CNN is known for spreading fake news. Who could ever forget the “fiery but peaceful protests” chyron they had to try to downplay the violence of the BLM riots?
We have to give them credit for being correct when it came down to Joe Biden’s big speech in Poland. His team heralded the remarks as a landmark speech and iconic, à la Ronald Reagan at the Berlin Wall.
Here’s what the liberal talking points were supposed to be — as the WaPo’s Jen Rubin and the liberal weasel Alexander Vindman confirm.
Biden gives a speech that is reminiscent of those delivered at the Brandenburg Gate by JFK or Reagan. He spoke in a public square. His delivery is quite strong.

This speech was historic. @POTUS. Like Kennedy’s Berlin Speech, this is the one Biden will be remembered for. Biden laid down a marker that the US will defend its allies & democracy. I’m proud of my POTUS & his powerful leadership during a climactic battle for democracy.

All the discussion is instead about how yet again the White House needs to tidy up after Biden’s wrongdoing. Biden’s comment that the U.S. desired regime change against Vladimir Putin was another reason why things got out of control. That played right into Putin’s hands since Putin has been pushing this isn’t about him invading Ukraine but is in truth a war with the United States who are trying to do him in.
We have to hand it to CNN — this time they were brutally accurate about what Biden said and put in their chyron, “Biden: Putin cannot remain in power.” Biden said “For god’s sake, this man this man cannot remain in power,” but he was referring to Putin. We can now say that CNN is right on the money for once.
Never Trumper Tom Nichols was upset by this, as he had the most absurd take on the topic. Although to be fair, there were so many bad Never Trump/liberal takes, that’s a tough call.
This is irresponsible. This makes it appear that this is some kind of war goal. pic.twitter.com/nHwlseLjmv

“This is irresponsible,” Nichols said. “This chyron makes it seem like this is somehow a war aim.”
So it’s irresponsible to quote Biden now. That’s where we’re at with the effort to carry water for Biden’s mistakes. No, Tom, it isn’t CNN who is being irresponsible here, it’s Joe Biden and frankly, the people like you who helped to put such a compromised person in the office, not caring about how it opened the door to the radical left to push their agenda and not caring how badly Biden might harm America with the incompetence that he’s shown throughout his entire life. Tom’s mad that — for once — CNN didn’t clean it up or spin it for Biden (at least not in this instance). That’s the real problem, according to Tom, that CNN didn’t do their liberal duty to cover for him here. But it is funny that liberals are upset with CNN for telling the truth — they’re so used to them not doing so, it’s a real mind bend for them.
However, millions of Americans already do. Are they being misinformed?

There are no worries, CNN is not watched by anyone.
Imagine being upset more with the chyron that the man holding the highest office of the land.
