Ferguson Protesters Shut Down CNN Broadcast Because It's 'Zionist'

October 21, 2014

Angry protesters in Ferguson, Mo., shut down CNN’s live broadcast Monday night after repeatedly heckling the reporter and cameraperson for working for an organization "run by AIPAC" and "Zionists."

The heckling is audible in a video filmed by protester Bassem Masri, whose Twitter profile touts the Palestinian cause and reads "long live Palestine."

"You fucking lie about Ferguson; you lie about Occupy Wall Street; you lie about Palestine. You're all run by Zionists," one protester said. "We’re holding y’all accountable."

The hecklers threatened to shut down future CNN broadcasts. "They’re an AIPAC-run agency," Masri said. "Don’t even think that we won’t."

Protests have continued in Ferguson since the August 9 shooting death of 18-year-old Michael Brown by Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson.
