*sigh* I said I wasn't going to do this.
Look, I'm really not interested in getting into a debate with anyone about the latest Alex Jones conspiracy but if you had taken the time to go through the CNN transcripts you would have absolutely found the corresponding proof you so falsely claimed doesn't exist. I really don't have time to go through all of that stuff, the CNN archives are ridiculously huge and would require more than a little patience. I truly wasn't trying to score any points for my side of the political argument by debating what I already knew was fact.
When I posted that CNN does reports like this all the time, I stated so to merely allay any concerns about the news network's intentions being insidious in any way. I had hoped that if you honestly wanted to enrich yourself with the truth you would properly seek it out. If not by using CNN's archives, then perhaps other legitimate news sources that would have pointed you in the proper direction.
Because the proof is all over the place.
These snippets come directly from the transcripts you say don't exist. Please take the time to read them. And if you want to read the whole transcript, take the time to look it up at CNN to your own satisfaction. Because THEY ARE THERE. .
