ACNN staffer can be seen in a newly released undercover video calling out his own network for “propaganda” and boasting that the cable news giant successfully removed former President Donald Trump from office.
"Look at what we did, we got Trump out," Charles Chester, a network technical director at CNN, said to an undercover journalist from the political action group Project Veritas in a tape released Tuesday. "I am 100% going to say it. And I 100% believe it that if it wasn't for CNN, I don't know that Trump would have got voted out."
Chester spoke to the undercover reporter in several clips in which he bragged that he was “one step down” from a director and admitted that the network pushed a story it “didn’t know anything about” relating to Trump’s physical health in order to damage him.
"Trump was, I don't know, like, shaking his hand or whatever ... 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 said. "We were creating a story that we didn't know anything about."
Chester added that the network did what it could to paint President Joe Biden as young and healthy to combat criticisms of his old age and possibly declining mental facilities.
“We would always show shots of him jogging ... him in his aviator shades, and, like, you paint him as a young geriatric," Chester said.
Chester’s online profile on LinkedIn, which has been taken down, said his work "played an integral part" in the 2020 presidential election.
Chester also admitted that CNN was engaged in propaganda in the way it has been criticizing firebrand Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz, who faces allegations of sexual impropriety with a 17-year-old, allegations he has vehemently denied.
“If the agenda, say, is to get Matt Gaetz right now, he’s, like, this Republican,” Chester said in response to a question from the undercover journalist on how he defines propaganda. “He’s a problem for the Democratic Party ... So we’re going to keep running these stories to keep hurting him. That’s propaganda because it’s helping CNN in some way.”
Gaetz responded to the news on Twitter simply saying, “OMG!”
Now that Trump has been removed from office, Chester says the network will move on to pushing climate change and asked if that meant the network would try to scare viewers with gloomy climate warnings, Chester said, “Yeah. Fear sells.”
CNN did not immediately respond to a request for comment from the Washington Examiner regarding the controversy or Chester’s current status with the network.
MU2's Take: While this is not news to those of us who actually see CNN for the crappy leftist tool that it is, this provides irrefutable proof to their left-leaning lemmings, who can't get enough bad news for conservatives, that they are being brainwashed by their masters. And still they will rationalize the lies and acts of treason as forgivable means to an end. I am so glad that I am almost retired. I will be moving my assets to a less tax-hungry-on-the-middle-class place and the U.S. will not get a dime more of my hard earned cash than they already have. Or did you think the trillions in debt that the left is accruing would somehow magically disappear? Trump was our only hope that an out of control left would have to behave. Now that they know they do not have to play by the rules they're writing new ones. And yes, I know this reads a bit like a Chicken Little speech, but though the sky isn't actually falling, it's getting awfully dark.
