Tuesday on Fox News Channel’s “Hannity,” host Sean Hannity continued his criticism of CNN for promoting what he called “fake news,” specifically reports tying President Donald Trump to Russia.
Hannity’s comments come on the heels of the resignations of three CNN journalists behind an article connecting Trump associate Anthony Scarmucci to a Russian investment fund that CNN was forced to retract and a Project Veritas video showing a CNN producer revealing the emphasis on Trump-Russia stories are for ratings.
Transcript as follows:
The Clinton news network is now unraveling before your eyes. It is now being exposed for what it really is, fake news, anti-Trump propaganda and a political smear machine. And that’s tonight’s “Opening Monologue.”
All right, the Clinton news network, which is constantly competing with NBC News to be the most anti-Trump news outlet in the country, is under fire yet again, once again pushing fake news. Now, three employees supposedly resigned last night after the network had to retract a completely false story about a Trump ally, friend of mine, Anthony Scaramucci, claiming that he was investigated for colluding with the Russians through dealings with a Russian investment fund.
Now, President Trump rightly slammed CNN once again and the rest of the destroy Trump media on Twitter today, writing, quote, “Fake news, CNN is looking at big management changes now that they got caught falsely pushing their phony Russia stories and ratings are way down.” The president continued, “So they caught fake news CNN cold, but what about NBC, CBS, ABC? What about the failing New York Times and Washington Post? They’re all fake news.”
Now, CNN is claiming that the only reason this hit-piece article was published was because, quote, “standard editorial processes were not followed.” Now, CNN may want to review those so-called editorial processes that they have because they’ve been forced to now retract several other fake news stories — in other words, lies to the American people — in just the past month alone.
For example, on June 16th, CNN — well, they had to delete a tweet and issue a correction for claiming that only Democrats were praying before the congressional baseball game. I was there. Not true. And just before, one day, one day before that, CNN senior White House correspondent, the very angry Jim Acosta, tweeted and then had to remove fake news about President Trump not visiting Congressman Steve Scalise in the hospital.
Of course, that’s not all. Earlier this month, before the former FBI director James Comey’s congressional testimony, well, CNN had to again change a story that falsely stated that Comey would contradict President Trump’s statements about not being under investigation by the FBI.
Now, all that appears to just be the beginning of the network’s problems because today, James O’Keefe, Project Veritas — well, they came out with a new video that apparently shows a CNN producer admitting the network’s massive anti-Trump agenda. Now, FOX News has not been able to independently verify the content of the video. But here are some of the key parts. Take a look.
