They get away with his because no one is calling out their advertisers in a way similar to how left wing operative groups call out advertisers of Fox News and similar to silence their opinions.
That's a really good point, but also illustrates the differences between conservatives and
progressives. Conservatives don't try to squash the ideas and speech of those with whom they disagree. That's almost exclusively a far-left tactic, using the isms to villainies any dissenters. Notice I didn't use the word liberal, because I remember when liberals still valued freedom of speech.
The irony is their viewership is in the tanks. Not even Don Lemon can resurrect their meteoric decline. Their advertizers will end up getting the hint one way or another. It just won't be because of a small but vociferous group of over-sensitive snowflakes threatening a boycott.
This is hardly the most dishonest thing CNN has done in the past couple of years, or even months. In March, they ~immidiately started
talking about healthcare at the public request of Nancy Pelosi.
Of course. They are
The Party's media sycophant. It's so blatant it's pathetic.
CNN's coverage is anti-Trump enough so their viewers (who watch because CNN is anti-Trump) don't care when they are caught fabricating a story, or otherwise being dishonest, and they wont bother to fact-check what CNN is saying.
Even the lemmings are having a harder and harder time arguing the blatant lies they've been spoon-fed. I see it on a daily basis; their eyes start glazing over when they force themselves to regurgitate The Party talking points. They know they're repeating lies, but they keep doing it to maintain denial of their failure.
