I love when people have a problem with CNN and call it the worst thing ever when FOX news is still a thing.

CNN blowing things out of proportion doesn't mean that there is no truth to what they say.

I used to think Fox was the worst as well, until this election that is. I watched Trumps speeches and Hillary’s and Bernie’s from start to finish, live. I would then watch CNN, MSNBC and Fox news coverage of those speeches. To my surprise Fox was actually the most accurate when it came to all parties. They twisted much less than CNN and MSNBC. A good example is Trump wanting a wall at the Mexican border to keep out the drug dealers, rapists and murderers, CNN immediately went with "Trump calls Mexicans rapists and murderers" It wasn’t even remotely what he said or meant. CNN also twisted the travel ban calling him a racist for singling out Muslims, last I checked he was banning travel from those countries and not targeting Muslims. Yes those countries are Mostly Muslim, they also have a high population of terrorists. Stateside Muslims were not affected.

So you only care about the result not the intent? Because according to Giuliani the intent was a muslim ban but a ban by region was the closest they could come to that legally. Given that the intent was a muslim ban I think calling the final result a "muslim ban-lite" is perfectly reasonable.
