Nothing ever broadcast on CNN is worthy of belief. Always corroborate their reports with 2nd and 3rd sources, as they have squandered any credibility they may ever have had. So, when they admit something, it is just as suspect as their false narrative of Anti American propaganda. When pressed, they will deny the obvious. Veracity is not their province.
One must corroborate CNNs use of nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, pronouns, prepositions, conjunctions, interjections, numerals, articles, and determiners !
