14 Mostly Accurate CNN Headlines From The Last 6,000 Years Of Human History

Actually, inventing parody of CNN or MSNBC is pretty redundant. They are the nightly authors of really good stuff of their own

Babylon Bee


"CNN has been there from the beginning, always running toward the important stories and absolutely never covering them up. We went through CNN's archives and dug up these 14 headlines they published while covering some of the most significant events of human history. They are truly a bastion of truth and honesty in journalism.
2348 BC: Watery But Mostly Peaceful Flood Destroys Earth
1025 BC: David Circumcises 200 Philistines In Mostly Painless Medical Procedure
33 AD:     Mostly Peaceful Crowd Demands Jesus Be Crucified
79 AD:     Fiery But Mostly Dormant Mount Vesuvius Erupts

"Great job, CNN!"

Real information, not parody, relating to CNN headlines:
Ouch: CSPAN Caller Dunks on Brian Stelter and CNN Over Their Lies  . . . " 'You guys always talk about how many times Trump has lied. I've calculated that with your chyrons – you know, I don't know if there's any journalists left at CNN – but if I were to estimate, 300 different distortions or misinformation that we get out of CNN – and you have to watch it at the airport, which is harsh – but if you added all that up to 46 months, it comes out to be 300,000+ distortions of truth," the caller from Minnesota explained. 
"In particular, the caller took issue with how CNN and other mainstream news outlets, like The Washington Post, treated Nick Sandmann, the teenager who was defamed during last year's March for Life.

" 'So my thing here is that you guys, this is how low you'll go. It's that you went out and made lies and defamed a child and then you had to settle out of court, pay this child for distorting information about this young individual. I would say that if anything is happening at CNN and anybody who buys your book, it's really just one of those things that's dividing our nation," he said. "I don't believe in dividing our nation. It hurts our great nation, so CNN really is the enemy of the truth." . . .  Then Stelter blames it on "media-bashing"!

'You're nothing but a stooge': C-SPAN callers go all in on Brian Stelter and trash CNN as 'the enemy of the truth'  . .  . "Another caller poked fun at Stelter's appearance, calling him "Humpty Dumpty" and attacking CNN's credibility as a news network.
" 'There's a couple comments, one about their chyrons that they put underneath while people are watching things, like the other day they put on 'Fiery but mostly peaceful protests,'" said the caller. "Yeah, laugh there, Humpty Dumpty, we all know you're not reliable. You're nothing but a stooge.' " . . .
