Twitter outrage as #CNNLeaks tapes remain inaccessible to many online
Eager audiences are venting their frustration online as more than three hours after conservative activist James O’Keefe released his highly anticipated CNN tapes online, the audio remains inaccessible to many.
The tapes, purportedly recorded by an anonymous source in 2009, contain soundbites from current and former CNN employees and have been released by O’Keefe under “Project Veritas.”

The group has also requested help from the public to transcribe the tapes, stating that they “don’t have the time or the manpower” to go through them all.
However, it appears for many people the exact content of the tapes remain a mystery due to apparent server issues and “overwhelming” traffic to the site.
Our website has crashed...overwhelming volume...keep trying. Thank you!

O’Keeffe has released snippets of the audio alongside his commentary on his Twitter page.
Joe Sterling, once News Desk Editor @CNN admits he has a clear bias in favor of @POTUS44. Doesn't #CNN claim to be "most trusted?" #CNNLeakspic.twitter.com/VhxeJCK1lL

However, people are venting their frustration – and suspicions – over not being able to access the tapes themselves.
#CNNLEAKS has anybody heard these tapes? Anybody?

Others believe a mass left-wing conspiracy is at play, preventing them from accessing the controversial clips.

Twitter censoring #CNNLeaks from appearing in trending. Only continues to show that they have an agenda. No worries, we taken you down!

For the seemingly few of those who have actually heard at least some of the edited clips, the reaction has been mostly one of disappointment.
Regardless of weak info, @JamesOKeefeIII has created fear @CNN that will force them to clean up their act. #CNNLeaks#PsychologicalWarfare 💥

@JamesOKeefeIII Is going to have to offer something FAR more damning than what has been shown so far, regarding #CNNLeaks. Risk Credibility.
