CNN Gets BUSTED Once Again For Spreading Fake News

Brian Karem of CNN was caught red-handed spreading fake news on Tuesday.

The fake news story came about after Karem posted a tweet regarding the media conference from President Trump.

Karem tweeted,

“POTUS holds up what appears to be a blank piece of paper claiming it contains the Mexican deal. Refuses to answer when I ask him to show us.”

According to Fox News,

While taking questions from reporters, Trump waved what he said was the written agreement recently made between the U.S. and Mexico that is meant to address the migration crisis.

Karem, however, shared a video and suggested that the sheet of paper the president held was “blank.”

“POTUS holds up what appears to be a blank piece of paper claiming it contains the Mexican deal. Refuses to answer when I ask him to show us,” Karem tweeted.

However, Washington Post photographer Jabin Botsford captured an image of the folded piece of paper, which shows texts visible likely due to the sunlight. It is unclear what the text was.

Karem’s tweet was widely-criticized on social media, some calling it “garbage.”

He was later forced to “update his tweet to reflect the truth.

“Updating: not blank. And some intrepid photogs were able to partially decipher what he waved about.”

Later, Peter J. Hasson actually shared a photograph originally tweeted by Jabin Botsford who is a photographer with The Washington Post, of the piece of paper that the President was holding, along with the following in his tweet,

“the Government of Mexico will take all necessary steps under domestic law to bring the agreement into force with a view to ensuring that the agreement will enter into force within 45 days.” agreement. Second photo flipped

Botsford even said that the President spoke for about 20 minutes and pulled out the document multiple times.
