CNN has a liberal slant on the news, but it is not fake news.
a liberal slant? do you think CNN stopped feeding Hillary debate questions after the primaries?

Also, Fox and MSNBC are up front about being incredibly partial...cnn would deny any liberal slant.

What makes both of these media outlets legitimate media and not fake news is that they do not literally make up factual allegations out of thin air and present them as fact.

hands up don't shoot. steve bannon is a white supremacist, here's our interview with ted cruz or Donald trump (when really it is the Hillary campaign's interview with them), the contestants have not been provided with the questions

They're fake news simply by pretending to not have a liberal slant, but as you can see it's much worse than that

your nuts 4 more than just LSU

Did CNN report this as fact? Or did they quote a claimed eyewitness?

Has CNN reported this as a fact?

No, the person conducting the interview is conducting the interview, regardless of whose idea it was to ask a given question. However, this, along with this other point you brought up...

indicate that you are missing the point. Feeding questions to one side, or even taking direction from one side about what questions to ask, is not actually lying about the facts in a news report. Now, if they deny they did that when they actually did, then of course that is a lie, but I'm talking about the facts in news stories themselves. If they report that so-and-so said or did such-and-such, it's a virtual certainty that they did. If it turns out they didn't, then the legitimate media outlet will at least stop claiming that they did and usually issue a correction.
