The thing is, some people can make mistakes, get things wrong, be careless, etc. But that’s not what Jennings did here. Jennings knowingly, purposefully and intentionally lied to utterly distort what was said, which CNN pays him to do every day. CNN is the enabler of this.

What's the old phrase? Pennywise and pound foolish. Horrible news that will have a tremendous negative impact on vulnerable populations and the agencies that serve them.
