WOLF BLITZER, CNN ANCHOR: You know, it's very interesting, Kaitlan, because the president tweeted once again today this: "I have been much tougher on Russia than Obama. Just look at the facts. Total fake news." What does the White House point to as evidence of that?
As the live discussion went on, CNN's chyron, quoted and pictured above, for a number of minutes blared CNN's interpretation as opposed to objective reporting of the "Breaking news." It was obviously an editorial judgment, since its claim is by no means a universally agreed on fact.
The left-of-center media analysis Web site Mediaite took note of CNN's performance on Tuesday in a story titled "CNN Completely Jumps The Shark With Chyron Fact-Checking Subjective Trump Claim." The author, Aidan McLaughlin, is no friend of President Trump's judging by his recent Mediaite articles and his Twitter.
On another subject of current trending interest - the mounting campaign supporting legislation to restrict Second Amendment rights and enact new gun laws in the wake of last week's school shooting at the Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, FL - CNN anchor Chris Cuomo was immediately called out for repeating a lie that was exposed as such two years ago.
Thanks to the high profile newly accorded the fake story by Cuomo and CNN, Sam Zief, a student at Stoneman Douglas High School and a participant in the listening session on school violence with President Trump in the White House State Dining Room on February 21, tearfully and angrily repeated the false claim about the 20-year old and the AR-15.
On Tuesday evening, I was watching CNN when I observed a new low point - and considering the recent history of CNN, that's really saying something.
Like all of the hosts on CNN, including news anchors, Blitzer is consistently anti-Trump so I wasn't expecting anything close to fair and balanced.
