President Nicolás Maduro has expelled CNN after accusing the international news outlet of manipulating information about Venezuela.
Maduro said Sunday he wants CNN outside Venezuela after he claimed the news channel manipulated information about a students complaint regarding the lack of food at school.
Some media like CNN tried to manipulate information, he said. They can not manipulate information like that, its our affair, of Venezuelans. CNN does not need to put its nose in Venezuela
I want CNN well away from here.

CNN has a history of adjusting their reporting in response to pressure from local despots:
From 2003:
“In a shocking New York Times opinion piece, CNNs chief news executive Eason Jordan has admitted that for the past decade the network has systematically covered up stories of Iraqi atrocities. Reports of murder, torture, and planned assassinations were suppressed in order to maintain CNNs Baghdad bureau.”

The Spanish language CNN is a very different animal from the English parent. They have done some very good reporting, especially about the crisis in Venezuela. This expulsion is a very serious situation, not the usual fake news.
