In the wake of President Trump's unyielding attacks on CNN's credibility as a viable news organization, this embattled network has dared to assemble a team of great thinkers to come up with the perfect rebuttal for our POTUS.
Well, so much for that attempt at an intelligent assertion...
The best CNN could conjure up is a short internet advertisement showing an apple, which they vehemently assure you is NOT a banana.
Here is their rotten apple:

To the non analytical mind, this may seem like a reasonable, logical counter argument. But the problem is, most things in life are not so simple as distinguishing the different fruits.

Speaking of fruits, apples & bananas notwithstanding, CNN can't even get that right either.
When it comes to the gender identity 'crisis' in America, this journalistic giant seems to be stuck on stupid. The most fundamental truth about humans, taught to all of us(until very recently), is revealed directly on our own anatomy. When you look at someone's genitalia, you know their gender.
Apparently, the kids at CNN were absent from school the day they taught genital gender identification.
To illustrate their severe lack of wisdom, I defer to the great Ben Shapiro of the Daily Wire to give us some hilarious insight:

First off, CNN’s commitment to the idea that apples are apples and bananas are bananas is somewhat weak. In fact, when I said this exact thing on CNN HLN two years ago, I was physically assaulted by one of their guests:
Second, if a news outlet has to tell you how committed it is to the facts, it often isn’t. Such as this headline, for example:
In this case, an apple was apparently a banana.
For months, we heard nothing but the story from CNN that the Russians had “hacked” the election. That wasn’t fact, but narrative. The problem with CNN isn’t that they’re fact-free — they’re not, and many of their reporters are excellent — but that they have a bad habit of conflating their opinions with the facts in the same way as any other outlet. The only difference: they fib about doing so, as many in the pseudo-objective media do.
So no, the ad doesn’t work. An apple is indeed an apple, but CNN has been in the business of slicing, dicing, juicing, and mixing that apple with bananas in order to fit its preferred political outcome.

As you can see, when it's convenient to oversimplify in the defense of their position, CNN will readily provide us with condescending preschool lessons about seeded fruit, which really says nothing about the serious problems plaguing our country today.
But when they are called out for muddying the waters of truth like the gender blender, or blatantly spinning a false narrative to win a political war, such as Trump's alleged Russian collusion, they fall back to treating the public like we are simpletons.
Ironically, there WAS Russian collusion, with DEMOCRATS. But you won't hear it from CNN...
How about them apples?
