This is like a plot line from Idiocracy.

MUST-SEE: CNN Makes a Massive, Shocking Mistake in Syria During Pathetic Attempt to Go Viral

redstate.com

The prisoner CNN helped free from a secret facility in Syria was actually a notorious member of Bashar al-Assad’s forces known to torture those who refused to pay him off, according to a shocking local fact check.

The network went viral last week with footage of the startled prisoner being led from the prison by journalist Clarissa Ward, who called it “one of the most extraordinary moments I have witnessed” in her 20 years of reporting.

But “independent and unbiased” fact-checkers Verify-Sy published a detailed report Sunday saying that the seemingly innocent prisoner was actually Salama Mohammad Salama — a first lieutenant in Syrian Air Force Intelligence with a long history of alleged war crimes.

“We have subsequently been investigating his background and are aware that he may have given a false identity,” CNN acknowledged to The Post. “We are continuing our reporting into this and the wider story.”

LOL

It wasn't a mistake. They weren't supposed to get caught.

Why do all those leftist female "journalists" all look the same?

Yeah, exactly like how they just happened to be present at the Roger Stone raid, these people should face charges for this from the international criminal court.

It was obviously staged. The question is whether or not CNN knew the "actor" they hired to play the prisoner was a notorious Syrian war criminal. My money is on "yes, they knew".

Hopefully, this will be investigated by the incoming administration, and appropriate arrests/prosecutions will take place.

Did anyone actually believe a man who was allegedly neglected in solitary confinement for months would be that clean, well fed, and his cell completely free of debris, trash, waste, etc.?

Who's that dumb?

Mainlining their own propaganda, feels good for a few hours but wreaks havoc on the appearance.

Let's go back to the science of phrenology....
Its creator assumed that somewhere along the formation of the human being in question certain physical traits played nurturing host to certain types of mental and emotional outcomes and that the patterns could be observed in head shapes.

Frankly I think the guy was on to something and I think it extends beyond the head shapes. I believe it shows itself facial features and even in the way the eyes are parted and set.

Indeed.

CNN NEVER attended a Trump rally - they showed up FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER - In Butler , PA - President Trump's first assassination attempt - ain't that some coinkidink ?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!!?

 

[skye]

CNN and Hoax go together like honey and bee.

So no surprises there.

CNN viewers.

 

[ColonelAngus]

It looked staged AF. Why shut off the camera to shoot the lock?

News faggots lie. Remember Brian Williams claiming he nearly got shot down?

The guy had not seen daylight in 3 months, yet he goes outside and looks right at the sun?

How much SHIT must have been piled up in his cell?

This story has more holes than a Hunter Biden whore orgy.

CNN should have gone by the old saying…
