Seriously CNN?! You couldn’t have picked a worse day than today to go argue with President Trump on Twitter
It all started last week after CNN retracted a #FakeNews story on possible Trump/Russia collusion.

On Monday, three CNN employees– Thomas Frank, Eric Lichtblau and Lex Haris–resigned over it. Then Tuesday morning, Project Veritas released a new undercover video, exposing CNN. CNN producer John Bonifield actually told PV’s undercover journalist that the network only obsesses over Russia for the ratings.
President Trump is loving it. And you know what? I don’t blame him.
Fake News CNN is looking at big management changes now that they got caught falsely pushing their phony Russian stories. Ratings way down!

CNN just posted it's most-watched second quarter in history. Those are the facts.

And CNN producer John Bonifield said that’s all due to the network chasing the FAKE Russia story. FACTS?! Oh really, CNN?
CNN knowingly promotes false stories for ratings. Those are ALSO the facts.
You just got caught with a producer calling real journalism adorable and that you know the Russia thing is fake but run it for ratings.

You did not realize that you just admitted your fabrication of #fakenews, for sake of ratings. Unbelievable!

I can’t even take CNN serious anymore and you certainly can’t make this kind of stuff up.
