CNN is on a bad streak of faking news. Coming out of the Manu Raju mess, Thursday night’s Anderson Cooper 360 was displaying a quote from Trump press aide Raj Shah….but the picture on screen was Rajiv Shah, an administrator of the U.S. Agency for International Development under Obama. His Twitter is also Raj Shah, but he's now president of the Rockefeller Foundation. Surely CNN doesn’t want to suggest it can’t figure out its Shahs.
Press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders tweeted the image on Friday night with the message: “.@CNN this is definitely not @RajShah45 but it is #FakeNews”

Leading off on Friday night, Cooper tersely explained the screw-up and said “we regret the error.”
