CNN In Meltdown Mode Over Biden-Ukraine Phone Call Fiasco

pdate (2023ET): CNN journos doing damage control after the network’s Natasha Bertrand panicked and deleted tweets containing harsh comments reportedly made by President Biden to Ukrainian President Volodomyr Zelensky – namely that a Russian invasion was “imminent,” that the Capital city of Kyiv could be “sacked,” and to “prepare for impact.”

Now – none of that apparently happened according to CNN‘s Jim Sciutto, the White House, and apparently Ukraine itself. Of note, CNN claims their source was a “senior Ukrainian official.”

We may have just caught a CNN reporter deleting a war report that exposed the truth about the White House and Ukraine

And it now looks like the White House pressured them to pull it

The American people deserve the truth

Bertrand apparently didn’t get the message to CNN‘s Jake Tapper and Senior International Correspondent Matthew Chance, who repeated the now-disputed report – which CNN just deleted.

BREAKING: We have recovered the Ukraine call report that @JakeTapper and CNN just deleted

Please DO NOT RT this as they do not want anyone to see it! pic.twitter.com/vV67Jc1p7i

And the White House disputes:

We also see a tweet from Emily Horne, a Biden official, which is a brief denial, but does not include the the specific details of Sciuttio’s tweet

That means the White House was working the phones to CNN https://t.co/6z8BEW3SBI

Now, Posobiec reports that Zelensky’s office is also denying CNN’s report.

Zelensky’s spokesperson about the call with Joe Biden: “Some reports regarding the content of the talks between Presidents Volodymyr Zelensky and Joe Biden have appeared on social media, citing the alleged ‘senior Ukrainian official’. These messages are completely false”. pic.twitter.com/Z3blRfCjw2

CNN is now accusing CNN of spreading war propaganda on CNN

This is where we’re at on the Ukraine call leak

CNN‘s Alexander Marquardt gives a master class in walking back misinformation:

In their Thursday afternoon phone call which the White House called “a check-in”, it seems President Joe Biden took the opportunity to continue with an alarmist posture as he told his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelenskiy that a Russian invasion is “now highly certain” – according to CNN. 

Further, “President Biden reaffirmed the readiness of the United States along with its allies and partners to respond decisively if Russia further invades Ukraine,” according to the White House call readout. But it remains that two conflicting narratives have emerged, given just prior to the call it was being reported that Zelensky was expected to request that the US be more cautious in its messaging surrounding a potential Russian attack, per source–particularly the word “imminent,” as it risks causing panic and negative economic consequences for Ukraine. That was also according to CNN.

For anyone wishing to understand the mass media fake war rhetoric, you can see here how information is being manipulated: So today Biden and Zelensky had a call, look how CNN reported the news and the conversation content, the second one is the tweet of Zelensky about it#Ukraine pic.twitter.com/5ptTRNVLcN

But the statement immediately after the call of Zelensky himself was much more toned down compared to the White House rhetoric…
