The ‘very fake news’ scandal that is engulfing CNN inside and outside the left-wing network now reaches its highest levels as even CNN president Jeff Zucker is personally involved in the internal investigation into a now-retracted hit piece, sources inside CNN with direct knowledge confirmed to Breitbart News.

EDITOR’S NOTE: For 9 months now, CNN and the rest of the very fake news media have willingly and deliberately colluded together to promote the false narrative of Donald Trump and the Russians working together to “hack” the elections. There is not now nor has there ever been one, single shred of evidence to support this. With the publishing and subsequent retraction of the 100% false anti-Trump story about Anthony Scaramucci, the very foundation on which CNN rests is crumbling at their feet. Couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch of people.

Meanwhile, Senate Democrats find themselves on the hot seat as insiders point to leftist staff for members like Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Kamala Harris (D-CA) as being responsible for the thinly-sourced hit piece. Staff for Harris deny any involvement, but Warren staff have not responded.

These new revelations come on the heels of a BuzzFeed News report citing internal sources at CNN calling the decision to print the “very fake news” hit piece on President Donald Trump and his associates that inaccurately alleged they were under Senate and Treasury investigation—a piece a Breitbart News investigation forced CNN to retract—a “massive, massive screw up.” BuzzFeed’s Jon Passantino reported that CNN sources told him that Zucker is “directly involved” in the matter now, as is the head of HR at CNN, and that “people will be disciplined.”

CNN was warned that perusing false Russia-Trump collusion story would blow up in their face:

“Deleting stories without explanation is considered a serious lapse of journalistic ethics,” Passantino and Jim Dalrymple wrote for BuzzFeed on Saturday. “Other outlets, including BuzzFeed, have faced considerable criticism and embarrassment for deleting content. And while CNN deleted its story, a cached version was still available online because nothing ever truly disappears on the internet.”

CNN has still not officially confirmed to anyone key details about what happened, despite being asked by both Breitbart News and BuzzFeed News, among others.

In addition to Breitbart News’ independent investigation that forced CNN’s retraction, sources close to Trump ally Anthony Scaramucci—one of the Trump associates targeted by CNN in the fake hit piece that inaccurately linked him to a Russian investment fund—confirm that he aggressively pushed back behind the scenes. Within hours of CNN posting the story Thursday evening, Scaramucci had assembled a legal, public relations, and rapid response team, the sources say, which terrified CNN since it knew the story was not solid.

Scaramucci has accepted CNN’s apology, taking the high road as the network withers under scrutiny. But he did tell Fox News’ Howard Kurtz, himself a former CNN anchor, that he was “disappointed” CNN ran the story in the first place since it was a “lie.”

Kurtz served as the anchor of CNN’s Reliable Sources program for more than a decade before he moved to Fox News, and his successor in the CNN show Brian Stelter has emerged as one of CNN’s most ardent defenders while Kurtz and other ex-CNN current Fox News reporters like Ed Henry regularly criticize CNN’s heavily anti-Trump bent.

On Kurtz’s Media Buzz Fox News program on Sunday morning, he and Henry bashed CNN’s chief White House correspondent Jim Acosta—an eventual successor of Henry, who once held that job—for whining that the White House has moved press briefings off television cameras. They said television personalities, especially attention seekers like CNN’s Acosta, seek to use on-camera briefings to advance their careers and get famous by picking fights with White House staff rather than as a tool for journalism.

Stelter, like Zucker, has found himself in the hot seat as this scandal engulfs CNN, a network President Trump has identified as pushing “very fake news.”

Stelter has been unwilling for months to appear on Breitbart News radio on SiriusXM when asked if he would do so to publicly defend CNN, refusing yet again to appear on the program this weekend as this scandal consumes the network. While Stelter did tweet about the retraction on Saturday, he has not been aggressively reporting on CNN’s mistakes here–not mentioning it again since that original Tweet.

Like Stelter, Zucker is currently not willing or able to publicly do interviews defending CNN’s conduct here. Network spokeswoman Emily Kuhn, who continues refusing to answer questions on the matter as a whole, will not provide Zucker for an interview on his role in the investigation when asked if he is courageous enough to defend CNN.

