Anonymous Idiot Interrupts CNN Broadcast to Yell ‘CNN is Fake News!’

“CNN is fake news!” Was shouted through the streets of New York tonight.

While Anderson Cooper and the rest of the on-site CNN gang discussed the tragic terrorist attack that took the lives of numerous people in New York City today, a modern day, antihero version of Paul Revere marched through the live broadcast to declare that CNN does not offer factual reporting.

“CNN is fake news! CNN is fake news! CNN is fake news! Anderson Cooper is fake news!” Declared the unnamed idiot — all while holding a smart phone in his face to record his efforts against corporate media.

Cooper and the crew continued discussing the intentions behind the terrorist attack, remaining completely undisturbed by the shouting man. Not to get too speculative, but the fact that this guy built-up enough anger toward the network to actually shout at a CNN crew is a pretty clear indicator that he’s a huge fan of InfoWars and Alex Jones, as those types love to cause scenes on live news recordings. If not, then he’s at least a Daily Caller follower.

Plus, the guy was recording the whole thing with his phone and most likely live-streaming it — which is another favorite hobby of conspiracy alt-right types. Leaders of the movement — like Baked Alaska, Mike Cernovich, and Scott Adams — more or less Periscope their entire lives for no apparent reason, so the “CNN is fake news!” dude is obviously a wanna-be version of them.

Or maybe — just maybe — this stunt was to land him a Tucker Carlson appearance, where the Fox News host has had similarly excellent guests like that random “Antifa” professor and the anti-Trump witch.

You can watch a clip from the discussion above (the shouting starts at the 2-minute mark), via CNN.
