The reporter "should get angry every time they see any inaccuracy in any story, whether large or small, and whether published by a fake news site or a real one," the ad says.

Said reporter, if located and hired by CNN, would have a heart attack the first day on the job.

What this shows is that the [ooga booga] MSM no longer has any teeth. Trust and belief lost can’t really ever be regained. Understand that MSM.

I bet they could hire this guy pretty cheap now that he's doing podcasts out of his parents' basement. He's pretty good at getting angry for the camera. And since CNN defines "fake news" as conservative news, he'll know what to investigate.
