Snopes quotes the media giant (CNN) as stating, “we were in the middle of a live show when [the Muslim anti-terror protesters] appeared, and they moved in front of us so we could see their signs – for people to suggest that the protest was staged by the media is ludicrous.”
Really CNN?
More behind-the-scenes footage has surfaced from CNN’s allegedly staged Muslim anti-terror protest in London.
The footage shows a crowd milling about the scene prior to the CNN shoot with Becky Anderson.
YouTube user ‘shorty speaks’ can be heard narrating the clip, stating, “you see there’s more press than anyone else.”
She then calls attention towards a group of women who appear to be the same ones who pop up in CNN’s clip – only now, they’re not holding flowers but are operating a camera instead.
“They’re not having a memorial, they’re taking selfies,” ‘shorty speaks’ states, claiming the women are “practicing” for the CNN shoot.
She then draws attention to the white people in the footage, pointing out that they’re “holding all the flowers and bags of flowers to later hand out as you’ll see.”
Indeed, over the next few seconds of the clip, apparent non-Muslims with bags can be seen handing flowers and posters out to protesters.
CNN has vehemently denied that the protest was staged.
Snopes quotes the media giant as stating, “we were in the middle of a live show when [the Muslim anti-terror protesters] appeared, and they moved in front of us so we could see their signs – for people to suggest that the protest was staged by the media is ludicrous.”
CNN further states that the other media personnel [presumably the ones seen giving out flowers and posters] were from other news organizations.
Snopes further quotes Mediaite, which actually stepped up to defend CNN in this instance.
“It is actually not that uncommon for hosts and producers to arrange protesters or pedestrians behind reporter to provide a varied background,” Mediaite states.
“That said, there is reason to fairly critique this as “editorializing” the shoot and not just reporting the news. And in a climate where CNN is feeling a lot of criticism — most of which is unfounded — from the conservative corners of the Internet, this footage won’t help their cause.”
Mediaite nor CNN appear to have responded to the new video clip apparently showing Muslim protesters apparently being handed materials by non-Muslims.
