For your perusal...
CNN Camerawoman "Not Surprised" by Peanut-Throwing..."People Think We've Gone Further Than We Have" "I was hoping this story would go away," she said. "I'm not interested in talking to any other media about this."

"I was hoping this story would go away," she said. "I'm not interested in talking to any other media about this."

Translation: "It was staged, and we don't want people to find out."

Their “Passes” were taken away. NOT their “Credentials”. That means they aren’t Delegates.

Yes, I know she was not really attacked. I was just playing along with their absurdity....

Circle jerk journalism. CNN reports it. 92 other media outlets pick up the CNN report with no verifying details in it. No one does any independent investigation or fact check of the CNN report. They all report it as if true and verified. The only outlet to get an actual statement from the alleged victim is an organization designed to advance racial grievances. Hmmmmmm. BS!!!

Carroll said no one took the names of the attendees who threw peanuts at her Tuesday on the convention floor and told her, "This is what we feed animals." She alerted fellow camera operators, producers and CNN security. The head of the delegation — she was not certain of the state — told her the perpetrators must have been alternates, not delegates.

No one took their names? I don't believe it.

She doesn't remember which state? I don't believe her.

Neither RNC security nor the police took their names? They didn't get their passes either? So what did they do to ensure they wouldn't come back?

A camerawoman with no camera to record the incident?

But she knows racism when she sees it.

And thousands of FReepers know BS when they hear it.

Even Wolf Blitzer could get this one, "I'll take 'Blatant Bull$hit' for $2000 Alex."

RNC ejects attendees for assaulting an African-American camera operator with peanuts
She and CNN are not talking to media. However, she agreed to talk to her friend and I promised to honor her request that I not name her.
She sure talked to the media.

Why would she allow her name to be used in one article and ask that it not be used in the other?

No question in my mind that this was an MSM plot.

“This is a RAT stunt.”

Like when Barney Frank and John Lewis claimed they were the targets of gay and racist insults and were spit on by some mythical Tea Partiers.
