A whistleblower inside CNN has come forward and revealed that he’d been secretly capturing footage of the inner workings of the media giant for months – and what he shared was shocking.
Working with conservative activist James O’Keefe and his Project Veritas organization, the insider was able to capture records of CNN President Jeff Zucker as well as footage of media marketers and network directors talking about their plans…
Including how much they hated President Donald Trump and wanted to push for impeachment.
“I don’t care about the MSNBC event, okay? I don’t care about them. Let’s stay very focused on impeachment,” CNN President Jeff Zucker is heard saying on a strategy phone call, leaked Monday by a whistleblower.
O’Keefe’s video then identifies the whistleblower and how he was able to obtain the bombshell footage.
“My name is Carey Porch, I’m a satellite upload technician at the CNN Washington, D.C. bureau,” the footage shows, identifying Porch as one of the whistleblowers.
The video then shows a CNN Media Coordinator Nick Neville, as identified by Project Veritas, talking about the “personal vendetta” against Trump that dictates the channel’s coverage.
“Jeff Zucker, basically, the president of CNN, has a personal vendetta against Trump!” Neville says in the leaked footage. He goes on to say that coverage of Trump by the network will always be negative.
“It’s not gonna be positive for Trump,” Neville says. “[Zucker] hates him. He’s going to be negative” in CNN’s coverage.
“I decided to wear a hidden camera,” Porch tells the interviewer. The video then cuts to a CNN Floor Director, Hiram Gonzalez, admitting that the mainstream media “created the monster” that is Trump and his supporters.
“Between you and I, we created this monster. And now we’re eating him full plate every single day. The media created the Trump monster,” Gonzalez says.
“I decided to secretly record the 9:00 am rundown call, which is basically run by Jeff Zucker, the president of CNN,” Porch says.
The video cuts to footage of Zucker on that same morning call talking about how CNN was encouraging impeachment.
“We’re moving toward impeachment. I mean, I don’t like, you know… we shouldn’t pretend, oh, this is going one way. And so all these moves are moves toward impeachment.”
“When I came to work at CNN, it was my dream job,” Porch says about his decision to leak the footage. “That dream turned into a nightmare.”
“So, I wanna say on the Lindsay Graham front,” Zucker is shown saying in the morning rundown. “I know there’s a lot of people at CNN that are friendly with Lindsey Graham. It’s time to know that off, and time to call him out.”
“I think what’s going on is that America now is really fundamentally the result of years of fake news and conspiracy nonsense from Fox News,” Zucker said.
“The fake conspiracy nonsense that Fox has spread for years is deeply embedded in American society, and frankly that is beyond destructive for America,” the CNN boss says. “And I don’t think we should be scared to say so.”
Project Veritas says there are more damning videos coming; the Monday leak was only the beginning.
