CNN debunked a viral video circulating on social media claiming correspondent Clarissa Ward’s reporting in Israel was staged.

“The audio in the video posted and shared on X is fabricated, inaccurate and irresponsibly distorts the reality of the moment that was covered live on CNN, which people should watch in full for themselves on a trusted platform,” a CNN spokesperson told The Post Friday. The footage in question depicted Ward and her crew, running for cover and hitting the ground when they heard a barrage of rockets nearby during an attack near the Israel-Gaza border.

The footage depicted the journalist laying on out of fear with her face to the ground in the live show on Monday. A man with Ward’s team then mentioned that the rockets were coming from the Iron Dome, Israel’s defense system. “That’s the Iron Dome,” he said, reassuring Ward and the crew of their safety.

HAHAHA. The ironic irony of Fake News CNN “debunking” fake news.

There seems to be a tremendous amount of misinformation - mostly due to social media.

Audio article describing specific instances of misinformation on the Hamas-Israel conflict, as well as the monetization of misinformation on social media apps like X/Twitter.

What’s striking to me is all the MSM on-scene reporting on the Israel/Hamas war versus the dearth of reporting on the Ukraine/Russia war.

I’ve just always assumed everything cnnlol does is fabricated.

[FlingWingFlyer]

So, the CNN video is “fabricated” if the azhos at CNN says it is?

1000 people killed by Hamas rockets, and someone criticizes the woman for hitting the dirt during a barrage? She’s a reporter, not Lt. Col Bill Kilgore lovin’ that smell of napalm in the morning.

I saw the post on Twitter claiming it was staged but I didn’t bother to comment. (staged was trending at the time)

My thought was the guys in the background have experienced numerous rocket attacks, so they looked pretty casual, and the journalist in the foreground was experiencing this for the first time with zero training. A little panic seemed like a natural response.

What’s striking to me is all the MSM on-scene reporting on the Israel/Hamas war versus the dearth of reporting on the Ukraine/Russia war.

I doubt our intelligence goons and thugs want the MSM talking to random Ukrainian citizens. And that's just a guess but it fits a pattern.
