\"Shawn<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

Andy11M sends us a link to The Daily Caller<\/a> which reports that CNN’s go-to forensics expert in the Michael Brown\/Ferguson case isn’t who he says he is, and he doesn’t have the credentials that he says he has. Now, I don’t watch CNN, I haven’t since they ran that report of the military using chemical agents to kill defectors to the North Vietnamese in the late 90s. But apparently they used this Shawn Parcells pretty extensively;<\/p>\n

Parcells appeared on all of the major cable TV networks, but showed up most frequently on CNN. He was interviewed multiple times on Anderson Cooper 360, and by Jake Tapper and Ashleigh Banfield. He also made at least two appearances on HLN with Nancy Grace.<\/p>\n

But in its investigation, the very same network that cited Parcells so often found that he had embellished his academic background and that he conducted a 2012 autopsy in Missouri without a licensed pathologist present.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He even made up the term that CNN used to lend credibility to his reportage – a Forensic Pathologist Assistant. Of course, in true pretender fashion, Purcells blames CNN for not checking his creds;<\/p>\n

Despite ample public evidence against Parcells, he told TheDC that when he was making the rounds on the TV circuit to discuss the Brown autopsy, networks never asked about his professional past.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was expecting them to ask, but they never did,\u201d Parcells said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Like I’ve been saying since we started busting the anti-war phonies here, it’s more important what the fakers are saying than what are the source’s credentials for saying that stuff. The media is more interested in making news than reporting it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
