Not only does CNN have a visible left-wing and [[anti-Trump]] bias, but CNN International is one of the most prominent international broadcasters from the U.S., meaning worldwide viewers wanting to watch a U.S. channel or see the U.S. perspective will find CNN's left-wing bias, which will distort their perception of the U.S.<ref>Pollak, Joel B.

In May 2017, a CNN program claimed that [[Islam]] "has always been part of the American fabric" even as far back as the American Revolution, despite the apparent contradiction with the historical record.<ref>Pollak, Joel B.

In 2020, CNN tweeted that "Google will not be publishing a national-scale website for coronavirus testing anytime soon, contrary to claims made by President Trump during a news conference",<ref>https://twitter.com/cnn/status/1238718028566671360</ref> before claiming just a day later on their website that "Google will partner with US government to develop a nationwide coronavirus website".<ref>https://edition.cnn.com/2020/03/13/politics/google-trump-coronavirus-site/index.html?utm_content=2020-03-14T06%3A46%3A06&utm_medium=social&utm_term=link&utm_source=twCNN</ref>
After Special Counsel [[Robert Mueller]] thoroughly debunked the [[Russiagate]] [[conspiracy theory]], CNN's [[Jim Sciutto]] attempted to resuscitate the discredited hoax alleging that the CIA had to extract a deep cover asset from Russia because of fear that President Trump would out the asset's identity to Vladimir Putin. The ''New York Times'', ''Washington Post'', and CIA were quick to refute the story. The extraction occurred because of [[John Brennan]] and [[Obama administration]] leaks in the early days of the Trump-Russia hoax that put in danger of exposure and the lives of CIA assets in Russia.<ref>https://www.redstate.com/streiff/2019/09/09/cnn-russian-spy-exfiltration-story-trips-bull-alarms-two-continents/</ref><ref>https://hotair.com/archives/ed-morrissey/2019/09/10/wapo-nyt-contra-cnn-trump-not-reason-cia-exfiltrated-asset-russia/</ref><ref>https://twitchy.com/samj-3930/2019/09/10/fusion-gps-hustle-timeline-of-who-met-who-and-when-in-buildup-of-cnns-latest-trump-russia-exclusive-is-all-so-damning/</ref><ref>https://twitter.com/themarketswork/status/1171072580901453825?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw</ref><ref>https://twitter.com/aaronjmate/status/1171100680121176069?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw</ref>
In the Immanuel Christian School/Karen Pence [[hate crime hoax]], a 12-year-old girl claimed that three boys at Immanuel Christian School held her down and cut her dreadlocks while using the racially charged term "nappy." The wife of [[Vice President Mike Pence]], Karen Pence works at the school. CNN's [[Bakari Sellers]], NBC, CBS, CNN, ''[[The New York Times]]'', and [[The Washington Post]]'' all reported the incident nationwide and used the incident to attack Karen Pence.<ref>https://freebeacon.com/politics/hate-crime-media-used-to-attack-karen-pence-is-fake/</ref> The girl's family finally released a statement acknowledging the initial allegation was false. They apologized to all involved: "To those young boys and their parents, we sincerely apologize for the pain and anxiety these allegations have caused," they wrote. "To the administrators and families of Immanuel Christian School, we are sorry for the damage this incident has done to trust within the school family and the undue scorn it has brought to the school. To the broader community, who rallied in such passionate support for our daughter, we apologize for betraying your trust."<ref>https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/6th-Grade-Girl-Says-She-Lied-About-Boys-Cutting-Her-Dreadlocks-561784531.html</ref>
Even before the Trump Presidency, CNN had also engaged in fake news as well. In particular, its coverage of humanitarian crises in Kosovo as well as locations such as Somalia, Rwanda, Haiti, Macedonia, Bosnia, Ecuador, East Timor, Kuwait, Liberia, Albania, Congo, Gabon, Sierra Leone, Afghanistan, Sudan, and Iraq was strongly implied by Lt. Col. Robert "Buzz" Patterson of the Air Force to be the main reason why Bill Clinton had dispatched troops to those locations despite none of the mission parameters actually requiring direct American military aid, including the [[Kosovo War]] in the case of Kosovo.<ref>''Dereliction of Duty'' by Lt. Col. Robert "Buzz" Patterson, USAF (Ret.), Chapter 6, CNN Diplomacy, page 112-128.</ref>
In Nov 2022, CNN connected ''Daylight Savings Time'' to so-called ‘structural racism,’ linking it to sleep problems among communities of color. The outlet claimed problems with lack of sleep and sleep disorders are more prevalent in black, Asian, Hispanic, or Latino communities.<ref>Amy Furr, [https://www.breitbart.com/health/2022/11/29/cnn-connects-daylight-savings-time-to-structural-racism/ CNN Connects Daylight Savings Time to ‘Structural Racism’], ''Breitbart'', Nov 29, 2022.<blockquote><font size=1>
CNN on Friday connected Daylight Savings Time to sleep problems among communities of color. The outlet claimed problems with lack of sleep and sleep disorders are more prevalent in black, Asian, Hispanic, or Latino communities, adding the “inequities” can be detrimental to a person’s health. When a person’s sleep patterns are poor, it can result in obesity, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and certain forms of cancer, Chandra Jackson, a researcher and epidemiologist with the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences told the outlet.</font></blockquote></ref>
