Totally objective and professional CNN just couldn’t resist taking a swipe at Ted Cruz with regard to his amendment to the newest version of the Senate GOP’s health care plan:

What’s this “so-called” stuff about?
So-called? That's what it's called. https://t.co/PbMhMscXvg

For the record, Cruz is not impressed by CNN’s tweet:
Weird… my search for tweets from CNN mentioning the “so-called Affordable Care Act” turned up no results. https://t.co/fizqTwu9uy https://t.co/hT2GxI3pff

He’s right, you know:
Funny, that.

Yep.
For those wondering why people don't like CNN, this is one more example. There's no journalistic reason for them to add the "so-called" bit.

Some might argue that there’s no journalistic reason for CNN to do a lot of the things they do.
Yet plenty of references to "Affordable Care Act" w/out the so-called.Sometimes bias is so in your face it's amazing https://t.co/TUSRFY9iT7 https://t.co/UrGkI8vOKG

This stuff might seem small, but it adds up. This is how news organizations lose credibility with a lot of Americans. https://t.co/OrNy4y8kyj
