CNN staffer tells Project Veritas network played up COVID-19 death toll for ratings
"The CNN staffer who was secretly recorded admitting the network used “propaganda” to help get Joe Biden elected president also said they played up the COVID-19 death toll for ratings — and that the order came down directly from top brass.
Charlie Chester, a technical Director at the cable network, was filmed by Project Veritas during a series of fake Tinder dates as he explained how “Fear really drives numbers.”
“COVID? Gangbusters with ratings,” Chester told the unidentified PV staffer."
He also told his date that there is “no such thing as unbiased news,” and explained how that manifests at CNN.
“Any reporter on CNN, what they’re actually doing is they’re telling the person what to say. It’s always, like, leading them in a direction before they even open their mouths,” he said.
“And the only people we let on air, for the most part, are people that have a proven track record of taking the bait.”
