Nunes Sues CNN!

Representative Devin Nunes, who allegedly co-chairs the House "Intel" Committee with Schiffty Schiff (even though it turns out Schiffty obtained and used Nunes' phone records from AT&T in his Shampeachment against President Trump) is suing CNN over false reporting about a visit to Vienna which never occurred. CNN is not alone in fake reporting, but in this case Nunes can demonstrate the specific lie, and, apparently, the damages it caused, as well as the fact that the lie was intentional in order to bolster the Shampeachment, which they have been cheerleading, and which Nunes has been offering valid opposition to. I hope he wins, as well as Nick Sandmann and his lawsuit against various media over the Covington Catholic kids' defamation, There is reporting what has occurred, opinionating on what has occurred, and there ought to be the freedom to do so. But there are limits to what are obvious and hurtful lies and untruths disguised as "reporting". I often use the Bing frontpage as a source for material here, but I am well aware of their bias and often point it out. But the average person just getting his/her news from opening a web browser and giving a cursory glance at the trending topics gets fed what BING wants them to see and to know. And the media companies back up their biased reportage with their entertainment fare, where characters regularly wink and mock at the idea of "fake news", while their news divisions actively engage in the practice.
