CNN Now Worried Ferguson Shooting Audio Is Hoax
Breitbart's Big Journalism ^ | August 27, 2014 | John Nolte

Posted on 08/27/2014 4:53:21 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

When CNN first broadcast the unverified audio of the shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, MO, it was with all the sturm and drang of breathless breaking news. The audio led almost every hour and was the biggest story of the day.

What a difference a day makes. The language coming from "New Day" anchor Michaela Pereira Wednesday morning is much more cautious. "Do you think it's authentic?" she squeaked to two law enforcement experts, both of whom believe it is a hoax:

(VIDEO-AT-LINK)

Even if the audio ends up being authentic, the fact that CNN is now concerned over its authenticity and laying the groundwork to claim they were always skeptical, tells you how irresponsible the network is. The prejudicial audio never should have been aired prior to authentication. But this is exactly the kind of incendiary behavior we have come to expect from the news network that disgraced itself more than any other during the George Zimmerman affair.

CNN's timing of the release made perfect sense....

I immediately thought it was fake. How come no one thinks it’s odd that the guy on the tape is incredibly calm as he continues to talk to his “lady” despite the hail of bullets nearby? (”Oh baby...you’re so fine baby”...) Not once does he say: “What the **** is that?” as the bullets continue to fly.

In other news, CNN is in talks with Dan Rather for a multi-year contract anchoring his own show, right after that Maddow guy.

“Oh gee - you would think that CNN would have vetted the story first before airing it ... whoops .....”

Yeah, like our local Fox “affiliate”did when the Koreans had problems getting to the SFO runway. Pilots were immediately identified (w/o verification) as: BANG DING OW, WE TOO LO, HO LEE FUK, and SUM TING WONG.

My late father when he was a tyke during the depression went and fetched his grandmother her pipe while she sat on the porch of their home. After she had finished, my dad says he saw his already departed grandfather appear on the porch, take her hand and they walked away. She had passed away, of course.

I am not a forensic audiologist but I did download some simple software and was able to clean up the audio a little.

I managed to get the horny guy silenced and enhance the background...

Here it is.

Shades of Dan Rather and his “fake but accurate” National Guard letter.

In other words, CNN took over 24 hrs to come to the conclusion we stupid conservatives came to roughly 15 seconds after the video started?

CNN - The network that said the pilot of the Chinese airline that crashed in San Fran was ‘Un Flu Lo’.
