I love that they started to fact check the president, but the very stupid choice to use CNN basically means that shot themselves in the foot...

It was a pure act of arrogance. They might have a plan, but they probably don't. A mistake like this will cost them.

Perhaps they did it to antagonize him. CNN is probably Trump's least favorite news outlet.

Besides, all news outlets post a bunch of BS under the cover of "analysis", "opinion", and "op-ed" pieces. Those are all carefully crafted to engage a target audience. NYT does it. WAPO does it. CNN. They are all running outrage factories just producing slightly different flavors..
