"SNIP..............


CNN has responded to an undercover video shot by the organization run by right-wing provocateur James O’Keefe — and it says it has nothing to be ashamed of.

The video, which was released by Project Veritas on Tuesday, shows CNN Producer John Bonifield seemingly agreeing with someone that much of CNN’s coverage of the Trump-Russia scandal is “bullsh*t.” Bonifield also said that President Donald Trump was “probably right” that the scandal was a “witch hunt.”

“CNN stands by our medical producer John Bonifield,” CNN said in response to the video. “Diversity of personal opinion is what makes CNN strong, we welcome it and embrace it.”

The network also noted that Bonifield is CNN’s medical producer, and he does not work in political journalism and has no input on the network’s Russia coverage.

1. Medical producer?! What a load of crap! O'Keefe should be in a jail cell somewhere.

Ratfucker.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

12. Correction: rat faced ratfucker

[rzemanfl]

2. They should have their "medical producer" do a piece on Drumpf's unhealthy lifestyle.

If he won't, they should fire his "diversity of opinion" ass.

[AJT]

3. He's probably a trumpster.

[BannonsLiver]

5. Which disproves O'Keefe's likely hypothesis that there are no RWers at CNN

[MiddleClass]

10. Exactly, maybe they can find a political producer and ask him about hysterectomy

Better yet, go to a surgeon's office and ask the custodian about elective surgery.

Ridiculous

[rzemanfl]

14. Drumpf put a brain surgeon in charge of housing and a woman who never attended a

public school in charge of education. There are "presidents" (sic)

[MiddleClass]

17. In America, you are assumed innocent. All the way up until proven damn guilty

Republicans take an assumption then state it as fact.

Isn't it funny how his disregard of presumed innocence in all his videos,

is the basis of this video.

[JI7]

4. cnn wants to have it both ways

[kentuck]

6. He doesn't know anymore than anybody else...

...except maybe Robert Mueller and the FBI?

[ProudLib72]

7. And I guess those three people who just left CNN

were part of this "diversity" you speak of?

No, screw you CNN or should I say Faux Nooze Lite.

[applegrove]

8. Those 3 at CNN put out a story with only one source.

[kentuck]

9. Dan Rather'd ...

Had the truth but not enough evidence.

[ProudLib72]

13. Which is one more source than anything the tRumpers have

to back their crap. Look, I get it, they can't run it by intelligence or a Senate committee to make sure it's correct. But the actual reason for retraction was Scaramucci threatening a lawsuit. Because of that two Pulitzer prize winning journalists quit. Personally, I give more credit to Pulitzer prize winning journalists than Scaramucci.

[MiddleClass]

18. CNN did not want to go against PayPal founder and early Facebook investor Peter Thiel

The lawyer in gawker, lawsuit is now on the campaign staff

[.99center]

11. This medical producer must get his talking points from CNN's Jeffery Lord.

OMG, a CNN employee criticized it's networks Russian coverage!

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

15. So that proves they're not all against him. Thanks "Mutant Kid from the Road Trip movie look

alike" guy.

[Oneironaut]

16. Breaking news! All of the news media is about ratings!

Even their beloved Fox News...

They made crap up about Obama and Hillary too. Remember their parroting of Hillary's supposed fainting-spells? Did they not just interview Alex Jones of all people? Anything said on CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, etc. should always be taken with a grain of salt.

Our media is a crappy reality TV show, and all of it is equally garbage. They treat their viewers like mushrooms, if you know what I mean.

[rockfordfile]

19. The producer should be fired.

[Generic Brad]

20. "I'm a doctor, not a political correspondent!"

His personal views have nothing to do with his job. Not even a story.
