CNN
‘Journalist Of The Year’ Quits; Admits He Wrote Fake News
19
October, 2018
A
reporter who was awarded CNN’s “Journalist of the Year” prize
has resigned from his job and admitted to writing fake news for
several years because he felt “pressure.”
“I
am sick and I need to get help,”
Claas Relotius said after resigning from his job. In his
confession, he explained, “It was fear of failing,” that made him
falsify the news for liberal outlets. “My pressure to not be able
to fail got ever bigger the more successful I became.”
According
to Der
Spiegel,
Relotius, an employee, “made
up stories and invented protagonists”
in many of his articles in order to push liberal talking points,
demonize conservatives, and reinforce the globalist world view.
Relotius,
who was awarded
CNN’s highest prize for journalism in 2014,
was exposed as a long-term writer of fake news after another reporter
raised suspicions about a popular anti-Trump story he wrote recently
about the US-Mexican border.
The
colleague, Juan Moreno, tracked down two “sources” quoted
extensively by Relotius in the article, which was published in
November. Both “sources” said they had never met Relotius.
Relotius had also lied about seeing a hand-painted sign that read
“Mexicans keep out”, a subsequent investigation found.
But
the story about the US-Mexico border was just the tip of the iceberg.
Relotius has a long history of writing fake news to please CNN and
other liberal outlets. Other fraudulent stories included one about a
prisoner in Guantanamo Bay, and a story about former NFL quarterback
Colin Kaepernick.
Further
bolstering CNN’s reputation for producing and rewarding fake news
if it suits their agenda, Relotius, 33, immediately admitted to
the scam and resigned.
Relotius
told Spiegel he
regretted his actions and was deeply ashamed. “I
am sick and I need to get help,”
he was quoted as saying.
It’s
not the first time a journalist linked to CNN has admitted to
producing fake news. According to Amber Lyon, a three-time Emmy
award winning journalist, CNN was routinely paid by the
Obama government, as well as foreign governments, to selectively
report on certain events and make up fake news stories.
Furthermore,
the Obama administration paid CNN for editorial control over some of
their content
