NYT article speculates Trump tweet attacking CNN as FakeNews and garbage journalism may have been triggered by James O'Keefe's CNN sting video
‘I’m President and They’re Not’: Trump Attacks Media at Faith Rally, https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/01/us/politics/trump-tweets-stoke-voter-fraud-claim-and-attack-news-media.html, 1st July 2017 [article seems to have been updated on 2nd July].
This article refers to the following tweet of USA president Trump, "I am extremely pleased to see that @CNN has finally been exposed as #FakeNews and garbage journalism. It's about time!", https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/881138485905772549, 1st July 2017
The NYT article speculates that Trump may have been referring in the above tweet to James O'Keefe's latest "hidden camera video". It states that the video "appears to show" a producer for CNN's New Day program referring to Trump as "a clown" and "crazy". The article further states that the same CNN producer "appears to say" that American voters are "stupid".
The NYT article refers to James O'Keefe as a right-wing activist, and says that his earlier videos have been "selectively edited" and "designed to disparage his subjects".
It also mentions that a spokesman for CNN declined to comment (on the latest James O'Keefe video).
Ravi: Hmm. So this NYT reporter article (not an opinion piece) by Michael D. Shear who is the White House correpondent for NYT, https://twitter.com/shearm, speculates that the following video triggered the above tweet of Trump: CNN Producer: Voters "Stupid as Sh*t"– American Pravda: CNN Part 3, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4dRGMME4VnM, 9 min 31 secs, published on 30-Jun-2017 by veritasvisuals (James O'Keefe's orgn.).
Perhaps then one could speculate further that Trump's tweet, https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/881503147168071680, 2nd July 2017, which has a video clip of Trump appearing to beat up a person whose face is replaced by CNN logo (edited version of older Wrestling mania video), was also triggered by the same O'Keefe video mentioned above.

If so then right-wing activist James O'Keefe who is targeting USA mainstream media, and is now targeting CNN, has acquired extraordinary power!! His work seems to be triggering significantly harsher attack tweets on USA mainstream media (and CNN) from the most powerful man in the USA (and the world), President Donald Trump!
Please note that I have a PUBLICLY NEUTRAL informal-student-observer role in these posts that I put up about USA politics. Of course, as I am an Indian citizen living in India, there is no question of me having voted in USA elections.
