CNN commentator Sally Kohn admitted Monday that she is guilty of manipulating facts to help fit her chosen narrative.

Kohn noted that she and fellow guest panelist Jeffrey Lord “are paid for [their] opinions.”

“We offer opinions,” she explained. “You and I also massage the facts to make them fit our side or the other.”

The Daily Beast columnist pointed to her own bias as a reason there should be fact-checkers moderating presidential debates.

“There does have to be, in the media, and in this election, some semblance of objectivity, and the fact is more people turn into that debate and won’t watch the commentary or read the analysis after the fact,” she continued.

Kohn stated that the Fox News debate with Chris Wallace “was fabulous where they had the Republican candidates on the stage and they used their own words and their own video clips to hold them accountable for things they’ve said before.”

“If Donald Trump says ‘I was against the Iraq War all along,’ and the American people hear him say that, they have — many do not have the grounds to know whether that’s a factual statement or not. It is it is a patently untrue statement. He has flip-flopped on this support for the Iraq War, Period. You can’t argue it. You can’t debate it. That’s a fact and the American people have the right to know the facts when it comes to both candidates. I can’t even believe we’re debating this as something that’s good for democracy.”
