At a conference organized by The Atlantic, CNN's Brian Stelter was confronted by a student regarding his network's history of reporting on the Russia collusion hoax, Jussie Smollett, and the Hunter Biden laptop. Stelter avoided the specific allegations, instead defending the "shared reality" of journalism and citing the cooperation of news crews in war zones. The exchange is presented as a failure of mainstream media to address its own credibility issues.

CNN has settled a defamation lawsuit filed by Nick Sandmann, one of the Covington Catholic High School students involved in a viral 2019 incident at the Lincoln Memorial. The hosts express disappointment that the settlement prevents a public discovery process, which might have revealed internal CNN biases. Sandmann continues to pursue legal action against other media outlets including the Washington Post.

A viral video involving students from Covington Catholic High School and Native American elder Nathan Phillips sparked national outrage and accusations of racism. Initial media reports focused on the students wearing MAGA hats, but subsequent footage provided context that challenged the original narrative. Twitter suspended the account that first amplified the video, while several media figures issued apologies for rush-to-judgment commentary.
