O'Keefe Whistleblower/Hidden Camera Sting on CNN Part 2
More of CNN's bias, this time, favoring Warren over Biden, just as they favored La Hillary over Bernie last time.
Full video here. Most of it is about the network's bias towards Warren, and Jeff Zucker's sleazy carnival barker approach to micromanaging each day's narrative.CNN Senior Justice Correspondent Evan Perez [and best pal of Fusion GPS founder Glenn Simson ] Says, 'Joe Biden Has a Problem' Because of his Son's Foreign Business Dealings; "It Looks Bad. It Smells Bad." CNN President Jeff Zucker Pushes Kamala Harris' Demand to Take Down Trump’s Twitter Account;“"I Think it’s a Good Segment...Not Going to Happen, But it’s a Good Talking -- it's a Good Segment." Zucker on Harris: "She is Also Retooling Her Struggling Campaign." CNN Media Coordinator Christian Sierra Says Network is Less Fair to Andrew Yang and Amy Klobuchar, "They’re Pro-Top Contenders." Sierra: "I Think They Like Warren a Lot" "...They Don't Like Tulsi Gabbard"Highlights below. Yesterday's Project Veritas video noted that even CNN employees are tired of Jeff Zucker's demands that the network be All Anti-Trump Propaganda All the Time.
CNN Media Coordinator Nick Neville Says "People Would Change the Channel" if Network Broadcasted a Biden Rally. CNN VP and Political Director David Chalian Believes That Andrew Yang Will Not Become the Democratic Nominee for President. CNN Insider Cary Poarch:"“I Actually Came to CNN a Registered Democrat. I Campaigned and Voted for Bernie in the Primaries of the 16’ election;" "...All That I Thought I Knew and Hoped to be at CNN Was False." Poarch: "It's an Unwritten Rule That if You Are Center, Center Right, or Heaven Forbid, Full Right Republican Trump Supporter, Then You Are Not Welcome at CNN"
"I don't care about the MSNBC event, OK? I don't care about them. Let's just stay very focused on impeachment," a person identified as Zucker says in the recording. "We shouldn't just pretend, oh, this is going one way. And so all of these moves are toward impeachment." ... The video also showed someone identified as a CNN media coordinator Nick Neville being secretly recorded. "Jeff Zucker, basically the president of CNN, has a personal vendetta against Trump… i'’s not gonna be positive for Trump. [Zucker] hates him. He's going to be negative," the person identified as Neville said in the highly edited video. The same person also said that many CNN employees want to err on the side of "journalistic integrity" but "big boss" Zucker "f----ing tell you what to do." "You have to like… to a certain extent, you have to follow his verdict," the man said. "He's like had an on-going feud with Trump… he's had an on-going feud with Trump since 'The Apprentice.'" Another alleged CNN employee, identified as media coordinator Christian Sierra, said that "everyone at the network" complains about the anti-Trump tone.Carnival barkers gonna carnival bark, shills gonna shill, and propagandists gonna propagandize.
"They hate covering Trump all day," he said.

The constant fixation on Trump makes CNN unwatchable.
I could tolerate an obvious leftwing bias if they at least covered some actual news.
But they will cover Trump eating breakfast before they will cover any real news.

This. I went through 4 or 5 stories this morning before I could get straight dope about Bolton without any agit prop about confirmed pressuring of Ukraine.
It took me several variations on searches to dig up Trump's actual quotes on Judge Curiel for some dimwit who bought the whole Trump is a racist because he said Curiel is hispanic gambit.

I feel like this isn't his fault. It's only because nothing happens after he releases them that we stop caring as much.
Unless you just think he's going for the low hanging fruit that we all knew but just didn't have proof for... in which case I'm not sure how this is really different than the ACORN stuff where we knew or suspected that's what was going on anyway. Guess it was just more novel back then?

