CNN Apologizes For Using Fake Congressman’s Quote On Mitch McConnell’s Health: ‘Obviously We Should Not Have Done That’

CNN issued an on-air mea culpa on Thursday morning after admitting the network fell for a post by a parody account of a Republican congressman who said he had spoken to ailing Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY).

For crying out loud, fact checking is rule #1. CNN should pay their anchors less and their fact checkers more.

The USPS announced in April that the price increases, effective Sunday, July 12, were intended to support its finances and that mailing services product prices would overall be raised by about 4.8%.

Norm Eisen, attorney for former Olympian David Hern: "Today, Davey Hern pled not guilty — because he is not guilty. If Mr. Hearn can be charged with a felony for touching the reflecting pool, every American is at risk and every American should be alarmed at this prosecution."
