'Inaccuracies' There's also the raging urgency that Trump invented, to compel schools to quickly open with in-school instruction These actions have multiplied our death toll. With no plan or funding to stem the spread A Clear and Present Danger.. Not a cost/benefit analysis.

Can the victims of this virus sue him?

Good for you great journalisming there...but you do Level 1 fact checking. Level 2 goes 'wait. He's technically correct' once you look into the details. I know it's hard....

Jerk can't help it; he doesn't have a clue about what's going on. They only way he and his are protected, is they stay at the White House! Twit.

How does 45, get away with misinformation? My mother 81 not a trump fan even thought virus doesn’t live in hot weather GEEZ

I don't listen to him anyway I have no time for liars just got to John Hopkins or the Mayo Clinic online he knows nothing

CNN is only trying to obstruct and disrupt the administration's initiatives. Instead of informing Peoples. CNN is an activist CONSPIRACY channel.

Funny so have you 🤔

CNN misinfoms the public constantly. Liars & Jesus says all liars go into the lake of fire. REPENT SINNERS!

That's what they always look for inaccuracies, lies, and anything f negative from white house

It's was a shame that someone like President Trump can be inaccurate meaning that,no one is perfect

He's been misinforming the public since he started his career.

So is this anyway helpful

THE EMPEROR HAS NO CLOTHES.

Thank you for sharing

You get paid for this? How many untruths has cnn told....

Everything u have said is false CNN..each and every line..check the facts...

CNN will probably soon start disputing the Bible. Listing the (so called) lies. That’s the kind of idiots they are.

If this is accurate, I'm not at all surprised. We are talking about Trump. 🙄😏

What about number 29, “you get the corona virus from drinking beer from Mexico”.

Scum CNN

CNN is the enemy of the American people!

And this helps how?

The only misinformation is spread by the lying C rooked N ews N 🖕

Anyone with a brain can see your fake news comedy show operates from a position of unhinged hatred toward President Trump. Just stop.

I hope Trump closes our borders. The only reason the virus is here is bc people can visit China and bring it back.

Of course he has!

Oh Trumpians are so funny. Their dear leader gets called out for his BS, and they project towards CNN. Yeah but, yeah but...CNN, Obama, Clinton. Sorry, your dude lies...a lot.

30,000 people died last year of the flu . The media loves to make stuff up and it's criminal ,they just make more Americans go a vote straight Republican we need to flush these networks. CNN is a freaking joke !!!!!!!!!!

He's not comfortable taking unless he's talking about making money & playing golf

CNN, FakeNews central, pretending it knows what it’s talking about.

I just checked trump news network aka fox. First headline Clinton.... How dare CNN talk about a virus that trump said is contained and will “just disappear”. We are so tired of trumps B.S. Open your eyes trumpys and face the truth. He only cares about power,not the people.

Should we remind everyone of 's misinformation yesterday?! Pretty sure you're 'fake news!' MAGA realDonaldTrump

anybody, including the media, who takes scientific or medical advice from a political office holder deserves the ridicule they are due

joevardon You are FAKE NEWS! Which is why no body believes you guys!!

Frecklish1 yea and msm including mislead the world over everything else. Oh the irony!!

radleybalko You guys do realize that if this gets really bad and Trump assumes emergency powers you’re gonna be shut down right away

A professional liar. It's all about him.

Shut up. Not helpful.

It’ll backfire in your sleazy faces again

radleybalko I agree Trump is terrible but has been pushing a neoliberal agenda trying to convince working class Americans M4A won’t work in the US. Good luck with Biden.

Shame on you cnn don’t you have anything better or positive you can focus on at this time when we are facing a nationwide problem ? This is beyond the pale even for you all .

Tomorrow he will say... fakenews 🤣🤣 what a f... President

THIS is your idea of reporting? CNN is a shameful organization of activists with an agenda.

He has taken steps like a dictator would to prevent the public from knowing the reality & truth of what is really going on by making the government’s Health Department meeting “top secret.” He’s such an idiot. 45 you look pale😷🤒!

Lower ratings will continue for cnn

CNN SUCKS

You guys are pure evil. To cause a mass panic and root for deaths in attempt to crash the markets and to disparage Realdonaldtrump is probably the lowest you’ve sunk yet. Trump2020

CNN this is irresponsible reporting and its dangerous. No person including the president should be held to a 20-20 vision standard. Trump is doing the best job anyone can and he has been very responsive.

