With the gauntlet thrown down, Ed Driscoll over on Instapundit quipped, "I think you're gonna need a bigger website." The Daily Caller was the first to answer the call, citing five instances when CNN spread false information to an unassuming public:

False Story 2: CNN Falsely Claims Sherelle Smith Was ‘Calling For Peace’

False Story 3: CNN Says It’s Illegal To Look At Wikileaks

False Story 4: CNN Says Rape Is Pre-Existing Condition Under ACHA

False Story 5: CNN Had To Correct False Comey Report
