CNN’s “fact-checking” division has hit rock bottom with faulty claims about former President Donald Trump’s indictment. This week, CNN political correspondent Sara Murray “fact-checked” Trump’s claims that President Joe Biden was involved in targeting him. She declared Trump’s claims weren’t true because, in part, Biden has denied involvement.

Similarly, correspondent Kristen Holmes also “fact-checked” Trump’s allegation that Biden had a hand in the classified documents probe. She declared without evidence that “this was not done through Joe Biden.” CNN’s fact-checking division is so flawed that Republicans who they contact for comment often won’t bother giving them the time of day. And when they do, epic dunkings of Daniel Dale, the division’s director, have been known to happen.

His bio says "fact checking the president."
The last time he actually fact checked President Biden was March 30th. Almost 90 some odd days ago. @ddale8 https://t.co/U1lHnIjpOG pic.twitter.com/QE2MdhoocI

One issue is how Holmes made it sound like Biden was not involved just because he denied it. On what does she base this? Biden’s denials and literally nothing else. Furthermore, Dale made no credible argumentative points regarding Biden’s non-involvement.
Joe Biden’s Justice Department pursued charges against Trump, who could be his opponent in the 2024 presidential election, and got them. CNN needs to stop ignoring this suspicious coincidence just because Biden denied everything.
