Anti-Trump Capitol rioter sold footage for $35K to NBC and CNN: court papers
From the article:
"Accused Capitol rioter John Sullivan sold video footage he recorded at the Jan. 6 siege to NBC and CNN for $35,000 each, according to new court papers.
The news came as prosecutors on Tuesday tried to ban the Utah provocateur — a self-styled anti-Trump activist who they allege infiltrates protests to cause chaos and record video footage — from accessing social media, according to Politico.
Sullivan maintains that he is a journalist for his website Insurgence USA — and his defense attorney filed invoices for the $35,000 that NBC News and CNN each apparently paid for rights to use the videos.
But the feds allege in a criminal complaint that Sullivan was actively participating in and encouraging the siege."
OP commentary:
CNN and NBC paid one of the "insurrectionists" who stormed the Capitol. Big surprise . . . he's a radical leftist. Leftist media is thus directly funding what they define as terrorism. I don't think this one fits their narrative. Whoops.
