No, I do not see much fake breaking news on CNN, and certainly not to the extent as by MSNBC, offenses which are an order of magnitude higher than CNN (about 10 times higher).
MSNBC has been doing this for a couple years I have observed. I even wrote a similar critique as above and sent to a few MSNBC hosts to make 'constructive criticism', but my efforts were in vain, nothing changed. But, they do get thousands of emails daily etcetra, so what you do?
