So acting like she was calling for peace wasn't fake? Also, why are you talking about how it's an emotionally charged setting? Changes nothing about what CNN did. Did they get so emotional they just plain forgot how the clip ended?
It's emotional for the girl who lost her brother, but she wasn't editing the article.
Breitbart specifically lied about what happened at that incident, correct? I know the police came and said it didn't happen the way Breitbart said. Well, CNN specifically lied about what this girl said, or rather they lied about what her intentions were. They knew she wasn't calling for peace and made it seem that way anyways and only fixed it when called on it.
I know you're aware of the issues we've had and have in America with the police shooting black people and the civil unrest that can spurn up. Was it dishonest of CNN? Yes. Is it comparable to what Breitbart did? No. Like comparing an assault as being the same as a shoplift because they're both crimes.
The Breitbart story is the fake news as it was fabricated from the ground up and it was to spread hatred and fear.

Okay so Breitbarts entire story was fake news. But then shouldn't you be saying at least part of that CNN story was fake news? They lied, flat out, they fabricated her intentions. It was the exact opposite of what she was doing.
Also nobody said civil unrest can or can't spurn up. What is being said is that doesn't justify what CNN did. If they were afraid of causing unrest they shouldn't have shown anything with her. But no, instead of showing people the reality of the situation they bullshit us.

Fake, no. It's misleading and they probably did so to not further more violence.
They shouldn't have shown her at all if they didn't want to incite further violence. They felt the need to lie.
You see because misrepresenting a clip that was already easily available online in its entirety is of course the best way to prevent further violence.
Do you feel a news organization with integrity would do what CNN did?
But continue to condemn CNN and not giving a shit that Breitbart did a factually fake story for the purpose of spreading hatred, fear and possible violence. Cos reasons.
Do you see the games you play? Then you wonder why you get "attacked". It's unreal. Suddenly this has now become a contest over which shitty network is more shitty? We were discussing Trump vs CNN at his press conference. You cited the Breitbart thing as an example of fake news, I wasn't aware I was now required to bash them as well.
My mistake, so let me get the apparently required denouncing out of the way; what Breitbart did is wrong and if it lead to anyone being harmed it is shameful.
It doesn't change my views on CNN though. You have basically always acted like Breitbart is the bottom of the barrel when it comes to news sites, but now the argument is "well, Breitbart is shittier" ? That has to be the argument, because if you were merely citing an example of fake news and it was nothing more, you wouldn't be trying to guilt me into bashing Breitbart.
First three lines of your post amounts to crying. Moving on.
False. I don't wonder why you attack me, you do so when I #trigger you with the truth. There are other reasons, but that's the main one.
You're saying that now to try and save face.
No, that's not the argument. I used the Breitbart story as an example of what actual fake news is. Just as I'd use a picture of a Toyota Camry to show you what a car is if you were rambling about a Suzuki Hayabusa being a car. #ExplainingThingsToSurtur

You pull the same triggered BS whenever I point out the truth about you, but then you try to claim you are the one who gets me with the truth? Okay.
You'd do your "no you" thing if I had pulled this on you.

So then why are you whining about Breitbart? The topic we were discussing wasn't Breitbart, you provided an example. I said it was a fully fake news story, I said I felt one part of what CNN did was.
But that to you amounted to "not giving a shit" about what Breitbart does. But you yourself said it was nothing but an example you used.
