Well, CNN did it again… This isn’t new though it’s always been part of their agenda to spread fake news.
This time around is one of the worst fake news they have ever promoted. I mean, it cost their viewers a lot of money.
CNN shared that a single mother of three girls started a Gofundme so she could pay rent. They make up a story that the woman was evicted because the moratorium expires.
Dasha Kelly is a single mom facing eviction over unpaid rent, “You know it’s happening when we start talking about it… it’s bringing all of my emotions.”
BUT IT WASN’T ALL TRUE
Dasha Kelly the single mother of three children who raised thousands of dollars online to prevent an eviction after an interview with CNN last week, was not accurate at all.
The woman is not single and those aren’t her kids.
Still, Radical Rep Cori Bush later also tried to get into the action by promoting a second CNN interview:
When I say your Congresswoman loves you, this is what I mean.
Kelly, I may not be your representative, but I love you and I will not stop working to make sure you and every person in our country has what they need to thrive. pic.twitter.com/qoDjn0xGnk

Once the fake news reached the public, people realized it was a fake one, so CNN had to get off their duffs and analyze and verify the story they have already shared twice in a row.
Gofundme raised more than 230K because of the CNN promotion.
According to Fox News:
CNN recently promoted the story of a “mom” of three young children who was nervous about being evicted amid the federal eviction moratorium. The liberal network even pushed a GoFundMe to help her cover the rent – but it turns out she wasn’t the mother after all.
CNN reporter Nick Watt caught up with Dasha Kelly last week for a story on the recent eviction moratorium lapse. He referred to the three children as “her little girls” and noted they could all end up on the street as CNN’s on-screen chyron said, “Mom braces for eviction.” Watt explained that Kelly lost her job because of the coronavirus pandemic and can no longer afford child care, and her “little girls” were shown during CNN’s segment.
However, it turns out Kelly isn’t the mother of the three young children used throughout CNN’s reporting.
After CNN aired a story about her potential eviction, Dasha Kelly clarified to CNN that she is not the mother of the three children featured in the story. CNN has verified she takes care of the children in her home for periods of time. She says she originally described herself to CNN as a mother because she considers herself to be like one to them,” a correction added to CNN’s online report said.
The online version of the on-air interview now begins with a disclaimer, “
After CNN aired a story about her potential eviction, Dasha Kelly clarified to CNN that she is not the mother of the three children featured in the story.”
Kelly was portrayed as a “single mom” at the outset, however.
As of now, GoFundMe has frozen the account while they investigate the matter.
Another sham propaganda story brought to us by the snake oil salesmen over at CNN.
