Congratulations, CNN. Your work here is done. Celebrated mouthpiece and serial narrative regurgitator Jimmy Kimmel is spreading your bogus school shooting stats like the B.S. that they are:
The US has had 57 times as many school shootings as the other major industrialized nations combined @CNN https://t.co/uSUSUZNG4T

Except no they haven’t, Jimmy.
You better retract this tweet, you imbecile. https://t.co/0omo00FFHw

And admit he’s a liar? Fat chance.
Every single fact-check has proven these numbers to be completely false. This goes beyond activism, it's pure dishonesty.
You're using explicitly different methodologies for other countries and the U.S.
Even Politifact has repeatedly denounced the U.S. stat as false. https://t.co/UGkMuOUXng

It's beyond insane that a news network keeps promoting this level of dishonesty on this topic.

Here is a dissection of how CNN is coming up with their numbers for 2018: https://t.co/v2ihEsUnzp
Of course there is 0 chance they even could use the same methodology for other countries.

But Jimmy doesn’t care. He’s a man on a mission … to deceive.

This has been debunked OVERWHELMINGLY. Why are you people so willfully ignorant?

Because facts are hard, but ignorance is bliss. For Kimmel, the choice is a no-brainer.
