Rubio Campaign Press Release - After CNN Runs False Story on Rubio, #CNNHeadlines Took Over Twitter
March 8th, 2016
Last night, CNN ran a completely false story about Marco, apparently based on a single anonymous source outside the campaign.
Soon after, Twitter users started mocking the network's unreliable reporting with the hashtag #CNNHeadlines.
