CNN’s Jake Tapper caught retweeting far right propaganda site
CNN wants us to believe that it covers both sides fairly and honestly in politics. And sometimes that happens. But far too often, CNN’s hosts merely cover both sides as if they were exactly the same, in order to create the illusion that both sides are being covered with equal tenacity.
