6. Here's CNNs truth bias
"One clip showed Bush at a March rally in Orlando, Fla., standing at a lectern with several listeners behind him - among them, a boy in his early teens who could barely stay awake. While Bush spoke, the young man yawned, twisted his head and checked his watch.

Tuesday morning, CNN attempted to lighten its news mood by running the segment on its "CNN Live Today."

But then CNN host Daryn Kagan added: "We're being told by the White House that the kid, as funny as he was, was edited into that video, which would explain why the people around him weren't really reacting."

Later, during CNN's "Live From ...," anchor Kyra Phillips reran the tape but cautioned viewers: "We're told that the kid was there at that event, but not necessarily standing behind the president."
