According to TwitterAudit.com, nearly fifty percent of the followers on CNN’s verified Twitter account are fake.
Of CNN’s millions of followers on their verified Twitter account, over 17 million or 48 percent are fake, according to TwitterAudit.
According to TwitterAudit, the site determines the quality and score of real and fake followers by taking “a sample of up to 5000 (or more, if you subscribe to Pro) Twitter followers for a user and calculates a score for each follower. This score is based on number of tweets, date of the last tweet, and ratio of followers to friends.”
TwitterAudit states that these results are not definitive but do provide insight into whether or not a Twitter account gained followers through illegitimate means: “We use these scores to determine whether any given user is real or fake. Of course, this scoring method is not perfect but it is a good way to tell if someone with lots of followers is likely to have increased their follower count by inorganic, fraudulent, or dishonest means.”

Maybe they are not “fake”. Maybe they are Democrat voters?
They’re not fake. There pining for the fjords.
CNN = Fake News. Fake Viewers. Fake Followers.
And the hits keep coming for CNN! Hahaha.
It's not pining, it's passed on! It is no more! It has ceased to be! It's expired and gone to meet it's maker! It's scurried down the curtain and joined the choir invisible!
By that criteria, my Twitter account is fake. I only subscribe to a few Twitter feeds such as @RealDonaldTrump, @ScottAdamsSays, and @SarahPalinUSA.
I never tweet, and I have one robo-follower.
I hate CNN and everything they “stand” for. Viscerally. Scummy liars,all.
The quicker they die, the quicker we can MAGA!
Never seen anything like them. They take lying to the nth degree.
Was listening to Tom Sullivan today. What an effen squish! Told his listeners that “everybody makes mistakes”. I was like, no. The fake news put out by CNN is no mistake. It’s deliberate and they deserve to reap all they sow.
They are probably counting all the people who are forced to watch CNN when they are waiting for their plane to a drive at the airport.
I have a twitter account and have sent one tweet about 3 years ago. By their scoring, I’m a fake account.
