CBS Discovers Project Veritas Videos; ABC, NBC Still Censoring
Thursday’s CBS This Morning was the first Big Three newscast to notice the latest Project Veritas undercover videos that exposed how Democratic Party operatives worked to disrupt Donald Trump rallies. During a fact check of Wednesday’s presidential debate, Nancy Cordes spotlighted how “Democratic contractors were caught on video appearing to plan to provoke Trump supporters.”
ABC and NBC’s morning and evening newscasts have yet to cover the controversy. Instead, NBC’s Today on Wednesday devoted 33 seconds to a North Korean smoking chimpanzee. ABC’s GMA on Wednesday set aside over a minute to possible new music from John Mayer.Cordes zeroed in on the Project Veritas revelation during the two minute and 34-second segment. She first pointed out that “Trump accused Clinton last night of hiring people to disrupt his rallies.” After playing a clip of the billionaire’s statement, the journalist continued with her line about “Democratic contractors…appearing to plan to provoke Trump supporters.” She added that “there’s no indication Clinton’s campaign paid for it or even knew about it.”
