Arguing with Trump Surrogate, Chris Cuomo Echoes CNN’s Lame “Apple, Banana” Ad
FinkelBlog ^ | Mark Finkelstein

CNN recently rolled out an ad implying that President Trump tries to tell the American people that an apple is a banana, but that CNN is dedicated to “facts first.” The ad has been met with ridicule, as in the Daily Caller parody seen in this article.

You’d think that any self-respecting journalist would run from the ad. But there was good CNN soldier Chris Cuomo echoing it on his show today. Arguing with Trump surrogate Jason Miller regarding the reliability of polls during the 2016 election, Cuomo said, “it’s apples and bananas, my friend.”

Guess we’ve got to give Cuomo credit for not bursting into tears. ;-)

That CNN runs ads proclaiming they’re not fake enforces the idea they are.

I was going to say, isn’t the proper saying “apples and oranges?” CNN couldn’t even get that right.

Someone posted a video showing the CNN Apple/Banana ad, then replaced the word apple with man and banana with woman.
