[NEWs] CNN got caught for faking news.

[Master Matthew²]

sounds like i was right. gg

Sounds like you didn't read the article any further than the link.
This was a CNN report and supposedly these were protestors they allowed past the barrier, which is shady for a number of reasons

ie cherry picked protestors to support a narrative.

Past whose barrier? Since when does CNN have the jurisdiction to close down streets?

[King Tøny]

You do realize mainstream news is in cahoots with each other? Why would they report on this and discredit CNN further? loving think for two seconds dude

Don't forget that George Soros practically owns every MSM network.

Welcome to the world of political slant, a world that includes every news source, mainstream or otherwise, in existence

“The group of demonstrators that was at the police cordon was being allowed through by officers so they could show their signs to the gathered media. The CNN crew along with other media present simply filmed them doing so.” - CNN

This was in the article posted by e-maxx, if anyone could have been bothered enough to read it, then you would know that this was in there.

And this counts as CNN faking protestors how?

It sounds like they saw a good opportunity for a story and filmed it. Biased? Sure, I'll agree with that. But it's not like they're hiring actors to fake protesting like Tony is implying.

that's a slant, not ""fake news""

I mean you seem to be okay with cnn doing it all the time, and i'm okay with it too, so why are you so upset when CNN does it?

its biologically impossible to be entirely unbiased on any issue, so of course human reporters are going to default to whatever issue they see first that is in tune with their political beliefs. it's called being human, and having a news site with a different political opinion is called 'news'

stop acting like MSM is some anomalous entity hell-bent on removing all truth from existence. the best MSM does is report on an issue with a slight slant. Compared to the underground news sources that go all out on obsessing over people they don't agree with, news outlets like CNN, FOX, MSBC, PBS and others seem to know how to keep their work out of the fiction realm 95% of the time

that's a slant, not ""fake news""

Selecting specific peaceful protestors from """""protests""""" to claim the entire protest is peaceful is fake news, and trying to make them appear to be the entire protest is not only fake news, its propaganda.

except cnn is fake news, not slant
slant is telling something somewhere between the truth and half-truths, while fake news is just outright spouting bullstuff

And when cnn, breitbart or buzzfeed selects a small group of violent rioters to claim the entire protest is violent, that's apparently real news and not propaganda?

the whole 'forget MSM' charade is so loving inconsistent i can't keep up with it at all. one minute interviewing a protester is propaganda and another minute forging entire articles about a female president is the absolute truth

Propaganda is creating false evidence for a false narrative to support a movement or belief, CNN is Propaganda

And when cnn selects a small group of violent rioters to claim the entire protest is violent, that's apparently real news and not propaganda?

IIRC
Info wars just puts a fat crazy man behind a desk to scream bullstuff about everything being a globalist conspiracy and the only way to stop it is to buy his merch.

Or a brit standing infront of the same poster for all eternity editing clips together whilst sighing and being a pretencious windbag.

[Insert Name Here²]

If a protest has rioters with the same agenda, then the entire protest event is not peaceful. It would be peaceful if there were 0 rioters at the event.

[PhantOS]

master i'm sure whatever un-renovated basement you get your news from is definitely more sincere and truthful than the 1984 mainstream propaganda known as CNN

If a protest has rioters with the same agenda, then the entire protest event is not peaceful. It would be peaceful if there were 0 rioters at the event.
