Yesterday, James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas released a bombshell video showing their technical director, Charlie Hestor admitting that CNN used their low ratings cable network to push anti-Trump propaganda, in hopes of helping Biden beat him in the November election.

Today, O’Keefe dropped another bombshell showing the same CNN technical director telling one of their undercover reporters that they intentionally frighten viewers with news about the COVID pandemic to bump up their ratings.

“COVID? Gangbusters in ratings!” Hestor told the reporter, adding: “Which is why we constantly have the death toll on the side.”

Hestor boldly told the undercover Project Veritas reporter, “IF it bleeds, it leads,” adding, “Sad news doesn’t do well with ratings, unless it affects them directly—like COVID.” He told the reporter that CNN was actually wishing for higher death numbers to keep viewers going to their fake news network. He also admitted that “There’s no such thing as unbiased news,” saying, “The only people we let on the air are those people who have a proven track record of taking the bait.”
