Veritas: CNN Producer Admits Hyping ‘Mostly (bleep) Trump-Russia Scandal for ‘Ratings’ (Trunc.)
Breitbart Big Government ^ | June 26, 2017 | Matthew Boyle

Posted on 06/27/2017 6:39:36 AM PDT by libstripper

ames O’Keefe’s Project Veritas has struck again: This time, a senior CNN producer was caught on camera by one of O’Keefe’s investigators admitting that the network’s relentless bashing of President Donald Trump with the Russia scandal lacks proof.

“Could be bullshit. I mean, it’s mostly bullshit right now,” the CNN producer, John Bonifield, said in a video O’Keefe’s Project Veritas released on Tuesday, when asked about his thoughts on the Russia investigation. “Like, we don’t have any giant proof. Then they say, well there’s still an investigation going on. And you’re like, yeah, I don’t know. If they were finding something we would know about it. The way these leaks happen, they would leak it. They’d leak. If it was something really good, it would leak…. The leaks keep leaking and there’s so many great leaks, and it’s amazing. I just refuse to believe that if they had something really good like that that wouldn’t leak because we’ve been getting all these other leaks. So, I just feel like they don’t really have it but they want to keep digging. And so I think the president is probably right to say, like, look you are witch hunting me. You have no smoking gun. You have no real proof.”

CNN is pure sedition.
No other definition can apply here.

They actively seek to upend the government with lies.

Can’t wait to hear what Trump has to say about this video. One more Tweet and a few million more hits for Project Veritas and this devastating CNN exposé.

This is such fun.

CNN is a crass Leftist propaganda center and only one of many Democratic/globalist media outlets. They cover themselves with the cloak of “journalists” but they are really saboteurs of American culture. Their agenda is to make America a socialist cog in the globalist conglomerate.

Imagine a new jingle for CNN. The music starts as the CNN turns towards the viewers. The music builds as the logo gets more clearly into view. Then at its climax as the music reaches its highest, James Earl Jones’ voice pronounces loudly and clearly, “CNN, Mostly Bull$hit”

Zucker is CNN

Zuckerberg is Facebook

Zucker can be fired, probably will be soon, but Zuckerberg owns controlling interest in FB, I believe, so probably isn’t going anywhere soon.

*** I think you mean “overestimate.” ***

Maybe not. The media will ignore this, the average American is already sick of it all and won’t pay any attention to what little gets through the wall of silence.

So, perhaps underestimate is the right word?

You would be right, for sure, except for one thing: DJT is President, and has the biggest "Bully Pulpit" in the world. He is bigger than the media, and can set the agenda to anything he wants. He can take command of the news cycle any time he wants. The MSM-Democrats cannot bury this bombshell story, and I don't think the idea of CNN's Zuckerberg getting canned is that far-fetched.

If you take out Zucker and the fake ‘Russia’ hype....what exactly will be the item to draw dedicated viewers to CNN?

Here's my guess:

I’m guessing Mr. Bonifeld is having an interesting morning...

Just wish someone could lob this stinkbomb into DUmp and watch the fur fly!

Looks like the Bond film ‘Tomorrow Never Dies’ was a bit ahead of its time...

Something tells me this ruined Bonifield’s day..... week .... year.

Not so good for his bosses, either!

Resign now, Zucker!!

ofc just claiming a few more CNN scalps is only the beginning.... need a total MSM shake-up and reformation.

But isn’t this narrative the same deal with the WASHPO and NY Times as well?

If all of this dissolves now....then the whole Flynn thing is wrapped up and full of nothing. Why even bother with a special prosecutor?

Let’s list the vermin aka traitors:

Zero, Lynch, Jarrett, Rice, Holder, Cummings, Schumer, Pelosi, Comey, Mueller, Waters, Franken, ...

They’re all crawling out from under their rocks where they were spawned, IMO.
