White is black and black is white...... anything for a Trump check

Fake “news” .

So, like everything else he does, he failed at obtaining a 'quid pro quo' whilst withholding $400mil in aid. Damn...how bad can you be...

I didn’t see your fact check report of Schiff and gang? Why?

Amazing how biased this report is. It takes speculation from witnesses as facts. It also tries to say trump lawyers were allowed in the house proceedings - sure only on the last 7 days. Does that really count. Nope!

'facts' from CNN.. 'Sondland: 'Was there a quid pro quo? As I testified previously.. the answer is yes.' this alone is false, this is Sondland's presumption. facts first CNN. 'Sondland’s ‘bombshell’ turns out to be merely his presumption' SundayThoughts

CNN... don’t know facts.

The Democrats make over 150 false statements and every statement they made cannot be backed up with the fact and CNN ignores it. Why is that? Fake news

Here’s a breakdown. CNN appears to be the only network left on complete denial. Is this to keep Brian Stelter from wetting his diapers?

If the Trump lawyers lie is it still considered lying to Congress and a crime?

'News'

CNN fake news no facts.

Haven’t seen one of thes breakdowns the previous 3 days Odd.

Does anyone recall seeing a breakdown of the “facts” and crazy assertions and presumptions the House managers presented?

CNN isn’t interested in facts. They’re now just an extension of the Dem Party. Just be honest & say that there was no quid pro quo during the call & Zelensky admitted he felt no pressure. Those ARE facts. But, CNN uses Dem talking points & opinions to try to cloud the facts. Sad!

Where's the crime ? There isn't one.

What would FAKE NEWS CNN know about FACTS? The NATIONAL ENQUIRER is a more trusted name than CNN

We are all waiting here for you to fact-check the Democrat team I guess I hack job Network like CNN's not going to do this what does the DNC pay you guys?

Well, it wouldn't be a proper Trump defense, if it wasn't full of lies.

Here's a fact

you are all a bunch of Hillary stooges. LetTulsiSpeak invite her to the townhall!

Who does these lawyers think their fooling! Everyone knows including Zelensky, of Trump's payronage! He would have thrown Zelensky under the bus got in and backed over him twice! He only cares about himself, so people like Zelensky acquiesce!

You feed sure was full of Democrats lies and testimony the last 3 days.....Why so quiet today? Biased much? Lie much? Misrepresent facts to sway voters? Sounds like collusion.

Trump great lawyers spent less than 3 hrs to punctuate and destroyed Democrats and lying Schiff accusations against Trump

CNN is biased, garbage fake news!

'Journalists'

CNN wouldn't know a fact if it kicked them in the nutz

Advantage GOP

Fake News talking about 'Facts'. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I must have missed your fact checking of DNC managers. Where is it? Oh never mind....

Let's factcheck CNN on russiancollusion the last 3 years....and Nicksandman settlement....and Donlemon the molester. Now do Trumps lawyers....

Cute with the “ “.

Where's the fact checking of the house managers?

Sakalow next time you go to the bathroom, take a good wife... You are soo full of....!

'facts' LOL. CNN cannot contain their bias in this case. Pathetic!

Here’s six facts American’s know: ☑️Democrats are communists. ☑️Democrats have TDS. ☑️Democrats base has TDS. ☑️Democrats hate Trump winning. ☑️Democrats hate America ☑️CNN is propaganda.

Appears everything they said is true but yet your article try’s to twist things a million different ways to make the facts sound “not so true”. A fact is a fact! BTW, never once did you facts check the house managers. Elitist rigged propaganda!

....”ASK NOT WHAT YOUR COUNTRY CAN DO FOR YOU.. ASK WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR YOUR COUNTRY “ .... JOHN F KENNEDY ....”I WOULD LIKE YOU TO DO US A FAVOR THOUGH “.... DONALD J TRUMP

The only fact is trump getting the win

You want to dissect “facts”, how would you recognize them? You NEVER use them when reporting any story.

You can call these people liars. Just say it safely, Cnn.

Hahahaha cnn giving a breakdown on false stories Hahahaha!! That’s the pot calling the kettle black!!!

CNN fact checking Hahahaha hehehe hohohoho !!

MichaelMcGough3 nice to see you guys take a break from doxxing teenager for shitposting to do some shitposting of your own

They only talked for 2 hrs. Morons.

Facts just ended this

CNN is bad for you kids. Friends don't let friends listen to CNN. Don't do CNN. Alyssa Milano was a nice person until she started doing CNN. This is your brain on CNN...

DNC propaganda ☝️ machine

If CNN checked the facts it must be lies.

FakeNew SHAME ON YOU!

I found this really interesting and humorous comic book online -- it's called CNN & Six Facts.......... terrific fictional read - enjoy!

So they’re all true.

Gotta love “facts” in parentheses only to have you confirm the facts. CNN is a clown show...

Careful CNN your bias is showing again . Are you a news and journalistic outlet or just entertainment?maybe that’s why you are going under, I give you 18 mo.

If the Congress who wields the people's will cannot even ask if the President has done anything wrong, then you make him a King.

Facts?

This is bullshit

CNN DID YOU EVER LISTEN TO YOUR OWN PROGRAM? YOU ARE NON-PROFESSIONNAL AND YOU THINK YOU ARE...WHOWWW
