Summary
Elon Musk Delivers EPIC Smackdown of CNN Over Lies, CNN Doubles Down With Fake News. Elon Musk did a heroic thing recently, he worked to get emergency ventilators to various hospitals in the US.
As no good deed goes unpunished CNN decided to run fake news making Elon Musk look bad.
Musk fired back slamming CNN over their lies and many were quick to point out that CNN didn't bother to fact check their story and as it turns out Elon was right and CNN was wrong.
Instead of owning up to their mistake CNN decided to argue semantics claiming that the ventilators he sent weren't the high quality invasive ventilators they thought he would send.
CNN Seems to do anything possible to make Trump, Republicans, and any one trying to make things better look bad. Of course as Democrats just call for more scandals CNN just runs their narratives uncritically
Its almost like they want the chaos
It makes sense, chaos is good for their ratings.

| 0:00.0 | There's been a brewing controversy involving Elon Musk, the delivery of ventilators and CNN |
| 0:05.2 | over the past several days, because CNN ran a story without fact-checking, where the |
| 0:10.6 | governor of California said that they've never received the ventilators Elon Musk was supposed |

| 0:29.4 | While they're not the kind of ventilators people are typically thinking of when we say |
| 0:32.7 | ventilator, they actually are. |
| 0:34.9 | More importantly, Elon Musk says they were the devices specifically requested. |
| 0:39.4 | How do we get to a point where the media is claiming that Elon Musk is not delivering |
| 0:43.9 | when he literally delivered exactly what they asked for? |
| 0:47.6 | See, the media drives off of rage bait and fake news. |
| 0:51.1 | They get a comment without fact-checking, and they know Elon Musk being a high-profile |
| 0:55.2 | figure, they will get traffic off of this controversy. |
| 0:59.4 | And the controversy has been brewing for a few days. |
| 1:02.0 | Now I'm certainly not shy about criticizing the media. |
| 1:04.8 | But there's a more important point through all of this. |
| 1:08.0 | Yes, perhaps you clicked this story because I made a thumbnail about a spec down and Elon |
| 1:13.0 | Musk. |
| 1:14.0 | But the reality is, these news organizations are upset. |
