CNN looking to hire reporter who gets 'angry' at 'fake news'
The Washington Examiner ^ | January 19, 2017 | Eddie Scarry

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.

It was Kinko’s in Abilene, TX.

And the probable operative was Bill Burkett. (he denies it)

Re: post 15 - that is priceless. And it should be a bit more viral. If Nancy Sinatra agreed, she would certainly have said so.

Wherever you see CNN on a TV (airport, hospital, hotel, restaurant, waiting room) complain loudly to management and demand it be removed immediately, because it offends you and half the customers.

Well, it’s been a long time but I believe that Bill Burkett definitely supplied the forgeries he just denied making them.

What CNN really wants to know is why so many of us do not believe their propaganda.

Someone who gets angry at fake news working for CNN is like a pro-life activist who loves babies working at Planned Parenthood.

For “research purposes” the reporter will spend some years spreading fake news from CNN.

...AND...

CNN has speculated the demise of the inaugural party.

To paraphrase that little green guy (YODA): The SEDITION is strong with this one!

Jake Tapper has been spreading fake news all morning. I’m watching CNN (ugh) while taping FOX.

Tapper said the Obama has never said anything negative about Donald Trump and that Donald Trump has said nothing but negative things about Obama. He said that Obama has done everything to make the transition a smooth one. He added that DJT started the rumor that Obama was born in Africa.

So, Tapper has said NOTHING positive about DJT this morning. What a shame to bring up all his views on such a wonderful day. What a loser.
