WNU Editor: The CNN report yesterday was truly a stupid one .... CNN error extends run of journalistic mishaps (Politico). I can identify why the main stream media is screwing-up. Many in the media are writing stories that they sincerely want to believe and pray is true .... even when facts say otherwise. And while in the past these mistakes would have been covered up and/or ignored, in today's 24/7 web universe .... they are not. Hence the exposes of wrong reporting, and the subsequent apologies. And for someone like President Trump .... just more ammunition to call the main stream media "fake news".
