I'm embarrassed for America that CNN is based here.
But on the plus side, I think it's only a matter of time now before they completely collapse under the weight of their partisan fantasies.

The role of a news reporter is to "give us news". And, for the record, the role of the President of the United States is NOT to "give us news", it is to run the country and engage in foreign policy to protect the nation and its citizens. News has nothing to do with that role, wow....you are deluded and misinformed aren't you?
I do think that is the most ridiculous statement I've have seen here at ATS in a long time.
I know it is not the case with the current president, but the role of the president is to make sound and factual news, comments, whatever you want to split hairs and call it...what the president says creates news. So what he said should most likely not be straight up belligerent faux news.
Drumpf is getting by with this bc it's unprecedented and quite frankly, I don't think anyone really knows how to handle his belligerence but you my dear and all the other brainwashed trumpeters can twist, cherry-pick and deflect all you want. And I will point it out and laugh whenever I can 👍🏾

A CNN journalist retweeted a video that showed an edited video to make it look as though there was no handshake. The rather ridiculous 'OHMYGOD' schoolgirl tweet by a supposed journalist is obvious in it's intent.
And all he said was Ohmygod, over and over. That only implies shock, not intent on pushing a false narrative.
So, no, it's not my claim. CNN decided to spread this fake news and they have been caught once again.
Again, false. The Polish President does not reference CNN and CNN did not claim no handshake took place.
Like I said , CNN tried to spread fake news and the Polish President called out the fake news for what it was.
Like I sad, show me where CNN pushed fake news on this case. Simple request. Where did they say no handshake took place or where Cillizza claimed the First Lady would not shake Trump's hand.
I already did - fake news was posted on Twitter. A CNN journalist pushed it. Fake News comes in more forms than words. The President of Poland viewed it as fake news too.
Your obfuscating again.
Well, I would say that you are stretching it a bit, but that would be false. You are actually making # up.
Nothing fake was posted on twitter and CNN, nor any of it's employees, expressed or implied the First Lady did not shake Trump's hand.
You literally made up your own fake news.

I can understand that assessment. And I'm as dumbfounded as you that they wouldn't reel in their people a little more to be a bit more discerning on what they go public with
I'm not.
When companies of that size implode it is due to poor management/leadership. They need to make a change to restore order and what semblance of credibility they hope to retain.

CNN did not.
CillizzaCNN
Their journalist, their agent, meaning they did.
So if a journalist at Fox News was pushing a false narrative, that means the entire Fox News is pushing it?
Maybe you should drop your name.
Yes, if a FOX journalists pushes a fake news story and FOX is happy to let him do it then FOX is pushing the story.
Fox is just as bad as CNN. The entire corporate news media are guilty of pushing fake news narratives.

Oh yeah. Social media. Yeah. Yeah. That must means that the media is pushing a false narrative.

Your playing stupid now. You know he meant the video is a fake narrative, the oh my god was pushing that fake narrative. No time for people that pretend to be stupid. Goodbye
OMG only implies shock at her passing over the President's handshake, which did occur.
What you are others, like the OP, are doing is creating your own idea of what Cillizza's intent was.
This is fake news in and of itself. CNN did not say or do as implied.

No. We are not being obtuse. We see this as him laughing at something. You guys see this as him pushing a fake narrative. It's quite simple. Really. Apply Occam's razor to this.

No matter which side you're arguing for... ya'll gotta realize that you're being distracted and misdirected by a non-issue.
This idiotic topic is now HOT on ATS... surely you guys and gals can see what's going on here. I can't believe you are all bickering and arguing over this. It's pathetic.
Seriously... stop acting like sheep. Discourse and strife over non-issues among the peasants is exactly how they win.
You are ALL falling for it.

Just no. The President's job is not to give you news. Good lord.
Here is a summary of what your Constitution says is the President's job:
1) Is the Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces of the United States, and of each state’s militia when the nation has need of it
2) Has power to obtain information and opinions from heads of the executive departments
3) May grant pardons and reprieves for crimes against the United States
4) Makes treaties with other countries with the approval of the Senate
5) Appoints ambassadors, federal judges and heads of executive departments – all subject to the approval of the Senate; the President also has power to fill any vacancies that may happen while the Senate is in recess
6) Must report to Congress from time to time about the state of the union and recommend whatever measures he thinks are necessary
7) May call members of Congress together on extraordinary occasions, as well as adjourn their meetings when they cannot agree on their own about when to do this
8) Receives foreign ambassadors and other public officials
9) Is responsible for enforcing the nation’s laws
10) Issues commissions to all officers of the United States
He's not a journalist. In fact NOT giving you information is part of his job as Commander in Chief if such information puts citizens in danger. There is no requirement at all for him to give you news.

funny you believe the news to be fake unless it has to do with people of color

This kind of attempt to jump on a story to report it (or retweet it, in this case) before the story has a chance to be corroborated is a symptom of this strange need to get digs in against the president. Yeah -- he's an easy target, and he makes himself an easy target, but that still does not make it right.

It's actually worse, the reporter said he knew the story was fake and knew she shook his hand but retweeted it anyways because he thought it was funny.
