Watching the smug hall monitors at CNN melt down over the last 24 hours in response to Project Veritas founder James O’Keefe’s announcement about how he was preparing to release two months of CNN conference calls has been a thing of beauty.
Doubly comical were the panicked legal threats that came from CNN’s PR department later in the day in response to O’Keefe’s tweet, as well as CNN-PR’s later flub in a tweet they posted to Fox News anchor Tucker Carlson a few hours later.
As to the network’s pathetic threat to take legal action and their note about how they would be “referring” the matter to law enforcement, Donald Trump Jr. went off, first pointing out that what O’Keefe did “looked like journalism” to him, which CNN would not understand:
Looks like journalism to me, but CNN wouldn’t know anything about that. https://t.co/THV2PpHmiN

… and then later dunked all over them by flashing back to how they had no issues running at length with the secret Melania tapes that were obtained by a supposed “friend” of the First Lady’s without her permission:
It’s amazing that CNN had no problem aggressively running with secretly recorded audio tapes of the First Lady non-stop for weeks, but has a serious problem when someone does the exact same thing to them!
If it wasn’t for double standards, they would have no standards at all. https://t.co/THV2PpHmiN

In fact, CNN is still running with parts of those secret Melania tapes in their “reporting”, which we saw a couple of days ago when the New Day co-hosts mocked Melania Trump’s secretly recorded comments about media reporting on her Christmas decorations in years past during a segment on the unveiling of this year’s decorations.
CNN is getting roasted and that is good CNN has been faking the news about TRUMP for the last four years and they deserve to lose viewers at CNN sinks faster then a rowboat full of holes
I love it when organizations like the DNC and CNN get their hypocrisy and lies exposed, they attack the messenger instead of addressing their own dishonesty. The only saving grace for CNN is that no one ever expected to find a shred of integrity in them, before the cameras or behind the scenes.