Most editorial staffers at CNN, inside sources say, are embarrassed at the way Zucker has handled himself here — and at the way the network has handled itself generally on this and related matters.

Kuhn similarly has refused to answer questions about which editor or editors were involved in the publication of the very fake news piece, and how many other people in the editorial process allowed this blatantly inaccurate piece that CNN was forced to retract to be published in the first place. It is also unclear what exact discipline is expected to be handed to down to everyone involved. As of this time, it appears reporter Thomas Frank—the one on the now-retracted very fake news piece byline—is still employed by CNN. Frank did eventually on Twitter post the link to the editor’s note about the retraction.

But this is hardly the only problem that Frank presents for the network. Frank’s Twitter account is loaded with leftist activism, not journalism, including political recommendations for the House Democratic conference should they decide to oust House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi. Pelosi has come under fire in the wake of Hollywood-backed Jon Ossoff’s failure to win in the special election in Georgia’s sixth congressional district. Despite record-breaking historic fundraising behind Ossoff—estimates expect the race between Ossoff and Republican Karen Handel will have cost nearly $50 million the majority of which was spent on Ossoff’s behalf, the most expensive House race in history—Handel defeated him. As a result, Pelosi has faced a revolt inside the House Democratic conference as several members including Reps. Seth Moulton (D-MA), Tim Ryan (D-OH) and Kathleen Rice (D-NY) question publicly whether she can continue to lead their party in the House.

CNN’s Frank, the reporter on the byline of this anti-Trump hit piece that has now been retracted, took time out of his Thursday—the day the piece was published—to tweet political advice to House Democrats if they remove Pelosi.

“If #Democrats replace #NancyPelosi they cannot pick a male speaker; horrible optics would enrage the female base and intellectual leaders,” Frank tweeted.

Kuhn, CNN’s corporate spokeswoman, has not responded to multiple inquiries from Breitbart News on whether a CNN reporter providing this political advice via social media to the Democratic Party is acceptable editorial behavior.

What’s more, in addition to all of the above, a key part of the genesis of this very fake news piece is a leftist pipe dream that seemingly originated in the annals of the office of anti-Trump “Resistance” leader Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA). The idea that Scaramucci and others would be investigated for “meeting” with executives for the Russian investment fund in question is something Warren and Sen. Ben Cardin (D-MD) pushed now-Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin to look into before President Trump was inaugurated.

“The matter has been reviewed and determined to be without merit,” a senior Trump administration official told Breitbart News for the original investigation that prompted CNN’s retraction. In other words, Mnuchin looked into the allegations and found that there is nothing to it.

But now reports are surfacing that CNN’s sole source for the hit piece seems to have been a staffer for Warren who was apparently “egged on” by staff for Harris. Harris is a freshman Democrat Senator who has aligned herself with the Warren-led “resist” movement, using congressional hearings to increase her profile nationally by arguing with Trump administration officials. While Warren’s team is not responding, Harris’s office denies the reports. Warren’s office has not responded to requests for comment on this matter. CNN’s Kuhn has not denied that Warren or Harris staff were involved in the publication of the hit piece the network has retracted. A spokeswoman for Harris, Lily Adams, when sent the above Tweet denied it. “I have never heard of this person but his accusation is 100% false,” Adams said in an email on Sunday, also adding in a follow-up that she is certain that nobody from Harris staff was involved. It is unclear how Adams would know for certain that nobody from Harris’s staff was involved in this matter, as her response came a little over two hours after Breitbart News’ original press request on Sunday morning–and it strains credulity that she was able to ask every single person on Harris’s staff in that timeframe if they had involvement in this matter. source

James River Church That Last Year Fraudulently Claimed To Heal A Woman Of Her Missing Toes Now Holds Laodicean ‘Stronger Men’s Conference’ Circus

The Laodicean James River Church of ‘show me the toes’ fame held their annual ‘Stronger Men’s Conference’, and it was anything else but that

Last year, we showed you how Emergent Church huckster Bill Johnson of the notorious Bethel Church was promoting a ‘miracle’ that had supposedly taken place at the James River Church where a woman who was missing toes found them to be grown back after a ‘healing service’. Only problem was everyone connected to James River Church did their very best to not show you the regrown miracle toes. I wonder why? Now that same church just held their ‘Stronger Men’s Conference’ that looked like an unholy mashup of the UFC, monster trucks, and an AC/DC concert. Ahh, blessed be the ties that bind.

“Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein.” Jeremiah 6:16 (KJB)

Do you want to know what creates ‘stronger men’? Men who get under the preaching and teaching of God’s preserved word in truth, sincerity and humbleness. If you need laser lights, rock music and over-the-top displays of ‘manly strength’, you have the world in all its glory. That’s not the gospel, that will never be the gospel, and mixing all that junk with a few nods to the Bible doesn’t change the equation one bit.

At one of his meetings, DL Moody watched a woman in the congregation of 20,000 stand up, and begin to give ‘enthusiastic utterances’ while he was preaching. Know what he did? He stopped preaching and had everyone sing an hymn while the woman was gently taken to another room and given the gospel. Why would he do that? Because in Acts 16:16 we see Paul dealing with a woman who, while she spoke the truth, was actually disturbing and disrupting the work of the Lord. As it turns out, her ‘spirit of divination’, so loved by today’s Charismatic church, turned out to be an evil spirit. Funny how that works, isn’t it? Look at the main image at the top of this article, it is from the ‘Stronger Men’s Conference’, what does that remind you of? If you answered the devil metal band AC/DC, you are correct. What is that symbolism doing in a church conference designed to create ‘stronger men’?

Your King James Bible tells you to seek the ‘old ways’ and to walk in the ‘old paths’, where the ‘good way’ is. The ‘good way’ for any Church is the old songs and hymns that magnify Jesus and minimize you, and preaching and teaching from God’s preserved word. No rock, no rap, no smoke machines, no laser lights. no ridiculous displays of false masculinity like what the ‘Stronger Men’s Conference’ is all about. You want to see how strong you are? Go preach the gospel on the street corner on a hot summer day for a couple of hours, hand out a few hundred tracts, compassionately tell lost people they are headed for Hell, and stand tall when the jeers, taunts and spit begins to fly. That’s what a strong, Christian man does.

God Is Giving Us An End Times Harvest With Over 230 Souls Who Prayed To Get Saved In Jail After Receiving A Bible From Our Bibles Behind Bars Program

Hundreds of thousands of pieces of gospel literature have been sent out, and hundreds have prayed to get saved after getting a copy of God’s word from Bibles Behind Bars in an amazing end times harvest

We have been sending out to the jails and prisons hundreds of thousands of King James Bibles, in English and Spanish, New Testaments, scripture portions and gospel tracts since 2021, that’s a lot of seeds planted for the Lord Jesus Christ. And those seeds, once planted, are being watered and cared for on a daily basis by the many chaplains and gospel workers who labour in the jails and prisons we send them out to. Today we report to you the happy news that the number of souls who have prayed to get saved is now past 230 and climbing. Praise the Lord!

“I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.” 1 Corinthians 3:6 (KJB)

As the end times rage around us, with bad news coming at us on every side, today we pause for just a little while to rejoice and revel in the harvest of souls that God is giving us through the Bibles Behind Bars Program. Inmates locked away, some for months and some for years on end, sit in their cell day after day with little hope for anything changing. In the midst of that comes to them a King James Bible, provided by all of you who pray and donate, handed to them by one of the jail and prison chaplains or personal workers. The gospel is preached to them, and so far, hundreds have responded to get saved. Right around 232 souls as near as I can figure from the reports we get. Chaplain Steve from the Adair County Jail will be preaching at the Camp Meeting, talking about the revival in his facility, you’re not going to want to miss that amazing testimony.

