Back in June, I pointed out that sites like MediaBiasFactCheck.com are nothing more than outlets seeking to present themselves as unbiased in an attempt to silence those of us who simply put out the truth and allow people to determine for themselves how they discern that.
In that piece, I pointed out that the self-proclaimed bias fact checkers listed CNN as merely “Left Biased.”
However, they fail to simply refer to them as “fake news,” something President Donald Trump has rightly called them.
The latest evidence that they are fabricating the news comes in the form of video evidence of two reporters standing side by side.

Take a look for yourself as CNN attempts to act as though they have two reporters at various locations when they are simply standing side by side.

This isn’t the first time CNN has tried to pull a fast one with this kind of reporting. Does anyone remember the infamous Nancy Grace/ Ashleigh Banfield interview that was supposed to be conducted by “satellite” but was clearly in the same parking lot?
Even John Stewart called it out!
If that isn’t enough, do you remember when CNN was caught staging a protest in London? Don’t you? Let me remind you.
If this is not enough for Americans and the world to completely abandon CNN as a news source, I don’t know what is. I’m not saying that sometimes they don’t put out real, true news. They do, but CNN has a long history of simply making up news and fabricating it, not just slanting it.
This is nothing new for those of us who have exposed their lies before, but it might be to these Johnny come lately websites pretending to be some sort of authority figure on “fake news” when all they actually report on is those sites listed in the looney professor’s lists that’s passing through Harvard.
Media outlet Newsbusters put together a great piece that exposes CNN’s decades of “fake news” propaganda.
Here are a few highlights from Geoffrey Dickens excellent piece at Newsbusters on the history of CNN’s fake news. Enjoy and share!
Arnett’s Air War
In the early days of the first Gulf War, CNN’s Peter Arnett, in his reports from Baghdad, went beyond what was required of a reporter under censorship, from merely transmitting enemy propaganda to commenting on how reasonable it seemed. When he reported that Iraq claimed Allied pilots had bombed a baby-milk factory, he added that the site “looked innocent enough, from what I could see.” Arnett told Newsweek: “I think the U.S. just miscalled it…there was no doubt in my mind that it was unlikely to be a supersecret facility” producing poisonous agents.
A January 24, 1991 Los Angeles Times article, that appeared a day after Arnett’s first report on the baby milk factory, relayed criticism of the Iraqi-approved story: “‘Apparently this facility, by what we’ve just learned, has military guards around it, a barbed-wire fence,’ Lt. Col. Mike Gallagher said. ‘It has a military garrison outside, and numerous sources have indicated that the facility is associated with biological warfare production.’ By afternoon White House Press Secretary Marlin Fitzwater was telling reporters that the factory ‘is, in fact, a production facility for biological weapons.’ ‘The Iraqis have hidden this facility behind a facade of baby milk production as a form of disinformation,’ Fitzwater said.”
Later on, in a January 31, 1991 live report, Arnett described damaged civilian areas he saw in a government tour. Although he admitted to anchor Reid Collins that he had not seen the missiles land, he stated: “There was no doubt in my mind that the cruise missiles that came in, the two had obviously landed in these residential areas.”
Tailwind: CNN Falsely Reports War Crimes by U.S. Forces
In a story so rife with false reporting CNN was forced to retract it, Arnett claimed U.S. forces had committed war crimes and used nerve gas in Laos during the Vietnam War in Operation Tailwind. The “Valley of Death” segment aired on the June 7, 1998 premiere of Newstand: CNN & Time was so atrocious, CNN’s own military affairs consultant Perry Smith resigned in protest.
At the time, Howard Kurtz reported in the June 17, 1998 Washington Post story that “Smith quit after failing to convince Tom Johnson, Chairman of the CNN News Group, that the network needed to retract the story” which was also published in Time magazine. “‘I can’t work for an organization that would do something like this and not fess up to it,’ Smith said yesterday.”
CNN’s Jim Sciutto Claims Trump Never Honored CIA Wall of Heroes
On January 23, 2017 CNN correspondent Jim Sciutto insisted Donald Trump didn’t “say anything” about the wall of sacrifice behind him during his speech to employees at the Central Intelligence Agency. That turned out to be false. Sciutto reported: “There was an opportunity here, which the president missed in front of that Memorial Wall at the CIA, was to say anything about the sacrifice of the 117 stars representing the people who died in the field for the Central Intelligence Agency.”
In fact, Trump strongly expressed his gratitude to the CIA: “I want to say there is nobody that feels stronger about the intelligence community and the CIA than Donald Trump, There’s nobody, nobody. The wall behind me is very, very special.”
