Sarah Huckabee Sanders lambastes fake news and then promotes a journalist known for deceptive videos
You could be forgiven for getting a sense of whiplash if you watched the White House briefing Tuesday.
In the span of a few seconds, deputy White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders attacked the media for inaccuracies and then turned around and urged them to watch a new video from conservative undercover video journalist James O'Keefe, who has stood accused of deceptive editing and tactics. Huckabee Sanders even qualified twice that she couldn't vouch for the accuracy of O'Keefe's new video. But she nonetheless said everyone should watch them.
The comments at Tuesday's briefing were spurred by three journalists resigning after CNN retracted a story about the White House and the Russia investigation that it acknowledged wasn't thoroughly vetted.
"I don't know that it's that the response isn't good enough for the president. I think it's the constant barrage of fake news that is directed at this president, probably, that has garnered a lot of his frustration. You point to that report; there are multiple other instances where that outlet that you referenced has been repeatedly wrong and had to point that out or had to correct it. There's a video circulating now whether it's accurate or not, I don't know but I would encourage everyone in this room and, frankly, everybody across the country to take a look at it. I think if it is accurate, I think it's a disgrace to all of media, to all of journalism."

A senior producer at CNN has described the intense speculation that Russia aided the Trump presidential campaign as bullsh*t. Filmed on a hidden camera, CNN producer John Bonifield admits the organizations anti-Russia reporting is purely for ratings.
Its mostly bullsh*t right now. Like, we dont have any big giant proof, Bonifield tells a reporter in secretly-filmed footage released by conservative activist James OKeefe via Project Veritas.
