CNN’s Reliable Sources panel is taking their orders well: ignore the Ben Shapiro-Piers Morgan debacle and play up the Morgan-Alex Jones interview. It’s a clever strategy that the left always uses; when they get creamed they pretend it never happened.

CNN, in an attempt to frame the gun debate as rational gun control advocates versus wild-eyed gun owners, posted two clips edited from the Ben Shapiro–Piers Moran wipeout, while at the same time posting the entire two-segment interview Morgan did
