Doubtful and i'm surprised mods allow these bait threads by mmj_uk; at the very least i would have thought they'd get moved to SC :confused:

Don’t think he’s allowed there and if he is, he’s far too scared to post in there because unlike GD, he will be challenged with his insanity laden posts.

The ones who don’t wear tin foil hats and arent raging CT lunatics like @tang0 :p

oh hey @tang0 looks like your pizzagate or should I say pizzagaetz is true eh?? Unfortunately it’s not Clinton’s that are the paedos here but rather it’s a Republican....it’s always a Republican ;).
Oh dear how sad eh??
 
I have no doubt that CNN deliberately pushed an anti-Trump message while he was in office, but this guy was not responsible. He's a technical director, he pushes buttons in a studio. He's not responsible for content.

I'd love to see the unedited video.
 
I'm not sure Project Veritas is a completely reliable source :D

The broader point is fairly sound though; Most push an agenda. Always treat what you read in the media with suspicion, try & get your information from as many sources as you can, & pay special attention to intelligent subversion from those platforms that act under the cover of being supposedly more 'reputable' /fact-based (CNN/BBC/Guardian etc)
 
None of this is surprising and will get brushed under the carpet like similar news. There is no such thing as an impartial news channel, CNN should just be honest with viewers and stop pretending to be a news channel.

This.

I hope people commenting have actually watched the video/s, the majority of it isn't as heavily edited as the first few seconds, which is just a quick fire of the salient points.

I get the feeling many of you are throwing the baby out with the bathwater here because you absolutely cannot stand the thought of agreeing with anything Project Veritas has to say. You don't have to agree with everything Project Veritas stands for to find this video interesting. The reason this work is important is that in public polling CNN is viewed as neutral and fact based, as opposed to Fox and MSNBC. You might say "we all know this is how it is, nothing to be seen here" but that just isn't true. This video goes some way to correcting the view people have of CNN, and I'm all for that.
 
Its one guy in a pub(?) mouthing off, with commentary from a extremely biased propaganda outfit with a history of ********. Its hardly an expose or anything earth shattering. :cry:

If they were honest about it it's wouldn't be as much of an issue, it's still not ideal that any "News" channel would go to these kind of extremes to discredit or lie about their president or conservatives/democrats in general. I just wonder how much of an impact they had on the election results, probably effected the results far more than the Russians ever could have.

Definitely worth sharing with some normies to get them to open their eyes.
 
It shouldn't be a shock to anyone that CNN is biased. If you can't accept that then there is something wrong with your world view.

All media outlets are biased these days. In the past they attempted to try and be neutral by hiring people of the opposite ideological views to contribute to them. But these days they have given that up and are now outright propagandists for whatever ideology they are pushing.

I think the people shocked by this confirm something I've thought for a while, that there seems to be this moralising attitude of people of a certain view that their news source is telling the truth, while every other news source are liars etc. As an example of this view, just because a company names itself a fact checker doesn't automatically mean its neutrally checking facts. They are like the Ministry of Truth in 1984, a book I recommend people read.

Nobody is shocked. A bias doesnt necessarily mean lies either.
 
Why is hearing somebody of that stature, openly saying the main thing was to get Trump out of office is NOT really concerning ?. How can people trust or believe the network when personal views are entangled into the reporting. Its a very serious fundamental to remain partial. Otherwise you get what other people "want" you to think. A controlled report. Platforming certain details, not mentioning other. Its almost like, this is how we want you to think. You must agree, or you are wrong. That is a pretty ideological mentality.
There must be more done from the government to hold these networks to account. May as well go back to subliminal messaging. :)

Until Trump was banned from social media nothing was done about his 4 years of lying other than some small fact checking at the end of his failed presidency.
When the majority of things are generally marked "opinion pieces" a lot of these agencies can do what they like.
