The tweet was deleted, but we have a screenshot:

The account that posted the fake photo defended it, saying “the message is the prominent idea here, not the celbrity”:

Just an FYI from the OP, yes it's photoshopped, you'd have to be braindead to think otherwise. The message is the prominent idea here, not the celebrity.

And the message here is CNN journos have no issue sharing fake photos when it suits *their* message.
