It’s Official - CNN’s C-BS Moment

Just to continue a new thread from the previous. The fact that CNN 5000 videos they used about 30, most of which were created either by outright campaign workers for Hillary, or supporters of other canditates.

As noted previously Michelle Malkin has the round up of who was caught.

CNN is denying any shady business, but as Joe Scarboro said on his MSNBC show, “that’s crap“, and I agree. There is no way that CNN didn’t know. Unless they had interns going over the videos they’re is no way they didn’t know what it took five seconds for others to figure out.

Like I said at Heading Right last night while live blogging, early on in the debate the questions just felt TOO scripted, but as the debate wore on I felt the questions were generally good.

But they were too good because they were crafted to highlight Democrat talking points. Now the question is what did Hillary know about this, and specifically what did the DNC know? Was there any prior coordination between either and the producers at CNN to “frame” the questions in a certain light?

I think at this point both the FEC and FCC should look into the matter as this activity would definitely violate Federal Election law and might even have violated “disclosure” under FCC regs.

We’ll see.

UPDATE: Cooper “We’re innocent!”

(cupping my hands in a fake sneeze) Bullllssssshhhiiiittttt.

UPDATE II: H/t to Hot Air for this video of past CNN planting.
