Title: CNN Accused of Rewriting Questions by Parkland Survivor's Family

On the one hand, given CNN's well-documented history of sleaze and dishonesty, I can believe they'd do something like this. On the other, I don't think the word document evidence is convincing enough. But either way, I can just tell the conspiracy theorists are going to latch on to this like the leeches they are.

First of all, the victim's father doctored the messages to make it look like CNN was doing something shady, but CNN is able to show the original messages which make it clear that Colton submitted the question, not CNN. The fact that the father decided to edit out that comment should make it obvious that he also understood that the real evidence is not on his side.

Second: What fucking "well-documented history?"

First, how do we know CNN released the real emails?

Second, they lied in their coverage of the Milwaukee riots (https://ijr.com/2016/08/672666-sister-of-armed-man-killed-by-milwaukee-cops-tells-rioters-to-burn-sht-down-in-the-suburbs/). They misled viewers with a fake "satellite" interview (http://www.latintimes.com/nancy-grace-parking-lot-why-did-2-cnn-anchors-hold-split-screen-interview-feet-apart-127085). They apparently threatened to dox a Redditor over a wrestling meme (https://edition.cnn.com/2017/07/04/politics/kfile-reddit-user-trump-tweet/index.html).

Quote
CNN is not publishing "HanA**holeSolo's" name because he is a private citizen who has issued an extensive statement of apology, showed his remorse by saying he has taken down all his offending posts, and because he said he is not going to repeat this ugly behavior on social media again. In addition, he said his statement could serve as an example to others not to do the same.

CNN reserves the right to publish his identity should any of that change.

Emphasis mine.

Where should I start? Hanassholesolo wasn't hunted down for making a "wrestling meme." He made a wrestling gif that represented Trump beating up CNN which was later retweeted by Trump. That made him newsworthy, who was Trump retweeting? Well, he is an online troll who makes antisemitic and racist memes and hate speech. CNN tracked him down, interviewed him and said that they won't release his personal information (which isn't even technically doxxing because they aren't a random creep on the net who tries to form a lynch mob.)

And the only ones I've seen calling it a Doxx so far have been Neo-Nazis and T_D trumpettes who act like this is a massive scandal.

You're right that he was newsworthy and a troll. But doxing is doxing, in spirit if not in letter, regardless of who's doing it.

Lana was banned from the zoo last year for trying have sex with the tapirs.

Sure I have no evidence for that, but how do we know you weren't?  Since we don't obviously we should assume you are a Tapir fucker.

I wasn't saying we should assume anything. I was only saying that evidence presented by the defense should be scrutinized rather than simply declared genuine.

The family has evidence for their accusations. Evidence that can be examined. You do not.

So why is this nonsense in Entertainment and Television?

EDIT: Also, the Haabs' version of the e-mail is not proof of scripting in the first place. The phrase "This is what Colton and I discussed on the phone" says nothing about who wrote the question. It just means that they discussed the question, which could mean anything.

Of course, I could also go into how it just HAPPENS to be the one kid who wants to give teachers guns as if that hasn't been proven to be a stupid fucking idea who claims that his question was scripted, but that's beside the point.

So, is there any other incident of CNN doing something horribly shady? Or just them tracking down a racist troll who harassed people online and then cried like a baby when realizing that this might backfire on them? And since even the troll didn't get "doxxed" (Which it wouldn't have been anyway if they'd shown his face on the paper because that's what news organizations have done for centuries now.)

Now... Since Lana didn't bother to mention this let me quote something from THEIR OWN source that they provided at the start of this thread:

Quote
According to the metadata of the Word document containing the email that was provided to Fox, it appears that Glenn last edited it.

So, we have proof that the father edited the email instead of simply copying it to a word file and presenting it to FOX.

Odd that Lana focused on "begging the question" if CNN evidence was fake and did not mention that the other side had been proven to have faked their evidence. Either they didn't read their own source or they consider doctored evidence to be as valid as real evidence. There is only one option for me now.


First, how do we know CNN released the real emails?

Lana was banned from the zoo last year for trying have sex with the tapirs.

Sure I have no evidence for that, but how do we know you weren't?  Since we don't obviously we should assume you are a Tapir fucker.

Yes, that is exactly what happened and I enjoyed it.

There we have it, a confession. Now, Lana might disagree but how do we know that they will release the real quote?

Yes, that is what happened, and I ran off after to have sex with my lovely boyfriend Logan Paul.

That detail is a big part of why I said the evidence was unconvincing. I don't think it's enough to completely discount it (yet), but it's definitely a big strike against the evidence's credibility.

Oh, and I listed other incidents if you don't think that was a good example.

Falsified evidence is "unconvincing" but "not enough to discount it." All you have on this case on their side is falsified evidence and then you act as if this should be ignored and not make you suspicious of what else they have said. Meanwhile you claim that even if CNN is telling the truth here they should be still considered untrustworthy because of other offences? That's just dishonesty on your part.

The first link to the supposed lies about the riot goes to a weird website where the only evidence appears to be tweets by the writer of the article (which I can't access.) and the whole site appears to have an obvious agenda that makes me suspicious of them.

The final example was some silly stunt, which I admit was a bit weird. Still, do you really think that a stunt like that is enough to discredit an entire news organization? Is that the line we draw and use to evaluate everyone?

I have a sex tape of Lana and Logan Paul just going at it! Logan is like "I love fucking you more than fuckin up in Japan!" And Lana is like, "Ohh Logan you're so big and muscular! Grope my buttox of delusion!"

I have no proof for this existing, but I feel its potential existence is a point that needs to be defended.

Post by: Askold on February 27, 2018, 05:03:08 pm
Normally I would require more evidence to believe such a claim but knowing Lana's history I am certain that we can all agree that the existence of the tape, should be considered. Even if it is later disproved we can't just ignore the tape being proof of her and Logan's relationship.

I've seen the tape and it's pretty hardkore.  There's even a point where Logan somehow kills Lana mid-coitus and then tasers her corpse back to life.

She got so into him and his Japan stunt her heart stopped mid-act. Then he tasered her back to life, and continued no questions asked.

I don't think I've ever seen anyone that excited to be Logan Paul's fuck friend.

You know, upon reflection, I think I did let my anti-CNN bias get the better of me, leading me to give the emails more credence than I probably should've. Of course, the fact that it was published in a reputable source like Business Insider might also have been a factor. Still, I guess this whole incident is proof that I'm not as above certain biases as I thought I was.
