CNN panelist and former comedian Michael Ian Black said After lying about former President Donald Trump on CNN, Black apologized. He later deleted the apology.
You may remember the corporate media disinformation scandal of Abdul, or maybe you don't, given the mountain of media disinformation we're bombarded with these days.
In any case, during the presidential debate, Trump recounted the threats he had made to Taliban leader Abdul during his time as president.
I got involved. Abdul was a Taliban leader. He's still a Taliban leader. I told Abdul, “Don't do that again. If you do it again, you'll get in trouble.” And he said, “Why are you sending me pictures of my house?” I said, “Abdul, think for yourself.” And for 18 months, nobody was killed.
This prompted the media to launch numerous reports accusing Trump of being a racist. The hoax was that Trump couldn't remember the name of the Taliban leader, so he inserted the common Arab name “Abdul” to sound like a KKK member, just like President Joe Biden calls every black man he meets George Jefferson.
ExcludeAccording to ABC News, “A spokesman for the militant group said Trump spoke by phone with the group's chief negotiator, Abdul Ghani Baradar, also known as Mullah Baradar, and that the call lasted 35 minutes.”
So, if you spend a few minutes searching on the Google machine, you will find that the man's name is indeed Abdul, but our media doesn't use Google because it feels too close to journalism.
So on Saturday, CNNLOL launched a left-wing comedy show. I have something to tell you.I'm sure it will skyrocket ratings and change pop culture forever, because if there's one thing America is missing, it's left-wing comedy shows.
To set the right tone for what was to come. I have something to tell you. Black helped spread Abdul's disinformation.
“He's really bad at it.” said “I picked the most obvious name for a Taliban leader,” Black said. Abdul.”
CNN was very proud of Black spreading this lie, and the moment Highlight It is posted on the company's website.
Later that week, via Xwitter and the ABC article linked above, someone told Black that he was wrong. To everyone's surprise, Black admitted he was wrong and apologized. Then, to no one's surprise, he deleted the admission and apology.
CNN can't force its staff to retract false reports. That's just not journalism.
