Footage released by Project Veritas of CNN technical director Charlie Chester discussing the networkâs move to focus mainly on climate change resurfaced on social media Wednesday.
âLike, our [CNNâs] focus was to get Trump out of office, right? Without saying it, thatâs what it was, right?â Chester said to the journalist in the undercover recording. âSo our next thing is going to be for climate change awareness.â The video takes place in what appears to be a restaurant or bar, and is a continuation of a series of clips originally shared in 2021.
In the Project Veritas footage, Chester said the âclimate thing is gonna take years. So, theyâll probably be able to milk that for quite a bit.â He later said that âClimate change is going to be the next COVID thing for CNN. Weâre gonna hone in on it.â
The tech director claimed in the video that the decision to focus on climate change came from the former head of CNN, Jeff Zucker, who left the network in early 2022.
The video went viral on social media shortly after transportation secretary Pete Buttigieg shared a Tweet regarding climate change. Biden also called climate change a âclear and present dangerâ Wednesday, and nearly declared a national climate emergency on the same day, CNN reported.
