They've literally been caught numerous times staging fake stories. If that isn't fake news I don't know what is.

I think they post a lot of things that are true and they post a lot of things that are not true. I dont know what the balance is on that scale, but stories that are just blatantly false and created in bad faith really tarnishes the brand. Such as:

Filming Trump feeding the koi fish, then zooming in on Trump, cropping out the ambassador. While the camera was zoomed in the ambassador dumped all the fish food, then they zoomed back out when Trump dumped it. Trump was following the ambassadors lead, but CNN ran with the line that he was overfeeding the fish.

Theres a plethora of purposely false and misleading stories like that.

CNN has been 100% accurate and has some of the most brilliant discussion on current political matters I think of any organization in history.

People are just butthurt because they can't stand actually having to think critically and reassess their views on the world.

Lemon will go down as one of the best political minds in history. Fact.

Lying at all pretty much disqualifies any news organization from anything. Luckily, CNN has never done that. I refuse to believe they would lie.

It really isn't. We are witnessing a Renaissance of open minded moral and cultural assessment. Never before have so many networks and personalities thrown away their differences to change the world. Many of them are doing it without any additional compensation or support from writers.

This is history.

I've never seen a 'CNN has staged x' topic that didn't end in the conclusion 'CNN didn't stage x but conservative rags ran with the story to validate Trumpian propaganda'.

I always thought of them as a center right network that fakes being leftist by pushing socially left wing talking points.

CNN is much more central than most leftists would like. The primary complaints are that they give too much airtime to pundits from the opposite side of the aisle.

Seems strange to compare it to Fox News.

Nah, I'm what they call "Woke"

How do you deny CNN's actual footage of faking news? For the 32 people that voted no. Just curious.

Like pretty much all major news networks, CNN is biased and sometimes outright awful, but it is not fake news.
