This is a news guy talking about business. It's the same shit Fox does. What point does this prove that the white house is using a known slanderer for proof while saying that the evidence might or might not be true. Those quotes in no way discredit that the white house is citing this while acknowledging it might not be true.

Tell me where I said he was Photoshopped into the video? The maker of the video is known to alter videos to make them look convincing. He has faced legal criminal liability for doing so. This is not a person that the white house should source. And in the White House statement they, not me, acknowledge that the video might be doctored or faked. That's not me. That's the white house. Yet they cite him anyways. You're missing the point arguing whether the guy from CNN knows anything. I doubt he would because he's a health policy director. He's talking about ratings. Still, even if he knows CNN doesn't have a bombshell that doesn't mean there isn't one. And it doesn't mean the white house is in the clear for citing a known slanderer
