No, that headline isn’t a mistake.
CNN, the supposed ‘most trusted name in news,’ ran a segment in which they compared a dog’s ear to the face of President Trump.
Two minutes. Two full minutes they dedicated to this segment, in which the chyron read, “A dog named Chief has an ear that looks like Trump’s face.”
Your head can’t possibly hit the desk any faster once you see something like this on a major news network.

CNN might want to look into what a Rorschach test is, and the psychological implications of their analysis that indicates a dog’s ear looks like Trump’s face.
Apparently the dog’s owner took pictures of Chief’s ear to show the vet, having concerns that he had an ear infection. A friend noticed the resemblance. CNN saw that and thought … ‘Pulitzer material!’
He’s not quite a “regal beagle,” but Britain’s “Chief” has all of a sudden become a political pup 🐶. Here/hear is the eerie/ear-y story of a dog with Donald Trump’s likeness creeping into his canal 👂🏼https://t.co/3F7KI9FKKE

Social media users couldn’t help but mock the network, and rightfully so …
CNN has done more investigating into the Dog with an Ear that looks like Trump, than with Clinton’s Emails.

President Trump took a shot at CNN as well, saying he’d forgotten just how pathetic and fake they are.
While in the Philippines I was forced to watch @CNN, which I have not done in months, and again realized how bad, and FAKE, it is. Loser!

To be fair, the segment was run by Jeanne Moos, who isn’t exactly known for hard-hitting intellectualism. She once did a segment on ‘doodles’ drawn by Sarah Palin and Barack Obama, declaring the former was unintelligent and immature while the latter was practically a genius.
Hey CNN, just a thought, maybe start looking into the numerous scandals involving the Clintons – Uranium One, resurfaced allegations against Bill, etc. You know, actual news.
