So CNN has been reporting since the first day they could that that "OMG THE US HAS MORE COVID-19 CASES THAN ANY OTHER COUNTRY!!". Not once in their reporting did they use 'per capita' numbers that would indicate we actually had fewer per capita that most other countries.
But today in one of their cnn.com stories they say the President was caught "lying" about the US giving more tests than any other country, and as backup they use their own fact checker which says the president lied even though he really didn't because he didn't use 'per capita' numbers (South Korea has given more tests 'per capita' while the US has given more tests overall).
The fact check is from a few months ago and is clearly biased, yet they used it in a story today to justify saying Trump lied. https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/25/politics/coronavirus-testing-trump-south-korea-fact-check/index.html
I'm not and never have been the biggest Trump fan, but CNN's completely biased reporting is horrendous. People criticize Fox News for bias, but CNN is 100 times worse because they market themselves as unbiased yet constantly put misleading headlines out there and then skew the numbers and criteria to favor whatever their agenda is. They really are Fake News, not because they lie about facts but because of the misleading way they present facts and create headlines.
