The American people (well, most) are smart enough to recognize CNN's agenda. This is the price CNN pays for its many YEARS of slanted reporting. When you compromise your independence and objectivity, you have no credibility when you try to present something as independent new reporting. It is easily branded as FAKE NEWS regardless if its fake or not.
It is nobody's fault except CNN's.
Don't be kind. It hasn't been slanted reporting - it's PROPOGANDA! That's all they've been from the start, a wholly owned subsidiary of the global Left. (Im)pure and simple.
