>I have never seen that message on CNN
Give me a break. You don't remember "This an Apple", one of the most elitist, pretentious advertising campaigns in recent times:
""This is an apple. Some people might try to tell you that it's a banana. They might scream, 'Banana, banana, banana,' over and over and over again. They might put banana in all caps. You might even start to believe it's a banana, but it's not. This is an apple."

- digitaltrees 9y agoFair point. I have never seen this add campaign.
- rndmize 9y agoIIRC this ad campaign wasn't a "trust only us" campaign; it was a direct response to the never-ending calls of "fake news" from the president and right-wing against CNN. In a world where the the president literally sends out his press secretary to lie on Day 1 about the size of his inauguration crowd, this is a reasonable (though I suspect utterly useless) response.
