Everybody knows President Obama lied to get Obamacare passed. PolitiFact even called “if you like your health care plan, you can keep it” the Lie of the Year.
So, with that in mind, we do wonder if Obamacare would have ever passed if CNN ran chyrons like this when Obama was spreading lies and stoking fear ahead of his midterm elections:

CNN is in denial, of course:
Haha, amazing. Also, I love how huffy CNN gets when anyone points this stuff out. It’s so obvious, and yet they are in denial

And we don’t think they get that many, many voters want to know why it’s only Republicans that get called out like this:
I get the argument that Trump does in fact lie. Then the follow up to that is when has this chyron been applied to Democrats, ever.

According to tweets we’ve seen, that chyron was up for quite some time, too:
