February. False story about Carson dropping out. Their own "fact checker" lied about it.

August. CNN edits footage of sister of man shot by Milwaukee police to make it sound like she was calling for peace. She was calling for riots in white cities.

November. Random street interview? Nope, their own cameraman. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QSfS2u-SmoI

Repeatedly and continually edits/mistates Trump remarks, not just on Muslims and Mexicans.

Repeatedly libels Assange with false statements about his charges.

"hands up don't shoot" never happened.

The list goes on and on, and your second question is irrelevant.

It's totally relevant to the conversation we were having about 538. You should answer it.

You asked for examples, I gave you examples and you disappeared.

My original post made an analogy about CNN. It has very little / nothing to do with 538. There, second question answered.
