Surprise! James O'Keefe shows up on the CNN staff phone and tells Jeff Zucker that he has been recording his calls for months
"We have a lot of footage that shows that you are not really independent for a journalist.
The founder of the Veritas project, James O'Keefe, appeared unexpectedly on a CNN editorial phone call - from CNN President Jeff Zucker - to inform the station that for the past two months he has been secretly recording calls revealing their efforts to distort news coverage in favor of a particular political party.
In a video clip posted on social media, O'Keefe can be seen bursting in on the call and asking for Jeff Zucker. [VIDEO]
"I've basically been listening to your CNN conversations for two months and recording everything," says O'Keefe. "I just wanted to ask you a few questions, if you have time. Then he asks Zucker a significant question: "Do you still think you're the most trusted name in the news?
"I must say, from what I've heard on these phone calls, I don't know," O'Keefe added. "We have a lot of footage that shows you are not really independent for a journalist."
A short time later, Zucker replied, "Okay, thanks... for your comments. Given that, I think we'll set up a new system, we'll come back to you and we'll do the rest of the phone call a little later.
O'keefe informed the group that he will be releasing a series of recordings during the course of Tuesday and explained his approach.
"We've been recording for a while and we have clips from various producers who talk, describe their motives, describe their political philosophy, describe how they don't report certain things, certain political parties tell them to cover things in a certain way," O'Keefe continued.
He also added that an insider at CNN was responsible for giving the group access to calls, describing the source as "courageous.
"We think it's important that the American people know how you produce their sources, how you, to quote Noam homsky, 'fabricate consent. The consent should not be produced, it should be informed."
O'Keefe pointed out that the Veritas project will begin on Tuesday at 7 p.m. (Wednesday 010 German time) with the release of the recordings.
"Get ready," he said.
