As Part Of Settlement With Nick Sandmann, CNN Hosts Must Wear MAGA Hats During All Broadcasts
Babylon Bee ^ | 7/8/20

ATLANTA, GA—According to a report, as part of the settlement with Nick Sandmann, CNN hosts will be required to wear MAGA hats throughout every broadcast.

"Let the punishment fit the crime," counsel for Sandmann said as Don Lemon, Chris Cuomo, Anderson Cooper, and Wolf Blitzer all solemnly donned Make America Great Again caps.

Hosts were seen with downcast expressions as they commented on the day's events, MAGA hats in place.

Sandmann says the hosts will be forced to wear the hats until they've learned their lesson, which could take a while. "Just be careful you don't make an expression some could construe as 'smug.' Wouldn't want you to get punched or your lives to get ruined, or anything like that."

CNN hosts must also finish every broadcast by saying, "Good night, and I am a big, fat dummy, while Trump is the best president we've ever had."

Brian Stelter requested an exemption and was allowed to wear a clown nose instead, as usual.

KEYWORDS: babylonbee; cnn; cryracism; fakenews; nicksandmann; parody; satire
If only it were true. That would be more devastating to CNN than the monetary payout! Marc Dice's impersonation of Brian Stelter cracks me up every time!

The headline alone was hilarious.

Never reading the article, as the headline preempts them...

I would have thought an apology and a retraction of their earlier reporting portraying him as the agitator would have been in order.

I don't watch cable, but I don't think it was "their earlier reporting" so much as 24/7 denouncing and defamation of Sandmann.

They’d just wear the caps backward.

All joking aside I believe ‘stocks’ in the town square for various crimes would be appropriate. With a free basket Of overripe fruits and vegetables available for any who wants to chuck them at the perp.

“CNN Hosts Must Wear MAGA Hats During All Broadcasts”

It would boost their ratings...at least for a while. Hell, I’d watch CNN if this was true.

Oh, if only that were true! I don’t think it would’ve been out of line for Lin Wood to have made that a part of the settlement. So funny!!

LOL! You’re probably right. They actually fact-checked the image of PDJT putting a medal on Conan The Dog.

For some reason they don’t understand the humour. Maybe because it’s more truthful than they are. :)

CNN has lost all credibility as

a news organization.

Apparently accuracy, credibility and

the truth are not what their remaining

viewers are interested in seeing.

Snopes probably already did.

Heck, I’m still waiting for the crazy cat lady who runs Snopes to debunk the “hands up don’t shoot” narrative. Even Politifact of all places had the intellectual honesty to give that their highest pants on fire rating.
