Ex-CIA Analyst Exposes CNN’s Anti-Trump ‘Fact Check’ as Literal Fake News

19

CNN’s obsessive bias and hatred of President Trump is off the charts. President Trump had accurately stated that the United States has done more Coronavirus testing than South Korea. However, CNN took issue with the statement. When conducting their fact check CNN included statistics to reflect per capita terms. Here is the problem. President Trump NEVER referenced per capita terms in his statement. CNN essentially altered President Trump’s statement to make him look dishonest. This is the very definition of fake news. CNN should indeed lose their FCC license. In addition, the shameless liar Jeff Zucker should be publicly condemned and fired. President Trump is 100 percent correct, the mainstream media is the enemy of the people.

Ex-CIA Analyst Exposes CNN’s Anti-Trump ‘Fact Check’ as Literal Fake News

By Western Journal, March 29, 2020:

Fact-checking has always been a rigged game, particularly after social media platforms began using it to decide what content was verboten.

Most mainstream media outlets have been fine with this for reasons that might be obvious to the casual observer.

Some controversy was recently created when a fact-checker affiliated with conservative website The Daily Caller was allowed to do official fact-checking for Facebook. This requires the fact-checker to meet certain criteria, however — criteria which, blessedly for them, CNN doesn’t have to meet to post its own so-called fact-based takes on the news of the day.

They’re the network, in case you missed it, that took President Donald Trump to task for his claim that the United States had done more coronavirus testing than South Korea.

“Just reported that the United States has done far more ‘testing’ than any other nation, by far! In fact, over an eight day span, the United States now does more testing than what South Korea (which has been a very successful tester) does over an eight week span,” Trump tweeted Wednesday.

On Tuesday, he’d said something similar during a town hall-style meeting broadcast on Fox News: “We now have 370,000 tests that have been done. The majority of those — over 220,000 in the last eight days, which, those of you who have been tracking the South Korea numbers, put us equivalent to what they did in eight weeks that we did in eight days,” he said.

CNN had an issue with this declaration:

Former CIA analyst (and current conservative radio host) Buck Sexton didn’t quite see how this added up.

“A ‘fact check’ in which CNN changes the fact being checked in order to take a cheap shot at a Trump,” Sexton tweeted Thursday.

“He said ‘more,’ not ‘more per capita.’ He’s right. Stop being the worst, CNN.”

CNN doesn’t have or need an FCC license, they are on cable, no broadcast tv stations.
Please stop saying that, makes you sound uninformed. What else don’t you know???

Having already determined for myself (by watching how the news is presented by Fox and CNN) and concluding that CNN presents all news from a negative perspective, and seems to be caught up in the Trump syndrome that has become continuing conduct to put down this President in every manner possible, the conclusions of this article are accurate. I realize that Fox is very pro POTUS, but they have commentators who will not turn purposely the truth to a negative, and I do have more confidence in what I hear from Fox than I do from CNN. In this time of crisis you would think that we would all pull together; yet CNN and people like Pelosi and AOC, etc., and the Democratic Party seem hell bent on saying and doing everything malicious directed towards POTUS. Our country is in deep trouble from these nay Sayers.

Zucker wouldn’t be running CNN unless he pleased his masters at AT&T. when you own something 100% you are responsible for what they do over and over again. AT&T’s contracts with federal government should be fully and completely audited for compliance and cancelled if one i is no dotted and one t not crossed.

We need to cease carping about CNN and point the finger directly at their masters at AT&T who write the paychecks that fund the Communist News Network.

Join the real world folks. The annual influenza deaths are at the lowest estimate about 300,000 there are much higher estimates but not all cases get recorded. So let us take the lower one. The latest Covid .number is 34,102 world wide. That is, again roughly 10%. Granted there will be many more but let us keep calm.

Factcheck dot org is funded by the Annenburg Foundation. If that sounds familiar it is because a certain “community organizer” and his terrorist mentor once sat on their board of directors.

Leftist “fact checkers” are nothing less than the Agency of Truth in “1984”.

The highlight of every Presidential news conference is the President telling CNN they are fake news! Thank you MR. President and keep reminding everyone.
