Laura Ingraham Rips CNN For ‘Sloppy Reporting’: ‘Sometimes It’s Not Fake News, It’s Just Wrong News’

 

On Friday night, Laura Ingraham slammed CNN for their botched report on Donald Trump Jr.

‘Sometime it’s not fake news; it’s just wrong news,” Ingraham began.

Earlier that morning, CNN reported that during the election, WikiLeaks gave Don Jr. accesses to hacked DNC emails before they were made public. That report turned out to be inaccurate and was corrected in the afternoon.

The Fox News host said that the error left CNN “once again with fried egg on its face.”

She then listed some of the media’s mistakes, from the false ABC News report that alleged that then-candidate Donald Trump ordered Gen. Michael Flynn to contact Russia during the election to The New York Times redacting much of its report on K.T. McFarland allegedly lying to Congress about Flynn’s contacts with Russia.

Ingraham called this a “wild week” for journalists given the “mistakes, and the fact-checking, and the sloppy reporting.”

“It always see the mistakes going one way,” Ingraham told her panel. “I mean, they always seem to go against Trump. They never seem to be, ‘Wow, the economy seems to be doing better’ or ‘[Robert] Mueller hasn’t found anything yet’… so I think it hurts the media’s credibility.”

She later reacted to Trump’s remarks he gave at a rally mocking the recent instances of botched reporting.

“I think that the media- they get their back up when he says stuff like this, but it actually works,” Ingraham said.  “I think most people- they’re fed up with a bunch of things: Washington, they’re sick of lawyers and they’re tired of the media. And I think it plays right into what most people think, which is the media is pretty biased and biased towards the left wing.”
