Video at the link...

Since everyone's apparently now in the business of alleging shocking private remarks others have made in the past - here's a VIDEO of a producer at CNN saying the Russia story is "mostly bulls**t." P.S. it has nearly 3 million views on YouTube whether CNN likes it or not ? pic.twitter.com/KsnjP7c8bV— James O'Keefe (@JamesOKeefeIII) August 16, 2018

Supervising Producer, CNN Health


Doesn't matter, he's a producer who quite plausibly attended programming meetings where the distribution of coverage was discussed, and certainly CNN's coverage would be subject to shop talk among employees in Atlanta HQ. Either way he's a good source.

This video was published on YouTube on June 26, 2017. Who knows when it was shot. Mueller started his part of the investigation on May 17, 2017. What are the chances of a Supervising Producer at CNN Health knowing what information Mueller has just a few days after Mueller starts his investigation?


This has nothing to do with Mueller. The Russian Conspiracy propaganda started a few days after the Election, pushed by the same outlets that laughed with Obama about the impossibility of ANYBODY (including domestic actors with decades of electioneering experience) rigging a national election.

No serious person believes you can rig a national election.

Did you think this was a new video?



Nope.

Who said anything about riging a national election. You started by talking about collusion. What did Trump know about the meeting with Russians about getting dirt on Hillary. It's pretty simple stuff. Either Trump fucked up and broke laws or he didn't. Mueller will figure it out.



Collude to do what? Rig the Election for Trump.

Mueller has nothing on Trump and the Jury just asked for the Judge to clarify Reasonable Doubt, which is usually a bad sign for the prosecution.

Just watched more of the undercover interview.

Bonifeld says the "CEO is persistent" in following "Russian Collusion". I would imagine an Editor would know about CNN's focus and why.

How about Van Jones, CNN's Liberal darling of their channel?

CNN’s Van Jones Calls Trump-Russia Story ‘Nothing Burger,’

CNN political commentator and host Van Jones called the widely reported investigations and allegations of collusion between President Donald Trump and Russia a “nothing burger” in a secretly recorded video, according to The Hill.

It's the second time in two weeks Jones has spoken publicly about the Russia investigations in similar language.

The newest video, filmed by conservative outlet Project Veritas, comes a day after another video of CNN employee, producer John Bonifield, called the Trump-Russia saga “bullsh*t” and that the cable news network was continuing to cover the story only because it was good for ratings.

Looks like both these guys sat in the same meetings and it was agreed that it was a bullshit story.

Interesting, was it Mueller who was briefing them?



Way to miss the point. Point is that more than one person at CNN was told the Russian Collusion story was BS and it was about ratings.

"But, they are the responsible Free Press. They're not the enemy."

Nobody becomes a journalist to report the news, but to distort it to their worldview (and for ratings).

If PoMo Theory is good enough for race, it's good enough for the Legacy Media. Legacy Media is the oppressor! Everything they say is a lie. :)

Turnabout is fair play.

was told
they weren't told, they felt, there is a difference.


Ahhh, I see... nobody talks between themselves and shares information in that building. They all live in their own bubbles, right?

I'm sure many journalist do become journalists to report the news.


Is that what they do every day at CNN, report the "news". Doesn't CNN stand for "Cable News Network"? Care to tell us what "news" they're reporting lately?

They fill their day with non-stop TDS:

Opinions

False Narratives

Editorials

Rumors

Unnamed Sources

Non-Issues

They should really change their name, since they DON'T report breaking "news" anymore. The new name should be TBN (Trump Bashing Network), then it would be more factual and accurate and not false advertising.
