We had a debate here on SM about a month ago on whether CNN is left leaning or centrist. Most of us were saying left leaning and some of us were also saying they are anti-gun. My argument was that most of these networks give opinions now rather then facts.
CNN not only gives opinions to push a narrative but now they are actively taking facts and distorting them into something that is purposely deceitful.
The latest proof of this is the narrative that CNN is repeating over and over. "There have been 22 school shootings in 2018."
Now we can all agree that any school shooting is a horrible thing and should never happen. Even 1 is too many. But take a look at what fake news does with facts. They know exactly what most people think of when they think of a "school shooting" and they know most people won't bother to research the facts. So they bullshit with numbers to create bigger headlines and push a false narrative.
Here is what CNN defines as a “school shooting”:
A student shot another student with a BB gun in Gloversville Middle School.
A teacher accidentally discharged a gun during a public safety class at Seaside High School, injuring a student.
One person was hospitalized after a shooting at an apartment building on the campus of the University of South Alabama.
Two people were shot to death at a dormitory on the campus of Central Michigan University. The victims were not students and police think the incident stemmed from a domestic situation.
A person was shot in a rec center at Mississippi Valley State University. Police said the person was not a student and the injury was not life-threatening.
A fight led to a shooting in the parking lot of Lincoln High School, fatally wounding a 32-year-old man.
