Doesn’t matter much if you check CNN’s ratings,” one user wrote. One such Facebook post sharing just the headline and image received more than 1,000 likes and shares, with comments criticizing CNN for apparently running the report. While some users pointed out that the original report is meant to be humorous and that the image is a meme, others on Facebook and Twitter appeared to believe the image came from a genuine CNN broadcast. Screenshots just displaying the image and headline - without any indication it was satire - quickly spread online.

The satirical outlet Genesius Times, which calls itself “the most reliable source of fake news on the planet,” published an article Tuesday under the headline “CNN: Elon Musk could threaten free speech on Twitter by literally allowing people to speak freely.” The post included a photo of CNN anchor Don Lemon appearing to speak about Musk during a recent broadcast, with the chyron below Lemon featuring the same text as the headline. THE FACTS: After Tesla CEO Elon Musk acquired a 9% stake in Twitter to become its largest shareholder and joined the company’s board of directors on Monday, some social media users began spreading false claims about coverage of the news. The image purporting to be from a CNN broadcast originated on a satirical website.

CNN aired no such report about Musk “threatening free speech,” and the chyron was digitally altered to add the text. CLAIM: An image shows CNN aired a chyron that said “Elon Musk could threaten free speech on Twitter by literally allowing people to speak freely.”ĪP’S ASSESSMENT: False.
