CNN forced to correct story after accusations of 'smear' campaign against Katie Britt
Fox News
CNN was forced to issue a correction to an article targeting Republican Alabama Sen. Katie Britt over her reference to a human trafficking victim during her State of the Union rebuttal.
CNN paraded Jacinto in front of its audience over the weekend with an appearance on the network and in a subsequent story in which it made a number of claims attempting to derail Britt's portrayal of the story. However, those claims ran in stark contrast to past reporting on Jacinto, as well as her own words. Brandon Gillespie is an associate editor at Fox News. Follow him on X at @BGillespieAL.
In its piece following the weekend interview with Jacinto, CNN wrote that Britt inaccurately said she met one-on-one with Jacinto. However, Britt never claimed in her rebuttal to have had a one-on-one meeting, only stating that she "spoke" with Jacinto while traveling to the border in Texas.
