“We’re going to learn the various types of misinformation,” King told the class. “They’re called satire, false context, imposter content, manipulated content and fabricated content.” 

“As the web becomes even more of a wild west every day, the students here at PS-207 in Queens, New York, know that they need these lessons,” Stelter said. “The goal is to equip future generations of savvy news consumers.”

“So they’re taught not to watch CNN?” Ruthless co-host Comfortably Smug quipped.

“Once In front of live audience, Ted Koppell accused Brian Stelter of running nonstop Trump coverage for ratings, Stelter responded ‘Ratings don’t matter at CNN’ & crowd burst out in laughter Brian Stelter is a paid propagandist who Manufactures Consent with glee. This is gross,” progressive commentator Jimmy Dore slammed the CNN star. 

“Why not send CNN contributor & host Rex Chapman?” The Spectator contributor Stephen Miller wondered, referring to one of the network’s recent new hires who has a lengthy history of spreading misinformation on Twitter. 

Others mocked the recent scandals that have rocked the liberal network against Stelter.

“Logistics must have been a nightmare considering how many CNN employees aren’t allowed within 500 feet of a school,” author Landon Knepp joked.

“…And we know how much CNN producers love children,” comedian Bridget Phetasy tweeted.

Those tweets were alluding to the recent arrest of ousted CNN producer John Griffin, who was charged with sex crimes involving minors as well as the ongoing criminal investigation into former CNN producer Rick Saleeby, who was caught making comments expressing sexual fantasies about his then-fiance’s teenage daughter. 

CNN was also forced to fire star anchor Chris Cuomo last year after the extent of his involvement with the sexual harassment defense and strategy of his brother, former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
