CNN has denied claims by conservative websites that a photo of Chris Harper-Mercer, the man who shot and killed nine people at Umpqua Community College in Oregon last week, was altered to make him appear white. But a report on his mother, who is black, used footage of white hands to illustrate her making web postings on Tuesday.

A CNN report aired Tuesday on CNN's "The Lead with Jake Tapper" noted there are "new questions whether the mother of the Oregon shooter … shares at least some of the responsibility for the tragedy."

CNN mentioned that the shooter had Asperger, but noted that the condition is not associated with violence.

During the report discussing Harper's posts to the website, two different times close-ups of women's hands are shown typing at a computer keyboard. Both times, the footage used appear to be the hands of white women.

What a bunch of fraudulent clowns at CNN.

The dem 'debates' CNN is hosting should be good for a laugh or two... it'll be one big 'liberal butt kissing' shame-fest....

If Obama had a son, he'd look like the Oregon murderer.

The stabbing last night in Sacramento appears to be confirmation, the Oregon shootings were in retaliation for the takedown of the French train shooter.

"... George Zimmerman, the whitest Hispanic in the Universe."

"Hispanics," to use Jimmy Carter's term, *ARE* white.
Latino is a culture or an ethnicity, but it's not a race. Unless as in the case of some Mexicans, there's a lot of "Indio" in their ancestry...

Yes, and the alternate reality that they and the big ad agencies are presenting is that negroes represent at least one half of the population; that they are the most attractive, intelligent and accomplished race; and -—most recently-—that great looking white women hook up regularly with negro males.

This goes far beyond appealing to a certain demographic for commercial purposes. This appears to be a massive, coordinated “perception is reality” propaganda effort. It would be interesting to know who is really behind it.

I agree. And I’ll bet the msm knows that too.

It may not be a single “who.”

Large numbers of people can work for a goal based on a shared ideology.

looks like the side-by-side “tweet” that CNN lazily used also photoshopped the guys nose tip. MSM, not only sycophants but lazy.

Tell that to the media, which counts Hispanics as 100% non-white with George Zimmerman being the lone exception.

It’s easy to see that there was serious retouching of the perp’s pic. Th left side of his face in the darker picture has a series of highly visible blemishes running from a mole just above is left lip and to just under the line of his glasses. The “white” pic, OTOH, only shows a vague blemish where his mole is and the blemishes under the line of his glasses have been totally whited out.
