Very Fake News CNN is in spin mode as they scramble to do some damage control after Project Veritas dropped undercover bombshell video of a CNN producer saying the Russia story is ‘bullsh*t’ and they continue to push the false narrative for ratings.
Very fake news’ Brian Stelter of ‘Reliable Sources’ tweeted CNN’s PR statement noting that the staffer in the undercover video isn’t involved in Russia or Trump coverage.
Interesting spin by CNN as they only talk about the producer, Bonifield and ignore that he brought up the CEO of CNN, Jeff Zucker demanding that his news channel get back to the ratings winner that Russia is for CNN.
Bonifield laughed off the notion that the media has an ethical responsibility and said ‘it’s a business’ and ‘they gotta what they gotta do to make money’.

Stelter also tweeted, “CNN stands by our medical producer John Bonifield. Diversity of personal opinion is what makes CNN strong, we welcome & embrace it.”