Well, at minimum they accomplish the gold standard of today's MSM: afflicting the comfortable.
Rattling Zucker and CNN - again - is always great.
Think of all the battlespace prep social media companies and the MSM (think: their resident youtube meme-maker doxer) to silence non-progressives in the run up to the 2020 election. Now consider how O'Keefe recruiting insiders to capture their internal discussions, memos, etc.. This is the kind of stuff that needs to be done, just as it seems like Judicial Watch is doing most of the heavy lifting in holding the government accountable. This behavior needs to be documented, brought into the spotlight.

The Seattle Times sports section is still ok. The news and general reporting is a leftist joke for the most part. And when they print an article attacking Trump or his supporters, or issues important to them, they often remove the comments section.
This is so people can't point out their lies and falsehoods.

The problem with doing reporting that nobody else will do, is that nobody else will cover the stories you break - it's baked into the cake that it will never have a real impact.
As long as the media is monolithic and takes dictation from a Party central committee, it can't do much. And if there's diversity of opinion in the media then it isn't needed.
I appreciate what he does, but it's a fool's errand.
A section of the right-wing public (who knows this is going on) watches his videos, and nobody else is even aware he exists. Can't make a dent that way.

In the first Veritas tape, three different CNN employees made the point that their obsessive coverage had promoted Trump. "We created tis monster." That was in fact Trump's strategy. They see it but to all appearances Zucker either doesn't see or doesn't care. So yeah, they want to cut off Trump's oxygen.
There were a couple of mentions of a desire to cover other news. So I gather they're also bored, and have some awareness of how stupid and unprofessional they look only covering one story all the time.

You're right in it might have made a bigger impact if CNN worked hard to oust somebody like Warren in favor of Biden, and you showed all of that once the nominee was in place. Could be Bernie going out changed the timeline or overall strategy at CNN. Or the wihstleblower knew his days were numbered and people were on to him.

First, now we have Trump who is mentioning it.
Second, it's not just about the story. In the case of the Google whistleblower, he turned over all of the Google documents to the DoJ and has met with them. We have a DoJ and people in Congress like Devin Nunes who are absolutely interested in taking action on what they've been doing. Will they succeed? Who knows, but they sure a hell got a major boost with the info from just one Google guy.
Add to it that O'Keefe is hearing from more insiders wanting to be his next whistleblower every time he does one of this events. This is his 4th one, right? He had the Instagram guy, then the 2 Google guys, now this CNN guy. He says he has more.

wild patents on futuristic technologies. I'm just going to say it: they
have a UFO and are reverse engineering shit, then filing for patents
under a fake name. The latest patent is for a fusion reactor less than
ten feet in diameter that produces 25 times the energy of America's
largest fission reactor.
I attended the Presidential Meritorious Senior Professional Service Award, Navy section at the Pentagon in June. They described the work of each awardee. Since I'm not an engineer some of it sounded tough, but my engineer son was flipping out on some of them. And the guys who got up to accept a couple of the ones he was gaping about crawled out of the NRL, looked and smelled exactly like you'd make up if you were casting the movie.

The problem with Veritas is that people expect these videos to show smoking guns of behavior that would either cause criminal liability, or have people be fired / careers ruined.
-------
They caught Robert Creamer admitting to orchestrating violence at Trump rallies. They caught his cutout Foval describing how they organize massive vote fraud.
Those are smoking guns.
But that shows another problem with this kind of investigative reporting.
Aside from the fact that nobody knows about these stories, the perps walk free, because catching people at crimes is ineffective when law enforcement and the courts have a primary goal of protecting Democrats and the Deep State.
They could catch the Matthew Continetti on tape saying "yeah, me and daddy-in-law worked with Fusion GPS to plant the dossier story in the media, and then fence it through McCain to the intel agencies" and every single person involved would be exactly as they were the day before.

