But at the CNN headquarters in Atlanta, they don’t seem to be believing their own reports:

If you’re keeping score at home, update the talking points to “walls are bad unless they help guard media buildings”:

If CNN was really interested in a solution, they would have built bridges instead of walls in order to understand the feelings of the rioters that vandalized their property https://t.co/aFs3zFdWy7
