CNN cuts feed on guest after he cites jihad terror cases involving “refugees”

Mar 7, 2017 4:51 pm By Robert Spencer

The establishment propaganda media is desperate, and doing all it can to prevent people from knowing the truth about the national security aspects of the “refugee” issue.

“CNN cuts feed right after guest cites refugee crime stats,” by Kyle Olson, American Mirror, March 6, 2017:

There CNN goes again.

During a segment on Donald Trump’s travel ban from terror-prone countries, the news network mysteriously lost its guest as he made a point about refugees.

During an interview with Dana Bash, Congressman Scott Taylor cited a sobering statistic about refugees — and seconds later, his feed from Miami disappeared.

“Just today, the FBI comes out and says 30% — 30% — of their domestic terrorism cases that they’re investigating are folks who are refugees,” Taylor said.

“It’s important not to label all refugees bad people — that’s not why I’m here, but…”

Just as he uttered those words, he wasn’t there.

Multi-colored test bars were in his place.

Bash blamed the “TV gremlins” for the incident.

It wasn’t the first time CNN mysteriously lost its feed as someone was running counter to the network’s editorial narrative.

After playing a clip of the president in February saying he was unaware of discussions his National Security Advisor reportedly had with the adversary, Sanders was asked if it was a problem and he said, “Well, I don’t know. Maybe he was watching CNN fake news. What do you think?” he said with the smirk, apparently attempting to crack a joke.

After an awkward silence, and Burnett smiling and saying, “You don’t buy it…” Sanders replied, “That was a joke.”

But the mystery gremlins apparently didn’t find it funny.

Instantaneously, Sanders earpiece stopped working.

“You don’t buy what he said, obviously,” Burnett continued.

Sanders sat staring, mouth agape.

“Erin?” he said.

“Yes,” she responded. “I’m sorry, senator, you obviously don’t buy what he said.”

“Are we on?” Sanders said, looking off camera.

“Looks like we lost connection with Sen. Sanders so let’s try to get that back up,” Burnett concluded before going to a commercial break.

Two days later, President Trump weighed in on the strange occurrence.

“While on FAKE NEWS CNN, Bernie Sanders was cut off for using the term fake news to describe the network. They said technical difficulties!” Trump tweeted….

        CNN deserves the backlash they’re getting, and then some more:

        https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DcATG9Qy_A

        They’re a partisan news group, and they’ve worked hard to earn the moniker of “Clinton News Network”.

    …………………….

    It’s *possible* that they lost the feed–but seems unlikely, especially since the host did not appear surprised, nor did they make any attempt to reestablish the link. How craven.

    Decades ago–LONG BEFORE BILL CLINTON, (I think Hanoi Jane’s husband, who started CNN– before he sold it- and ran it, was also creative.

    At that time, there was a civil war in Nigeria, between the government and one tribe. (The tribe was several million people-not something like 50). However, in one particular province, there was no fighting.

    CNN had a correspondent (in Nigeria). He went to this peaceful province, and HIRED LOCALS-and had some dressed as soldiers-in uniforms, and others as the rebels. (He went to the Nigerian equivalent of costume stores,), and filmed a mock battle.

    HE PUT THE CHARGES FOR THE COSTUMES AND WEAPONS ON A CNN CREDIT CARD.

    CNN ran the program and tape. The Nigerian Ambassador to the US, the Ambassador to the Useless Nations and the US Ambassador to Nigeria all said that it was a fake. There was no fighting there.

    CNN refused to back down.

    The correspondent split with his girl friend. She had the credit card invoices, She sent them to CNN, and one or more competitors. Saying that her ex did it to get a promotion (or raise-one or both) ( do not recall that detail). CNN STILL REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE WHAT THEY DID.

    IF I remember correctly, did not even fire him for that.

      This is a well known ploy amongst war correspondents and was accordingly parodied to great effect on the excellent TV series “Drop the dead donkey”.

      I suspect that nearly all the “war” footage we see nightly on the screens purporting to be news is staged for the cameras, and re-run if the effect is not quite right.

