Sorry, but I do not think that anything coming out of CNN is trustworthy.
Yep, once they lie to you, everything after that can’t be believed

Many long decades ago my father once told me not to lie. He explained that if in my whole life I tell the truth and then just one time tell someone a lie that from that moment on I will be known to him as a liar. Lying is not worth whatever you think you are hiding.
