OOOOpsie! CNN's Deranged Propagandists Have Another On-Air Shart

Via Instapundit, CNN's Kaitlin Collins has once again revealed herself to be a clueless but arrogant Democrat shill.

It begins with CNN's biased anti-Trump know-nothing Bill Weir asserting, WITHOUT EVIDENCE, that the Trump press release stating that he would reform "OOOO" was a "typo" or "place-holder" for the real section name which would be added later.

Kaitlin Collins says "Oooops," mockingly.

WEIR: Uh, today, Lee Zeldin put out a video on X, and they were putting out press releases with such a flurry, about 31 different actions and rollbacks, that some of them had typos or placeholders at the top. We have one of those there. Trump EPA announces zero, zero, zero, you can see there.

COLLINS: Oops

WEIR: It's sort of shoot first, fill out the press release later.

But here's the thing that these "journalists" and "truth-tellers" never bothered to look up: "OOOO" is not a "place-holder" nor a "typo." "OOOO," or "Quad O," is the actual name of the section Trump is talking about reforming.

It's not zero-zero-zero-zero, it's Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh, and it's a real part of the law.

The "fact checkers" do not bother with two second searches to check their own fake "facts."

This is why the "fact-checking" industry is such a joke. It is filled with supposed "experts" who have no idea what they are actually talking about, yet are more than willing to make false assertions with total confidence. The press release shown in the clip does not read, "Zero, zero, zero." Those are the letter "O," and they are the identifier for a specific regulation under the Clean Air Act.

Zeldin took to social media to correct the record after Weir's embarrassing flub.

ZELDIN: Another media "fact check" face plant where the fact checker doesn't have the slightest clue what he's talking about. "OOOO b/c" is not a typo. 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart OOOO, or Quad O, is a federal reg under the Clean Air Act.Also, those aren't zeroes, it's the letter "O".

...

My absolute favorite part of this entire thing, though, is Collins sarcastically mocking Zeldin by saying "Oops," even as it is her correspondent that is in the midst of getting the story completely wrong. That is the kind of arrogance that has led to the press suffering its worst approval ratings in history. Will she correct the record and apologize on her show on Thursday night? She should, but somehow, I doubt she does.
