i know that a lot of people might consider leveling an accusation like that against cnn to be beyond the pale.
they're the most trusted name in news, after all. we know that because they tell us every five minutes.
but, get fucking real - they're absolute trash, and they've been absolute trash for years. they've been racebaiting every chance they can get for decades. not only would i not put it past them, i'd expect it of them.
