CNN has been conducting an anti-Trump jihad since the Presidential campaign.
They are throwing the entire weight of the network’s resources behind schemes to force the President from office.
But one massive mistake was the final nail in its coffin.
CNN stepped in it when reporters Manu Raj and Jeremy Harb rushed out a report claiming Donald Trump, Jr. received an email on September 4th with a link and an encryption key for emails WikiLeaks was about to make public.
For a few short hours, CNN positioned this story as the centerpiece of their coverage as anti-Trump activists in the media finally believed they had the silver bullet to prove the Trump campaign colluded with Russia.
But it all fell apart.
The email was sent on September 14th.
This was crucial because WikiLeaks made the emails public on September 13th.
And the individual who sent the email was a random Trump supporter who had previously donated to the campaign.
This was another example of CNN running fake news because their calling is not to the truth, but to trying to remove Trump from office.
Trump ripped the network on twitter.
Fake News CNN made a vicious and purposeful mistake yesterday. They were caught red handed, just like lonely Brian Ross at ABC News (who should be immediately fired for his “mistake”). Watch to see if @CNN fires those responsible, or was it just gross incompetence?

CNN’S slogan is CNN, THE MOST TRUSTED NAME IN NEWS. Everyone knows this is not true, that this could, in fact, be a fraud on the American Public. There are many outlets that are far more trusted than Fake News CNN. Their slogan should be CNN, THE LEAST TRUSTED NAME IN NEWS!

Very little discussion of all the purposely false and defamatory stories put out this week by the Fake News Media. They are out of control – correct reporting means nothing to them. Major lies written, then forced to be withdrawn after they are exposed…a stain on America!

To make matters worse, CNN did not take any disciplinary action against the reporters.
Nor did they explain how a fake news story made it on their air.
Trump supporters believe the media has become weaponized against them and the President.
The manner in which members of the press and networks shrug off their own fake news and quickly move on to the next attempt to destroy Trump is a big reason why.
