CNN maintains Farrakhan is ‘far right’ after rest of media has corrected

Published May 3, 2019 12:25pm ET



CNN’s Alisyn Camerota characterized Louis Farrakhan a “far-right extremist” Friday morning — after the Washington Post issued a correction Thursday that he had been mislabeled as a “far-right” leader in a story about how he was barred from Facebook.

“Facebook is banning several far-right extremists from its services because it considers them dangerous,” Camerota said Friday morning. “This includes the Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, right-wing conspiracy theorist Alex Jones. Also banned, Paul Nehlen — an anti-Semite who ran unsuccessfully for Congress.”
