Fox News: San Diego TV Station Says CNN Turned Down Report Because It Didn’t Reach Pre-Approved Conclusion About the Wall

‘Then the news director saw CNN correspondent Jim Acosta at the border saying there is no need for a wall’

RUSH EXCERPT:

GALLAGHER: “The news director Steve Cohen says he was notified in yesterday’s morning meeting that CNN wanted to use one of their reporters for a live hit about the border wall in the don lemon show. Cohen said fine and offered them reporter Dan plant. I’m from San Diego and I have seen Dan many times. He is very solid. But Steve Cohen told his executive producer to make sure CNN realizes they won’t deliver their narrative, that the wall is controversial in San Diego because it’s not. In fact, KUSI owner Mike Mccannon well-known supporter of conservative causes later noted we’re continually told that the border helps prevent illegal drugs, entries from the U.S. And numbers prove it. CNN decided not to use a KUSI reporter. But then the news director saw CNN correspondent Jim Acosta at the border saying there is no need for a wall. Steve Cohen decided to have his anchors present the KUSI perspective.”
