As you all remember, a couple of days ago a young woman announced that she had a scale to rate which internet sites contained real and fake news. And Google and Facebook announced they would be restricting ad sales to these sites because as we all know, Free Speech is only free when the left wants it to be. People can only be trusted to make up their own minds when they agree with the left. So, there’s that.
Well, now comes this. It appears CNN is ALSO a fake news site. I wonder if that young lady who created the list has added them yet?
According to the The Daily Caller, on Monday, CNN made a false claim about the ridiculous white nationalist figure, Richard Spencer who said, ‘one wonders if these people are people at all, or instead soulless golem.’”
Except when that bit got to CNN, where Jim Sciutto had a panel with RealClearPolitics’ Rebecca Berg and The Boston Globe’s Matt Viser, the bottom of the screen read: “ALT-RIGHT FOUNDER QUESTIONS IF JEWS ARE PEOPLE.”
Except, Spencer did not make those remarks about Jews. He was talking about political consultants on television. You can check out his EXACT quote starting around 1:16 in the video below.
(There is no doubt that the message of hate that white nationalists/supremacists spew does not represent the majority of America nor is it an acceptable one to promote. BUT- misquoting them is also unacceptable.)
And that’s all it took, the story was off…

It seems that what is actually going on is that the mainstream media doesn’t want competition. So, they are trying to censor us instead. How is this happening? Why aren’t more people talking about this?
