Project Veritas Exposes CNN's 'Personal Vendetta' Against Trump
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
CNN is one of the most visible and prolific anti-Trump networks out there. Over the weekend, James O’Keefe and his Project Veritas team announced that they were working on a series based on information brought to them by an insider at the network. It’s what you’d expect from staff and management that has become infected with Trump Derangement Syndrome. Most of the top hosts hate Trump. CNN president Jeffrey Zucker hates him as well. So, it’s not shocking that the animus leeches into the programming. Zucker is heard on calls, giving marching orders to focus on impeachment and ignore other stories. He rips Fox News for peddling conspiracy theories and pretty much being fake news, which is just rich coming from this network that’s perpetually in third place. Fox is king. They will never beat them. So, chalk up the trash talk as one coming from an executive that will never reach an audience like that at Fox News. Other tidbits come from CNN’s floor manager, who described the aura of death that was in the air when Trump won the 2016 election while admitting that the network is partially to blame for Hillary’s loss with the non-stop coverage. Trump got around $2 billion in free media during the 2016 cycle. Floor Director Hiram Gonzalez is caught telling PV’s insider, “Between you and I, we created this monster and now we’re eating him full plate every single day. Media created the Trump monster.”
Meanwhile, CNN’s media coordinator admits that top hosts at the network, Jake Tapper, Anderson Cooper, Don Lemon, and Chris Cuomo, either hate or strongly dislike the president. Again, no shocker there (via PV ):
Cary Poarch, who works at CNN’s Washington D.C. Bureau, tells Project Veritas “I decided to wear a hidden camera…to expose the bias running rampant” at the network. Poarch documented CNN’s bias for months; recording undercover footage of numerous long-term employees, some of which talk about Jeff Zucker’s anti-Trump agenda. In the video are Nick Neville, Christian Sierra, Hiram Gonzalez, David Chalian, and Mike Brevna. These employee’s positions range from media coordinator to high-ranking executives. I decided to secretly record the 9:00am rundown call meetings with senior management and executives, says Poarch.
[…]
Jeff Zucker has served as president of CNN Worldwide since 2013. In recordings of daily phone calls, Zucker directed staffers to push the impeachment narrative.
“I want to stay with this, our top, top – our own reporters, our own political analysts, the top, the top [unintelligible] we have. Okay, so make sure we’re doing that. All these moves are moves towards impeachment. So, don’t – don’t lose sight of what the biggest story is.”
[…]
Nick Neville, a CNN Media Coordinator, also opened up to our insider. Neville tells our insider who really controls CNN’s programming, and how much top-down control Zucker exerts:
“Like, there are a lot of people who are out here trying to play like, just do what they think is the best journalistic integrity. Then you get on the 9am call and the big boss, Jeff Zucker, f**king tells what to do….”
“Jeff Zucker- basically president of CNN has a personal vendetta against Trump. Your own biases are gonna be there. They’re going to seep into what you think, they’re gonna seep into what you say, so if Jeff Zucker like blatantly hates Trump, and he runs CNN (which he does), it’s not gonna be positive (for you guys)…no I mean it’s not gonna be positive for Trump. He hates him. It’s gonna be negative!” Again, a lot of you already knew this; CNN has been a liberal bastion since the Bush administration. But now you have evidence from multiple people describing how this whole media operation is just one massive propaganda machine for the Democratic Party. This is the Democrat-media complex, confirmed with admissions from the people who work there.
And these clowns wonder why the “CNN sucks” chant remains popular four years later. Well, the Trump voters you so hate aren’t that stupid. In fact, they may be eons ahead of the political elite whose hatred is so intense for Trump, it could earn him another term in the White House because if there is one thing people do often when in the grips of such intense hatred—it’s that they make mistakes—huge mistakes. So, keep at it, CNN. You’re just one massive in-kind contribution to Keeping America Great.

Sounds like another nothingburger from Project Veritas.
We have a state media, Fox News, that spends every hour kissing president* Trump's ass. It is no surprise whatsoever that a competitor of Fox's might not be so accommodating of Trump.
