I don't envy Lai Mohammed or Kayleigh McEnany at all. The burden to spin government propaganda can be mentally and psychologically demanding.

You dismissed hundreds of video, photo and audio evidence by individuals, reputable foreign and local journalists as fake news, but believe one spurious claim made by an army officer of the protesters shooting home made guns at the army without any evidence to justify the murders.

CNN never claimed they were at the scene on the night of the murders, the said they put their report together based on hundreds of submitted evidence and interviews with victims and their families. They also reached out to the army and government officials to get their own side of the story and they got none. That's how investigative journalism works.

1. Strike Number 1

CNN lied about 38 deaths without proof or evidence, they are yet to apologize or explain that lie or where that information was sourced from, meaning they are untrustworthy and they lack credibility.

That's lack of credibility.


2. Strike Number 2

CNN compiled unverified and unsubstantiated hearsays and passed them on as facts when in fact they are all just words of mouth and the last time I checked, hearsays and den say den say are not admissible courts of law.

That's lack of credibility.


3. Strike Number 3.

CNN referenced a video as proof against the Nigerian government that they shot and killed protesters when in fact the same protesters in the same video said protesters were armed and shooting from locally made weapons.

How did the so called credible news agency like CNN missed or intentionally sidestepped that key and important reference in their own video.

That's lack of credibility.

4. Strike Number 4.

CNN can not in one breath peddle a video to substantiate killings by the Nigerian military while at the same time sidestep obvious references in the same video with eyewitnesses LIVE on the ground in the middle of the commotion starting categorically saying protesters were armed and shooting locally made weapons, you eard it to, well, that's if you actually watched the video.

That's lack of credibility and journalistic proficiency.


5. Strike Number 1 and Number 5.

The caption below clearly discredited CNN as a trustworthy or credible media organization, they need to first deal with that lie or show us how they arrived at 38 dead protesters and the fact that they are yet to do that means they have zero credibility.
