Re: The press is the enemy
Certain Canadians hold CNN up as the gold standard of journalism but the truth is that CNN hates America just like the Canadians.
CNN is FAKE news. The home of disinformation.
Will the Canadians condemn CNN or will they deflect?

CNN's long history of pushing disinformation, here are five examples
One false story by the network led CNN to give a massive payout to Covington Catholic student Nick Sandmann
CNN's Brian Stelter, who frequently warns about the dangers of "disinformation" and accuses others of circulating it, was called out by a college freshman during a recent liberal conference at the University of Chicago for his network's long history of pushing false or misleading stories.
"With mainstream corporate journalists becoming little more than apologists and cheerleaders for the regime, is it time to finally declare that the canon of journalistic ethics is dead or no longer operative?" Christopher Phillips asked the "Reliable Sources" host. The college student also asked why "mistakes" by CNN all tend to favor Democrats and work against Republicans.
Stelter didn't address the substance of the questions asked by the student. Instead, he called claims of liberal bias a "popular right-wing talking point." CNN sounds the alarm about the dangers of disinformation, but has also been a purveyor of disinformation themselves.
"That bothered you," Gupta said, grinning.
"It should bother you too," Rogan shot back. "They're lying at your network about people taking human drugs versus drugs for veterinary."
"Calling it a ‘horse dewormer’ is not the most flattering thing, I get that," Gupta conceded.
"It's a lie," Rogan pushed back. "It's a lie on a news network … and it's a lie that they're conscious of. It's not a mistake. They're unfavorably framing it as veterinary medicine."
OBAMA BLASTED FOR ‘SELF-SERVING’ ‘REVISIONIST’ RUSSIA COMMENTS DURING CONFERENCE ON DISINFORMATION
Rogan pointed to the "snarky" statement released by the FDA saying, "You are not a horse. You are not a cow," in order to encourage people to not take Ivermectin and also referenced multiple CNN hosts, including Brian Stelter and Anderson Cooper, who portrayed the drug as medicine for "livestock" and "horses," rather than a multifaceted drug for both human and animal ailments.
"Why would they lie and say that's horse dewormer?" Rogan asked. "I can afford people medicine, motherf---er. It's ridiculous! It's just a lie! Don't you think that a lie like that is dangerous on a news network when you know that they know they're lying? … Do you think that that's a problem that your news network lies?"
Rogan pressed Gupta, ""Does it bother you that the network you work for out and out lied, just outright lied about me taking horse dewormer?"
Gupta eventually admitted CNN’s coverage was misleading.
Even after being called out for peddling misinformation, CNN remained defiant, claiming in a statement, "The only thing CNN did wrong here was bruise the ego of a popular podcaster who pushed dangerous conspiracy theories and risked the lives of millions of people in doing so."
Although Ivermectin is not proven to effectively treat COVID-19, it is a drug that has frequently been prescribed to humans by doctors.
Jussie Smollett
CNN helped promote Jussie Smollett’s since-discredited 2019 claim that he was attacked by two MAGA hat-wearing Trump supporters at 2 a.m. during the polar vortex in Chicago.
CNN was all in with Smollett’s side of the tale, putting an emphasis on support he received from "Hollywood A-listers" and "political heavyweights," such as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
"The circumstances are just horrific," anchor Jim Sciutto said on the day after the alleged attack.
A few days later, a guest on CNN’s "State of the Union" declared Smollett was "viciously beaten, and we know it was a hate crime."
CNN host Don Lemon told his viewers at the time that the story was "personal" since he and Smollett had been acquaintances and were in constant communication since the alleged incident.
