CNN is not real news; it’s news fed through the filter of opinion; it’s spun news. Ditto for Fox News, and Breitbart, and a lot of MSNBC.
Real news is unedited, unfiltered news, unconcerned with sponsors or ad revenue or ruffling feathers, and totally absent of opinion or spin or hyperbole or agenda.
“Fake” news is nothing but false conspiracy news, and is mostly found on deliberate fake news web sites.
Don’t confuse slanted news, deliberate out-of-context quotes, or perpetuated hyperbole as all “fake news.”
But, question everything. Trust no one.
