Broad Disagreements Over Whether CNN is Fake News
What do you think — is CNN fake news? Take the AllSides poll below.

Content: Law enforcement reported 7,175 hate crimes to the FBI in 2017, up from 6,121 in 2016. Although the numbers increased over the year, so did the number of law enforcement agencies reporting hate crime data — with 1,000 additional agencies contributing information. Both Left media outlets ( CNN, Vox) and Right media outlets ( National Review, The Resurgent) omitted the fact that more agencies were reporting in order to either present a view that hate crimes were on the rise (Left outlets) or to present a view that reports of increasing hate crimes were overblown and only a small percentage of Americans experience hate crimes each year (Right outlets). 4. Fake news as poor choices about what should be news. This type of fake news refers to journalism that covers stories that don’t deserve to be news, or journalism that ignores stories that should be big news. Examples: Media Research Center (Right media bias) said that mainstream media outlets provided six times more coverage for a story about a white supremacist endorsing Trump while downplaying a story about the Taliban-supporting father of a terrorist endorsing Hillary Clinton. In January 2019, Media Matters for America (Left media bias) said Fox News’ top three prime-time shows and its flagship morning program, Fox & Friends, ignored a report that President Donald Trump “sat down with Vladimir Putin for several minutes of conversation at the end of an evening event at the G20 summit in Buenos Aires in November, with no translator or note-taker from the US side to record the dialogue.” Media Matters said Left-biased sources MSNBC and CNN “both spent significant time discussing the report.”
