CNN has a pro-trump opinion headline next to a pro-Comey opinion headline

on the front page of their website, making it look as though this is some kind of debate in the court of public opinion.

When you click on the pro-trump opinion headline, you are directed to a propaganda piece by Anthony Scaramucci, who served as a senior adviser on the trump transition team:

"Comey's testimony shows Russia controversy is an anti-Trump witch hunt"

http://www.cnn.com/2017/06/09/opinions/comey-testimony-shows-anti-trump-witch-hunt-scaramucci/index.html

When you click on a so-called pro-Comey opinion headline, you are directed to an opinion by a CNN legal analyst, Paul Callan, with the title:

"For Trump, a prosecution of Comey would be a disaster"

http://www.cnn.com/2017/06/09/opinions/for-trump-a-prosecution-of-comey-would-be-a-disaster-opinion-callan/index.html

For a supposed news organization to push opinion bullshit on their front page of their website, minimizes the gravity of the Russian interference that occurred, and they should be ashamed of themselves

Never watched their crappy TV channel, but I used to look at their website for news. After they hired Lewandowski, I cut it all off. I won't ever click on a CNN link, I don't want them getting a single click of mine in their visitor count.

believe that President Obama is a Muslim, and not an American?

Are they going to give a voice to David Duke why racism is good? They already did something pretty close to that by asking, "are Jews human":

The line has really been crossed
