They stopped reporting news. It doesn't even resemble what it used to be way back in the day when I first started watching them. This was a network that was cutting edge and had no-nonsense anchors who were objective. The only holdover from that once-great period, Wolf Blitzer (who, 27 years ago, was a field reporter for the network), has gone off the deep end.

Even when that channel is on at restaurants, I would just turn my seat the other way. No way I'm watching that network ever again.

You know things are bad when CNN has been caught lying more than Alex Jones.

CNN corrects their fake news again
Good, although most people understand the difference between a 'prediction' and 'fake news'. I guess the OP is one who does not.

I thought we settled the crystal ball predictions already and there was a massive product recall because of it.

I'll repeat what I wrote on another similar thread:

Retractions are what reputable news organizations do.

The problem with conservatives is that they are now so inculcated in the ways of right-wing media, like Breitbart, InfoWars, World News Daily and numerous fake news sites, that they have forgotten how real news organizations act.

In the world of24/7 news cycles mistakes will happen. I have news for right-wing critics: news organizations are made of people and people occasionally make mistakes.

We could have only one government sanctioned newspaper or TV station, but we wouldn't have a free republic then, would we.

Any news organization that is willing to correct itself has got something going for it ...

Hey OP, how old are you? News outlets have been doing this for as long time.

No they weren't.

They pulled a lot of the same fake crap back then, it is just that back then the amount of people online and the accessible nature of smart phones wasn't available to catch them in the act as much.

CNN has corrected a Tuesday report after the release of former FBI Director James Comey's opening statement for his Thursday testimony in front of the Senate Intelligence Committee contradicted the report's sources.

CNN issues correction after Comey statement contradicts reporting | TheHill
Isn't that what a legit news cite does? If incorrect, they 'correct' the record?

From my experience, the 'fake' news sites never 'correct' themselves.

Indeed, you reinforce my reliance on 'traditional' news sources.
