The fake news industrial complex has been caught with their pants down once again. CNN's recent Minneapolis town hall, marketed as a genuine forum where "randomly selected" community members could voice concerns to Mayor Jacob Frey and other city officials, was nothing more than a carefully choreographed propaganda stunt packed with Democrat activists.

President Trump's communications director Steven Cheung did the investigative work that CNN's so-called "journalists" refuse to do. His digging revealed that every single one of these supposedly random citizens had one thing in common: they're all ActBlue donors.

"President Trump's comms director, Steven Cheung, did some digging... Turns out they've all donated to ActBlue. Isn't that incredible?" said BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales on "Sara Gonzales Unfiltered."

ActBlue, for those keeping score at home, is the same Democrat money-laundering operation that funneled hundreds of millions in questionable donations during past election cycles. Now they're apparently supplying CNN with fake "concerned citizens" to push their narrative.

Same Playbook, Different Day

This is classic CNN—the same network that gave debate questions to Hillary Clinton, the same outfit that spent four years pushing the Russia hoax, and the same propaganda machine that buried the Hunter Biden laptop story. They wouldn't know real journalism if it bit them in their fake news headquarters.

While President Trump is busy delivering real results for the American people—securing our border, cutting regulations, and putting America First—CNN is busy staging fake town halls with paid Democrat operatives pretending to be everyday citizens.

The question Patriots should be asking isn't whether CNN lies to us—we know they do. The question is: how many other "grassroots" events have been nothing more than astroturfed Democrat campaign rallies disguised as news programming?

It's time Americans wake up to the reality that mainstream media isn't just biased—they're active participants in the Democrat propaganda machine. Thank God we have real leaders like President Trump and real journalists willing to expose the truth.

Not surprised at all. CNN has been doing this for years.

What's really concerning is how this affects public opinion polling and voter perceptions. When networks stage events like this, they're essentially manufacturing consent for Democrat policies.

This is exactly what I witnessed at a local town hall last year - half the 'concerned citizens' asking questions turned out to be campaign volunteers. The media manipulation is real folks.

I wonder how many other 'town halls' and 'focus groups' we've seen over the years were actually just political theater. Makes you question everything these networks have aired.

Probably most of them honestly. The entire mainstream media complex is compromised.

This is why regular Americans don't trust mainstream media anymore. They've been caught lying so many times it's not even shocking.

Does anyone know if there's video evidence of this? I want to share this with my liberal friends who still think CNN is credible news.

Check the article - they have screenshots of the activists' social media profiles proving they're Democrat operatives.

Finally! We all knew CNN was fake news but this is concrete proof. How can they claim to be journalists when they're literally staging these events?

Exactly! This is why I only get my news from independent sources now.
