“THIS… Is CNN.” “CNN: Facts First.” “The Most Trusted Name in News.” Ridiculously inaccurate mottos of a “news” outlet rocked by scandal, resignations, and high-profiles firings, and whose ratings have swirled down the toilet at least as fast as those of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.
Why, it’s “almost” like, despite promises from CNN’s new head honcho Chris Licht to be more newsworthy — honest, accurate, and unbiased — CNN continues to purposely shoot itself in its lying left foot. Such was the case on Friday, when the network ran a story about the entire police force of Kenly, North Carolina, resigned, citing “a hostile work environment” as the reason, after a new town manager was hired.
Fox News reported accurately the news using this headline The New Town Manager has hired the entire North Carolina Police Department.
And, CNN? Never let a good (self-created) opportunity go to waste — particularly, a race-baiting opportunity. It is that, America, should be CNN’s motto. Here’s how the network of Brian Stelter, Don Lemon, and Anderson headlined the news: After a Black woman was appointed as town manager, the entire North Carolina police force resigned..
Only one problem.
As Mark Hemingway, senior writer at RealClear Investigations and husband of Fox news contributor Mollie Hemingway noted, the town’s previous city manager was also black, a fact that CNN didn’t bother to mention until Paragraph 17.This is its racist hit piece. “Totally irresponsible journalism designed to create discord,” Hemingway correctly noted.

As reported by Fox, Police Chief Josh Gibson, his entire force, and other town officials submitted mass-resignation letters, citing stress, a hostile work environment, and an inability to continue the department’s long-term betterment projects. Chief Gibson was sorry for the changes in his department.
Gibson sent the following letter to Justine Jones as a thank you note:
Over my 21 years with the Kenly Police Department we’ve seen many highs and lows. We have seen significant progress in the past 3 years. This is something we hoped for. I don’t believe that progress can be made due to the difficult work environment in Kenly.
G.W. Strong Strong went one step further and said he was concerned for his safety.
This is a difficult decision that I have to make. It has been a pleasure working with Kenly since 2004, and I fully expect to complete my law enforcement career.
These decisions jeopardize our safety and leave us wondering what the future holds.
As CNN finally reported — again, in the 17th paragraph:
Other members of the community believe that there is no racial element to the current situation. Black men were the former town managers. Also, some residentsBe careful not to jump to any conclusions, saying they’ve Always had good relations with the police department.
Jones, who was employed in June, was an incidental addition. Kenly firedThe town boasted that the city had been established nearly eight years ago in a press release.
Let’s check in with CNN’s Brian Stelter for a— wait — never mind.
CNN. CNN. BustedNews: Name.
