    The kid was a minor, and instead of blacking out his face the liberal media made sure the world knew who he was and where they could find him, and that was before they called him a racist which incites violence in any self respecting liberal. I'd even say that once the liberal media labels someone as a racist, that's the command to go out and attack him.

    You just defined what it means to be a modern day leftist inside the United States of today. Thanks!

    Where have you seen that CNN sat on evidence and directly lied? I will support the suit (although still not the ludicrous amount) if they did.

    I am against both illegal immigration and religious rule of law. Gender dysphoria is a medical condition and I’m not sure what it has to do with liberals or this discussion.

    CNN called the kid a racist. If you want I could probably find a lot of false things CNN said about this kid.

    That's letting them off the hook but claiming ignorance. That story oozed of fakeness but without having the details, CNN ran with. A clean cut white boy with a MAGA hat being defined as a racist was just too easy for CNN. They didn't care what the facts were.

    I have asked for any evidence that they knew the story was fake numerous times that everyone keeps ignoring. In this instance specifically from CNN.

    They had nothing telling them their headline was true. That's what matters.

    Off the top of my head CNN claimed it was the Covington boys who were racists and said it was the boys who approached and surrounded the Indian. They tried to sell as factual a story they didn't have the details for. So in the absence of those details, CNN filled in the blanks with their agenda which is anti white, anti conservative, anti Christian and anti MAGA. Every lie they used to 'fill in the blanks' was intentional.

    So no, no source.

    Predictable, let me know when you find one since there are so many. Thanks in advance!

    They had video and reports from the people taking the video.

    A source lying or withholding evidence is not CNN lying or withholding evidence.

    Try again

    Source? We had people on this board claiming what I just pointed out as lies as being true. Where do you think they got those ideas from?

    The story CNN peddled was obviously not true. So CNN is either incompetent, negligent or pushing an agenda.

    Are you denying the left didn't push this story as the kid being racist and associating it with Trump supporters?

    Oh, they have a list. WaPo was first. CNN is number 2.
    Sandmann was viciously attacked by left-leaning news outlets over a deceptively edited video clip from the January March for Life rally at the Lincoln Memorial, in which the MAGA-hat-wearing teenager appeared to be mocking a Native American man beating a drum. Around a day later, a longer version of the video revealed that Sandmann did absolutely nothing wrong - after the media had played judge, jury and executioner of Sandmann's reputation.

    So CNN doesn't use or need reliable sources to run with a story?

    It’s gonna get really good when Lin Wood gets WAPO and CNN to settle and he starts going against the Hollywood types who don’t have the ‘deep pockets’ that those two corporations have. Those initial ‘retainer fee’ conferences with their prospective attorneys will not be a pleasant experience...........’Mr. Woodchipper’ better bring some KY Jelly with him.........

    We may see a sudden departure of Jeff Zucker but CNN won't change even if they end up settling for $50-75 million.

    And their commentators then went on to falsely label the young student a white racist and urge he suffer for it.

    Why do you assign tiki torches that you are using as a symbol for white racist to the young student?
