Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Believing he was really crying ain't much better than believing any other shit he spews. It was fake tears to grift his fans.
People are choosing to believe it, because it's what they want to believe.
Which is true for the people who believe any of his lies...
Be better than Alex Jones's fans.
Quick edit:
And it shouldn't need a reminder, but it's been years since WB bought CNN and they've openly been saying they want it to be more like faux news
These articles are the manifestation of that
Please, for the love of God, everyone needs to stop consuming "news" from CNN. It's a frog boil to make Dems more like Republicans, and it's fucking working
Oh I saw CNN air this. They had absolutely no pity for the tears and the anchors basically said "sucks to suck, doesn't exactly inspire sympathy"
Is there something specific in this article that triggered your CNN comments? I didn’t actually read it but just curious.
Weird way to phrase that...
But just the type of "news" this is. Repeating something everyone knows is bullshit, but it's what people want to hear so they'll mindless spread it on social media
If you're not aware, CNN is more on the "entertainment" side of "entertainment news" these days.

I don't know how, but a lot of people seem to have already forgotten.
That article is from two years ago when the sale happened, and CNN fired everyone that objected to the changes.
I was genially curious with my question. Not trying to throw shade. I do not read much CNN articles these days.
I guess this story being news worthy is debatable, but seems like it shouldn’t be posted in the political community.
If he was really crying then maybe, but probably not even then.
CNN could at least run a real headline:
