Wow - CNN! "Donald Trump's universe of alternative facts"

http://www.cnn.com/2017/02/08/politics/donald-trump-alternate-universe/index.html

(CNN)"It's working out very nicely."

President Donald Trump's travel ban had been in effect for less than 24 hours when, 10 days ago, he offered a smiling review from the Oval Office.

"You see it at the airports," Trump said, "you see it all over."

Indeed, millions of Americans with access to television and internet, and the thousands protesters at international arrivals terminals around the country, were bearing witness to the effects of his executive order.

But what they saw was something much different from what Trump described in his off-the-cuff remarks. The airports were gripped by chaos. Visa holders, including legal permanent residents, were being denied entry into the US, turned back or detained by Customs clerks, as families and lawyers argued for their release. The legal fight over the order -- now temporarily stayed -- seems destined for the Supreme Court.

She didn't watch Fox News anymore.

A couple of weeks ago I asked my husband after he got off the phone with her (they were talking about the media) if she's still watching CNN. He said, no. She switched back to Fox because, "CNN is so liberal!"
