Veritas: CNN Producer Admits Hyping ‘Mostly (bleep) Trump-Russia Scandal for ‘Ratings’ (Trunc.)

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.”

Can’t wait to hear what Trump has to say about this video.

He should use it as one more justification to shut down Mueller's "investigation."

Hannity is calling for producer to be fired.

Wow! A great birthday gift for my best friend.

Thank you, O’Keefe!

Thank you, Project Veritas!

Thank you, Fellow Travelers!

This now puts the Mueller thing where?

Hoping and praying he finds some other BS issue they can run with 24 hrs a day

[HotHunt]

Wow! CNN lying and making up stories? Beating the deader than dead horse until it's deader? Tell me something I don't already know.

Stop calling these people the "media". They are nothing more than a propaganda arm of the democRAT party.

[HotHunt]

They will revert to their always reliable fallback story, the missing Malaysian airliner and the black hole that swallowed it that CNN hostess Donna Lemon fretted about so much.

And this is all happening as CNN is airing a special “The Russia connection” tonight.

“Time Warner upper management and they will toss CNN President Jeff Zucker under the bus quickly. “

TW doesn’t give a flying fuch about any of this as long as Jeff keeps making them money.

Underestimate... overestimate... what difference, at this point, does it make?

***********

Actually, you’re right about that. Either way, CNN’s reputation and image have taken a serious hit. So bad that it may well be easy to underestimate, and hard to overestimate because O’Keefe’s video is REALLY revealing and damaging. This is the kind of “sting” that leads to lasting damage to the brand.

To be sure, CNN still has its loyal and fanatical base of followers, but average people see the network for the vicious propaganda machine that it is and will never trust them again.

Timing is also great. Republicans announced that they were going to run against the mainstream media in the 2018 midterms.

Again, GOD BLESS JAMES O’KEEFE for his courage and honor!

This article is interesting bc it says (back in Feb. 2017) that O'Keefe already had "hundreds of hours" of insider footage on an unnamed media giant which the article identified as probably CNN. So O'Keefe & co. have been at this for a long time and should have plenty more gems:

(February 2017) James O'Keefe hints that his next big target is CNN

[Cementjungle]

Time Warner may fire CNN President Jeff Zucker by the end of this week.

They'll increase his bonus for being creative and increasing ratings.
