Washington Examiner

CNN was ripped online Tuesday after a top editor for the left-leaning network announced the creation of a special CNN team dedicated to “covering misinformation.”

“I’m hiring 3 people for a new CNN team dedicated to covering misinformation,” CNN Business Managing Editor Alex Koppelman posted to Twitter.

“What do we mean by covering misinformation? Really it’s about covering reality: The uses, abuses, and distortions of it, the people twisting it, and the effect that has on all of us. We already do a lot of important work on this; we want to do more,” the post read.

To cover misinformation, CNN is looking for reporters who want to jump down every rabbit hole and hold liars accountable, Koppelman wrote.
