I don't watch CNN either. The newsworthy event that happened involved a CNN anchor, but it happened in a bar and not on CNN. It was reported by basically most news organizations, including being discussed here extensively.
So not watching CNN doesn't actually explain it. Not paying any attention to any news including FR would be closer.
Wayyell...I don’t read every news item everywhere, and that includes all the thousands of threads on FR.
But the Fredo thing did ring a bell after I was told who it referred to.
