CNN Incorrectly States Only Dems Prayed At Congressional Baseball Game

AMBER ATHEY


1:48 PM 06/16/2017


CNN was called out for fake news when they incorrectly tweeted that only Democratic congressmen gathered for a prayer before Thursday’s Congressional Baseball Game.

The CNN Politics account tweeted out a photo with the caption, “Members of the Democratic team gather on the field for a prayer before the Congressional Baseball Game.”

However, as Fox News pointed out, members of both teams actually gathered for the prayer.

Shaking my head @CNN & @CNNPolitics. They really did this. They lie like this with a purpose. #CongressionalBaseballGamepic.twitter.com/3duycYw7qx

CNN appears to have deleted their initial tweet but they didn’t issue a correction until 8:39 AM EDT Friday, at least half a day later.

Technically that isn't a lie or fake news. But believe what you want. I am sitting here looking out my office window. To the southwest it appears that it is raining very hard. But at my office it is dry and to the northwest it is actually partly sunny. If I tweeted it is "not raining" would that be a lie? It isn't at my office but clearly is a few miles out. So my statement would be true. It just doesn't paint an accurate picture

The tweet, "Members of the Democratic team gather on the field for a prayer before the Congressional Baseball Game” is 100% true. It just doesn't paint the entire picture as apparently republicans participated as well.

So what is your point or motive? You seem to have lost any objectivity you once had.....

I think the better question is what is CNN's motive? They were the ones that provided the highly inaccurate report. Shouldn't they simply report the facts and let the people decide.

In your example, shouldn't CNN report that it appears to be raining hard in the southwest but it is dry at one location and party sunny to the northwest.

CNN has been caught so many times in bad reporting and at some point (that point has been reached), you have to question their motives.

He never had objectivity. He's either paid for this bs, or he's lost it. Trump syndrome

The corrupt media simply provide a target rich environment. It's like shooting fish in a barrel.
