Is CNN finding a back-handed way to fight the meme war?

Alex Jones is the guy who offered $20,000 to the the person who came up with the best anti-CNN meme. Is this article their subtle revenge?

2. Possibly

But I wish they had pushed these points from the article well before the election.

"Holding onto any illusion of knowledge -- which is an easy way for people to feel like experts in in topics they know nothing about -- usually doesn't stand up to any form of critical thinking. If we cannot explain how a political neophyte like Trump Jr. could possibly have the training to track Russian spies or identify who on Mars might be importing sex slaves from Earth, then we should question those claims.
Yet the phenomenon of believing the absurd rather than critically questioning it is nothing new. "

3. And pushed it...

... as news, not opinion. Then again, it's not Breaking News like giant snails in Florida. Hehe
