c.n.n. first line of investigative journalism involves an online me many are joining the president and bashing c.n.n. and the memes continue to roll and one of the more shocking me is c.n.n. holding the original me maker hostage saying brace yourselves more memes are coming c.n.n. blackmailed him wasn't kidding check out this one mimicking the video game moral combat telling trying to finish him basically implying to kill off the network as the characters in the game would finish off their opponents it reads we know criminal news network isn't only fake news but they're extremely stupid the gifts and names are going crazy i guess they spilled they're wrong but you get the point if you want to see something closer to our real. a lot of famous you have it right here as if the facial expression of the dentist say it all well the caption says hey c.n.n. oh a good one and last but not least claiming to make you laugh out loud it shows the president in a straight fight against c.n.n. as a car jumping up doing a round kick straight into the windshield while the original wrestling name with. the follo

c.n.n. found the reddit user behind the wrestling gif and at first it seemed like a mild attempt at damage control until this line c.n.n. is not publishing the person's name because he is a private citizen who has issued an extensive statement of apology showed his remorse by saying he has taken down all his offending posts because he said he is not going to repeat here this ugly behavior of social media again but this one c.n.n. reserves the right to publish his identity should any of that change and that itself led many to believe that the network was basically blackmailing or doc saying the man despite his apology for creating the video the author of the article why. on twitter to debunk this claim that's all a lie or in a separate tweet he also said it was misinterpreted nothing to see here move along but if so why has it left so many people outraged from different sides of political debate. the multi billion dollar t.v. network blackmailing a private citizen into not making funny videos about it is not journalism c.n.n. there is something self evidently creepy bullying and heavy handed about a large news org

c.n.n. they withheld whole sources when it comes to russia stories for example what's your opinion on line there. well you can say a lot about how c.n.n. is making stories up about russia and the funny thing is on the internet you can see an undercover operation and they quote the people from c.n.n. themself a percent or and the producer and they say old these stories about russia hex is just fake it's all fake it's all about ratings figures it's not about real journalism so it is saying that. you cannot see it only mainstream media in the west but it's there it's there for everybody to see and then they themselves have to say ok we did something we're just not right so they had to fire three journalists because of us not dried i mean ok that's still a plus point for them impiety that they they fired them but still it's just an old going. fake. propaganda operation it has nothing to do with journalism anymore so it's so totally over the top just to produce rating figures and that's all about it and when you go back to defects i ask everybody just look for themselves at the video just look at you

c.n.n. journalist who originally wrote about the main designer's identity tweeted this response to the blackmail claims is a bit vague but here it is he says quote the line was misinterpreted and that they simply meant c.n.n. made no agreement about handling the man's identity still the damage was done on the internet here with even more c.n.n. bashing me. our washington correspondent jackie vogel looks at how the traditional media is relentless criticism of donald trump's tweeting but photos to his benefit. donald trump hit back at criticisms that his tweets degrade the office of the president by posting an admission saying that his use of social media indeed isn't presidential but rather modern day presidential and while the verdict is out on whether that's a good thing or not it's undeniable the man understands the power of the internet trump inspires me i'm strong creeps me trump uses mediums and his twitter post take the recent c.n.n. wrestling video he shared which was originally posted on reddit a popular viral news and discussion website that modern day presidential post caused an uproar in the traditional media president of the united states tak

c.n.n. has shown as many critics have claimed the network is more interested in the bottom line and a political agenda rather than reporting on real news on this edition of the program we ask if cnn's evidence for the war against donald trump is really at the expense of real journalism. crosstalk in the present and future of c.n.n. i'm joined by my guest steve malzberg in new york he is the host of the steve malzberg show on newsmax t.v. also in new york we have the media personality lionel he is a legal analyst and news decoder at la. media dot com and in washington we cross to richard goodstein he is a democratic political strategist and former advisor to the president clinton and hillary clinton's presidential campaigns all right gentlemen crosstalk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciate it steve let me go to you first here. cnn's motto is. the most trusted name in news over the last few months last couple of weeks particularly the last few days when you hear that. mantra about what they call themselves how do you reflect upon that go ahead. well

c.n.n. . well i think we all know those journalists not never to take one line comments too seriously and really they shouldn't i think they saw an opportunity to get trump to revenge themselves as they like and they they tried to take it it but. it was a silly move on their part because you have no idea who montrose are or people pumping out content on the internet so it's best to try and rise above it can be difficult i know picky when you're being abused but they really should have known better yeah the videos create a apparently apologize and removed the post so what else does c.n.n. want from this person. well i mean i think now they'll they might have a lawsuit on nancy sutley being encouraged to file a lawsuit against them but i'm not you know i mean he's a obviously a young silly boy i don't want to sort of get into a situation where he becomes a martyr of this story i think the idiocy here is on the people at c.n.n. who thought to be a good move to try and attack trump through an online twitter troll and also the d.c. of the trump family both for using a gift which is silly and i don't

has no idea how to answer them she just saying her status lines and was really crazy is that so this is being pushed ubiquitously through c.n.n. and also now she has a book deal with simon and schuster and she was named as one of the top twenty five most influential people on the internet by time magazine and if you look at this is a parallel to what they did what the government did leading up to the first gulf war in the early ninety's with the with that girl and maria who is fifteen years old kuwaiti girl talking about how they're throwing the baby. now that has been proven absolutely that was a false testimony and it's known as something called atrocity propaganda and from everything that i've seen it looks like we're doing it again it makes me think like the level of collusion by intelligence assets in the government into the mainstream media is more widespread than i ever thought so we have a clip we have a clip that's on to leiria yeah yeah and i had to make it funny. just about every i one. that children react. and got in school it leaves a nice we can look at how we can change we can together we can help them and trus

line news has tended to decline rather precipitous lead so it's viewership is off that's maybe why they're manufacturing some of these stories i think it's particularly true of the fake news network c.n.n. but there are alternatives now stations of news alternative places to find news and many of them i think are actually being used by the american and other public so that's a trend line to watch these other outlets have less and less credibility by the hour in fairness to the local fake news outlets on the close questioning congressmen and women do say these are questions that are raised rather than there being any evidence of collusion but this really is no evidence to date of collusion although i think there are in those numbers of investigations let alone investigative journalist i think for committees on congress a special prosecutor so i want to found out recently that the special prosecutor has a budget of one hundred million dollars for his activities that made my hair stand on end as well ok but they did get the constant media attacks arguably did stop donald trump and vladimir putin cooperating in any cybersecurity strategy as a counter terror strategy will have to see what h
