Is it any wonder why CNN has been the top network in which the label ‘fake news’ has stuck?
The once self-proclaimed ‘most trusted name in news’ went to bat for the Democrats, trying to portray them as the party of peace, prayer, and unity.
But, much like the mighty Casey once did, CNN struck out.
In covering yesterday’s Congressional Baseball Game, a game that comes in the wake of a targeted political terrorist attack against Republicans that left Congressman Steve Scalise critically wounded, along with four others, a compelling on-field moment was captured .
Lawmakers praying together on the infield dirt.
This is how CNN chose to describe it …

Unfortunately, that is a tremendously flawed analysis.
It was members of both parties that gathered on the field to pray. Not just Democrats. It was a bipartisan moment in which both sides deserved praise.
Here is Fox News accurately describing the scene…

It took no time at all for viewers to call CNN to task for the blatant dishonesty.
Those are both parties praying on the field. Unreal that CNN will go THAT far to distort the truth.

@CNN distorts nearly EVERY story that way. They’re in the business of CREATING news rather than REPORTING News.

When was the last time CNN told the truth. Not in decades

It took nearly 15 hours, but CNN finally issued a begrudging correction to the erroneous tweet.

Simply incredible. How in the world did CNN think they could get away with this?
Do you think CNN mislabeled their coverage intentionally? Share your thoughts below!
CNN is despicable so nothing better is expected out of them.
Actually, CNN is just doing what comes natural to them “Lying to the American people!! #stoplyingCnn
There is no reason to criticize CNN.
Republicans praying is no more news worthy that a story about a dog biting a man.
DEMOCRATS praying on the other hand…
This is nonsense. I watched the CNN reports live and it was clear to me both Democrats and Republicans were practicing to play in the game later. Please stop trying to be sensational and report the important aspects of the event.
Of course they did!
To the directors of Time-Warner, shut down this piece of cr@p now. It’s a drain on your bottom line, it is poorly written, researched, directed and produced, the on-air talent sucks, the graphics are worse, the ratings stink, the ad revenue is shrinking, Jeff Zucker could not manage his way out of wet paper bag, it is a stain on your entire company. Kill it.
These low class news readers sit on their dildos and think people are listening to them…nobody listens or watches anymore unless they are stupid illiterate demoncrats.
The FCC needs to STEP IN and DISSOLVE “CNN” completely. If Mr. Trump is wise enough, he will turn to the FCC to put a STOP on this kind of DECEPTION, and he had better do it FAST!
What ever happened to telling the American people the truth REALLY???.Just like the liberal jerk who wrote the obama care bill he said the American people are just to stupid to know whats in it.
nanny palosi SAID you have to sign it before you get to see whats in it>>> ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND???.I guess he also thinks that the American Men who fight in Wars that America is involved in are stupid also.
