Donald Trump gave a post-acquittal victory presser today, and CNN is on it. They’re not about to let him get away with spreading fake news. Not on their watch!
It’s time for a fact check:

Here’s the scoop:
But who fact-checks the fact-checkers? Because someone really should:

CNN themselves had an article contradicting the claim in this so-called “fact check”:

Hey @ddale8,
Is it part of your job as a CNN fact checker to completely lie?

But there’s nothing to see here, guys. Because CNN has clarified their earlier BS scoop:
Fact check: Trump falsely claims Comey admitted to leaking to Grassley (Clarification: The headline of this post has been updated to make clear that is about what Comey said to Grassley.) https://t.co/sQbCm8ZBZG pic.twitter.com/UnB4oxs2Dz

It’s been fixed, y’all:
Too bad this “clarification” still makes CNN look ridiculous for hyperventilating over a minor detail. James Comey still admitting to leaking.
Do better, CNN. When the bar’s this low, that shouldn’t be difficult.
Hey @chucktodd, this that misleading right wing media stuff you talked about?