      • Robert says

        Mar 8, 2017 at 7:04 am

        Right. And wasn’t the premise of the movie/novel, Wag the Dog, about a news network who creates a fake war in a Eastern European nation to distract people from a political scandal at home?

        • LB says

          Mar 8, 2017 at 9:44 am

          That hits very close to home since Bill Clinton declared war against Serbia in 1999 right after the Monica Lewinski scandal. Coincidence?

    CNN lied a lot during the wars in Yugoslavia. This is when I stopped trusting them. I didn’t watch them for years.

    • Robert says

      Mar 8, 2017 at 7:06 am

      Yes. CNN was very sympathetic to the Islamic fighters and demonized Christians. But Christians, if I recall, were fighting a mostly defensive war — although atrocities were committed on both sides.

    …be aware that sick old Hillary Clinton wants to open her own Anti-Trump-TV-Station about 2018/19!
    Aiming to win the 2020-election!
    If so – better bring Robert Mugabe!

    • Terry says

      Mar 7, 2017 at 8:40 pm

      Considering her health issues in the primaries and the campaign in 2016- I doubt that she will be cognizant of her name, nor able to walk and talk at the same time by 2019. And, too ill (if even alive) for running in 2020.

      And if the economy is going strong, and the growth is better than the 1.9% (last figures for Obama’s last 3 full months-last quarter of 2016–1.9% ANNUAL growth rate)-i doubt that Clinton would win.

      And, with a lot of luick, the Dems/CPUSA will be further decimated in 2018. They have some 25-28 Senators up for re-election. (Counting sanders as a Dem).

    CNN should change its name to FNN – Fake News Network or to DNN – Disgusting News Network!!

    These people are so shameless and hypocrite that nothing bothers them – you can call them anything – they will continue doing their disgusting antics!

    I recently (like half hour ago) saw on Yahoo news, the head of CNN was at a conference somewhere and was bitching that Pres. trump referred to the media as enemies of the American people, and (except for John McCain-who hates Trump, and Lindsay Graham (who -it appears, to me, is joined at the hip to McCain) )–NO POLITICIANS are complaining about Trump saying this.

    COULD IT BE, THAT THEY AGREE- EVEN THE LIBERALS?

    (Consider, CNN did all that they could to derail Sanders-the poster boy for the ultra leftists).

    I hope so.

    OK, I think most of us paying any attention to CNN’s antics can agree that the CNN people behind any CNN version of news developments are the editors who furnish the scripts that their talking heads must follow. What’s in it for CNN, that it must use its very own diversions of actual news events? The entire organization is of a common belief system, while it accuses Republicans of varying conservative belief systems of what appears to be a scandalous accusation every day since Trump was sworn in to the U.S. presidency. CNN, its political backers who also are in bed with the Democrat Party machine is hanging on to its dedication to work against the Trump goal of “draining the swamp.”

    I doubt if any of us has the actual knowledge of the magnitude of the hate that exists against the winning team of our most recent presidential election. The results of it were never expected by the Democrat Party and its related news commentary networks and now we see their conspiracy at work any way it can, the fear of their swamp being drained is greater than even the Democrats ever anticipated. They are the “establishment,” make no mistake about that. That “establishment” was as corrupt as any political establishment ever was in U.S. history. They weren’t supposed to lose, they had already made all of their plans, so sure were they that Trump/Republicans had no chance to win over the most favored H.Clinton. But, it happened because one most important element was never calculated, because the last thing the Democrats with major financier Soros ever imagined was the one constituency they never expected to rise up and prevail. That constituency was and is “the people.”