Ya we know that an impersonator speaking as Zucker - saying the stuff that the defunct CNN says 24/7. Your'e right John, let's not look at it/sar
You object to the head of the network keeping the reporters and hosts minds on the biggest news story in the country. To you it is "bias" for him to emphasize "impeachment".
Its laughable Vic. James O'Keefe regularly shoots this sort of blanks.
I looked at the quotes from Zucker and there is no there there.
Roger Ailes who ran Fox News for 20 years was a Republican operative and a well known right winger. Did James O'Keefe investigate him? lol.
You mean like they've been doing for 3 years with the Russia hoax? Do you deny all of it is anti-Trump? Why is the trivia being used for a pre-determined impeachment a bigger story than what is going on in Syria?
Its laughable Vic. James O'Keefe regularly shoots this sort of blanks.
I don't blame you for hating him.
Trump asking the president of a foreign country to investigate his election opponent is an impeachable offense. Almost by definition an impeachable offense is not "trivial".
Trump denies reality so his followers deny reality too.
Notice Trump uses the pejorative "Democrat Party" to describe the Democratic Party.
We will see how you feel about the new precedents when the dems are back in the minority
If you believe that, then you should impeach. The truth lies with what you told us during the Russia hoax. Remember - you didn't care if he was innocent, you just wanted him out.
Trump denies reality so his followers deny reality too.
If it was reality, Schiff wouldn't need a "parody" and secret hearings and Pelosi would have allowed a vote on it.
Like that one in 2016? An election which a lot of people still don't accept nor respect? Like that one?
Yes - there is nothing democratic about the democrat party. He used his words well!
With luck the new Dem president will declare national emergencies to get their way.
You have a long wait for a new dem president
Lol, ya, that was another leftist power grab. How did that work out? We now have Trump appointing more Conservative Judges than anyone would have thought possible in a single term (only 3 years)!
Justice Kavanaugh should send that douche Harry Reid a thank you note.
And all the lower court judges as well. McConnell extended the new rules to all judges. Thanks Harry!
Trump's BFF Putin will have his troll farms hack into social media and blitz it with more and more so-called "Nothingburgers" in a typical Trumpian attempt to disseminate more of the Bone-Spur-Challenged one's "Fake News".
Liar liar Pants on Fire!
I'm a little vague as to why. I'm pretty damned sure that the left wouldn't complain about it if, in an alternate reality, President Biden asked the Ukraine to investigate former Vice President Trump. The left would simply say we need to know what kind of person Trump was and if he used his office to protect his son's illegal dealings (if any) in that country, the American people have a right to know. And they would be right.
Now, if Trump were trying to get the Ukraine to manufacture false evidence against the Bidens, I would certainly think that is an impeachable offense. But, to my knowledge, that isn't what was done. They asked them to investigate what happened. Why would that be an impeachable offense? How else would it be investigated? Send the FBI and tell the Ukraine they have no choice but to comply with our investigation? Like that's going to work.
Or is it your position that the fact that Biden is running for President mean that he should not be investigated? I don't know about you but I find the whole Biden/Burisma thing a bit fishy. I would certainly like to see someone taking a closer look at it. In the end, though, I don't understand why you think Trump asking the Ukrainian government to take a look at it would be impeachable. What, in your opinion, would be the right, non-impeachable way to get them to look into it?
as opposed to the same old precedents?
As opposed to the day when a judge was confirmed based upon his judicial qualifications or when the US Senate required a bit of bipartisan consent to confirm a justice/government official or when government officials weren't harassed/defamed or when the will of the American people via an election was accepted or when half the country wasn't called "clingers"/"deplorables" or when the rights of minority members in the House were respected or when "due process" rights were recognized.........I'm sure you get it.
Pretty sure that the Trump disaster guarantees a D president next time.
The economy sucks for coal workers, but I thought Crooked donnie swooped in and saved coal and was bringing coal jobs back...
ANOTHER LIE FROM CROOKED DONNIE
Closure of Arizona plant symbolizes the demise of coal and its human toll
The power plant's closure, which is likely in November, signals a warning for other coal mines and plants, dozens of which are likely to close in the West in coming years. Despite the best efforts of politicians from the U.S. president to tribal leaders to keep the plant open, it couldn't be saved.
