CNN is not the enemy of the people - Duration: 7:23.

Hello.

Yeah, this is me, Gareth Fenley.

Gareth Fenley.

This is an old ID tag from my days working at CNN.

Got a couple other ones. Here's another one.

This one, my eyes are kind of caught in the flash.

Here's another one.

That's another one I had as a freelancer

in 2006 during Katrina.

Looks like my cat's in the back there.

CNN.

Yeah, CNN.

My CNN colleagues and fellow alumni

are NOT the enemy of the people.

Now I'm gonna go onto Twitter here.

I'm gonna look at Twitter.

The most recent

Tweet. Official announcement from our President

of the United States of America.

Donald J. Trump says:

They asked my daughter Ivanka

whether or not the media is

the enemy of the people.

She correctly said no.

It is the FAKE NEWS,

which is a large percentage of the media,

that is the enemy of the people!

Yes, that was the official announcement

of our President of the United States,

Donald J. Trump, two hours ago.

Via Twitter. OK.

So, um. She says the

media isn't the enemy of the people, and

Trump agrees.

He says the FAKE NEWS, in all caps,

which is a large percentage of the media,

is the enemy of the people.

That's what he said two hours ago. Now,

Let's look at what he told us earlier today,

that explains explicitly, exactly what he means by

the fake news.

He tweeted,

in another official presidential announcement

12 hours ago:

Wow.

Fox and Friends is blowing away the competition

in the morning ratings.

Morning Joe is a dead show

with very few people watching.

And sadly,

Fake News CNN is also doing poorly.

Too much hate and inaccurately reported stories.

Too predictable!

So here we go.

Fake news is the enemy of the people.

Fake news CNN.

So. Is there any doubt

that our President of the United States

has identified CNN as fake news,

fake news as the enemy of people,

the people.

Is there any doubt

that the President of the United States

has identified CNN as the enemy of the people.

There must be a reason why I have a hard time

pronouncing those words.

Because it just galls me. OK.

Um.

I am an alum of CNN.

I was a member of the staff

as a full-time, paid employee

in the editorial department

from 1993 through,

I wrote it down. I had to write it down

because I didn't remember exactly

how many years it was.

1993 through 1997.

And then I came back

in 2006, um

as a temporary freelancer.

I worked during Hurricane Katrina.

I didn't scratch my nose on air.

When you are at CNN

or another television type of environment

there are people called Talent.

They're the ones who appear on camera.

I was not, and am not, Talent.

I never had approval to be on air.

I was not even what they call Voice Approved,

which means that I could, what they call,

track packages, which means provide the narrative

voice over a video.

OK, now that we have Facebook Live

I'm tracking my own packages

which, here you go, you're seeing one.

I'm not Talent.

But

I am CNN.

I can prove it. I'm CNN.

OK. And I'm gonna read you, right now, an essay

I wrote, that I have posted on my LinkedIn profile.

I wrote it a number of years ago,

maybe about 10 years ago,

and I've revised it

and have it posted on my LinkedIn profile right now.

Posted it some years ago.

And from time to time, people read it.

OK, I'm going to read it to you.

And it's about my experiences at CNN.

And I titled this essay,

AND THAT IS THE NEWS.

Let me make sure you can see

my ID tag, there's the one with the ugly eyes

as I read this.

When I quit the cable news business,

I quit cold.

Angrily choosing to dump out during layoffs,

I told everybody,

TV rots your brain.

For years in newsrooms

at CNN Center,

I had immersed myself

in crimes, wars, and disasters.

I wrote them.

I edited them.

I produced them.

In synchrony with 3,000 minds

connected by technology,

I took in atrocities,

focused them,

and made them into something tolerable:

News.

Not entertainment.

Staffing the CNN networks,

during those greatest years

before Ted Turner was forced out,

all of us put ourselves in harm's way,

not just the women and men

who went into war zones.

We all bore weight few understood.

We knew and saw and experienced

appalling things,

some of which we had to keep to ourselves.

It helped to detach emotionally from that.

In our time off work,

when we had some,

we laughed together,

drank together,

slept together.

We dated each other

and married each other.

And we followed the news.

No, we were never really off work.

We were family.

Constantly surrounded by evil,

we exposed it for the public.

And somehow,

what we kept finding was

that life is to be cherished and lived

as hard and long as you can.

We found courage and happiness,

triumph and hope.

And that is the news.