Thank you for being a part of this vital end times outreach, and caring enough to pray for these men and women who have been locked away and all but forgotten about. But the Lord didn’t forget about them, and He has raised up all of us here at NTEB to send in His word to those very dark places, bring hope and new life in Jesus Christ. If the God has prospered you, please take a moment to click on the links and make a generous donation to keep Bibles Behind Bars going. Thank you so much…TO THE FIGHT!!!

Pro-Hamas Supporters Funded By George Soros Launched A ‘Global Strike For Gaza’ To Shut Down Highways Across America For Hours Today

Pro-Hamas protesters in dozens of cities across America are participating in the ‘Global Strike for Gaza’ and ‘Stop The World For Gaza’ today, funding comes from George Soros

All across America today, frustrated commuters were stopped for hours by Pro-Hamas supporters who united to ‘stop the world for Gaza’ by blocking access to major roads and bridges in dozens of cities. This is not free speech, this is really not a protest, this is soft terrorism on a mass scale much like the ANTIFA and Black Lives Matter riots in the summer of 2020 were. These anarchist groups receive money from the Third Wave Fund, which itself is funded by Proteus, which is funneled money through the many-headed hydra that is George Soros. It’s not about Gaza, it’s about fomenting civil war.

“When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.” Proverbs 29:2 (KJB)

Living here in the free state of Florida, we don’t have a whole lot of experience with terror-supporting groups locking arms and preventing the forward flow of traffic. I have watch multiple times as Black Lives Matter have reared their ugly heads, but as far as I know, they’ve never tried to commandeer the streets. They get away with this garbage because the Obama administration, operating covertly under ‘front man’ Joe Biden, allows it, protects it and encourages it. These mass protests have almost nothing to do with ‘free speech’ and everything to do with anarchy and rebellion. And speaking of Gaza, I stand with the Jews, pray for the safety of Israel and for the peace of Jerusalem. Am Yisrael Chai. There, I picked my side, now you pick yours.

Pro-Hamas Supporters Blocking American Roads and Bridges ‘for Gaza’

FROM THE NATIONAL REVIEW: In Chicago, protesters organized by a group called Chicago Dissenters blocked the access road to O’Hare International Airport at around 8:30 a.m. to protest Boeing, which sells military equipment to Israel. Activists posted videos on social media of irritated airline customers walking along the shut-down road with luggage in tow.

Some of the comments on the post mocked “the privilege of being annoyed” and being “inconvenienced by having to walk to your flight while Palestinians are being murdered.” All of the participants in the blockade were masked.

They’re attempting to effect economic blockades to coincide with Tax Day. Iran’s attack on Israel this weekend didn’t deter the pro-Palestinian groups from holding the already-planned events.

The Dissenters are nationally funded by grants from the Third Wave Fund, an activist group started in 1992 to mobilize young radical feminists which has since shifted its focus to resourcing and supporting “youth-led, intersectional gender justice activism.” The Dissenters were given a “Mobilize Power Fund” grant in November 2023 to support “safety and security measures among their membership as part of their organizing to free Palestine.” As an aside, it’s worth mentioning that, along with aiding the “Free Palestine” movement, Third Wave Fund also finances a “Sex Worker Giving Circle,” which is “a diverse range of sex worker-led groups throughout the country and bringing current and former sex workers to the philanthropic decision-making table.”

Protesters have also blocked off Lockheed Martin in Virginia, the Golden Gate Bridge in California, the Newburgh-Beacon Bridge in New York, and numerous highways and airports. I’m glad to see these activists putting themselves on display. Every one of these events publicizes how cowardly and extreme pro-Hamas activists are, hiding behind masks and hurling obscenities. With every demonstration since October 7, their signs have gotten more extreme, their chants more vile.

In October, protesters’ calls for “cease-fire” were almost knee-jerk; now the activists are cheering on Iranian missile attacks with glee and waving Hezbollah’s flag triumphantly. Full-throttle sympathy for terrorism was always the endgame, as we’ve written many times. Anyone who thought that calls for a cease-fire didn’t also mean the denial of Israel’s right to exist now have an array of evidence proving otherwise. READ MORE