But now you have evidence from multiple people describing how this whole media operation is just one massive propaganda machine for the Democratic Party.
Of course Fox News would never do anything like that-- they are equally fair to both Trump as well as the Dems!
/sarc
What about is never much of a defense
As it is written:
The best defense is a good offense!
(And Trump is nothing if not offensive!)
Nothing is more offensive than over-the-top raging progressives. Their legacy will always be what they did to decent people. We shall overcome!
Well, the Trump voters you so hate aren’t that stupid.
Well...If this nonsensical seed is any indication-- they certainly are!
Total mental midgets....
Because you don't like the truth, an obvious truth by the way?
Which truth? Trump literally said, "what you are hearing and seeing is not what's happening". And Rudy's famous, "truth isn't truth". If you'll believe them after that BS, you'll believe anything.
Truth involves honesty - like having hearings open to the public. The Washington Post's motto is "democracy dies in darkness". Adam Schiff needs to turn on the light switch!
Investigating criminal behavior is not a vendetta.
Besides, the Trump is a vendetta. "Stormy Who?" Comes to mind.
You really want to bring up Stormy? President Trump played her like the whore she is. How do you think he played Obama so easily?
But trump said that was all fake news. So you are attacking her, who is not married and giving trump, who IS married, a pass for cheating on his wife? [Removed]
LOL A porn star beat trump at his own game, gotta love it!
Mr. Trump netted a cool $62K off of that "deal". Who beat whom again?
And at the time of the "affair", she was between hubbies........and was married up until last year to number three.
Yes but Trump is bringing a bunch of whore's back to work-- just look at his cabinet!
When have they done that?
This seed is little more than spam.
You don't recognize truth? Admit it John, you just happen to like CNN's bullshit.
CNN is more "liberal" than it used to be. All of the news channels have a lean in one direction or the other.
I get a kick out of Fox News fans who say that channel is fair and balanced. It is the most biased main stream news outlet in history.
That's true. It was always liberal, but with the election of Donald Trump it crossed the line from partisan news to becoming part of the resistance. The New York Times (another that debased itself) admitted that it had become part of the resistance. CNN was all too obvious about it.
I get a kick out of Fox News

That question is an admission that CNN is part of the resistance! Am I correct, John?
If you say Fox does it too, you are admitting that CNN is not a news station.
A little more than Spam, perhaps-- but definitely a little less than Beyond Meat!
(That is to say-- its definitely not The Real Thing!
Kindred spirits..
CNN is obvious, but in no way are they alone:
"A big scandal at @ABC News. They got caught using really gruesome FAKE footage of the Turks bombing in Syria. A real disgrace. Tomorrow they will ask softball questions to Sleepy Joe Biden’s son, Hunter, like why did Ukraine & China pay you millions when you knew nothing? Payoff?".... ....Donald Trump
You actually take Donald Trump's word for this, or anything?
You quoted Trump as if he is a reliable source for information?
ABC already admitted it John. They mixed up films from a firing range with what they claimed was from Syria! The banner across the film was "Slaughter in Syria"
You quoted Trump as if he is a reliable source for information?
He was right about the Russia hoax. How many lies did CNN tell us about that?
I wouldnt believe Trump if he said the sun came up this morning.
That is exactly why I criticize Trump supporters. Many of them act as if they dont know their ass from a hole in the ground.
Trump has lied to the American people thousands of times, yet many Trump supporters say "he never lies".
There is no reasoning with such people, there is only defeating them.
Like the people who always devolve every conversation into a tirade against Trump. This one happened to be the certificate of proof on what CNN is.
You see John, that is part of your and many other never Trumper's problem. For some reason you seem to put a lot of stock in what he says rather than what he does. I, for one, know he lies and they are just words. None of his lies has EVER affected me or mine personally in ANY way. We look past the bluster easily as it is meaningless in the scheme of things US. I will never understand the penchant for liberal/democrat angst over meaningless bullshit. Why cling to something you know probably isn't true.........well other than to deflect from any good that is happening in the country? His lies are nothing more that a shiny object for some to constantly fall back on. It is beyond belief. And you say his supporters are stupid? They know better and know nothing he says, except for "Where is that red button", it does no harm and has no affect on their everyday lives.
