CNN says they don’t lie, ignoring three lies in a day: Anderson Cooper, Chris Cillizza and digital ratings
CNN’s communications team attempted to attack President Trump and critics about their blatant lies, stating in a new press statement that “CNN does not lie.”
Sadly, there were/are three fibs within just 24 hours.
CNN’s Communications tweeted after multiple reports accused the network of lying about a major story on former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen, and Cohen’s lawyer, Lanny Davis.
So what happened next…
CNN’s Anderson Cooper lied about a tweet from Donald Trump Jr.
Trump Jr. tweeted out a photo of Cooper standing in a flooded area from Hurricane Ike, which happened 10 years ago.
“Donny Jr. was claiming it showed me in Florence faking the depths of flood waters in order to somehow harm his father,” Cooper said. “And I quote from his tweet ‘stop lying to try to make @realDonaldTrump look bad.'”
Cooper’s statement was a blatant lie as Trump Jr. never mentioned anything about any hurricane and the article that he shared mocked CNN’s drastic decline in ratings.
