CNN finally fires "Team Hitler" producer

Ilhan Omar's doppelgänger?

It took HonestReporting, a media watchdog organization, to expose a Compromised News Network (CNN) producer who covered Israel before the network fired him. This is a person who posted pro-Hamas and "Team Hitler" messages on Twitter [BEM: aka Before Elon Musk] and nobody at CNN seemed to notice.

“After HonestReporting notified CNN of their producer’s offensive social media history, a spokesperson immediately assured us the matter was being investigated,” said HonestReporting in a recent statement.

“A deafening silence followed, however, leaving us wondering whether CNN was serious about dealing with an employee who glorified Adolf Hitler and lavished praise on a terrorist group,” the watchdog outlet added.

The scumcrumpet to whom HonestReporting referred is Idris Muktar Ibrahim, who was contributing reporting to the network’s international desk, including coverage of Israel.

Ibrahim received a degree from the University of California Berkeley’s Graduate School of Journalism, which apparently didn't teach him about bias reporting. The creep posted the hashtag "Team Hitler" about a soccer match between Israel and Germany, which had as much taste as a Feces McMuffin.

The anti-Semite also championed the Palestinian terror group Hamas, referring to its members as “modern day freedpm fighters [sic]” who are “definding [sic] their land.” He obviously doesn't check his work as he spells worse than a first grader during the pandemic.

Speaking of first graders, HonestReporting also noted that "just hours after Ibrahim posted” this tweet, “a Hamas rocket struck a kindergarten in the southern Israeli town of Gan Yavneh.”

CNN initially took no action regarding Ibrahim's overt anti-Semitic sentiments so HonestReporting took action by calling on its social media followers to contact the network.

After that, CNN sent HonestReporting this message: “Idris was employed as a freelancer by CNN. We were not aware of these tweets, which were published before we began working with him. We have informed him that we will no longer be working with him in the future.”

JNS.org quoted HonestReporting executive director Gil Hoffman as saying, “We at HonestReporting will continue to make sure that those who call for the annihilation of the Jewish people will not report the news about the Jewish state.”

This isn't the first time CNN has experienced controversy over anti-Semitism. During the Trump administration, CNN's Christiane Amanpour likened Kristallnacht [the "night of broken glass" in which on November 9th to 10th 1938, Jewish-owned businesses, synagogues and Jews were targeted and 90 Jews were killed by the Nazis] to the former President's administration. Thus, like many anti-Semites, Amanpour diluted what the Holocaust was really about. She eventually apologized, but don't they all.
