BABABOOEY!!!

Was CNN pranked yet again by that infamous Howard Stern show fan, Captain Janks aka Tom Cipriano, when they played an audio of a sexy online chat with ten shots going off in the background  supposedly in Ferguson, MO at the same time as the Michael Brown shooting? If so, it would be far from the first time that Captain Janks easily pranked CNN which is so desperate for ratings that vetting their sources is low/no priority.. As reported by Eric Wemple at the Washington Post,, experts appearing on CNN are now casting aspersions as to the authenticity of that audio and suspect it could be the result of a Howard Stern fan prank:

Boo Yah!

And social engineering is proven once again.

The lowest common denominator for interest in a story is to confirm an already deep seated belief and they will allow themselves to be taken in by social justice porn...

To be fair he was punched in one eye.

Might have been a bit woozy after being knocked silly by a man who outweighed him considerably. ..

Proof “talking heads” are not “listening heads”. That was a Ron Burgundy moment.

When a tape starts out with two people making out one should instantly suspect Howard Stern...of course if one has an agenda nothing would dissuade them from running with it!!!

I've been laughing for two days whenever that tape is played. The monotone of Mr. Sexy is hysterical. Then, to have the sound of shots being fired in the background and the guy never breaks stride is even funnier!

The whole thing is just an embarrassment the news industry, which is ok with me!

Lopa Blumenthal Twitter Feed

Check out what appears to be the Twitter feed of the attorney who released the audio. She seems to be making fun of the Tea Party. Also note that Ms. Blumenthal has not identified her "client".

CNN the Most Busted News Source.

I wonder if they still plan to release a tape from the store (or a missing part of the current tape) that shows Brown paying for the stuff?

and the scene at the door is reported to be the racist, evil, greedy store owner informing Brown, who had not yet left the store, that the price had just been increased and insisted Brown pay the difference because he was still in the store. Brown of course refused.

:)

Seriously I did hear a talk show caller state clearly that there is such a tape.

I say again.. anyone who is attacked and the attack is clearly related to the lies surrounding the tragic death -- that person suffering the attack should file a vicarious liability civil suit against all who told the lies.

The race-grievance industry has very deep pockets and their Black Privilege authority to tell lies does not make them exempt.

I was watching when CNN got pranked last Sunday morning covering the Napa earthquake. A man claiming to be a SFPD PIO said it was a “rumbling from Howard Stern’s butt crack.”

I’m loving this. I can’t stop laughing. This just proves the leftist media is nothing more than race-baiting, America hating wretches.

Amazingly idiotic statement, “no reason to believe it’s not true”.

Is there ANY evidence that it IS true?

They are laughing all the way to the bank.

Their job isn't to tell the truth, but to sell soap!

Ad space, that's where the revenue is!

The truth won't sell adtime like spectacular fiction.

Yep. Rush said yesterday he didn’t think it was legit.
