By now, Twitchy readers are very familiar with Matt Walsh’s ‘What Is A Woman’ documentary and the firestorm that ensued when it was announced that The Daily Wire had made a deal with Elon Musk’s Twitter to broadcast it on the platform for 24 hours (a timeframe since amended to the rest of this weekend).
In a completely unsurprising move, CNN decided to characterize the film as ‘anti-trans’ that might be ‘potentially harmful content’:

Way to do a journalism, CNN.
Well, it IS harmful to the anti-science, child-mutilating cult.
Is that what they meant?

Well, yes, but they can’t just come right out and say THAT.
Plenty of folks called CNN out on what was really going on:
AKA "its going to poke holes in our narrative push"

Cnn is total garbage and narrative driven. Only harm from that movie is towards the narrative. SMH media needs to do better

They sure do, but they probably won’t.
The best part?
Twitter CEO Elon Musk chimed in with this absolute zinger:
I’m tempted to say that this will drive viewership of your movie, but … no one watches CNN lol
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) June 2, 2023
Harsh, but fair. And absolutely hysterical.
Well if CNN warns people against it, I’m all for it.

Agreed.
