Hoax. Fake News in Action: CNN Didn’t Air Porn As Reported

[ABX]

The media fell for another fake news site.

One of the most shocking headlines of the day, may not be true. In fact it’s not, the story was widely reported that CNN aired a transgender porn movie instead of “Parts Unknown” starring Anthony Bourdain. It appears the entire thing was an elaborate hoax.

Fake news has been the focus of many outlets attempting to explain the election of Donald Trump. The media has chosen to blame said “fake news” outlets, instead of examining their own role. We shouldn’t be surprised that someone was able to pull this one off.....

CNN apologized for something that didn't happen that they never had control over anyway?

These type of pranks/mix-ups/whatever happen more often than one might think. Even if it had happened, CNN had nothing to do with it; it's the cable headend.

Of course, CNN is one of the alt-right's biggest targets, so that means the fake rumors are going to start coming against them, just as they did throughout the general, just as they did against Ted Cruz, etc., etc...
