Michael Knowles: CNN Proves They’re Not Just Stupid, They’re Liars
By Jacob Airey
“Spoiler alert: they’re liars.”
CNN portrays themselves as standing for truth, but how can they say that after the narrative they spun about the Covington Catholic High School teens at the March for Life? Are the folks at CNN willingly doing this or just being sloppy? Michael Knowles offered the argument for the former on Monday’s episode of “The Michael Knowles Show.”
“To show you how this goes all around the world, how a lie gets around the world before the truth can put its pants on. Here is just one story from just CNN, everyone else covered this too, just CNN, the anatomy of a fake news story, here’s how they open it,” he said.
He played a clip of a CNN anchor saying, “We are hearing from a Native American elder and Vietnam War Veteran speaking to CNN after a disturbing viral video shows a group of teens harassing and mocking him in the nation’s capital. This was on Friday on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial when he saw a clash erupting between a group of teenage students.”
Knowles responded: “Unfortunately for these fake news people, for this charlatan Indian elder Nathan Phillips, and for the Black Israelite black supremacists, and for the fake news, other people took video. See they didn’t think that the whole video would ever come out, so they could’ve pushed their narrative, but even from just that clip that was going around, do you see the kids taunting the Native American man? How is he taunting?”
Knowles points out that the Covington student simply stood still with a bemused look on his face, doing nothing to engage the protesters that were taunting him.
“Let me tell you something, I’m a very peaceable guy. I’m a very nice guy,” he continued. “If somebody starts banging a drum in my face, he will not be banging it for very long. I would not have the restraint to stand there while some guy is banging some stupid instrument in my face uninvited. This kid showed remarkable restraint, remarkable respect for his elders. Would that we all had that sort of reverence and that sort of wherewithal not to do it.”
“I don’t know that women’s name on CNN, if I would, I would love to say her name on the air to shame her for what was a truly shameful segment,” Knowles added. “So now you have to ask, are the people at CNN the stupidest people on the face of the earth, totally ignorant of anything, or are they liars? Spoiler alert: they’re liars.”

To show you how this goes all around the world, how a lie gets around the world before the truth can put its pants on. Here is just one story from just CNN, everyone else covered this too, just CNN, the anatomy of a fake news story, here’s how they open it.
CNN: “We are hearing from a Native American elder and Vietnam War Veteran speaking to CNN after a disturbing viral video shows a group of teens harassing and mocking him in the nation’s capital. This was on Friday on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial when he saw a clash erupting between a group of teenage students.”
Unfortunately for these fake news people, for this charlatan Indian elder Nathan Phillips, and for the Black Israelite black supremacists, and for the fake news, other people took video. See they didn’t think that the whole video would ever come out, so they could’ve pushed their narrative, but even from just that clip that was going around, do you see the kids taunting the Native American man? How is he taunting? Actually, the thing that the kid is being criticized for is for not doing anything. He doesn’t say anything, he doesn’t move, he doesn’t do anything. He’s standing there, doing nothing, with a bemused look on his face while some lunatic named Nathan Phillips starts banging a drum in his face. Let me tell you something, I’m a very peaceable guy. I’m a very nice guy. If somebody starts banging a drum in my face, he will not be banging it for very long. I would not have the restraint to stand there while some guy is banging some stupid instrument in my face uninvited. This kid showed remarkable restraint, remarkable respect for his elders. Would that we all had that sort of reverence and that sort of wherewithal not to do it.
How is it portrayed on CNN? I don’t know that women’s name on CNN if I would, I would love to say her name on the air to shame her for what was a truly shameful segment. She says they were taunting him. Show me the taunting. Where is the taunting? Can anybody get me a photo of the taunting, a clip of the taunting? I don’t think so. Also, where is this? Where is this taking place? What are the circumstances? She doesn’t say. She’s saying that they’re mocking him, they’re assaulting him. Where does it begin? We’ll see that in just one second. Then, she goes on:
CNN: “And this was on Friday on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial when he saw a clash erupting between a group of teenage students and four African American, young men preaching about the Bible and oppression.”
Four African American young men preaching about the Bible and oppression? So now we’ve got three groups. We’ve got the teenagers who were there wearing MAGA hats waiting for their bus. They’re by the Lincoln Memorial waiting for their bus to come. You’ve got this Indian guy who’s banging a drum in the kid’s face. You then have this third group, just introduced, which are called the Black Israelites, or the Hebrew Israelites, they have a few different terms they use. They’re there mocking these kids, they’re calling them a slur for gay people, they’re calling them “incest babies”, they’re mocking a black kid who went to this high school who was with the group. They were saying that the white kids from the school were gonna steal the black kids’ organs. They’re just lunatics, I mean, they’re just crazy people that you see in DC and New York.
How does CNN report that? Four young African American men preaching about the Bible. That’s how CNN reports on the Black Israelites. So now you have to ask, are the people at CNN the stupidest people on the face of the earth, totally ignorant of anything, or are they liars? Spoiler alert – they’re liars.