What I don't get is why any sports are so lucrative. Why do people pay so much to watch guys throw a ball around? I really like baseball but I can't figure out how they can make so much money with a team that they can pay their players a league MINIMUM of over half a million dollars a year.
Its just a damned game, its not worth that much. But people line up to pay over $50 bucks for a seat at a ballgame, pay to subscribe to a special channel, pay to buy merchandise.

Sports are well situated at the confluence of tribalism, escapism, wonder of human physical feats, and gambling.
Many people find one of the above to be amusing at least, and it's not uncommon to have people with multiple of those itches that need to be scratched.

If you're a well off adult in a major city, what do you do for entertainment these days? People don't entertain like they did back 2 or 3 generations ago. With a few very rare exceptions, there's no nightclubs left for normal adults, unlike the golden age of the 30's and 40's. Movies all suck, and even if you find a decent one you're going to be in a freezing room with sticky floors and punks screaming. Plays? Unless you live in NYC, that's out, and even then it'll mostly be crap. Sports is the best live entertainment left. And it's also one of the only things left today where the ending isn't totally predictable from the moment it starts.

to be fair, we knew they're biased. We knew it was a top down affair. Now we have proof that Zucker directs the news.
Again, this is projection. The left imagines Fox News is top down driven news but in the end, it's CNN. Also, for some reason Fox and ONN both react to CNN. at least from time to time, tucker will talk about something not CNN related on topics that interest him. Imagine if conservative media took initiative on what they reported.

The people who pay so much for it do it because that's their hobby. Same reason why people spend thousands of dollars on model trains or classic cars or Magic: The Gathering Cards, or expensive wine, or whatever. I think the kind of person who spends thousands of dollars a year on sports paraphernalia for their favorite team is likely the kind of person who'd end up spending that same ridiculous sum on some other hobby if their sport suddenly disappeared overnight.

I don't know if they still do it, but back then you got a recycled book from previous years and then a book cover you folded to cover it with. It had a design on one side, but most people turned the blank other side up for a canvas to draw stylized S's and other stuff on.

I thought about this this morning when I was watching some of the coverage.
Almost every night either Tucker or Hannity or Ingraham show back to back snippets of the puppets and parrots as they all repeat the exact same words and phrasing - like good little soldiers.
What I realized is they each are ALSO competing for Zucker's approval, so when we see them try to outdo each other with the Nazi word or Racist or whatever the word du jour, they are really trampling over each other for Zucker's attention and approval. This isn't just about their own hatred towards Trump, but saving their jobs and making their master happy.

I had to clean up my grandmothers house. She hid money, jewelry and guns in the oddest of places. The thing with old ladies and jewelry is pay close attention to costume jewelry. You will find high end pieces mixed in with the 5 and dime stuff. When looking for the good jewelry in a woman's house is to run you hands under the underwear drawer. This is where they hide the good stuff.

One of the scariest things I've ever seen was in a flood around the Red River, up and down from Texarkana. Fields up and down that river were filled with fire ants, but they didn't drown! No, what they would do is that they would all come out of their hive and pack themselves into a giant ball that floated on top of the water, millions of ants in each ball. The bottom ants would drown eventually, but their bodies would remain and help the hive float. It's like the hive was Immortal.
and what was even worse is that these balls would float until they touched something, and then they would explode and it would instantly be covered with a million fire ants. We were out paddling through some of these fields in a canoe, and you damn sure didn't want to let one of them get anywhere close to your boat.

No. I had an apartment over an Antique shoppe in NJ and got to know the owner. I went on a couple of his day before Estate Sales invites and watched him work. One of his basic techniques was to take a pillow case, put it on the floor and make a pile of 5 and dime costume jewelry. Then he would work the dressers and throw his finds in the costume pile and then bid it for $20 - $40 for the pile. The sellers (agents) always went for it. They had a house to clean out to sell the house so their meal ticket was in the sale of the house. I bought my wife (then girlfriend) a magnificent pearl necklace and earrings from him at a very good price. The wife and necklace still look marvelous.
