CNN ‘Fact Checks’ President Trump During Middle Of RNC Speech
CNN cut off President Donald Trump for a supposed âfact checkâ during his speech at the RNC, comparing him to Pontius Pilate.
âWrong, Misleading, Or Outright Liesâ
When President Trump spoke at the RNC on Monday, his speech was broadcast on most networks, including CNN. However, they decided that the best thing to do would be to âinterruptâ the President and âfact checkâ him whenever he said something contrary to mainstream opinion â in this case, he discussed the possibility of fraud relating to mail-in voting â a serious concern.
âAfter vowing to have a positive convention, the president goes negative in its first moments,â host Anderson Cooper said. âHe started off falsely attacking mail-in voting. Heâs continuing to attack mail-in voting as his postmaster general testifies that the attacks are âunhelpful.â Thatâs his own postmaster general.â
âHe falsely accused Democrats of wanting to shut down the country to hurt the economy and somehow help them at the ballot box. Unclear how angering the entire country by shutting down would help them at the ballot box,â Cooper continued, claiming that President Trump was rolling out âall the most recent greatest hits and false statements.â
John King, CNNâs Chief National Correspondent, said that a lot of what President Trump said was âwrong, misleading, or outright lies,â and compared him to Pontius Pilate.
CNNâs Stelter Demands Fact Checks Of President
CNNâs Brian Stelter had already floated the possibility of interrupting President Trump to âfact checkâ him on Sunday.
âThe television networks are going to have interesting choices to make⊠about whether there is this stream of disinformation happening live,â Stelter argued.

He even went on to claim that âthere is more extreme behaviour going on the right than on the left,â acting as if Fox News was some extremely biased network, âgoing on there on the right in ways that other networks are not, in the middle or on the left.â
âSHOULD TV NETWORKS AIR RNC IN FULL?â @BrianStelter advanced rationale for nets not to: âTelevision nets are going to have interesting choices to makeâŠabout whether to cut away if thereâs this stream of disinformation happening live.â Promises CNN will cut in w/ âfact checks. pic.twitter.com/7GBgDSdiaI

The MSM Is Full Of Partisan Hacks, Not Honest Journalists!
This line of reasoning from Stelter would make sense, if the mainstream media werenât constantly running disinformation campaigns for the Democrats! Just recently, all the supposed âfact checkersâ claimed that it was âmostly falseâ that the Democrats got rid of âunder Godâ from the Pledge of Allegiance at the DNC, despite this actually happening in two separate meetings.
The âfact checkersâ do not check facts. They are not here to tell you the truth. They are there to gaslight you into thinking whatever they say is true, and whatever conservatives say is false. âFact-checkingâ is an exercise in censorship and mind control, and itâs as simple as that.
