Project Veritas released its second undercover video of a CNN director this week who claimed the network focuses on the art of manipulation.
CNN Technical Director Charlie Chester, also featured in the first video by Project Veritas, noted “The Most Trusted Name in News” is focusing on allegations concerning Florida Republican Congressman Matt Gaetz because he was a problem for Democrats. Chester stated it would be great for Democrats if Gaetz was out of Congress.
Manipulation was a major emphasis in the latest undercover video. Chester said, “I think there’s an art to manipulation…Inflection, saying things twice — there’s little subtleties to how to manipulate people…I mean, it’s enough to change the world, you know?”
Many are also concerned at the CNN director’s comments about the people the network allows on the air. He stated, “Any reporter on CNN — what they’re actually doing is they’re telling the person what to say… It’s always like leading them in a direction before they even open their mouths. The only people that we [CNN] will let on the air, for the most part, are people that have a proven track record of taking the bait.”
Another topic in the wide-ranging video focused on the COVID-19 pandemic. Chester mentioned the network’s improved ratings during the height of the 2020 virus numbers. He noted some seemed to wish the daily statistics were higher, but that this was a concern because of the nature of the issue.
Chester claimed the network covered the pandemic at such a detailed level because fear “really drives numbers” and “keeps you tuned in.”
And did we mention this was the SECOND video? The third undercover CNN video has not yet been released, but the first video was made public earlier this week.
In the first video, Chester said, “Look what we did, we got Trump out. I am 100 percent going to say it, and I 100 percent believe that if it wasn’t for CNN, I don’t know that Trump would have got voted out…I came to CNN because I wanted to be a part of that.”
No bias here, right?
CNN was once the home of breaking news. Now it appears to be a marketing extension of the DNC. Biased beyond belief, you have to watch the videos to actually understand the influence of today’s liberal media.
The mainstream news is not your friend. They have an agenda, and it’s not to help you. It’s to control you. Whether hating on Trump or increasing the fear of the coronavirus, CNN and others like them simply want you to keep watching the network and lining their pockets.
It’s no longer about journalism. It’s about manipulation. Those on the inside support the left and are unafraid to say it. They’re also mining for dollars, using fear as the basis to increase viewership.
You don’t have to be a pawn for CNN and the left. Turn. It. Off. Think for yourself. Break the fear cycle that feeds the left’s narrative. You’ll be glad you did.
That is the mail reason I stopped watching CNN. ay one time I thought they were reporting news, but I soon realized that all their questions to interviewees were biased. The others all not quite as bad but the di the same thing.
I don’t watch CNN, never did, never will. Any news channel just reports what they are told to say, and never the truth. You never get the full story. You never see anything on the news about the border problems, never anything about Hunter Biden and his million dollar deal over seas. All the news channels sucks.what about Joe Biden and his cover up of he and his son, don’t forget Joes brother . Never see any of that on the news.
Gee, are you really surprised? Donald J. Trump was 100% right calling main stream media “The fake news.” The problem is the left is so filled with hatred and bias against the conservative points of view and DJT in particular that they can’t see past their noses.
Commie News Network
Have you ever taken a good look at the news readers on CNN? To me, l think that they must have some heavy gas in sideways. As they listen to the speaker, their faces look so painful.
Sorry,but the only time I look at CNN is when the real news outlets show the disgusting rhetoric coming out of the mouths of CNN reporters.
CNN is the Cancer News Network. You know we do with cancer, we cut it out . We kill it before it gets us. Do we need say more.
Anything that deals with the Clintons should be barred from any news
Well except when they get sentenced to life in prison or hopefully worse.
Aren’t they the ones that helped get Trump not to be elected. Now they are working on Matt Gaetz, not surprised, the Dems would put it to their own family if it would get them ahead. They seem souless to me, just evil.
Excellent post!
I really wish people would read their comments before they push enter. You almost made some good points, but due to misspellings and omissions your comment is simply unreadable. I’m sure come of it was “spell checker”, like replacing “main” with “mail”, but if you would just look it over before sending it you might catch some of that.

Will not watch it. Their ratings don’t include me
I haven’t watched this excuse for a news channel for over 15 years!
We used to refer CNN as the Clinton News Network as it became left leaning in the Clinton days. Havent watched it since, except for an occasional foray when I want to see the spin they are using during crises. I guess nowadays, the Communist News Network would be more appropriate!
cnn just a bunch of liars.
I was hoping the media would stay unbiased but have proven to be as corrupt as the rest. Now I guess it’s time for us to fix the problems they had a chance to fix but were going to do it the right way. Follow the Yellow Brick road. Were going to go see the Wizard. lol.
CNN, The Clinton News Network! Who really gives a rats ass?
They shouldn’t only be in trouble they should lose their license to operate. Trump was right again all along telling America that they were lying and they were Fake news. f you have a half an ounce of common scense you can hear this guy spill this out. Laws have been violated so who is going to make them stand accountable. You as a viewer can just step away from that network or any other rubbish network or just start boycotting their sponsers No wonder all of the fake corporations had the same talking points, they were all like carbon copy news cast. I am sorry propaganda broadcast

