(Modernity) During a segment criticising Trump supporting journalist Laura Loomer, CNN hit a new low by using a completely fake image of the former president that had been photoshopped to make him look grossly obese.
The ridiculous image was displayed by host Anderson Cooper on Friday during the segment.
CNN even credited the parody X account, Liam Nissan™, that edited the image to make Trump’s appear 200 lbs heavier.
Here is the segment:
Anderson Cooper aired an obviously edited photo of Trump on his show last night as legitimate.
When are you going to correct the record @andersoncooper?

What the hell?
Here is the original image posted on X:

There’s no way this is a ‘mistake’.
CNN knew the image was doctored and used it regardless.
The parody account pointed out that CNN has used their image, finding it hilarious that Cooper credited them.

Loomer herself later reacted to the image, labelling Cooper “unethical.”
