Things just keep getting worse for CNN. Only a day after Project Veritas released a video showing CNN supervising producer John Bonifield suggesting the network’s coverage of Trump-Russia stories is “mostly bull-s**t” to get higher ratings, the conservative watchdog group released another clip of CNN talking head Van Jones saying much the same thing.

In the new video, which is far less extensive than the one of Bonifield, a Project Veritas journalist can be heard asking Jones for his thoughts on the Trump-Russia investigation. “The Russia thing is just a big nothing-burger,” Jones replies. “There’s nothing there you can do.”

But despite “the Russia thing” being a big nothing-burger, it hasn’t stopped CNN from doing everything in its power to make the American people believe that there is indeed something seriously important going on.

Indeed, the new Project Veritas video of Jones is introduced with a clip from December 2016, in which Jones is clearly hyping up the Russia conspiracy.

“Other presidents tried to say nice things about the Russians,” noted Jones at the time, but “not in the face of an active attack on the country.”

But Jones has publicly suggested it would be unwise for Democrats to blame the Russian narrative for their 2016 loss.

“Let’s be honest,” Jones said on June 10 discussing the campaign of Democrat Hillary Clinton. “They took a billion dollars, a billion dollars, a billion dollars, and set it on fire, and called it a campaign!”

The two Project Veritas videos would be more than enough of a headache for CNN in and of themselves, but they follow the network’s humiliating retraction of a fake-news story connecting Trump associate Anthony Scaramucci to a Russian investment fund with government ties. Three CNN employees resigned over the fiasco.

The first Project Veritas video was even mentioned by White House deputy press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders on Tuesday.

“There’s a video circulating now, whether it’s accurate or not I don’t know, but I would encourage everyone in this room, and, frankly, everyone across the country, to take a look at it,” she said.

“I think if it is accurate it’s a disgrace to all of media, to all of journalism,” Sanders continued. “If the media can’t be trusted to report the news, then that’s a dangerous place for America.”
