CNN is STILL MISREPORTING -- STILL saying case "reopened," still saying it's about "Clinton emails"

There is ZERO clarification about the emails (they are conveniently not mentioning that these emails are NOT Clinton's). They are not saying that it has to do with that idiot Weiner and his setting case. CNN still saying that it is about Clinton and her emails, Trumpers are on saying the criminal case is reopened. This is extremely frustrating. They are still saying the same hysterical comments. There is no clarity, and any person listening to CNN (who does not wade through hours of bullshit) will think that Clinton is under investigation again. I know they are irresponsible asshats, but this close to the election, running wild with a potentially VERY damaging story, and allowing Trumpers to say over and over again that Clinton is under investigation again, will be indicted, etc etc is so incredibly out of line.

Now Jake Tapper is running with it as his leading news story. This shit needs to get fixed asap. I don't think Podesta's (vague) statement helped at all.

so they have to concern troll the hell outta this story. the media is desperate for any negative story about hillary even when it doesn't concern her directly.

Slow Friday and they got this little nugget and they'll just run with it.

Wasn't CNN the one constantly breaking untrue news? I cant' remember what it was but they were running up and down some street reporting on shit they were speculating on.

Guess they haven't come very far.

event -- yet there is NO EVENT. Comey is incredibly irresponsible for doing this -- he should be forced to clarify his bullshit letter before the weekend. CNN is apparently going to run with this story w/out correcting it. Great. They irritate me as well but casual news viewers who watch them will get the wrong idea, and that is frustrating.

Remember, CNN was salivating for the start of "shock and awe". Revenue, not journalism, is their bottom line.
