CNN is pushing ahead with its campaign against "fake news," by hiring a reporter who will investigate "fake news" and figure out "why so many of us no longer believe" the truth.

CNN put out a job ad that says the reporter will work as part of CNN's media reporting team.

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.

"The reporter "should get angry every time they see any inaccuracy in any story."

Key operative word here is SHOULD. (An admission that this has not been the standard in the past.) In other words they are making the big step of finally reporting "the truth" and they are willing to hire someone who will recognize it when they see it?

Yes, true that.

But the lady that he described giving it to him did not hold water well either.

Like I said, I worked for the same company as him once. Prior to that scam.

I am thinking their fake news is not our fake news...

My version was still more real and accurate than theirs.

Of course. They never get anything right. It is because they are always covering for the first lie in the 2nd lie. Then it cascades and gets really crappy.
