Now that the truth has finally been confirmed that fake news kingpin CNN completely fabricated the narrative that Donald Trump is somehow illicitly involved with Russia, the mainstream media has a serious trust problem on its hands. Not only has CNN forever tarnished its own reputation by publishing fiction as fact – and knowingly so – but so have many other corporate news outlets like The New York Times (NYT) and The Washington Post (WP), both of which took the false narrative and ran with it.
In case you missed it, CNN recently nudged the resignation of three of its top-level journalists, including a Pulitzer Prize-winning editor, after being threatened with a libel lawsuit over a made-up story it published about a Trump advisor supposedly having investment dealings with Russia. When the story was proven to be completely false, and the individual in question threatened retaliation, CNN went into self-preservation mode trying to bury its malfeasance and sweep the whole thing under the rug and into the memory hole.
But the world was paying close attention this time, and now everyone is fully aware that CNN has no qualms about abandoning all journalistic integrity in trashing the president if it means boosting its own ratings. It’s abundantly clear at this point that CNN will do or say anything, including blatantly lying to the public, in order to push its own agenda – the very definition of fake news that President Trump so succinctly emphasized when this whole saga first began.
“That article – like so much Russia reporting from the U.S. media – was based on a single anonymous source, and now, the network cannot vouch for the accuracy of its central claims,” writes Glenn Greenwald for The Intercept about the scandal of all scandals that portends to take down the entire CNN empire.
