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.”

This now puts the Mueller thing where? Because this tape basically confirms the suspicion people have had that the Russia thing is BS. And if CNN is admitting it, then you know da*n well the politicians and other bureaucratic functionaries know the same and continue to perpetuate the lie.

Agenda 21 Radio will be discussing this in the next couple of minutes (6:50am PT)

Good, since Laura Ingraham has veered off to discuss gay wedding cakes.

The REAL Russian Pravda is more truthful than CNN! And RT (Russia Today) is REALLY more truthful and more excellent all around!!!!

CNN started going off the rails with its totally fake, biased and Goebbels-like anti-Serbian covfefe in the 1990s!!!! (That’s when we started calling it the clinton News Network!) And it has been on a downhill slide ever since!!!

CNN Producer John Bonifield could lose his job very soon. And now, CNN President Jeff Zucker could face the same fate.

Mueller is on borrowed time. He has to put up or shut up.

Don’t start bringing up arcane pieces of international financial law that are technical violations. Which is a likely outcome with the staff he assembled.

It actually blows the credibility of the whole MSM, who have been pushing this story to take Trump out, out of the water. This just destroyed "new" for decades. The bias can always be questioned now.

We might get some real news channels now.

Time to pull CNN’s credentials to the White House pressers.

But not before they frog-march Jim Acosta off the grounds.

But CNN overstepped their bounds

Not just CNN but every single MSM outlet and talk show that has pushed this fake story. This is much bigger than CNN, they just were the ones that admitted it was a fake story. This took them all down.

Trump should kick out CNN until Time Warner management fires Jeff Zucker or Zucker resigns of his own volition.

But CNN displayed the most obvious bias. Taking them down gives a warning to other MSM outlets they won’t forget soon.

Excellent Journalism by O’Keefe and Project Veritas.

What we have at the mainstream media is not liberal bias. It is deliberate outright lying.

That is all it is.

And the purpose is to try to undermine and destroy the Trump presidency.

The improved ratings are part of the reason but the main reason is to destroy Trump.
