CNN does alot of attack pieces on what they claim to be "fake news" especially infowars and similar platforms and discredit competitive alternative press a whole through misrepresentation along with the lobbying (both direct and indirect) to other 3rd party platforms such as youtube and twitter to censor and ban what they claim to be "fake news."
Now, even if this so called "fake news" is in fact fake news, to me all news should be untouched and uncensored protected by the 1st Amendment. Ultimately, I still would support CNN's right to call for whatever they want to all for, thats their right.... and I also support the right for 3rd party platforms to take content down without government interference. Problem is lobby is in bed with government and there are various forms of collusion involved with the press including various unconstitutional policies from Operation Mockingbird up to Obama's expansion of it and who knows what has been expanded during Dump's time (no necessarily directly from him.) There is alot of cooperation and coordination with government and big news agencies such as CNN, MSNBC and FOX in various ways....not to say infowars also isnt, I dunno for sure Im not totally naive.
So anyways I wanna cut that short, but my point is in my very own opinion CNN has no issue attacking the press because in my own books they arent even the press. And lets say my opinion is off and CNN technically is the press, they have no problem regulating the 1st Amendment to their advantage for their own personal gain to route out their competition and control the narrative to their own biases whatever that may be.
Hope that makes sense in some way.
