What exactly did CNN lie about?
None | 2/25/2017 | Self

Posted on 02/25/2017 5:42:27 AM PST by castlegreyskull

What did CNN lie about that got them locked out of the press meeting with Mr. Spicer?

I know that they heavily bias, incompetent, devious, and gave Hillary the debate questions.

It is easier to answer if you ask: “What didn’t CNN Lie about”?

"I know that they heavily bias, incompetent, devious, and gave Hillary the debate questions."

Just look at their channel- any given day they are 24/7 anti-Trump

Why should he bother talking to them?

There are many agencies that did not get into the meeting. what makes them so special?

Part of their lying is limiting news stories to those that just suit their agenda.

There’s a such thing as lying by omission. We hear their point of view instead of the objective truth. CNN is certainly not alone in the game.

The didn’t get locked out. They simply weren’t invited to join a gaggle while several other news sites were.

Substantively, the administration is angry with CNN’s most recent fake news hit job where they reported that “Preibus approached the FBI and tried to get them to issue a statement saying that there was no truth to the NY Times story about Trump campaign people being in close contact with Russians during the election.”

Since their coverage of Desert Storm CNN has become a filthy lying mouthpiece for the left. Almost every aspect of their newscast is planned, coordinated propaganda. I agree with above, “What did they NOT lie about?”

You beat me to it. That instantly popped into my head. If they are on the air and their lips are moving, they are probably lying

In general, CNN has no attention to detail. They sensationalize without any regard to facts or commonsense what so ever. My 3 favorite (non-political) CNN blunders are:

I think you are falling for the media lie on this story. This was not a briefing it was a gaggle, most news organizations are excluded and they usually have one print and one tv journalist there.

What happened this time was Spicer invited in some conservative press which got CNNs panties in a bunch. So even this story is a twisting of the facts.

The briefing “gaggle” was only for pool reporters. Sean Spicer decided to invite a few less biased news reporters.

2,950+ credentialed White House press reporters were not invited and would not have fit in the room Sean met in.

On a different note, CNN even lied about the nature of this gaggle.

The question you should ask is, “What doesn't CNN lie about?” It claims “anonymous official sources” that are always wrong, so they must not be speaking with “official sources,” correct?

Very Fake News – Back Story Behind Spicer Gaggle Shows CNN and NYT Constructing False Narrative…
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2017/02/24/very-fake-news-back-story-behind-spicer-gaggle-shows-cnn-and-nyt-constructing-false-narrative/

Videos on the page
Excerpt:

However, the truth behind the entire episode shows an entirely different story than the false narrative created by CNN.

On February 15th while discussing another issue FBI Assistant Director Andrew McCabe asked Reince for 5 minutes alone after the meeting. At the one-on-one McCabe told Priebus the New York Times Russia and Trump campaign story was a “bunch of BS”.

Priebus asked McCabe if McCabe would be able to say that publicly. McCabe said he would check. Later, McCabe called back and said he couldn’t issue a statement about it. SEE SCREENGRAB:
https://twitter.com/attackerman/status/835140122119131136

So the entire construct by CNN of the White House (via Priebus) trying to pressure the FBI is complete nonsense. Very Fake News…. aka a false narrative. It was the FBI who approached Priebus and wanted to clear the record.

Plus, I believe they designate one as a pool reporter where other agencies can get the transcripts, sort of like an ap feed

I agree with everything, everyone is saying. I wanted to have a real smoking gun to respond with when someone asked what exactly did they lie about. I simply don’t watch them to know any specifics.

That video of their reporter pretending to be on a yacht is very funny. The effects in that clip are comparable to that movie “Gnome Mobile.”

Distilled, CNN reported on an old story with a different twist. NY Times did a story about the FBI approached the administration with an investigation that basically said the Russian connection meme was pure BS. Preibus asked them if they could make that assessment public. They refused and it was dropped other than Preibus making a statement without naming the agency of the findings.

CNN decided to drop the first part and report that Preibus was trying to pressure the FBI into making a false statement.

During the election CNN was to the DNC/Clinton camp the same as Goebbels was to the Nazi party in Germany - absolute propaganda machine.

I think they must have complimentary drugs in their studio, much the same way a lot of work places offer free coffee to their employees.

[McCabe sound familiar?]

CNN’s BS Story on Priebus and the FBI

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3528826/posts

From the transcript:
“There’s a name involved in this story by the name of, a man by the name of Andrew McCabe. McCabe is the deputy director or senior deputy director or the third or fourth secretary or deputy whatever at the FBI. Does the name Andrew McCabe ring a bell to any of you? (interruption) Oh, come on! Let me take you back to October 24th, Sunday night. “[T]he Wall Street Journal reported,” on October 24th, a couple of weeks before the election, “McAuliffe’s political action committee…”

Terry McAuliffe, the governor of Virginia, “gave nearly $500,000 to the election campaign of Dr. Jill McCabe in her failed effort to win a seat in the Virginia state senate in 2015. Dr. McCabe was reportedly recruited by Gov. McAuliffe and other state Democratic Party officials to run for the seat. Her husband, Andrew McCabe, was serving as an associate director of the FBI during the state senate campaign. He was later promoted to deputy director of the FBI and assumed an oversight role in the Clinton email investigation.”
