I'm glad that all the people who were fooled into thinking that was a real CNN video have the stalwart folks at Twitter helping them to stay on the straight and narrow.

Will this "manipulated" warning be a new chyron on SNL as well?

We do live in a time of mandated . This seems like a way to make sure the correct opinion is formed immediately, without having to apply thinking.
I know you are being sarcastic, but at what value?

One is the office of The POTUS from which only real information should derive, (this shouldn't involve guessing when he is being facetious ). He clearly speaks his mind even before the truth. He thought this pandemic was a "hoax."

SNL is entirely for laughs and satire. There is no premise of it being news. Sure its biased towards a politcal group but it's obvious in its nature and not coming from an elected official.

Do you trust his opinion because he is the President or because you ONLY trust Donald?

Who would think this? Who ever thought this, at any time in history?

Au contraire. Plenty of people get all of their "news" through SNL and other related comedy / parody / punditry shows, running the gamut from John Oliver to Tucker Carlson. There's plenty of premise of that being 'news' even though it's all entirely editorialized content designed to push a narrative.

Do you force everyone into false dichotomies, or do you beat your significant other?
