"SNIP.............
A group of Trump supporters gathered outside of CNNs headquarters in Atlanta in an attempt to protest against fake news on Saturday but the sparsely attended rally only drew an estimated 30 people.
The Atlanta Journal Constitution reports that the protest, which was live-streamed through the web by Breitbart News, featured people holding signs that said things like Beware fake news and CNN: Criminal News Network.
The protesters walked around outside of CNN on the sidewalk chanting, No more fake news and other slogans.
Were here to tell CNN no more fake news, organizer Melanie Morgan told the AJC. They have to know people who are here expect fairness in journalism.

(9,093 posts)They believe Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell over the CBO and almost every health consumer group on the GOP healthcare bills. And they believe Donald Trump over CNN. They are the idiocracy, here in the 21st Century.
