MSNBC and CNN Still Promoting Lincoln Project After Revelations That Their Founder Preyed on Teen Boys
MSNBC and CNN are still promoting and inviting Lincoln Project members on their shows following revelations that their co-founder John Weaver attempted to prey on young boys on social media.
So far, 21 men have accused Weaver of grooming them — the youngest being 14-years-old at the time.
Though the networks didn’t bother asking any of the Lincoln Project members about Weaver, they still gave them air time and promoted their ridiculous ads.
Newsbusters reports that Lincoln Project spokespeople have been on MSNBC and CNN nine times since the news broke, without being questioned about how long they have known about Weaver’s behavior.
