Will cnn take the tack that the best evidence of what fake news is, is a fake documentary?

The democrats are putting a full court press on to get the maximum effect from their b.s. impeachment.
I’m praying for our President & hoping right will prevail.
This is far & away the most dispicable, surreal thing I’ve seen in my young 64 years.
The hate they have for PFJT permeates every pore of their being & every cell of their diseased brains.

Will they go back to Yellow Journalism?
Evangelina Cosio y Cisneros was a huge lie that got the US involved in a war.

Stelter, maybe you had better change employers before doing your fake news documentary?

This should a success for CNN; they have all the material they need right in house and can cite many, many examples when they went off the rails and deliberately tried to misguide us. Remember when Stetler had Creepy Porn Lawyer Avenatti on his show and actually tried to endorse him in his run for President? You just can't make this up.

What CNN calls fake news and what the readers of Lucianne call fake news are exact opposite.

To get back at the Babylon Bee for trouncing them in Fake News viewership, CNN decided to try its hand at satire. Good luck. Maybe if they got Fozzie Bear to do his "Waka Waka Waka" bit for the show...

The Irony (if I am using the correct word here) is simply breathtaking.
The Fountainhead of Fake News doing a 'documentary' on 'Fake News'.

You can bet that they will be talking about "fake news" like Breitbart, Fox, and OAN - not one word about the actual Fake News put out by WashComPost, NYT, LAT, CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, and PBS.

Another attempt at redefinition by exhibition. That is, as others have already said, this will be an attempt to make us think that real news is actually the fake stuff by putting on an exhibition in the form of a "mockumentary".

Who could be more insightful about 'fake news' than one of the leading producers of fake news? (And, conversely, on what topic could CNN offer more first-hand knowledge than fake news?)

You cannot make this up. Will they be talking about CNN's big money payout because of their promotion of fake news?

Stelter thinks "Irony" is an adjective like "Silvery", only more rust-colored. Pity the poor schlubs at the Babylon Bee and the Onion who are busting their butts trying to outdo this guy, but he's out of their league! His very existence is effortlessly hysterically funny!

Great, we get a fake documentary about fake news by the most trusted name in fake news, CNN.
Can't wait to watch this extraordinary piece of "journalism" . . . (s/o)