I don’t think viewers have kept CNN alive through all their scandals. I believe private globalist donors like Soros have been keeping the lights on at CNN for a.long time.
All you politicians out there needs to get your shit together becouse you don’t wont the American people to do it for you because you all will be gone you people need to stop messing up our country and Biden dose not belong in the white house every one no’s that he cheated so let’s work on getting him out of office and Harris.
I quit watching that Network years ago. They arent truthful. Its fake news.
The entire news media has to become accountable for the news they spread to the entire country by NOT allowing them to lie. Get rid of whatever protects them from lying. Free speech is intended to be free but not to allow lie after lie after lie. This is ruining our country along with the Demorats and their Socialist agenda. I have no idea how or why the Squad or the Communist are even allowed in our country let alone be political people in our government. Get them out of our country, they are guilty of treason. Give them their chance in court just like they gave President Trump a chance in their mock accusations and impeachment exercises.
I quit watching that Network years ago….fake news.
I stopped watching the COMMUNIST NEWS NETWORK a long, long time ago! Journalism is dead. The rest of the MSM is a cesspool of misfits who try and manipulate those that watch into believing that because of their skin color, religion, gender etc you must apologize for the way you were born. It’s ALL BS. Kudos for Project Veritas for what their doing. Hopefully, more eyes will be opened.
Chester would be best to pack his stuff and move to China or Russia . His face get seen hope he tough enough to handle a punch! American want honest news not lies! Or COMMUNISTS NEWS! We can make our own choices about other!
Commie News Network
CNN is not a reliable source of news. They have and always will find a subject, whether a person or like Covid, to exploit. Ratings is money. CNN, hopefully, will lose their credibility like Fox. CNN does not care who they destroy so long as people watch.
I agree with most of the comments made here, but I think it goes much further. For instance, “the media” follows the same patterns no matter which channel you watch. They all say the same thing (with a few exceptions). It’s as if someone is writing the script for them. But it doesn’t stop there. There are powerful people behind the scenes directing, not only our news but our government itself. Consider all the propaganda that flows out of Congress. You see polls telling us that 99% of the people will disagree on something stupid Biden, or anyone else has done, but it becomes law anyway. Representatives in Congress surely aren’t working for you but they damn sure are working for someone (you don’t become a millionaire on a congressman’s salary – 268 of 534 congressional members are millionaires). The immigration policies that the current administration is passing is a good example of how we’re being transformed from a free society to an authoritarian society and those behind the scenes are winning. They are taking our liberty, our freedom, away.

Errors can’t be avoided BUT when the truth is as obvious as we have been seeing.
“Peaceful protest, with businesses burning in the background” believing is tough.
I think the 6 should be subject to the plight of “Ma Bell” and become at least 106.
CNN IS A DISGRACE AS FAR A A SUPPOSEDLY NEWS. BIASED EDIT EVERYTHING GOOD ABOUT THIS COUNTRY AND THEN LIE ABOUT WHATS BAD.EVEN AFTER THEY HAVE BEEN PROVEN AS WRONG OR FACE THEY KEEP SPINNING LIES. THEY ARE AS CROOKED AS CLINTONS AND BIDEN. STOPPED WATCHING THEM A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO.WHEN NEWSMAX SHOWS CLIPS OF THEM IT MAKES ME SICK
Don’t think any less of CNN, because there is nothing less than “0.” They are just a waste of time–always have been.
CNN stands for Communist News Network.
I quit CNN when Bill Clinton was in his 2nd term! I also watched Chris Matthews and initially felt he was able to see both sides, then he veered off into a Bill O’Rilley a bombastic blow hard! Then this strange guy, Bill Marr has this anything goes attitude which borders on libertarian views while loving to challenge normalcy! Typical Hollywood Demon doing Satan’s work here against Main Street as a Jesus scoffer!
I’ve found that I have a better knowledge of life and what works than they all do so why waste my time with pure misguided Crap! The Republicans are only holding Conservatives back by playing the send us money so we can take back the House? I had rather take back my freedom! The Police are not the crooks, it’s the Democrats urinating on Our Constitutional elections and Constitution! Key Democrats must go!
Like “W” said, “you are either with US(A), or You are Against US(A)! The Clintons, Obamas, Bushes, Bloombergs, and the Super rich and all the Dems and RINOs are Against US and our way of Life! Something General Stonewall Jackson would not accept! The Boogaloo Bois are shooting the wrong
Group! Are they really Patriots or maybe Dem sympathizers or maybe they haven’t figured out who the Enemy is?
Democrats want their right and freedoms by screwing over Whites and their Main Street and Rural Communities that can see the Democrat Super New York/California subjugation of Main Street America for their Darkie Utopia! Blacks want to Rule and Dems
Want a War! Be careful what you want, you may get it! It always comes down to fighting for your freedoms! If they kill one of yours, kill a hundred of theirs until you gain control over your freedoms!
What Real American of Senior years, not like the Bidens or Clintons, or Obamas, and Dems, not want to strap on a body bomb and wipe out a hundred Un-American Left wing Yankees and City Cancel Culture Dems? All I’ve seen are Blacks on TV touting Black History Month while trying to bury OUR History and Ancestors that made this nation! The Democrats are all about skewing history! History is the way it was and history is never to be falsified just like Elections!
I want no part of this Lie and divided nation! Blacks and foreigners are not going to run my life! Their BS does not warrant any more good wishes or civility and anymore respect! Reparations? GFYS! Two on one is still Dem Fun and I always heard that if you give dem blacks an inch they would try to take a mile! Your correct! I have evolved into a Racist, Hater! No more NBA or NFL, no Hollywood, no City business or recreation $$$, no visiting any Black or Dem run butt sniffing business or city or restaurant, no FB, no Amazon, no Coke products, Target, Delta, and so on for the White Hating Cities run by Atheists, Fags, discontent feminists, and a falsely named Dem Party and a prideless fake journalist propaganda for $$$$$
Loser Media! IT’s Coming and Hell is Coming with Payback!
I hope CNN falls flat
AND, Jack shit happens.
Never watched it and never will. When I see clips from it , it makes me want to puke with what they get by with. I hope and pray they go under. Stop watching these liars.
Doesn’t matter to dems, they’ll just make a million excuses, blame someone else, call it untrue.. and continue to eat up anything CNN and other bias liberals put out.
