CNN is picking up right where it left off in 2017, by delving deeper into circus antics for ratings and reporting fake news, as evidenced by the network’s embarrassing coverage of New Year’s Eve celebrations across the United States.
Outkick The Coverage’s Clay Travis, who triggered CNN’s Brooke Baldwin in September by saying he loved “boobs,” saw CNN’s ridiculous reporting on New Year’s Eve and decided to punk the network.
OKTC reports:
And around ten eastern my phone blows up with a bunch of you sending me videos of CNN’s New Year’s Eve celebration, which featured people smoking pot live on air in Colorado and our good friend Brooke Boobs Baldwin and Don Lemon live in a New Orleans bar.
Now I don’t care about smoking pot — I’m all for legalizing and taxing drugs which can’t kill you like weed… — but I do find it amazing that CNN can claim that me saying I loved the first amendment and boobs is unacceptable and I’m banned from the network forever and then they’ve got reporters holding joints and bong gas masks live on air.
What kind of consistent editorial standard is that?
So Travis decided to offer $20,000 to anyone who could get on CNN and yell “I love boobs.”

Following the stunt, Travis blasted CNN for reporting on its website that the marriage proposal was real and congratulating the young couple on making $20,000.
