During President Donald Trump’s campaign, he made it clear that CNN was giving him a raw deal by putting out hit pieces and using their airtime to attack him 24/7. Simply put, Trump accused them of lying all the time, and CNN fought back by doubling their efforts to discredit him. Now, CNN’s President Jeff Zucker just got caught in a sting operation with an admission on video that a big Trump story CNN’s reported as fact for months is all “bullsh*t.”

CNN’s President Jeff Zucker and his longtime producer John Bonifield were both set up in a sting operation by Project Veritas (PV) and the results are going viral. A PV journalist covertly filmed a candid discussion with CNN’s producer John Bonifield, where the “Very Fake News” network employee admitted that the whole Russia story against President Donald Trump is nothing more than a ratings grab by Jeff Zucker based on the fact that most of CNN’s liberal audience wants to see the president go down in flames.

Bonifield also admitted that he hasn’t seen any evidence of President Trump committing a crime and that Zucker wants the big ratings that come with reporting the false narrative about Trump and Russia. This admission is truly a game changer for President Trump.

PV Journalist: Why is CNN constantly like “Russia this, Russia that?”
Bonifield: Because it’s ratings. Our ratings are incredible right now. My boss [Jeff Zucker], I shouldn’t say this, my boss, yesterday, we were having a discussion about this dental shoot and he was like I just want you to know what we’re up against here. Just to give you some context, President Trump pulled out of the climate accords. For a day and a half we covered the climate accords. And the CEO of CNN [Jeff Zucker] said in our internal meeting, he said good job everybody covering the climate accords, but we’re done with it. Let’s get back to Russia. … But all the nice cutesy little ethics that used to get talked about in journalism school, you’re just like, that’s adorable. That’s adorable. This is a business.

Bonfield was asked directly what Zucker thinks about Russia, and he responded with what many on the right have been saying for months — if there were any evidence, it would have already been leaked. CNN has been reporting on this crap for over 10 months, and still, they have nothing.

PV Journalist: But honestly, you think the whole Russia shit is just bullshit?
Bonifield: Could be bullshit. I mean, it’s mostly bullshit right now. Like, we don’t have any giant proof. Then they say, “well there’s still an investigation going on.” I don’t know, if they were finding something we would know about it. The way these leaks happen, they would leak it. They’d leak. If it was something really good, it’d leak. … I just feel like they don’t really have it but they want to keep digging. And so I think the President is probably right to say, like, “look, you are witch hunting me. You have no smoking gun, you have no real proof.”
This is damning information for CNN, which had to fire three reporters this week for reporting another fake news story about Trump adviser Anthony Scaramucci. Politico reported, “[The fake news article] cited an anonymous source saying the Senate Intelligence Committee was looking into the chief executive of a $10-billion Russian investment fund who met with Anthony Scaramucci before the inauguration.” Nope, that didn’t happen, and here, we have CNN pushing the Russian narrative in vain again.
