CNN’s Pedophile Problem Escalates – Opinion

CNN has a problem, and it’s not just their abysmally low ratings. As RedState reported some weeks ago, one of Chris Cuomo’s producers was arrested for allegedly raping a 9-year-old and grooming other little girls. Cuomo was eventually fired over his own set of scandals, but that wasn’t the end of the pedophile problem at the liberal network.

Less than two weeks ago, a producer for Jake Tapper’s show was exposed by Project Veritas for soliciting nude pictures of a child and making other lude comments via text message. The source of the texts went to Project Veritas after they feared the authorities, including CNN, weren’t going to do anything about it.

And for a moment, CNN didn’t seem to flinch. In fact, neither Tapper nor Brian Stelter, the network’s supposed media watchdog, have mentioned the matter. It was discovered today that Rick Saleeby (the producer) actually resigned earlier this month. Amazingly, CNN decided to conceal this information until an announcement about a criminal probe forced them to make comments.

Second CNN producer under ‘criminal investigation’ involving ‘potential juvenile victims’https://t.co/2ofGx93RBB

Fairfax County (Va.) Police Department confirmed to Fox News Digital a criminal investigation has been launched “into serious allegations involving potential juvenile victims” and that “detectives assigned to the Child Exploitation Squad of the Major Crimes Bureau are leading this investigation” into Rick Saleeby, a former senior producer for Jake Tapper’s “The Lead.”

“While we will eventually be transparent about our findings, safeguarding the personal privacy and safety of victims and witnesses as well as maintaining the integrity of our criminal investigation are of paramount importance,” a spokesman for Fairfax County Police said in a statement…

…A spokesman for CNN told Fox News Digital, “The person in question no longer works for CNN” and that he had resigned earlier this month. Following the recent arrest of John Griffin (an ex-producer at CNN), the probe is related to federal charges of sex abuse involving minors.

It is hard to imagine what would happen if Fox News kept secret (for weeks) the news that one of its producers was resigning for alleged pedophilia. But because this is CNN, the mainstream media aren’t even reporting on this. Evidently, protecting each other is more important than protecting the children in our mainstream mediasphere.

The low-rated, leftwing network keeps attacking its competitors without even acknowledging its mistakes. What’s that about not throwing stones in glass houses? CNN culture clearly is unhealthy. No amount of complaining about Fox News will change this.

We’ll see where this latest criminal investigation goes. Hopefully, it leads to some much-needed top-down changes, and you can bet CNN’s new owners aren’t happy with what’s been going on. The network may look completely different in a year, with many of its most arrogant hosts likely to be fired.
