CNN Friday Morning, an example of Fake News?

Friday Morning CNN was covering President Trump’s coming visit to the Boeing plant in Charleston South Carolina.  Everything in this post happened in the 10 o’clock hour on CNN, and it’s a very telling example of why people hate CNN.

At the top of the hour, CNN goes to their correspondent in Charleston Brynn Gingras who is in an empty protest area, miles from the Boeing plant where Trump will visit.

She says:

Two miles from where he is visiting, where I am right now, we are also expecting a little bit of controversy, some protesters, about 200 or so, maybe even more expected to come out here and protest his visit.

So there’s the gyst.  They’re expecting 200 people.  Jump ahead to 10:30, Brynn is on CNN Headline News (Still counts) and the area behind her is still empty
Here she says:

We’re expecting them to show up here in just about a half hour or so with a whole organized — Basically everything going on. It starts at 11:00, i should say. A number of people will be speaking. We’re expecting almost 200 people to come here.

This is a group, I want to tell you about them. They’re called Indivisible Charleston. They just started a month ago, a day after the inauguration. They have about 2,000 registered members just in Charleston alone.

So again, expecting 200 people.  Also we added the bit about Indivisible because that’s a group to keep your eye on.  Take a look at this Vice article and note the bit about their instructions to liberals on how to disrupt Town Hall Meetings.  We will be hearing a lot from them.

So jump ahead to 10:55, back on Vanilla CNN, and the protest has started.

Remember how Brynn predicted 200 people?  You’ll never guess what happened!?

The people behind me. a lot of them are actually carrying signs still talking about job wages in regards to that vote earlier this week. and we’ve got about 200 protesters.

North Charleston PD just told me a few hours ago, they got a call last night from pro-Trump protesters  or pro-Trump supporters, I should say, saying they wanted to rally too in response to this enormous rally  that’s starting to form behind me.

First of all, what are the odds, man?  She said 200 and they GOT 200, that’s great guesswork.  Also do you see 200 people?  Does it look enormous?

Just a reminder to keep your eyes open, think logically, and watch what they’re doing.  Call them on it.  We have to!
