@publicvoit 💯true
but this article, by its very existence does signal hope…
“CNN Chairman and CEO Mark Thompson pushed back in a statement Friday.
“We stand by our journalism,” Thompson said. “Politicians have an obvious motive for claiming that journalism which raises questions about their decisions is false. At CNN our only interest is in telling the truth to our audiences in the U.S. and around the world and no amount of political threats or insults is going to change that.”
