CNN's PR Team Eats Crow After Claiming That CNN Doesn't Lie

1. On Monday night, CNN's Anderson Cooper lied about a tweet from Donald Trump Jr.

Trump Jr. tweeted out a photo of Cooper standing in a flooded area from Hurricane Ike, which happened 10 years ago.

"Donny Jr. was claiming it showed me in Florence faking the depths of flood waters in order to somehow harm his father," Cooper said. "And I quote from his tweet 'stop lying to try to make @realDonaldTrump look bad.'"

Cooper's statement was a blatant lie as Trump Jr. never mentioned anything about any hurricane and the article that he shared mocked CNN's drastic decline in ratings.


2. CNN's Communications team falsely claimed that CNN Digital is #1 "in all key metrics"

In a tweet, CNN claimed that the network was "#1 Digital News Brand in All Key Metrics"

This is completely false.

According to statistics from comScore, Fox News beat CNN in total page views and in total minutes spent on the site for the month of August


3. CNN's Chris Cillizza lied about Trump remarks on Tuesday

CNN's Chris Cillizza told a blatant lie on Tuesday, claiming that President Trump told the FBI to ignore the allegation against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

What Trump actually said: "I don’t think the FBI should be involved because they don’t want to be involved, if they wanted to be I would certainly do that. As you say, this is not really their thing. The Senators will do a good job."

New York Times Edits Article Claiming Kavanaugh’s Friend Said He Remembered The Alleged Incident

One possible witness is a friend of Judge Kavanaugh’s, Mark Judge, who Dr. Blasey said was in the room with Judge Kavanaugh when the assault occurred. Mr. Judge had told the Judiciary Committee that he does remember the episode and has nothing more to say, seemingly foreclosing the possibility of an additional witness interview, at least for now.

Became:

Another potential witness, Mark Judge, a friend of Judge Kavanaugh’s who Dr. Blasey said was in the room when the assault occurred, told the Judiciary Committee he does not remember it. “I never saw Brett act in the manner Dr. Ford describes,” he said in a statement sent by his lawyers, adding that “I do not wish to speak publicly” about the matter.
