30. CNN is so irresponsible!

Instead of doing real investigation to find out what really happened, they called Cliven Bundy and enabled him to broadcast lies. Cliven Bundy said that Robery Finicum was shot in cold blood while holding up his hands. However, it looks like he charged the authorities and was shot. CNN gave the terrorists what they wanted – a misinformation campaign.
