While CNN posted a short video today, targeting One America News (OAN) for its supposedly far-right news commentary, the internet took exception to the fact that the liberal news outlet is apparently unaware of the hypocrisy in accusing another news network of partisan reporting.
The video features Brian Stelter narrating a video that is supposed to discredit OAN, by referring to it as a platform for far-right political commentary and the occasional "conspiratorial video thrown in for good measure."
At the time of this writing, CNN's video has just under 700 likes and hundreds of comments Twitter.
Everyone knows @CNN is left-wing propaganda. It isn't even thinly veiled anymore.

Scott Presler had this to say:
Didn’t you have Michael Avenatti on your program?

And there is this from Brian Eure:
This is hilarious. CNN, who employs every person implicated in #spygate, had Michael Avennati on everyday for over a year, basically invented #fakenews with the likes of cooper, cuomo, Acosta, settler and lemon etc is critiquing @OANN @JackPosobiec on journalism.

And this:
Daily reminder that @CNN started the pee dossier hoax, peddled the debunked Russiagate hoax which led to a shooting of a Senator, and had to pay a defamation settlement to an underage boy

The Post Millennial reached out to OAN anchor, Jack Posobiec, who said, "CNN is jealous of OAN's fast rise and loyal viewers. I can understand why they are depressed though, seeing as CNN is only on in airports and no one is flying."
This comes as CNN's very own Chris Cuomo was publicly seen breaking quarantine by a cyclist, though Cuomo maintained that he was in his home the entire time.
And a lawsuit against Don Lemon, who was accused of sexual assault by a Hampton's bartender, is still ongoing.
Reminder that Don Lemon is still in court over an alleged sexual assault her is accused of.

There are perhaps criticisms to be made against OAN, but CNN is the last news outlet to campaign against another outlet for dishonest and fraudulent reporting.
