Do you get mad when you see liars taking advantage of people? Do you spend more time on the internet than anyone really should? This might be the job for you!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Notable responses to CNN included:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Buck Sexton<\/strong>, radio host: \u201cBeyond parody.\u201d<strong>Candace Owens<\/strong>, The Daily Wire: \u201cCNN to create a team dedicated to covering CNN.\u201d<strong>Monica Crowley<\/strong>, former Trump official: \u201cThe call is coming from INSIDE the house!\u201d<strong>Max Abrahms<\/strong>, professor: \u201cAre you going to re-cover the Steele dossier, Hunter\u2019s laptop, the Russian bounties, ISIS\u2019 Air Force in Syria and all the other tales CNN told?\u201d<strong>Steve Deace<\/strong>, The Blaze: \u201cWow, impressed that CNN is investing real resources into internal accountability.\u201d<strong>Ram Prasad<\/strong>, entrepreneur: \u201cThis team will have to mostly cover the CNN anchors.\u201d<strong>Jeffrey A Dove Jr<\/strong>., former political candidate: \u201cSo a team dedicated to covering themselves. Seems a bit much @CNN.\u201d<strong>Seth Dillon<\/strong>, The Babylon Bee: \u201cCNN creates team dedicated to covering CNN.\u201d<strong>Daniel Horowitz<\/strong>, The Blaze: \u201cThey will need at least one staffer per reporter they have to properly shadow.\u201d<strong>Drew Berquist<\/strong>, radio host: \u201cNow this is going to be amazing! Can\u2019t wait. Hope Brian Stelter is involved.\u201d<strong>Adel Meyer<\/strong>, political commentator: \u201cThe propaganda is going into overdrive now. Just when we thought 2022 couldn\u2019t get any worse\u2026\u201d<strong>Lee Williams<\/strong>, reporter: \u201cAre you going to assign a reporter to cover Brian Stelter full time? He\u2019s a walking, talking disinformation source.\u201d<strong>Sean Davis<\/strong>, The Federalist: \u201cPretty sure the entire network is already devoted to misinformation.\u201d<strong>Drew Holden<\/strong>, media critic: \u201cThey\u2019ve finally found a description for CNN+?\u201d<strong>Steve Cortes<\/strong>, political commentator: \u201cMay I suggest they begin with the Charlottesville #FinePeopleHoax, a damnable calumny that CNN has propagated for years 5 years now? My repudiation of their role in spreading that myth led, in fact, to my departure from broadcasting for CNN.\u201d<strong>Jason Rantz<\/strong>, radio host: \u201cThis is rather surprising. You don\u2019t normally hear of left-wing networks hiring staff to call out its fellow anchors, reporters and analysts for spreading nonsense. Kudos to CNN for finally looking in a mirror to call out their misinformation and disingenuous takes.\u201d<strong>Glenn Greenwald<\/strong>, blogger: \u201cAlong with NBC, the New Yorker, the Atlantic and NYT, Ground Zero for the insane Trump-is-Putin\u2019s-blackmail-pawn conspiracy theory was CNN. They were led around by CIA to spread the most unhinged conspiracy. Now they really believe they fight, rather than spread, \u2018misinformation.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Related:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
