CNN doesn’t report the news, the lie and shape the narrative to fit their view on the world, mostly leftist activism.
CNN’s role is to provide the launchpad for the MSM narrative. There may only be 12 people watching but that does not matter. AP and CNN are starting points and it’s no coincidence they are the worst of the rat spinners.
As Dan Bongino always says, they are telling a Story not The Story.
