Further, \u2064she criticized the network on Fox News&#8217;s *Hannity*, claiming CNN has\u200d consistently spread falsehoods \u200babout Trump \u200band supported narratives against him, such as\u2064 the Russian collusion and Charlottesville stories. Leavitt disparaged CNN&#8217;s self-description as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/sen-kennedy-on-cnn-reporters-claim-that-gender-identity-isnt-known-at-birth-a-boy-has-a-penis-a-girl-has-a-vagina\/\" title=\"Sen.

They propagated the Russia, Russia, Russia hoax, they helped the Biden campaign censor the truth about the Hunter Biden laptop story, they pushed the Charlottesville hoax that a far-left outlet, finally seven years later, debunked yesterday, and they have an anti-Trump bias that is at the core of their organization, and we should not expect anything less from them at Thursday night\u2019s debate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Leavitt added that CNN wants the public to \u201claughably\u201d believe that the network is \u201cthe most trusted name in news,\u201d which she said it is not. She also said CNN is an anti-Trump institution, \u201cjust like basically every other main institution in this country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>CNN has defended Tapper and Bash ahead of the debate.
