CNN has at their website a straight news story about South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem’s executive orders on transgender athletes competing in women’s sports that contains a section that has caused a lot of double-takes:
From CNN (blanket statement, no source/quote): "It's not possible to know a person's gender identity at birth, and there is no consensus criteria for assigning sex at birth."

It’s real, and it’s spectacular:
I didn’t think this could possibly be real, but there it is, dropped into a theoretically straight-news piece, as if CNN has discovered a truth unknown for all of human history https://t.co/LVw91ZFKVo https://t.co/3jyZIOsRq1 pic.twitter.com/csxEBjxK7q

We live in a literal clown world where the elites pretend not to know what it means to be a man or a woman. The only way to maintain your sanity is to reject this absolute nonsense everywhere you see it. https://t.co/pCWzVpC3zn

@ChrisCillizza rmemeber how you’ve spent the last year wishing government would follow science? You work for a tabloid dumpster fire. But hey, a new 3 yr contract! https://t.co/1l6GJXXR3X

The only fact gleaned from this is that @CNN is a dumpster fire https://t.co/FY3OrVP1Zm

Mollie Hemingway has an assignment for CNN’s “science” geniuses:
Remember when the propaganda outlet CNN ran an ad campaign about "facts" called "this is an apple, this is a banana"? Maybe they should work on "this is a penis, this is a vagina." https://t.co/RiaQYM8es8
