We just had to highlight this because of how many posts we’ve done on CNN’s “creative” chyrons; after all, this is the network that blessed with the chyron about those “fiery but mostly peaceful protests” in Kenosha. Expert Tom Nichols says it’s irresponsible for CNN to run the chyron, “Biden: Putin Cannot Remain in Power.” That would be referring to President Biden’s speech in Poland in which he said that Putin cannot remain in power:

But CNN’s chyron makes it seem like this is somehow a war aim:

It is. The President read his prepared remarks correctly. https://t.co/d0V5eYgeXQ

I don’t think Putin watches CNN.

But millions of Americans do. Is it a good idea to misinform them?
— Tom Nichols (@RadioFreeTom) March 26, 2022
Not really. CNN has gone whole weeks without breaking 1 million viewers.
What’s strange, though, is all of the Biden supporters are agreeing with him and are upset that the White House felt the need to walk back his words.
Your feelings are hurt by the true statement of the president.

Damn them for using his words!

I guess Biden shouldn’t have said it then

He literally said it

Wait – it’s irresponsible to quote the speeches and statements of the most powerful person on the planet?
— Reclaiming My Everything (@WhyIsKorisTaken) March 26, 2022
It’s a quote. Literally exactly what Biden said.

It's an exact quote

No, what’s irresponsible is what the guy you voted for said, not the fact that people are reporting it.

CNN is a terrible news source, but quoting a president is the opposite of irresponsible. Its nobody's fault but him that it's what has taken over the news cycle for ending his oral fluff piece that way, and a hell of a red herring from issues he doesn't want to talk about.

Biden has been making statements all week that seem like war aims.
