As biased as the journalists on CNN are, the anonymous individuals behind the graphics department seem even worse. Wednesday’s CNN Newsroom may have showcased the worst example yet. (And that’s saying something.) The network told viewers that the White House has officially “declared war” on the “Constitution.” (It hasn’t.) Here’s the full graphic and screen shot from the opening of the 9am hour: “WH Declares War on Impeachment Inquiry & Constitution.”

Co-host Poppy Harlow breathlessly began the program this way: “The White House lays down the gauntlet, setting up a constitutional battle not seen in generations in a scorching, often surreal letter to House Democrats.” She added, “The White House declares all-out war on the impeachment inquiry into President Trump vowing zero cooperation, claiming Democrats want to just overturn the results of the 2016 election.”

Co-host Jim Sciutto intoned, “It's a constitutional crisis in the making.” But notice what wasn’t in the segment? The anchors never actually said what the CNN graphics alleged. Harlow and Sciutto did not claim the White House is at “war” with the Constitution. Once again, the graphics department is more biased than the journalists at CNN.

The letter from White House Counsel Pat Cipollone states:

“Your unprecedented actions have left the President with no choice in order to fulfill his duties to the American people, the Constitution, the executive branch and all future occupants of the office of the presidency.”

Now, one can find that self serving or believe that this administration doesn’t care about the Constitution. But it’s not CNN’s job to flat-out declare that Trump hates the Constitution.
