It’s always a beautiful day when the mainstream media propagandists are held accountable for their LIES but it’s even more satisfying when those lies they’re being forced to answer for had to do with slandering an American hero!
In 2021 CNN ran a report accusing U.S. Navy Veteran Zachary Young of running a “black market” scheme to profit off of “desperate Afghans” who were trapped in the country after President Joe Biden’s horrific withdrawal led to it falling into the hands of the Taliban.
Young WAS transporting Afghans out of the country, but CNN took it upon themselves to make up this story about him being some kind of evil individual.
During their segment attacking the veteran and his evacuation efforts for no reason, CNN’s Jake Tapper even sarcastically highlighted the fact that Young had said “unfortunately” in a message to the network discussing the extremely limited evacuation slots, suggesting that Young was benefitting from the fact that people would be left behind.
Young didn’t take too kindly to this and sued them for defamation over their entirely dishonest report.
On Friday, the jury sided with the military veteran and ruled that the lying propaganda network owed him $5 million for slandering him!
The jury determined that Young was owed $4 million in financial damages and another $1 million in emotional damages caused by CNN.