    How dare the Democrat Party make its election win campaign by presenting a proven liar and profiteer, Hillary Clinton, to the people, as if she could turn a page of her corrupt history and be a completely resurrected candidate “of the people, and for the people?” The rest is history and Donald Trump is President. It’s a good thing he is resilient, because the Democrats, Soros, an almost complete fake news media are totally galvanized to create chaos for the Trump presidency, which is, in the end, all about returning the federal government to the people. But, the spurned Democrats & Co. will not stop what they do. It will be everyday another scandal, and they’ll work at selling all of us on their fabricated “boogey man,” Russia.
    Bear in mind friends, a few years ago, when Hillary was Secretary of State, she arranged a sale to Russia of 20% of the Uranium mined by a U.S. and Canadian Uranium mining corporation. She and Bill owned a piece of that mining corporation. I’m sure most of us know what Uranium is used for, to be frank it’s an important material in making nuclear weaponry! So, who is it who’s been working with Putin-Russia? What about the pay-off to Bill Clinton who visited Russia and Kazakhstan, sent by Hillary to give a speech and pick up $700,000 U.S. as part of that Uranium deal which gives Russia 20% ownership in that Uranium mining corporation today?
    And, what is the big Democrat war-cry after losing to Trump? A hyped-up Democrat investigation of Russia working the U.S. electoral system in order to elect Trump over Hillary! Over Hillary, the very U.S. Secretary of State who gamed the system and sold 20% of an American Uranium mine yield to Russia?
    Who is the master liar in all of this? Why isn’t fake news USA exposing Hillary about reinforcing Russia’s nuclear material needs? Donald Trump was elected because he’s strong, because he has his work cut out for him, I’m wondering how much more of U.S. strategic material supplies are involved with supplying Russia’s nuclear needs, and if we’ll ever find out about that corrupt dealing.

      A few other points- re- the Russians.
      1. When Obama was pres & Biden VP- one of Biden’s sons became a Board member of a large Ukrainian oil (and probably gas as well-not sure about that)- yet never mentioned.

      2. Two DC brothers- are (a) lobbyists for a Russian owned bank (they are registered as lobbyists for this bank)- where it is rumored that Putin has an interest, as does some Russian government agency and (b) are MAJOR DONORS AND FUND RAISERS FOR THE DEMS, ESPECIALLY THE CLINTONS.

      3. Within the last few days, the RUSSIAN AIR FORCE, along with Iraqi military secured an ancient (like supposed to have been over 1,000 years old) city, from ISIS, who had destroyed, totally or partially, some ancient ruins. CNN either did not run the story, or omitted that the Russian A. F. supported the Iraqis in taking back the city.

      (Going back a few years, when ISIS was starting- the US AF had a chance to bomb the crap out of ISIS as they-in a caravan-of captured armored personnel carriers, trucks etc were going across the desert. the USAF did nothing–could have blasted them, and saved countless lives.).

      Further, some anal pore was on a radio show, talking how great Obama was in creating jobs. Trump-in his first full month as pres. created almost 300,000 jobs. (Feb has 28 days, so that is 10,000 jobs a day-pretty good for 1st full month). I am sure that CNN-if they report it- will try and show how Obama’s policies led to it. (Note, these were NON GOVERNMENT JOBS, according to what I read-and about half in manufacturing and related, half in service industries.)

    Leftards don’t want to hear that their precious JIHADIST GREMLINS are evil.

    Leftards want the jihadists to create chaos in the West, then they insult those who are hurt by the gremlins or will be the first targets.

    Leftards have a complete DEATH WISH… it’s obvious, isn’t it? They love the Islamic DEATH CULT.

    We no longer have a free press. We have propaganda arms like NYT and WAPO of globalist Billionaires who have bought what was once a free press and have twisted it into a system of mind control following their political ‘narrative’ that is inviolate.

    The good news is the Internet has stepped in with an uncensored fountain of information.

    Now the danger is from Billionaire internet tycoons seeking to censor free speech by blocking access to non-propaganda websites.

    A tangled web it is. Totalitarianism cannot survive free flow of information. That is why the so-called ‘anti-fascists’ are so desperate to shut it down.

    This frequently happens in TV discussion programmes in the UK such as the BBC Thursday night “Question Time”. The chairman, David Dimbleby, is adept at cutting off comments, from audience members and panelists, that do not accord with the prevailing liberal / leftist views of the BBC.

(Unless the ‘individualism” is something like The Citadel case a few years ago- where the Muslim girl wanted to wear her slave gear.
