Anderson Cooper Pushes PHONY Syrian Prisoner Story

Anderson Cooper, a heir of the billionaire oligarch Vanderbilt family, once worked for the CIA.

An investigation is now underway at CNN after new doubts were raised about the network's viral report from a Syrian prison.

CNN chief international correspondent Clarissa Ward made international headlines last week when her team seemingly captured the moment a prisoner was found locked inside a jail cell in the wake of the collapse of Bashar al-Assad's brutal regime.

On Monday's show, Megyn was joined by Emily Jashinsky, host of Undercurrents on UnHerd, and Eliana Johnson, editor-in-chief of The Washington Free Beacon, to discuss the latest developments and what CNN should have done differently.

Details of the report immediately raised eyebrows, and now it looks increasingly certain the story was not what it seemed, and was just another corporate media scam.

While Ward called the scene "one of the most extraordinary moments" she has witnessed in her 20-year career as she received praise from fellow media-types, internet sleuths almost immediately began to question the veracity of the report.

People pointed to the cleanliness of the cell (a radical departure from other Syrian prisons), what good condition the man seemed to be in despite the lack of food and water, how quickly his eyes adjusted to the outdoors after being in a windowless cell, the lack of dirt under his nails, and the absence of signs of torture among other red flags.

Additional holes in the story emerged on Sunday when "independent and unbiased" fact-checkers Verify-Sy published a detailed report identifying the prisoner not as "Adel Ghurbal" but as Salama Mohammad Salama — a "first lieutenant in Syrian Air Force Intelligence" who was "notorious" in the area.

In Johnson's view, CNN has a lot of explaining to do. "The open question is… Was CNN in on this or were they duped," she asked. "Did they want and were they making a made-for-TV moment? Were they participating in this, or were they totally hoodwinked?"
