I do; it is definitely implied. Nukes are mostly described in terms of their power, where conventional bombs are described based on size. and this article intentionally compares the two based on size if an attempt to imply that the US used something that would cast the US in the most negative way possible.
Sure, CNN is more subtle than this. But it's a good example of the kind if fake news that they report everyday.

No it sounds like they said size, not power. You interpreted power, not size. maybe stick to the definition and not assume...
They are 100% implying it's twice the power, whether they mean to or not.
Have fun playing the contrarian role though.

Was the bomb twice the size(or more) of Little Boy?
Simple answer

no, you assumed something other than the most popular definition of the word. Who is the contrarian?

You're defending a tabloid dude
They use wording like that all the time...but can fall back on plausible deniability. "OHHH NOOO WE MEANT THE PHYSICAL SIZE OF THE BOMB!!!"
