CNN took just 24 hours to find the identity of the Trump vs. CNN video creator, but still can’t dig up the truth about Benghazi

You gotta hand it to the least-watched cable news enterprise on television today: When CNN really wants to conduct an “investigation” into a story, they do a decent job.
Take the recent story involving the identity of the person who created that meme where then-private citizen and WWE wrestling personality Donald J. Trump was whipping up on someone whose face was blotted out by a CNN logo. Man, that really was funny. And creative, too. Trump really does whip up on CNN on a regular basis. You could even say he’s got an ongoing “war of words” with the network (though as far as we know, he’s never body slammed any CNN reporters and editors or thrown them out of a wrestling ring).
It only took the CNN “investigations team” 24 hours to figure out the identity of the Reddit user who posted the meme. Then, for good measure, the network’s reporters and personalities proceeded to threaten the poor schmuck with character assassination, Mafia-style, if he (or she) didn’t stay in line after apologizing for mocking the network everyone should be mocking (hashtag fake news). (RELATED: Greenwald: CNN has become a “creepy, bullying” propaganda network seeking vengeance against its critics)
As Trump.news reported, the network’s actions essentially amounted to blackmail:
In an article published by CNN, the failing network explained the decision to keep the Reddit user’s identity private occurred because the individual “said he is not going to repeat this ugly behavior on social media again.” It added that the statement “could serve as an example to others not to do the same.”
So, all media Mafia assertions aside, we know the network is capable of legitimate investigative reporting. Now the question becomes, why doesn’t the network actually do more of it?
Take the Benghazi terrorist attack. There were clear indications that then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton dropped the ball repeatedly regarding requests from the late U.S. Ambassador to Libya Christopher Stevens for beefed-up security; and that the administration — from President Barack Obama to Clinton National Security Advisor Susan Rice and on down the line — lied repeatedly when they claimed that the attack on the U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi was the result of spontaneous anger over some obscure anti-Muslim video produced in California that hardly anyone had ever heard of.
And yet CNN went out of its way to report things like, “Benghazi panel caps 2-year probe: No bombshell, faults”; “Benghazi report: Conservatives blast Hillary Clinton”; and “Benghazi — Government cover-up or right wing conspiracy?”
As for the current president of the United States, Donald J. Trump, the network’s reporting has been simply abysmal, even drawing criticism from other Left-wing reporters like Glenn Greenwald of The Guardian and The Intercept. He wrote recently:
There is also something untoward about the fact that CNN — the subject of the original video — was the news outlet that uncovered his identity. That fact creates the appearance of vengeance: If you, even as a random and anonymous internet user, post content critical of CNN, then it will use its vast corporate resources to investigate you, uncover your identity, and threaten to expose you if you ever do so again.
And let’s not forget how often the network as simply been wrong in its reporting on Trump and his administration, even to the point of being forced to retract one story recently, leading the three journalists who worked on it to resign.
It’s clear that CNN possessed the resources to do actual investigative work that is accurate and even compelling. What is also clear is that the network seems to reserve those resources for those times when it feels personally attacked or injured.
That’s not being a media organization; that’s being a journo-terrorist.

“Ministry of Truth” Plus $611 Billion for the Military in 2017: Obama Quietly Signs the “Countering Disinformation and Propaganda Act” into Law
Late on Friday, with the US population embracing the upcoming holidays and oblivious of most news emerging from the administration, Obama quietly signed into law the 2017 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) which authorizes $611 billion for the military in 2017.
In a statement, Obama said that:
Today, I have signed into law S. 2943, the “National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017.” This Act authorizes fiscal year 2017 appropriations principally for the Department of Defense and for Department of Energy national security programs, provides vital benefits for military personnel and their families, and includes authorities to facilitate ongoing operations around the globe. It continues many critical authorizations necessary to ensure that we are able to sustain our momentum in countering the threat posed by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant and to reassure our European allies, as well as many new authorizations that, among other things, provide the Departments of Defense and Energy more flexibility in countering cyber-attacks and our adversaries’ use of unmanned aerial vehicles.”
Much of the balance of Obama’s statement blamed the GOP for Guantanamo’s continued operation and warned that “unless the Congress changes course, it will be judged harshly by history,” Obama said. Obama also said Congress failed to use the bill to reduce wasteful overhead (like perhaps massive F-35 cost overruns?) or modernize military health care, which he said would exacerbate budget pressures facing the military in the years ahead.
But while the passage of the NDAA – and the funding of the US military – was hardly a surprise, the biggest news is what was buried deep inside the provisions of the Defense Authortization Act.
Recall that as we reported in early June, “a bill to implement the U.S.’ very own de facto Ministry of Truth had been quietly introduced in Congress. As with any legislation attempting to dodge the public spotlight the Countering Foreign Propaganda and Disinformation Act of 2016 marks a further curtailment of press freedom and another avenue to stultify avenues of accurate information. Introduced by Congressmen Adam Kinzinger and Ted Lieu, H.R. 5181 seeks a “whole-government approach without the bureaucratic restrictions” to counter “foreign disinformation and manipulation,” which they believe threaten the world’s “security and stability.”
Also called the Countering Information Warfare Act of 2016 (S. 2692), when introduced in March by Sen. Rob Portman, the legislation represents a dramatic return to Cold War-era government propaganda battles. “These countries spend vast sums of money on advanced broadcast and digital media capabilities, targeted campaigns, funding of foreign political movements, and other efforts to influence key audiences and populations,” Portman explained, adding that while the U.S. spends a relatively small amount on its Voice of America, the Kremlin provides enormous funding for its news organization, RT.
“Surprisingly,” Portman continued, “there is currently no single U.S. governmental agency or department charged with the national level development, integration and synchronization of whole-of-government strategies to counter foreign propaganda and disinformation.”
Long before the “fake news” meme became a daily topic of extensive conversation on such discredited mainstream portals as CNN and WaPo, H.R. 5181 would task the Secretary of State with coordinating the Secretary of Defense, the Director of National Intelligence, and the Broadcasting Board of Governors to “establish a Center for Information Analysis and Response,” which will pinpoint sources of disinformation, analyze data, and — in true dystopic manner — ‘develop and disseminate’ “fact-based narratives” to counter effrontery propaganda.
In short, long before “fake news” became a major media topic, the US government was already planning its legally-backed crackdown on anything it would eventually label “fake news.”
