They (CNN) have been inaccurately characterized as fake news by former President Trump and many of his supporters
As usual you completely ignored the multiple failed fact checks, the fact that CNN mostly covered President Trump negatively and also covered Mitt Romney negatively, and the "mixed" factual accuracy rating all spoken of by Media Bias Fact Check and zeroed in on the small section of text that agreed with your opinion.
The fact of the matter is that CNN is not a reliable news network at all. Even their own employees (not just Van Jones with the nothing burger (which actually has a real meaning if you had cared to look it up [1])) have stated they have engaged in propaganda.
Once again the secret recordings prove they were Biden's propaganda corps. Here is a Daily Mail article showing the requisite statements made in the secret recording about how CNN was integral in getting Biden into the White House:
'Look what we did, we got Trump out. I am 100 percent going to say it, and I 100 percent believe that if it wasn't for CNN, I don't know that Trump would have got voted out,' Chester said in the video. 'I came to CNN because I wanted to be a part of that.' [2]
And:
'[Trump's] hand was shaking or whatever, I think. We brought in so many medical people to tell a story that was all speculation -- that he was neurologically damaged, and he was losing it. He's unfit to - you know, whatever,'
'We were creating a story there that we didn't know anything about. That's what - I think that's propaganda,' [2]
And:
Chester apparently mishears and responds: 'Your news health?'
'What? No, I said Biden, our president,' she replies.
'Oh, his health,' says Chester.
'I want to take care of him and make sure he's okay,' she continues.
'He is definitely - the whole thing of him running during the entire - like run for the campaign. Showing him jogging is obviously deflection of his age and they're trying to make it like, 'Oh, I'm healthy,' Chester said.
The woman responded: 'Is that what we did? I don't know. Like what do you mean?'
'We would always show shots of him [Biden] jogging and that [he's] healthy, you know, and him in aviator shades. Like you paint him as a young geriatric,' Chester said. [2]
This was CNN's technical director saying CNN engaged in propaganda for Biden and against Trump. It was reported on by news outlets around the world. This isn't fake news. Look, you can continue believing propaganda all you like, it is your right as an American citizen, but the fact is CNN staffers know they're making propaganda. Calling people idiots over it isn't going to make the truth go away.
You also completely dropped the secret recordings of CNN employees blatantly stating that CNN's last objective was to "get Trump out of office" and to now focus on selling "climate change" because they can "milk that issue" for years.
If a company has a sole objective to get a Republican president out of office and then goes on to go out of their way to paint him in a negative light, and they also have failed numerous fact checks, then that is hardly a legitimate news source, right?
Fox News isn't much better. This isn't the point. The real point here is you are absolutely blinded by your party loyalty to the point you willfully ignore facts and then call other people idiots because they live in reality.
