CNN bruger straks lejligheden til at sprede Fake News med brevbomberne

A CNN reporter made a false attack on Fox News host Martha MacCallum Wednesday evening, using a deceptively edited video clip from a far-left hit group to inaccurately portray an exchange she had with a retired FBI agent.

MacCallum brought on retired FBI profiler and forensic linguist Jim Fitzgerald, who helped catch the Unabomber, to analyze the multiple devices that were sent to Democratic political figures earlier in the day.

CNN’s Oliver Darcy tweeted a video clip from Media Matters that cut out most of what Fitzgerald said.

Along with the deceptively edited video clip, Darcy wrote: “It’s the responsibility of @marthamaccallum to make sure that after her guest spreads an unsubstantiated conspiracy theory on her air, she immediately corrects it for viewers and provides them the facts. Instead she simply replies, ‘Fascinating.'”
