This “alleged” pedophile/sex trafficker/groomer, arrested in December, worked for CNN for 8 years by their own admission. This is what the good people at CNN said about him:

Image description: Extract of the article above with black text on white background.

They want us to believe that none of the hard-hitting “investigative journalists” at CNN noticed that one of their own was a pedophile and a rapist. They didn’t notice for 8 years according to the higher ups at CNN.

Text reads: “John Griffin, 44, was charged with three counts of using a facility of interstate commerce to attempt to entice minors to engage in unlawful sexual activity.// The indictment said Griffin used messaging apps like Kik and Google Hangouts to connect with people who claimed to be the parents of young girls. He tried to “persuade parents to allow him to train their daughters to be sexually submissive,” the news release said.//[…] Griffin is accused of sending a mother from Nevada $3,000
Screenshot Excerpt from article above ends with this: “[…] Griffin is accused of sending a mother from Nevada $3,000 to fly her and her 9-year-old daughter to visit him, and of engaging in “unlawful sexual activity” with the child.”

Those hard-hitting investigative journalists didn’t seem to notice that their colleague was apparently flying children across the country in order to sexually abuse them.

But even if the “investigative journalists” at CNN couldn’t figure it out, wouldn’t their hawk-eyed media rivals have seen it? Did the dogged patriots at FOX, with their worship of QAnon hero Donald Trump not investigate the clues? What…
