"But we are reality-based."
"This is a woman."

Considering the numerous mistakes and misleading stories CNN has produced over the past several years, you’d think that they’d be a tad less sanctimonious.
The first ad in CNN’s “Facts First” initiative features nothing but an apple with a voiceover lecturing you about the need to embrace facts. “This is an apple,” an amiable man tells us. “Some people might try to tell you that it’s a banana. They might scream banana, banana, banana, over and over and over again. They might put BANANA in all caps. You might even start to believe that this is a banana. But it’s not. This is an apple.”
This reflects the smug and didactic disposition of many in a political media that treats a vocation as if it were a religious crusade. Considering the numerous mistakes and misleading stories CNN has produced over the past several years, you’d think that they’d be a tad less sanctimonious.

This ad... so sad.
It almost, almost, but doesn’t, make me feel sorry for CNN.
The comments here are hilarious.
Here is another funny thread... twitter comments..
“HA! Dana Loesch puts CNN in a lib-style headlock over ‘apples & bananas’ lecture “
” But what if it’s an apple that identifies as a banana. pic.twitter.com/0UoPJSxbTQ “

” @CNN did you just assume that an apple can’t identify as a banana? Who are you to decide what is right for every fruit? #Bigots https://t.co/VksULPmWRf “

this is bruce jenner.
people may call him an her over and over and over again.
Has anyone told CNN that the APPLE IS FAKE? It's not a real apple! Them talking about bananas is a diversion!
Ok, so what would CNN say if some guy in their studio claimed to be a girl? Yeah, that’s what I thought...
bkmrk
And these are the same people who don’t know the difference between a boy and a girl.
Do they have to be hit over the head to see the irony of their stupid statements? Hey folks - a man is a man and a woman is a woman no matter how many times you try to convince us otherwise! It has to be painful to be so stupid. Do they take pain pills for that?
Is that Candy Crowley in the picture? Is she still around?
OW - that hurts. They will tell you it’s YOU who doesn’t know the difference. You just haven’t been brought up to date since the last time you saw one or the other. It just can’t be taken for granted that the woman you saw yesterday is a woman today....GADS!
I don’t why everyone is so down on CNN’s new ad. It’s very convincing. I’m now believe it’s possible that CNN might be “The Most Trusted Name in News About Fruit” ...
Good point. I’m now ready to consider using CNN as my primary fruit identification cable new provider.
Will there be regular twitter or instagram fruit photo submittal procedures so they can use a couple hours of their broadcast day to provide this valuable service to viewers?
