One can hope the public thrashing that CNN got from the president-elect Trump in his first news conference is a sign of things to come.
If outing, confronting and publically shaming, across the board, all the fake news networks like CNN is going to be the policy of the incoming American president, more power to him.
This election cycle in America should be a big warning sign to all the news outlets to change their ways and shapeup, otherwise, due to increasingly falling readership/viewers, soon or later they’ll have to ship out and close shop.
It is sad to see journalists have gotten comfy with slanting news to suit their own personal, or their corporate opinion, wrapped in news.
Chief among these fake news outlets is CNN, a network which has no shame in becoming a platform for fake news and outright lies.
Take a looksy at this piece of misinformation about a criminal on Interpol watch-list on CNN's site, not a single “editor’s” note about the author’s background as an accused accomplice in terrorism, nor, any facts about the lies he spews.
Lets hope in undoing the eight disastrous years of Obama presidency, the incoming president will use his bully pulpit to bring back the traditional journalism, that is, to be the public’s eyes and ears to keep the powerful in line, not to suck up to them and be their public relations outlets.
Sanction works, U.S. Senate, get to it.
Picture above; the assassination of Iranian dissidents in a Berlin restaurant by the Islamist fascists-“reformers” and all- assassins, who according to German investigation and court proceedings, were facilitated and got their weapons from the embassy where the author of this CNN piece was its ambassador.
Well Said ...
See I don't always disagree with You Fred Jan !

Darius;
I’ve said this before; after so many years, I’ve come to know that we’ve the very same goal and general idea how to get there, on the minor details we digress. This sort of disagreement(s) are healthy.
اختلاف خلق از نام اوفتاد
چون بمعنی رفت آرام اوفتاد
I'm not a fan of CNN or any other U.S. based news agencies for that matter but as you know well, trying to pass an Op-Ed article written by an ex-Iranian diplomat (whom whether we like it or not is still a free man, living in the U. S. of A!) as real news is an act of deception to the nth degree. I didn't think it was possible but somehow you found a way to hit new lows. Congratulations!!
For someone who pilfers other people’s writings, without attribution passing them as his own, talking about new low is very rich.
Nevertheless, keep on trucking.
You lost me! What are you talking about? Where is your evidence?
