CNN Hits Another Low, Attempts to Blame the Cleveland Shooters Rampage on Video Games, not the Breakup The Shooter Himself Blamed

Over the weekend, Steve Stephens filmed his own shooting of 74-year-old father and grandfather Robert Godwin Sr. Media outlets extensively covered the shooting and videos of Stephens discussing his alleged killing of a dozen other people.



CNN’s senior media correspondent and “Reliable Sources” host Brian Stelter brought video games into the mix. While participating in a CNN roundtable with “Newsroom” host Ana Cabrera, Stelter described a video posted by the shooter as looking “like a video game.” The video shows Stephens walking up to Godwin, telling him to say the name of a woman, claiming the woman is the reason for the shooting, then pointing his gun at Godwin and pulling the trigger.



“Because if you think about video games, they’re first-person shooters,” Stelter commented. “People in a game, they have a controller, the gun is in front of them and they’re firing. That is how a lot of young people experience weapons; they experience guns. That’s video games.”



“Unfortunately, a video like this, it has that same perspective, and yet, it is so real. The blood is so real,” Stelter continued. “And I’ve seen people online comparing it to a video game; people online commenting, saying: ‘This looks like a game.’ Very disturbing.”
