves to have done if they truly believed the election was “fair and secure.” When was the last time you saw any of them holding back on an opportunity to malign the President? This would certainly provide the ultimate smack down. I'm surprised if they are so convinced everything is on the up up that they would pass on the chance.
