Earlier this week, Cameron Kasky, a CNN contributor, expressed his desire for more transparency regarding President Trump’s involvement in human trafficking but acknowledged that one can’t win them all.
But wait, there’s more…
CNN anchor John Berman responded, complimenting the president’s transparency about the Nobel Peace Prize and his goals. What do you think about that?
Yes, Berman, who is often accused of bias, didn’t challenge Kasky’s statements.
It’s clear that Berman wasn’t keen to point out that Kasky’s claims lacked evidence.
Fortunately, CNN’s Scott Jennings faced no personal defamation, although Berman seemed to hope for it to stick.
Jennings asked, “Are we really going to suggest that the president is involved in a global sex trafficking ring?”
Berman, responding with exaggeration, stated, “I’m going to fact-check this.” He then prompted Kasky to reiterate the damaging statement. When Kasky obliged, Berman quickly noted, “Let’s circle back to that. Donald Trump has not faced any charges related to Jeffrey Epstein.”
Ah, yes… This is CNN.
Following that exchange, Kasky attempted to withdraw his accusation, likely sensing potential legal repercussions, even after repeating the statement a second time.
But.
Kasky apparently wants us to accept that even if he repeats a falsehood on air, he can claim it was a mistake and that he didn’t mean it.
This situation is beyond belief and further highlights how CNN seems to tolerate individuals who criticize Trump, even when they spread false claims.
CNN’s vetting process for such critics appears to be deeply flawed, allowing individuals to express damaging statements without accountability.
Moreover, CNN has seemingly become so mired in corruption and misinformation that its anchors are left to deal with the embarrassment of “fact-checking” intentionally misleading statements directed at the President.
CNN poses a challenge for all reasonable people.
