CNN Is being mocked over this headline stating, “more than a trillion bytes of data related to the indicted Russian individuals and companies’ use of social media to influence the 2016 presidential election”:

And defense lawyers are accusing the prosecution of a “data dump”:

But CNN could have picked a better headline for that, right?
