The highly anticipated release of James O’Keefe’s latest undercover sting has happened. The “CNN Leaks” contain 119 hours of raw audio that was recorded in 2009 by an anonymous source inside the Atlanta headquarters of the news network. O’Keefe said there’s so much to go through, and more than 100 hours of additional audio on the way, that his team at Project Veritas can’t get through it all. So, he launched a website to give the public a chance to find something.
But already in this debut release are some eye-opening comments by former and current employees, some of whom have climbed much higher up the ladder within CNN over the last eight years. One example is Richard Griffiths, who is now Vice President and Senior Editorial Director. Listen to how he defined journalism to CNN employees and see how it gives credence to the claim of media bias:
“If we are journalists, what is our role as a journalist? What is the fundamental role as a journalist, for us to do? “Tell a story.” Tell what’s going on. There’s a secondary corollary to that, right? Aid the afflicted and afflict the comfortable. To a degree, right? Is that not part of the traditional role of a journalist? It’s actually one of the things I can be most proud of as a journalist. You know we try to show the ugly side of humanity so we can do something about it. It’s hard, very hard.”
The female mole inside CNN, known as Miss X in the transcripts, can be heard arguing that the newsroom was still reporting outdated poll figures even though newer ones existed yet weren’t as flattering for the particular narrative. She was told that yes, it was dishonest but the order came from higher up.
CNN employees also talked down about Fox News and Christians — two segments of the population who have grown sick and tired of being overlooked by the mainstream media and said as much when they voted in 2016. This audio is just further proof to justify middle America’s feelings.
“Fox News, I think Fox News is unbearable. It’s horrible,” Nicky Robertson, an assignment desk editor at the time, can be heard saying.
Then there was then-news desk editor Joe Sterling who oozed liberal bias:
CNN caught… being CNN. I wonder if anyone anywhere will be surprised?
How is it that supposedly “gives credence to the claim of media bias,” unless the bias O’Keefe is whining about is what saner people refer to as journalistic integrity and principles?
cnn= corrupt news network is nothing but fake news…..very fake news…..
I wonder if….
A) Is there somewhere we can download these in bulk?
B) Is there a forum/center/source we can work to transcribe the tape sources for interesting tidbits and sharing to sift through the tapes?
@Greg: Their duty is to report truth. If they are “afflict[ing] the comfortable” THEY have to first determine who the “comfortable” are and what constitutes “comfortable”. To do this, they must use their prejudices and biases and pursue their own agenda. In this case, the “comfortable” are Trump supporters. They are anyone not liberal. This left wing media “afflicts” them with lies, omissions and exaggerations.
And CNN is leading the pack. I hope they are destroyed. That might serve notice on all the rest of the media to shed their extreme political bias and do their JOB.
