"SNIP..............
CNN has responded to an undercover video shot by the organization run by right-wing provocateur James OKeefe and it says it has nothing to be ashamed of.
The video, which was released by Project Veritas on Tuesday, shows CNN Producer John Bonifield seemingly agreeing with someone that much of CNNs coverage of the Trump-Russia scandal is bullsh*t. Bonifield also said that President Donald Trump was probably right that the scandal was a witch hunt.
CNN stands by our medical producer John Bonifield, CNN said in response to the video. Diversity of personal opinion is what makes CNN strong, we welcome it and embrace it.
The network also noted that Bonifield is CNNs medical producer, and he does not work in political journalism and has no input on the networks Russia coverage.

Isn't it funny how his disregard of presumed innocence in all his videos,
is the basis of this video.

(17,984 posts)to back their crap. Look, I get it, they can't run it by intelligence or a Senate committee to make sure it's correct. But the actual reason for retraction was Scaramucci threatening a lawsuit. Because of that two Pulitzer prize winning journalists quit. Personally, I give more credit to Pulitzer prize winning journalists than Scaramucci.

They made crap up about Obama and Hillary too. Remember their parroting of Hillary's supposed fainting-spells? Did they not just interview Alex Jones of all people? Anything said on CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, etc. should always be taken with a grain of salt.
Our media is a crappy reality TV show, and all of it is equally garbage. They treat their viewers like mushrooms, if you know what I mean.
