“You admit your network is helping certain candidates for political office, and you’re admitting that you wanted to hide it.”
“You admit your network is helping certain candidates for political office, and you’re admitting that you wanted to hide it.”

James O’Keefe interrupted a date CNN staffer Charlie Chester was having with an undercover Veritas mole. He waltzed over to Chester’s table and sat down to confront Charlie over statements he made.

“I can stand six feet away from you and ask you the same questions.”
“I’d like you to, yeah.”
“You’re not going to get me to talk about anything… So-”
“Well you also said that it was in your words, “...propaganda.” I’m quoting you here.”
“I’m not talking to you guys.”
“Alright, well you’ve already spoken with us.”
The conversation continues in the parking lot. “You admit your network is helping certain candidates for political office, and you’re admitting that you wanted to hide it. Why hide it Charlie?”
Chester slams his car door on O’Keefe’s microphone. “Why hide it?”
O'Keefe finishes off by interviewing a restaurant employee who said Chester acted rude when ordering.
In case you missed it: Project Veritas unleashed another explosive undercover video. This latest sting targeted CNN’s Technical Director Charlie Chester. He was recorded talking to a female journalist about what the network does in terms of their ulterior political motives.
In one clip Chester boasts that CNN was responsible for getting former President Trump out of office due to their biased coverage. "Look what we did, we [CNN] got Trump out. I am 100 percent going to say it, and I 100 percent believe that if it wasn't for CNN, I don't know that Trump would have got voted out…I came to CNN because I wanted to be a part of that."
Charlie Chester specifically says that CNN portrayed Biden’s age and health in the most appealing light they could possibly do. However when it came to Trump, Chester says CNN brought on medical people to speculate about his health. That from doing so the network was capable of selling the notion that Trump’s mind was on a worse decline.
On a now-deleted LinkedIn account CNN Technical Director Charlie Chester listed “played an integral part in the 2020 Presidential elections” as a job accomplishment.
In another clip, Chester is asked to define how CNN would employ propaganda. In response the network's technical director highlighted the ongoing Matt Gaetz sex scandal. "So we're going to keep running those stories to keep hurting him and make it so that it can't be buried and just like settled outside of court and just like, you know if we keep pushing that, it's helping us."
If CNN were to employ propaganda, that’s how they would do it. Wink wink. Nudge nudge.
“Fear sells,” Chester tells the undercover journalist. He says CNN’s next big target is going all in on a climate change narrative. It’s being set up as an overall replacement once the COVID pandemic finishes off.
Yesterday Scientific American tweeted that they along with “major news outlets worldwide” have all agreed to use “climate emergency” as the new standard lingo on the subject.
