CNN’s ‘Scum’ Tweet Reporter Asks Whether U.S. MH17 Evidence Is ‘Credible’

CNN Reporter Removed over ‘Scum’ Tweet Asks Whether U.S.’s MH17 Evidence Is ‘Credible’ (Mediaite)

Diana Magnay, a CNN foreign correspondent who was just removed from Israel-Palestine coverageand sent to Moscow following a tweet in which she called Israelis cheering the Gaza ground invasion “scum,” wondered to CNN’s Carol CostelloTuesday morning how credible the U.S.’s evidence against Russian separatists in the downing of flight MH17 was.

“Russia is really saying, look, your evidence, U.S. and Kiev, is not definitive,” Magnay said, elaborating on Russia’s pair of theories that blame Kiev. “They say that those audio intercepts that the U.S. has been pointing to were doctored and could have been put together very easily, and saying this is our version of events. So really it’s the propaganda machine spinning on both sides in what is an information war — certainly as it’s seen from the Russian angle.”
