CNN Vehemently Rejects Joe Rogan-Fueled Conspiracy Theory That CNN Aired Trump Rally Because They Knew He’d Be Shot
Mediaite ^ | Joe DePaolo

Posted on 03/03/2025 7:12:37 AM PST by hardspunned

CNN vehemently rejected a conspiracy theory that has taken hold on the Right — which suggests that the network somehow had advance knowledge of the attempt on President Donald Trump’s life.

The theory has been making the rounds following Joe Rogan’s podcast with Elon Musk — which was posted on Friday . In a clip from the podcast being widely circulated, Rogan seemed to suggest that because CNN broadcast the rally, it knew about the assassination attempt beforehand.

“You also know that CNN streamed it live, which I do not believe they did for any other rally — and certainly not for a rally in the middle of nowhere in Pennsylvania. Like, there’s a lot of weird shit.”

Conspiracy theory, my big toe. That’s exactly what happened! Sources within the Biden Administration tipped CNN off that THEY were going to kill Trump that day.

You wait, once Blondi and Kashwood start investigating, you’ll see.

It’s only a conspiracy until it isn’t.

Based on what I had read they had never carried a Trump rally live prior to this. Much less one in some relatively rural area of PA.

They did it. What’s the “conspiracy” theory? What else can be the explanation. “They” planned a Kennedy Dallas redux. CNN lies consistently. Why would this statement from them be any different?

Nobody would be surprised if it were true.

Just a coincidence? Just like CNN being present for FBI lawfare SWAT raids at 4 a.m.

CNN might not have been tipped that Trump was going to get his brains blown out but they were told to BE THERE!

This “conspiracy” was out there the day after Butler. CNN doesn’t attend those, but they were there that day.

Not really a conspiracy.

Nikki Haley and Mike Pompeo also knew.

Sadly, I think he has at least a 50/50 chance of being right.

They’ve had cameras at every rally since 2015, hoping to get a soundbite they could lie about

They just never aired the whole thing

I watched a couple excerpts of the Musk/JRE interview.
I plan on sitting down and watching the whole thing this week. All three hours.

We’re gonna need some proof of no other CNN coverage prior to that rally before this can go further.

And how many times LIVE does CNN cover Trump rallies when he’s not the President?

Ever? Maybe never after 2021?
Until Butler?

IIRC there was also word that the NYT photog had a super high speed lens not normally used at such events.

Speaking the truth is often just a matter of raising the right questions.

That is all Rogan and Musk are doing is asking the right questions.

My central question is how could a twenty-year old dietary assistant at a nursing home make his way on to a rooftop with a kill shot so easy even a caveman could do it, all the while being scoped by counter snipers who let him get off eight shots?

So far radio silence from the gubmint on that question.

The question is who told CNN to be there.

Hey CNN - how live Trump rallies did you cover during the 2024 Presidential campaign ?

Simple question.
