REALLY!? CNN would investigate 'alt-left' but can't because it's a 'made-up term'

CNN’s doing some journalistic digging, and coming up with, well, nothing:

"The 'alt left' is not a thing. It's just an insult"

What is the 'alt-left'? Experts say it's a 'made-up term' https://t.co/MIhthff8EM

Made up?

Aren't… aren't all terms made up? https://t.co/DxrlPCH0FE

Every term is made up, CNN. Including "Cable News Network." What a made-up term that's turned out to be. https://t.co/qjkf8Qaiu4

.@CNN is also CNN's parody account. https://t.co/dp0mLG8QP1

Trump did mainstream Dems a favor, distinguishing loony communists as "alt-left". Apparently, @CNN isnt interested https://t.co/sOs93c6lkE pic.twitter.com/mfEXQ9KBDr

CNN’s dismissal of “alt-left” was found to just paint with a broader brush:

You heard it here first. When there's leftist violence , it's not the "alt-left". It's just the left. https://t.co/6mqAjUtxzm

CNN is exactly right here. Violence from Antifa is not alt-left; it's mainstream left. Cop hating from BLM is not alt-left; it's mainstream. https://t.co/6gso7CATMM

So it's just the regular left that's burning and looting cities, killing cops, and shooting at congressman? https://t.co/4es4e2XnKL

So we should all refer to these violent anarchists as 'the left'. Okay, got it.#CNNIsANTIFA https://t.co/ZSuwX0NHDs