Why say inaccurate when we all know realDonaldTrump is lying

A real genius?

The Democrats are just trying to take him down alone with fake news. How about Obama? The buck stops with him. He can't con his way out this time.

Good headline. Make it better by flat out stating that trump* is lying to the American people about COVID19 , & the GOP are covering for him.

Acosta just got his ignorant butt thrown out of the White House! No believes a word that comes from him or this station!

At this point in time everyone should be united and beat this virus.

You are lying FAKE NEWS!!!!! Have you looked at your ratings lately? POTUS & his team have been honest and upfront. They are handling this expertly and in the best way humanly possible. StopTheLiesCNN

It’s all horse crap anyway. More people die from the regular flu or how about the the 35,000 that die in car crashes? You people are nuts.

Here’s a fact for you... Mass hysteria caused by the fakemedia all in hopes of negatively effecting the re-election of realDonaldTrump COVIDー19 vs influenza it’s a damn shame people are buying into this..... MAGA 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Isn’t that the pot calling the kettle black...?

CNN has been misinforming the country for a long time

How can he not misinform the public? There are contradictory statements made hourly by every news agency in the world, not to mention by everyone who had twitter and insta. Convinced nobody knows up from down on this.

... and this isn't 'fake news'!

Now do Schumer and the Democrats..

CNN please delete yourself

Trump has been misinforming the public since before he started running for president.

Are you kidding......VeryFakeNews do you really think AMERICANS with a BRAIN are gonna listen to anything y'all report re CoronaVirus that affects our LIVES?!! Please, your FAKE NETWORK brought us 3 yrs of FAKE FABRICATED TrumpRussiaCollusionBS & ImpeachmentBS!

Netanyahu's opposition parties respect the Arabs and regard them as part of themselves. Netanyahu has completely ignored the Arabs because he is a racist. IsraelElex2020 israelielections Palestinian

why you doing this ? what is the agenda, what the heck is wrong with you

Don't trust the CDC! Great job CNN

CNN was calling it a pandemic way before the world health organization declared it today March 11th

Just like you misinforming the public about vaping. Do you honestly think anyone is listening to your fakenews

More fake news from SleazeNN

Do we need to list the 28 ways you have lied and blown your credibility to bits over the last 3 years?

You’re so full of B$

In which chronological order would you put your best fake news headlines?

... + I have heard that all this is Matter of Life & Death, isn't it? So, if lives are compromised b/c of disinformation from WH who should be disseminating ACCURATE DATA for well-being of Americans, DEATHS that ensue can rightfully be laid at WH door!! Negligent homicide! ⚖️

So CNN has now had to stoop to doing your own fast checking, but much of this is not true.

Now do the 3,000 lies CNN has told about this.

Maybe actually use the word LIE, for once, when we're talking about a pandemic where millions of people could die.

CNN look in the mirror.

Don't even go there

THAT IS NOT TRUE & IT'S TIME YOU FAKERS STOP REPORTING JUNK LIKE THIS- CNN IS THE ONLY ONES SAYING THIS FAKE TRASH! FOX-NEWS

Donald J. Trump! The J is for Jenious and what Rex said!

Lebookkkk bngst

CNN trolling away in time of crisis.

He’s inaccurate majority of the time... How is this news? 🤷🏾‍♂️

Yep. downplaying, misinformation, muzzling experts, blame shifting, red campaign hats and golf weekends is a sick excuse for leadership in this crisis

Sadly you are preaching to the converted. It’s his followers who live by and believe his every word who are probably most at risk.

This is slander.

The media is hyping this up beyond belief in a irresponsible and reckless manner. Politicizing the virus?

It's about time you media start calling out his lies four years later. The dude's lied over 4000 times

He has always Misinformed the public.

F* you CNN like we are suppose to believe you

'America is the Greatest Country in the world.We have the best scientists,doctors,nurses and health care professionals'...but we have a terrible president.😭😭😭

You mean to write 'lying to the public'. Please correct the mistake.

Lol ,we are supposed to believe cnn?

Perfect timing!!!!

contained

Most of your 'fact checks' dispute rough numbers and things that cannot be confirmed. Now fact check some things from Biden that CAN be confirmed. Is there such a thing as an AR-14? AR-47? Are they machine guns? Is Biden running for US Senate?

HE HAS BEEN LYING. JUST SAY IT.

Trump is lucky Obama was scared to run for a third term.
