    I don’t doubt it one bit that you don’t get it.
    Many are brainwashed by the libbie media.
    Hell, last week swampbabe told the board that CNN wasn’t liberal media at all!

    Watch the video. Of all of the verbs that could be used to describe Trump's reaction to the sound of gunfire and being grazed by a bullet .... "fell" is a pretty lousy selection. In fact, the entire headline is pretty inaccurate. So, was it done intentionally or just out of a lack of objectivity and intelligence? Neither reason looks good for CNN; they should do much better.

    He didn't exactly fall. The secret service agents did their job, surrounded him, took him down, and got on top of him to protect him. Once they got the all clear, then they rushed him off the stage and got him the hell out of there.

    No matter what you say about CNN it has never settled a defamation lawsuit for close to $800 million like another network that also has "news" in its name. CNN is far more credible than the other network and even MSNBC which does lean hard to the left has never had to enter into a settlement for defamation like the said network.

    Yes it was. Added an adjective to that you omitted.
    This was an assassination attempt on former president Trump's life.

    Stop posting media reports from immediately after the attack, before anyone knew what had happened. They were trying to be responsible until they knew what happened.

    "So, was it done intentionally or just out of a lack of objectivity and intelligence?"

    Neither. They were being responsible as the reports started coming in. They quickly changed their headlines.
