Is this news? My level of trust in CNN has been very low for at least 2 or 3 years, I forget which lie it was, but it seems like every time I go to a place showing CNN, if I fact check what they are saying, they are either skewing the story or changing facts to suit the narrative the newscaster or panelist wants to tell.
Now, there is nothing wrong with that, you just have to recognize them, along with other unreputable sources as just pure entertainment, and treat them as such. If I turn on the TV I do not expect news, I expect entertainment.
That being said, there are still reporters out there like Amy Goodman who are doing real investigative journalism, but it is not something you will run across commonly.

- moyta 10y agoIt was very disheartening, but perhaps I was already of a steel heart. I remember going out to Michigan days after caucusing for Bernie & watching him lose to Hillary, and there was such an intense resentment for what happened to Bernie inside the DNC out there, that I am not suprised at what happened. Its a state full of good people, tired of the current economic system. Trump will likely not make things better for them, but to many out there it was that or Ms. Walmart.
