Your facts are true (the woman was misleading the CNN reporter)... your characterization less so (typical hyperbole, actually):
No outside fact-checker reported on the woman's status (as NOT the mother of the children in the video)... the ACTUAL mother contacted CNN, and CNN published a complete clarification: (here, if you want to read it). Further, the woman in the interview often cares for those actual children (they are her boyfriend's kids, although they do not LIVE with her)... and she IS facing eviction...
Misleading, and factually unsound? yes. A SCAM (intentionally defrauding people)? not so much...
I'm no fan of CNN - and I think it shows a lack of judgement editorially that they published (and broadcast) this story without proper vetting.
But again, your hyperbolic inflation of the actual facts and failure to look at your own facts (is it a surprise that Charlie Kirk didn't include the fact that CNN "broke the story" that the story was in need of clarification? NO!) severely degrades the validity of your REAL proposition: CNN was easily deceived and was editorially lazy.... and it is a pattern (honestly, it's a pattern at FOX too!)

The only thing of mine is the sentence below the link. The title is from the video.
As always, you defend liberals while trying to pretend you aren't a liberal.

I defend truth - whether it is in support of Liberal or Conservative causes... TRUTH is apolitical.
I also DETEST spin! Which is why I hold CNN, FOX, and most other cable-news outlets in such LOW regard. They LIVE on spin. They also LIVE on hyperbole - like the Tabloids of old...
The HEADLINE is "Trump admits to sexual battery" - and only deep in the story, and after doing additional digging do you realize it's just Trump bragging to a reporter about the liberties some women afford to celebrities...
Alternatively, the HEADLINE is "Pelosi hates Capitol Cops" - and only when you look deep into the story do you realize it's just that she voted against one bill in favor of another - in support of the Capitol-Hill PD.
They do it because it drives ratings. Sadly, too many of their "viewers" have the attention span of a gnat (or less), and don't look beyond the headlines.
The fact that you re-post false and misleading data (stories) and I call you on it doesn't make me a liberal or a conservative... it makes me critical of your ability to provide any information in this realm without applying hyperbole, falsehoods, misleading claims, and outright deception.
As I've said multiple times: I agree (more often than you think) with the underlying claim you make (like that policing in western culture is out-of-hand) - but I do not agree that making up facts, or grossly exaggerating stories in any way helps spread that message... indeed, I think those "tactics" actually detract from the "believability" of your message, weakening your overall argument.
When you scream "FIRE!" every time someone lights a match, your alarms when there is an actual, significant fire will fall on deaf ears.
The fact that those lit matches really were fire notwithstanding. -
The same truth that allows you to use mental gymnastics to defend liberal policies at every turn while keeping your extreme TDS.
Where was your indignation about all the blatantly fake "news" stories by your beloved liberal media? I don't remember you speaking out against CNN and Chris Cuomo faking him being on his death bed with C-19, only to be caught out fighting with a cyclist because Chris had to jog in the bicycle lane, because he's special.
I don't remember you saying anything when CNN was caught faking the protest in London, thanks to the local businesses filming them faking it.
You don't like conservative "spin" but you are silent on liberal lies.

You are a moron:
- I said months ago that Gov "Kiss me" Cuomo in NY was in trouble, and while I could not care less about how CNN covered it, they did - and in the days BEFORE his resignation, they highlighted other DEMS asking him to resign and lambasted his stipid and ill-advised responses and counter-claims.
- I said months ago that Biden's wild-ass spending would spur inflation like we haven't seen since the 1970s - and its starting, and CNN (again, only because they're your own personal whipping-boy) seems to be agreeing: see for yourself
Mind you, I didn't say that Cuomo was the worst Governor since George Wallace - just that he was an abuser and that his personal behavior was going to cost him his position. I also didn't make shit up, like claiming he repeatedly RAPED these women, or that he ENSLAVED them for his sexual games... no, just the facts: women made claims that he kissed them and groped them without clear consent, and that he TRIED to gain their consent to go further and failed.... but given the power imbalance, even his unwelcome touching and kissing was too much - and in the me-too world, it was enough to get him out. (Mind you: he was just following in the footsteps of his heroes: JFK was a serial molester, and we all know about BFClinton & his attraction to interns!)
While we're at it, ALL of the MSM is after Biden for this Afghanistan thing - most are likening it to the Vietnam pullout!
Doesn't that run counter to your claim that they basically suck his dick because he's a liberal?
