CNN slogan "facts first" - but they avoid them & get angry at others
They more than love to spout the facts (or lies) about the things they believe and their agendas. But they want nothing to do with facts that they disagree with.

CNN Panel Erupts Into Chaos Over Simple Fact About School Shootings
During Tuesday evening's CNN Tonight, facts inadvertently slipped through during a panel discussion on Hollywood actor Matthew McConaughey’s pleas for gun control at the White House earlier in the day, when liberal panelists and The Dispatch editor-in-chief Jonah Goldberg correctly noted children statistically have a much higher chance of dying in a car accident on the way to school than at school.
“If we're going to start telling people that they should be scared about what is going to happen to them, we should at least put this in perspective. There are about 54 million kids in American schools who go to K through 12 in America. In the last 29 years, 170 kids have been killed in school shootings,” Goldberg accurately noted before getting shouted down by his fellow panelists.
Political correspondent Kasie Hunt jumped in after Goldberg and asked “how does that compare to if my kid goes to school in Great Britain or Canada?” Suggesting that school shootings don’t happen in Great Britain or Canada.
Goldberg then slipped in some more facts and logic which ended up being more than the rabid CNN panel could handle: “if we're going to tell people they should be terrified about their kids being dropped off at school, we should remind them that their kids are more in danger on the drive to school statistically than at the school.”
This caused the panel to fly off the handle with faux conservative and co-host of The View Ana Navarro screaming, “No no no no no no no Jonah we can’t do this. But listen a child’s life cannot be a statistic.”
Between various incoherent shrieks from Navarro, Goldberg simply tried to explain that “you shouldn't tell the audience that this is the thing that they should be so terrified with paralyzed with fear about their own kids. When their kids are more likely to die from a lot of other things.”
Later on, Goldberg reiterated that “one shot child is too many as far as I’m concerned. But if you’re going to take that moral outrage and then tell people they should be paralyzed with fear that this is going to happen to them and their kids you’re doing them a disservice.”
