CNN told producers to lie and fearmonger about Covid-19 deaths for ratings

(Natural News)
Project Veritas has done it again, this time with an exposé outing fake news giant CNN for fearmongering about the Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19).

According to CNN technical director Charlie Chester, the fake news network’s head ordered staff to constantly display on the screen during broadcasts “death” numbers supposedly tied to the Chinese Virus – the goal being to scare viewers into accepting more government tyranny while boosting ratings.

Chester told an undercover Project Veritas reporter that “fear really drives numbers” and “is the thing that keeps you tuned in.” This is why CNN‘s entire business model relies on selling fear 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

“Covid? Gangbusters with ratings, right?” Chester stated. “Which is why we [CNN] constantly have the [Covid] death toll on the side, which I have a major problem with, with how we’re tallying how many people die every day.”

CNN not only blasts that death number to viewers during every broadcast, but the network also pads the numbers to make them seem as scary as possible. This is how CNN keeps people tuned in and scared.

According to Chester, higher-ups at the fake news network would often tell him to pull down the death count tally, only to have the head of the network come in and say that it had to be plastered back up on the screen.

“The special red phone rings and this producer picks it up,” Chester explained. “You hear [murmurs] and every so often they put it on speaker and it’s the head of the network being like, ‘There’s nothing that you’re doing right now that makes me want to stick.’”

“‘Put the [Covid death toll] numbers back up because that’s the most enticing thing that we had. So, put it back up,’” Chester added, citing a hypothetical response from CNN network head Jeff Zucker. Though Chester is not heard in the recordings specifically mentioning Zucker by name, we know that Zucker is the one who calls all the shots at CNN.

CNN also lied to viewers to get Joe Biden “elected” as “president”

In another undercover video that Project Veritas released just one day prior to this one, Chester also admitted that CNN worked overtime to ensure that Donald Trump “lost” the 2020 election.

Were it not for CNN’s constant barrage of fake news reporting, Chester stated, there is no way that Hunter’s dad (Joe Biden) ever would have “won” the election.

“Look at what we did,” Chester bragged. “We got Trump out. I am 100 percent going to say it. And I 100 percent believe it that if it wasn’t for CNN, I don’t know that Trump would have gotten voted out.”

Calling CNN’s reporting “propaganda,” Chester added that for most of the time between 2016-2020, CNN/s primary goal was to stop Trump from doing his job while doing everything within the network’s power to steal the 2020 election from him.

CNN routinely manufactured fake news stories, Chester admitted, that were designed to make Trump appear unhealthy and unstable, for example.

“We brought in, like, so many medical people to, like, all tell a story that, like, it was all speculation that he was, like, neurologically damaged – that he was losing it, he’s unfit to, you know, whatever,” Chester rambled.

“We were creating a story that we didn’t know anything about,” he further explained about how CNN’s entire business model centers around creating fake news for its gullible viewers.

    1. Eib – agreed, until all of those involved actually suffer consequences for their horrible actions, nothing will change. IOW – we know how mendacious they are but until they are held personally responsible they will not change how they operate.

  1. Communist News Network spreads fear and hate….nothing new about that fact. They issue fake news as their primary duty. Why anyone watches that bull roar and why advertisers spend money there is beyond me.

    1. I believe it’s the convenience. People don’t want to research for an alternative p.o.v. The big three are a push button away. Just like obeying their professorial masters in college. Do not challenge.

    2. CNN is on every cable network because the way Warner Media bundles to them. It’s the only way they can make any money for CNN. A couple years ago, the food network had higher ratings than CNN, which just goes to show you that more people would rather watch water boil.

  2. All the News being fake – I watch P B S & hope for the best – Who printed & distributed the Biden T-Shirts at the border (Real Question) No News On This

  3. At the presidential inauguration: the attendance was only a small handful of people, the area was surrounded by razor and barbed wire, 20,000 national guard troops on scene and in area. Is it possible I missed something or is it only my imagination that our current government is Fascism?

  4. biden and his followers should all be dropped off in a third world country if that’s how they want to live. Why does he and all the other liars
    want us to live as he chooses. We were all doing great under Trump administration.

  5. The whole world knows that the election was stolen yet nothing is being done about it. I’m afraid our Justice system is Broken. There is no justice or accountability anymore.

    1. William – I’ve said it many times but it bears repeating – we do not have a ‘justice’ system – that implies that people who commit crimes will be held accountable and that their victims will get some form of recompense for their loss/injury. What we DO have is a legal system in which the liars oops I mean lawyers seek to minimize that responsibility and could care less whether the victim is taken care of. That is particularly true if the criminal is rich and famous or is well connected.

    2. The ONLY justice and accountability will be when enough patriotic citizens collectively FINALLY grow a pair and enforce justice and accountability.

  6. Hindsight is always 20/20, but nothing will be done to CNN or to any other liberal media outlet. What amazes me is that the people in the USA are so dang stupid that they fall for all the sh** the liberal media puts out; too darn lazy to check and verify what these liberals say. There is no good going to come out of having the democrats controlling and ruining our country, but there will be some consolation when you see the dang idiots that voted for these morons suffer and suffer and suffer just like those of us who did not vote for them! That is always a blessing in everything.

  7. That is TREASON!

    Time for the military to uphold their oath, and start executing the treasonous pieces of shit in the media and democrats!
