CNN stages interview. Cameraman poses as a protester.
270 2016-11-10 by DilemmaBeats
I was watching CNN live last night during the protests and they "randomly" select this guy to interview on the street. The guy starts ranting about how Hillary should challenge the results at the Supreme Court level. The whole time I'm in disbelief thinking, this dude must be an actor. At the end of the interview, the anchor in studio outs the guy as being a CNN cameraman. CNN is blatantly trying to feed the liberals a narrative to run with.

CNN official video

Notice that CNN cut Don Lemon's comment revealing the charade?

Wow. This is exactly what I was waiting for. I knew this would hit the Internet with a trimmed version. Thanks for the link.

The video you posted just cuts out before it gets thrown back to the anchor in the studio who exposes the guy as a plant. Do you have a longer clip that shows them continuing the show after the interview and cutting out his comment?

These propagandists deserve to rot and, if I had my way, they would be prosecuted for inciting violence. Go to hell you who lie and do evil.

cnn states in their terms of service that they are not responsible for the accuracy of the news they report.

CNN is just one of those staged reality shows.

I seen that too. I thought it was completely set up from the get go and sure enough it was. They switched to a woman who basically said all the same things but a little more subdued.
8 DilemmaBeats 2016-11-10
Yeah the chick was just as bad. The whole time the guy was ranting I'm like "woah they're using actors". This is some Ministry of Truth shit.
7 ExaltB2 2016-11-10
Seriously it was so bad at how fake it was, no wonder he was always behind the camera instead of in front of it.
8 DilemmaBeats 2016-11-10
He's quite theatrical. Basically CNN directly encouraging outrage.

Jesus Christ.

There was a time in America when a "news" show had to give equal time to a candidate if they did a hit piece on him. 30 minutes of dogging the guy, they had to give him 30 minutes of free tv time to rebut. That shit was outlawed in 1985. Now... even propaganda is legal.

I was watching and didn't catch that.

Infowars is all over this now. lmao, must have done something right. http://www.infowars.com/cnn-interviews-outraged-cameraman-during-trump-protests/

Article basically compiles this entire thread.

Listen to it again. It's not CNN's cameraman.
10 DilemmaBeats 2016-11-10
Well the main anchor said he traveled to Africa with the guy and knows his full name.
7 fat_osvaldo 2016-11-10
If you look closely the dude's shirt says Daufenbach which is a camera RENTAL company. Right to be suspicious.
5 DilemmaBeats 2016-11-10
Good observation. Still seemed unauthentic initially, the guy is very theatrical. Probably has freelanced for CNN, seems like they're pretty familiar with each other.

You're a lawyer WALK INTO THE SUPREME COURT AND DEMAND! lol what a fucking clown, that's not how court works bro
6 IceDagger316 2016-11-10
That's not how any court works, but especially the Supreme Court.

He is not a CNN cameraman, or at least that's not what Don Lemon was talking about. Here is the article from when Don worked with NBC before joining CNN. You can see the guy's name under the pictures.
2 thedevildog 2016-11-10
Like any other profession, it's a small community. Don't tell me they randomly picked this guy out of thousands, bad acting and all.

Yeah he's a "freelance film maker" that worked with Lemon during his NBC days in Chicago. And he studied improv at 2nd city. His theatrics in the video are over-the-top, terrible improv. This is a narrative that CNN wanted to inject into the election result discussion. He's done reality television and is affiliated with the legacy media. Just so happened to be there when CNN needed to speak to one of the protesters. CNN was sure to trim the end of the segment where Lemon identifies him as a cameraman.
1 zook388 2016-11-10
The guy is animated sure, and he does sound pretty stupid. I'm just saying that what Don Lemon said was absolutely understandable considering that they did work together in the past. In fact, if Don Lemon hadn't said anything, and then people found the connection between them, that would have been fishy.
As for CNN pushing a narrative with that interview, I think that is a stretch. If they were wanting to push the narrative of challenging the election in the supreme court, they would have interviewed someone that doesn't sound like an idiot doing it. There are tons of people around the country that are talking about the Electoral College right now.
As for CNN trimming the video, why wouldn't they? Don's line at the end is confusing without context (For example: Your OP) and has nothing to do with the story.
