CNN posted a map full of apples and bananas.
How this network can look at itself in the mirror is a mystery to us because wow, talk about a blatantly biased and shameful attempt at headline rage. They know their readers will look at the stupid headline and run screeching off into social media claiming 22 school shootings for the year.
Sorta like what Ana Navarro did earlier.
Look at this crap:
Including today’s shooting incident at a Texas high school, this year there have already been 22 school shootings where someone was hurt or killed. That averages out to more than 1 shooting a week. https://t.co/DL1wCUAipq pic.twitter.com/Qsw0WlLlJv

CNN has zero shame.
Seriously.
If you take the time go through their list you see a bunch of things that really shouldn’t qualify as a school shooting, not to mention adults being involved who are not students. The melodramatic headline leads one to believe it was all shootings like what we’ve seen in Parkland and Santa Fe.
This isn't just unhelpful, it's intentionally dishonest.
This list includes a "shooting" with a BB gun, an accidental discharge during a safety class, a shooting at an apartment building that happens to be on campus, at least 3 other shootings were at dorms etc. etc. https://t.co/s9l63RbZaR

It’s really bad.
Of course every shooting is bad, but this is very counterproductive if you're trying to inform the public about a specific trend. It's also the reason why many (wrongly) assume that school shooting have become prevalent and it encourages copycats to want to join the trend.

They’re not trying to inform the public though, they’re just trying to rile their base up for traffic.
And to AG’s point, this is very dangerous.

It’s never stopped them before.
#Fakenews CNN at it again.

At least they’re consistent in their fake news.
Never let the facts get in the way of a good political argument. Almost as outrageous as Diane Feinstein‘s commercial claiming over 500 school shootings in the last several years. Probably same source as this tweet.

It’s what they do best.
