CNN Reporting 'Errors:' List of Twenty

The List Of CNN’s Bungled Reporting Is A Sight To Behold and only up to September 2018

1. Scaramucci Slip - In June of 2016 CNN claimed that former Trump adviser Anthony Scaramucci was under investigation by Congress for his alleged ties to Russia. CNN retracted it and apologized.
2. Trump Jr. Collusion - In Dec of 2017 CNN reported that Donald Trump Jr. received special access to documents stolen by WikiLeaks on Sept. 4, 2016. He actually was emailed about the documents on Sept. 14, 2016 — a day after they were already available to the general public.
3. 17 Intel Agencies Lie - During Congress hearing former Dir of Natl Intel James Clapper said that 3 intelligence agencies — the CIA, NSA and the FBI — concluded that Russia interfered with the 2016 election. Nonetheless, CNN repeatedly claimed that all 17 intelligence agencies came to the same conclusion about Russian meddling.
4. Comey Testimony Crumbles - On June 6, 2017, CNN reported that former FBI director James Comey would contradict Pres Trump’s claim that he was not under investigation. Comey actually ended up confirming Trump’s account.
5. Trump’s Fish Food - In Nov 2017 when Pres Trump met with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe the pair took part in a koi fish feeding ceremony. CNN showed Trump dumping his entire box of food into the koi pond unprompted; but an unedited video revealed that Trump was simply following the lead of Abe, who emptied his box of food first.
6. A Clean Bill Of Health - In May of 2017 when Republicans were authoring a new health care bill, CNN claimed that GOP changes to Obamacare could make rape and sexual assault pre-existing conditions. False!
7. Officer Cuomo - In Oct 2016 CNN anchor Chris Cuomo inexplicably said that possessing WikiLeaks stolen documents is “illegal,” but insisted it’s “different for the media.” The Washington Post reported that it’s not illegal to possess or distribute illegally obtained material so long as you were not involved in the original hack.
8. Just Tap It In - In Sept 2017 reported the FBI did wiretap Manafort in Trump Tower after they had originally denounced Trump’s claim in March of 2017 that Obama was wiretapping phones in Trump Tower as a “flat-out lie.”
9. Zeleny’s Folly - On Jul 31, 2018 CNN reporter Jeff Zeleny tweeted that Pres Trump had not taken questions from reporters in at least a week. Just one day prior Pres Trump answered questions during a joint news conference with the Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte.
10. Republicans Did (NOT) Fund The "Dossier" - The salacious and unverified Steele dossier was paid for by the Dem Natl Comm and Clinton campaign. Former Obama official and current CNN reporter Jim Sciutto claimed the dossier was “initially paid for by Republicans.” While Republicans bought standard opposition research from Fusion GPS, they stopped paying the firm well before it ever contracted with Christopher Steele to compile the anti-Trump dossier.
11. If You Build It, They Will Lie - CNN claimed that only Dem members of Congress gathered to pray before the 2017 Congressional Baseball Game — the first game after House Majority Whip Steve Scalise was shot and nearly killed. Pictures of the prayer circle clearly show both Democrats and Republicans praying together, and CNN eventually deleted their tweet claiming otherwise.
12. CNN Gets Hit With A Cruz Missile - After the school shooting in Parkland, Florida, CNN reporter Brian Stelter accused Republican congressmen of being “scared” to come on the network to debate gun control. Anchor Chris Cuomo specifically called out Texas Senator Ted Cruz for not rising to the challenge.  Sen. Cruz had done a 15 minute interview with CNN earlier that same day.
13. Silly Stelter! - CNN Brian Stelter accused the Repub Natl Comm of “misquoting” him in an ad attacking the credibility of Michael Wolff’s book “Fire and Fury.” He said: “Real factual errors … makes you wonder about the overall content.” Stelter did utter those words and deleted his tweet and admitted: “I stand corrected: I thought this RNC ad misquoted me, but the quote came from a @CNNI TV hit.”
14. These Boots Were Made For Correctin’ - In Jan 2017 Nancy Sinatra made a quick joke about her late father’s song, “My Way,” being used at Trump’s Inauguration. CNN spun her tweet into an article claiming she was “not happy” about Trump using her father’s song at the Inauguration.  She said, “That’s not true. I never said that. Why do you lie, CNN? What a rotten spin to put on a harmless joke.”
15. School Shooting Slip-Up - After a shooting at Santa Fe High School in Texas, CNN reporters claimed that there were 22 school shootings on the year; wildly exaggerating the number of school shootings by using methodology that includes accidental firearm discharges on school property, domestic disputes, and other non-active shooter events. For example, one listed shooting at Savannah State University in Georgia involved just two people, neither of whom were students.
16. Where’s Melania? - Multiple CNN reporters speculated about the whereabouts of Melania Trump after a scheduled kidney surgery and then denied responsibility for any resulting conspiracy theories. While Stelter blamed random internet commenters for conspiracy theories about plastic surgery or a move back to NYC, CNN repeated such theories in an article and even asked Melania’s spokesperson to comment on them.
17. Fake News About Fake News - CNN cited a study from the Oxford Internet Institute to claim that fake news targeted swing states during the 2016 presidential election. However, the study says nothing of the sort; Twitter users didn’t receive nearly as much “fake news” as CNN initially claimed to readers.
18. Trump (Not) Ignorant About Japanese Cars - CNN Money’s Daniel Shane accused Pres Trump of not knowing that Japan makes cars in the US, however when reading his full remarks — which Shane left out — it's clear that the president was making a joke and knows that Japanese manufacturers make cars in the U.S. Shane ended up issuing a correction on his article.
19. Hands Up, Fake News - A CNN panel consisting of Margaret Hoover, Sally Kohn, Sunny Hostin and Mel Robbins displayed the “hands up, don’t shoot” gesture in 2014 while talking about marches against police violence. The gesture seemed to be a reference to the fatal police shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri. While initial reports speculated that Brown had his hands up when he was shot by Darren Wilson, the DOJ concluded in a report in 2015 - physical and forensic evidence showed Brown’s hands could not have been above his waist.
20. Peace Be With You - CNN deceptively edited a video of Sherelle Smith and Kimberly Neal, the sisters of an unarmed black man who was shot by police. They claimed the two sisters were “calling for peace” amidst riots in their neighborhood. However, in a longer video, Sherelle says, “Y’all burning down s—t we need in our community. Take that s—t to the suburbs. Burn that s—t down. We need our s—t. We need our weaves. I don’t wear it. But we need it.” CNN removed the portion of their report about Sherelle and owned up to their error.