The seeded article is a nothing burger. The "quotes" from Jeff Zucker are nothingburgers. Of course a news station is going to focus on impeachment. It is the number one story in America today. It is supposed to be scandalous when the head of a news channel tells his reporters to focus on it? LOL.
I agree that CNN features more criticism of Trump than praise of him. That could just be because they are more in touch with reality than he or many of his fans are.
His behavior and actions merit much more criticism than praise. Period.
His behavior can be looked at objectively. American tradition and mores decree that pathological lying, incessant bullying, crooked business dealings and sexual assault are wrong. Let's not forget preposterous bragging and malignant narcissism (assholeness).
We can all objectively look at Trump's behavior and see there is seriously something the fuck wrong with him as a man and as a human being.
His policies , what you call "what he does" which you approve of wholeheartedly, are a subjective topic. Conservatives agree with most of his policies and executive orders, and liberals disagree with most of them. That is a policy dispute about which there could be two legitimate points of view to be hashed out.
His behavior as president is not debatable. He is a disgrace and a disgrace at his monumental level does not belong in office. End of story.
You are repeating yourself. If it's nothing it should be easy to disprove. Instead we have a condemnation of the President and comparisons to Fox News!
Of course a news station is going to focus on impeachment.
For 3 years?
It is the number one story in America today.
Bigger than the "imminent slaughter" of the Kurds and the fate of the Hong Kong demonstrators or the border crisis or the so called "coming recession?"
It is supposed to be scandalous when the head of a news channel tells his reporters to focus on it?
It is - just like when O’Keefe released a video that caught New York Times editor Nick Dudich on hidden camera talking openly about ways he manipulates news coverage and pushes his agenda.
I agree that CNN features more criticism of Trump than praise of him.
It NEVER praises him!
If Trump had shot someone in the middle of 5th avenue it wouldnt have affected you personally either, so I presume he would still be good to go as president of the United States afterwards, in your eyes?
John, look what you are doing to yourself? The discussion is about CNN!
LOL. I have done nothing to myself compared with what Trump supporters have done to themselves by following a pathological liar con man.
You funny.
The article about CNN is a nothingburger. The channel is critical of the worst president in American history. Let's all wring our hands with concern !
It's too late for an intervention.
The article about CNN is a nothingburger.
Evidently that's all you've got today.
I think you know better than that........or at least I hope you do.
As for your 8.1.8, all of your opinions, as they are nothing more than that, are based on your "standards" (which seem to be extremely TDS driven) for what is normal or acceptable. Not everyone has the same perspective as you and never will. You're just going to have to deal with it..........daily at LEAST until January of 2021. But you keep doing you and what makes your day. I for one do not subscribe to your ideology or outlook on life.
If you think Trump is admirable or fit for office, god help you. Thats all I can say.
Sure vic, it's everyone else that lies, not trump.. LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!
CNN lied for 3 years, so did the New York Times, Washington Post, MSNBC, NBC and ABC.
Laugh that off!
Lied about what?
Yes-- its all a plot by Aliens and Illuminati from The Deep State-- a sinister plot to control your minds!
Denial Aisle is a lonely place. CNN has lost a good deal of their audience since the long awaited "Mueller Report" came out. Even some democrats have come face to face with the facts.
Project bullshit and liars that's what Crooked o'keefe and Crooked rose are.
This is "alternative facts news"
Except that is Zucker saying that. Except that CNN has been incredibly dishonest for the last 3 years and they have all but lost their audience as a result!
Surprise, surprise, surprise.

Who organized their own GoFundMe fundraiser? Oh, yeah. This guy:
I don't have to read anything past 'project veritas' to know its a lying, deceptive group of far rightwingers who have no problem lying like Trump. Probably get their propaganda ideas from the Russians now. But they have never done anything to get the truth, its just like Trump, go manufacture what they want to smear someone with. Total bullshit.
