Update: CNN’s Anderson Cooper tweeted out a correction to the mistake but the harm has been done: “A previous tweet had a video misidentifying Gov. Northam’s party affiliation, it has been removed and the video has been corrected.”
This is CNN fake news at work! We’ve warned about the subtitles on CNN and how they sneak in propaganda and fake news via the bottom of your TV screen.
They just did it again during a segment about the Virginia governor who’s in hot water. Social media called them out in a big way immediately after the Anderson Cooper clip was played.
Check out the video below and you’ll see at the bottom of your screen an R next to the governor’s name instead of a D.
WATCH:
Anderson Cooper introduces the photo of the governor and then a clip of the statement by Northam is shown. Look at the bottom left side of the screen and you’ll see the R next to Northam’s name.
CNN's "Anderson Cooper 360°" falsely claims that Virginia Democrat Governor Ralph Northam is a member of the Republican Party
Watch the Chyron at the bottom as they show the video of Northam.

The subtitles are something to watch because they often say very biased things while the host is talking.
Thanks for @JakeWilkns for pointing this out. Remember the report about President Trump focusing on the chyrons at the bottom of the screen. Well this is a perfect example of media manipulation and #fakenews he was talking about! This man is a DEMOCRAT own it

We’ve reported about this before but this example is one of the worst we’ve seen!
We’re talking about the subtitle or chyron that appears below or above the screen when you’re watching the news. It’s used in devious ways by left-leaning media to promote propaganda to the viewers.
Larry O’Connor got a screenshot of the screen during the funeral for former President George H.W. Bush. Notice anything?
Do you see it? “TRUMP’S TOUGH WEEK”
BELOW THAT IS THE COMMENT:
“TRUMP AWKWARDLY GREETS EX-PRESIDENTS AT BUSH 41 FUNERAL”
Both of those subtitles are lies!
President Trump has not had a tough week. What was tough about it?
The second part of the subtitle is a flat out lie. We watched the funeral and video clips after it. The only thing that was awkward was the cold shoulder Hillary Clinton gave President Trump. It made her look so petty and bitter.
See for yourself that President Trump and Melania were perfect but we can’t say the same thing about the others in the front row.
“Ice Queen” should be the new nickname for Hillary Clinton.
When President Trump arrived at the pew to be seated for the funeral of former President H.W. Bush, watch Hillary Clinton just stare stone-cold facing the front.
You can see everyone else shakes hands or waves but Hillary isn’t having any of it.
The sour grapes continue…

THE FOX NEWS ANCHORS AND CBS MENTIONED THE CHILL IN THE AIR IN THE FRONT ROW:
PRESIDENT TRUMP AND FIRST LADY MELANIA TRUMP walked down the aisle of the church to be seated today to attend the funeral for President H. W. Bush and got the cold shoulder from some in the front row.
Chris Wallace of Fox News mentioned how the row of former presidents were chatting in the front row but when the president arrived with Melania, there was silence.
The rudeness is apparent in the way the effort wasn’t made to engage the first couple.
It was quite obvious and so obvious that it had to be addressed:

Hillary Clinton couldn’t shake hands with the first couple but President Trump reached out to shake hands with the Obamas.
The reception was rather cold but expected.
Trump, Melania, Obama and Michelle shake hands.
Melania shakes hands with Bill.
No shakes from Hillary

A CHILL IN THE AIR:
Oh man. Trump sits down in the front row next to Obamas, Clintons and Carters.
Trump looks over, smirks, nods and winks.
Everyone else’s expression in the row is just – wow

Expressions mean so much and the expressions tell it all. This is Obama’s expression:
