CNN Producer Calls its Trump/Russia Coverage 'Mostly Bulls*** '

Well, we don't know anything because it's a CLOSED investigation.

"Political commentator Van Jones caught on camera plainly stating that “the Russia thing is just a big nothing burger.”"

This was already taken out of context.

Come on @Gaga Monster , 

 

Also, isn't this the same group that produced those fake PP videos?

"The Russia Story will be the downfall of the DNC and may ensure Trump a second term. The Democrat Party needs to focus on progressive values and real solutions to real problems. "

The Russia story is only in full swing because the Trump admin keeps giving people a reason to talk about it. And there's already factual info about meddling. The Dems don't have any control in congress or the WH. Why in the hell would you tell them to do anything? The Republicans tried obstructing Obama for 8 years. And now it's the DNCs fault? The DNC has nothing to do with this btw. Like really? You're better than instantly going to this propaganda... Just stop protecting Trump and his friends. 

When the CEO and Producer of CNN is saying there is nothing there about Russia and they are bringing it up because of ratings, that is a problem. Plus they admitted it is a witch hunt. 

I will say this, the DNC is continuing to bring up Russia, CNN and MSNBC are talking about Russia I would say 70% of the time, and when it is 2020 and they found no collusion between Russia and the Trump Team, Trump will have ad after ad saying how corrupt and how much of a witch hunt the Democrats were and it will help him. The Democrats should be talking about progressive values, talk about minimum wage, single payer, and other issues that affect real people around the country. Progressive values will help the Dems win in 2020 since most Americans agree with them, not Russia. 

And I don't support Trump, I am very far left. But I don't like it when any big media outlet tries to push the same Russia narrative day after day when they admit there is nothing their.

"O’Keefe has a criminal record from an effort to illegally infiltrate a Democratic senator’s office."

But I thought Trumps didn't like leaks?

So why are you trusting these reports? Why is this going to mold your viewpoint? 

There are no evidence of a Trump/Russia collusion and I do believe the media plays on it a lot for sensationalism. Never trust the media since forever, I'll believe something when I see it. I don't understand why you feel the need to defend CNN? Even if you hate Trump which 99% of us do, it's healthy to look at things in an objective way.

Later that year, O’Keefe attempted to lure a CNN correspondent, Abbie Boudreau, onto a boat filled with sex toys in order to film the encounter and “punk” Boudreau, who was reporting a story on conservative filmmakers. Among the props O’Keefe reportedly intended to use were a jar filled with condoms, posters and paintings of naked women, fuzzy handcuffs and a blindfold. Boudreau declined the invitation.

So you don't trust the FBI investigation, but do trust this propaganda mess? Where's their proof? That's called being objective. 

I actually will defend CNN ANNND Trump here. Trump isn't being investigated for collusion... Michael Flynn and former aides/managers/etc are the ones in trouble. I will defend against such bogus narratives. However, a lot of what comes at the Trump admin is that the Trump admin just makes it worse for themselves. It's hard to feel sorry for them.

If we're going to be objective, then lets set off a protest against Breitbart, Fox News, MSNBC, Alex Jones, etc. oh wait. Some of those news sources agree with conservatives. Do you see why that point will never work? Sometimes you just have to follow the most credible sources. Does CNN over sensationalize? Sure. But are they pulling fake news right out of their asses? No. They're doing investigative journalism. There's no word of them being 100%. That's why we have reporting. And most of the time their news comes straight from the WH. And if people want to say that this is a distraction from getting real policies done, then those people can get policies done. CNN isn't obstructing anything on capitol hill. Republicans have complete control. CNN will continue to report on what comes to them. If anything, it's an opportunity for Trump to get things done. And I welcome that. But nothing will. 

I don't get the narrative of why we have to dislike CNN, but as soon as some propaganda comes out against CNN, we must be "objective" and see that as fact. CNN at least corrects its news reporting if they get news wrong. At least they fire employees for releasing info to outside sources. 

But I understand that objection is key. But let's not pretend that the Trump admin and Project Veritas is more reliable.

Conservative filmmaker James O’Keefe was sentenced to three years of probation, 100 hours of community service and a $1,500 fine after he pleaded guilty on Wednesday to misdemeanor charges stemming from his involvement in a break-in at Sen. Mary Landrieu’s (D-La.) office.

Also, why are conservatives going after CNN for this "exposure" when they did little to nothing when there were a million different exposures of Trump and his administration? 

If we're going to be objective, then y'all need to practice what you preach.

And CNN should be ashamed of themselves

The "Russia Story" is being investigated by the FBI and by independent counsel, who has brought in some of the top legal minds in the country. CNN is not the Democratic Party. Neither Bernie nor Warren are ignoring or diminishing the possible political and criminal connections that Trump and his people have to unlawful and unethical acts.

CNN is doing exactly what they should be doing- reporting the news.

You should be ashamed of yourself for posting this propaganda mess from this Project Veritas. Believing everything you run across is what got you into voting for Trump and talking about him like he was going to be the savior of the world. 

Your wild swing from constant Trump adoration and promotion to ultra progressive to now posting straight propaganda isn't going to fly. I know what you're doing here.

It's not fake. Overexposed? Sure. The only cringy thing about the investigation are the idiots who think that Trump will get impeached. If anything, Michael Flynn will get the axe. But Trump including himself in these discussions doesn't help his cause either. 

But we can't say for sure until the investigation is over. 

I know the whole Russia thing isn't fake. You don't think every high power nation hacks into each others stuff to find things. You don't think the US hacks into Russia's databases?? It happens with every country. They need to stop acting like this is new. This is the digital age. 

here are the facts:

Trump wont get impeached  

Trump had nothing to do with Russia  

Russia did tamper with somesort of database surround the election. 

Please don't quote me. Im tired of defending myself cause I voted for Trump. Do i agree with all this decisions? No. Does anyone ever agree with all their presidents decision? Definitely not. Do I think he had more promise than corrupt and lying Hillary Clinton? Yes.

The CEO didn't say that. Stop making things up. 

The HEALTH (and Sciences) Producer at CNN thinks that they are spending too much time on Russia. He wanted to spend more time on Trump pulling out of the Climate Accord. He hasn't "seen any proof" because he isn't involved directly with any of the independent counsels that are investigating the Russia collusion. 

You have no idea what they will or will not find and where this road will lead. The independent counsel and investigators in NY are now following the money. Democrats are talking about healthcare, nonstop. The news media =/= Democrat legislators. 

It isn't up to a news outlet to decide the outcome of the investigation. They have not said that there is nothing there. The news outlets will report on what people are interested in hearing about.
