Can anyone give me examples of CNN fake news articles?

This is what has got them banned but I can't find good compilations on the net..
 
I don't know if I'd call it "fake", but their embedded journalists that covered the invasion of Iraq presented about as sanitised a view of war as possible.
24 hour footage of bloodless roadtrip by the looks of it.
 
Here's Don Lemon either being completely ignorant about crime stats out of Sweden or lying his fucking ass off and getting caught doing it live by Ami Horowitz on his own show. Ami is almost in disbelief...



This was only a couple days ago. CNN is complete shit anyways IMO.

Came here to post this
 
Just read their daily headlines. Watch a few of their shows. The lies, smears, and propaganda are literally endless.

Horowitz is misrepresenting the numbers for murder there. He chose an arbitrary low point of 2012 and compared it to 2016, rather than look at overall change (it's been slowly decreasing from the '90s).
Pretty clearly a propagandist and not a criminologist.
No idea why Lemon was going with state department numbers rather than the Swedes own bureau of statistics, but that wasn't "fake news" so much as incompetence.
 
They may be biased (and employ some incompetent journalists), but certainly no more than, say, Fox. Fox claimed the FBI was going to indict Clinton, which Trump then publicly repeated. Was that 'fake'? Not really, just badly sourced and subsequently retracted. That's just bad news.

Fake news is just straight-up, made up bullshit like "THE POPE ENDORSES DONALD TRUMP" or that shit retweeted by Gen. Flynn during the campaign, or that stuff about how Kuwait was following Trump's lead with their own 'muslim ban', which Trump spread via his Facebook page. Fake news is that Infowars shit about Jade Helm etc. So, it's pretty clear the Trump administration don't actually care about 'fake news', they just don't want the media reporting negative stuff, whether it's true or not.

Basically, your President is a pussy. He needs to man up.

Yeah, it's only fake news if it's a conservative source.

CNN has done some pretty haphazard journalism, and puts an anti-Trump, pro-establishment democrat spin on every story they do. They usually base it in some truth, but it's coated in so much bias and spin that it really isn't a source from which people should get their news.
 
CNN gave one of the most uncharitable interpretations of Trump, and the election in general, than any other reputable news network, painting Hillary in a good light and undermining all her gaffs, while exaggerating every little mistake Trump made. By the end of the election it reached propaganda status and it was quite evident to anyone who was being honest. They weren't lying, per se, but it was blatantly anti-Trump propaganda.

Fake news is a misnomer, but the implication behind the term is apt. Plus, I thought we were calling it Narrative Propaganda (Narpro)?

You're seeing it wrong. You wouldn't have a argument if you were using Ami's numbers and types of crimes for what he was addressing for that time frame (2012-2016) It's perfectly relative to the point he's making about immigration/refugee influx being right in line with the increase. You misinterpreted his whole point. Man that Bra report is scary isn't it? It's even worse when you consider the way the government takes those stats without some of the most important information being documented. The data gets skewed to favor the foreigners for a reason I can only assume is to save face and embarrassment.

Unfortunately The Swedes just had another riot with groups of young foreign men committing arson at a shopping mall and attacking random people on the streets. This was less than 48 hrs ago and the only reporting of it was from Swedes witnessing it on social media.

It's a shitty situation, just like the housing problem they have to not even have room for the people there with more arriving everyday.
 
Lol at anyone defending CNN. It's 10x worse than Fox ever was at its worst.

He said murder. Murder is the strongest crime statistic there is, because the definition is constant and it's the most consistently reported. The numbers I gave go through to 2016 (last years numbers haven't been published yet). You can clearly see how he selectively picked 2012 and 2015 to "go up the down escalator". It's about as common a tactic in deliberately misinterpreting statistics as it gets.

Never trust crime statistics Ruprecht, you should see the shit SAPOL have tried to pull by manipulating them. Your second source doesn't show any data, just tells us what is supposedly true.

I took a criminology elective once and the moral of the story is that you can twist data to suit whatever narrative you'd like.

I admit I can't address your first link as it doesn't show properly on my shitty iPhone.

You can get the numbers directly from the BRA. It's the same numbers this guy says he is using. He chose the lowest point in the last 20 years and the highest point and described it as an 80% increase in murder which he attributed to immigration. That's a clear and deliberate misrepresentation of the numbers.
Murder statitistics certainly aren't the whole story, but they are about the only ones I consistently trust for international comparison.
 
CNN used their own camera man John Grkovic as a hillary supporter

even Don Lemon couldn't pretend to go along with the scam

 
Most mainstream news are parroting crap
 
As bad as Fox News. Yet the fakest news today going is White House press releases.
