As we told you last night, America’s media firefighters for truth were out in force to break the news that a video President Trump tweeted is not a real CNN clip:
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 19, 2020
Twitter even slapped a “manipulated media” tag on the video even though it’s abundantly obvious that it’s a joke. Meanwhile, CNN responded with a statement completely bereft of self-awareness:
CNN Torpedoes Trump: 'Be Better' and Stop 'Tweeting Fake Videos That Exploit Innocent Children' https://t.co/jKJrnAqXV4

CNN did cover this story – exactly as it happened. Just as we reported your positions on race (and poll numbers). We’ll continue working with facts rather than tweeting fake videos that exploit innocent children. We invite you to do the same. Be better. https://t.co/T1nBtejZta

CNN is talking about exploiting innocent children as if they literally didn't have to pay a settlement to a high schooler for smearing him as a racist https://t.co/0id4NTelig

"We'll continue working with facts" like when we smeared the students from Covington and got sued for it, or like when we pushed a fake conspiracy that the president was a traitor who colluded with Russia. https://t.co/3mOhtNxaT9
