CNN Porn Hoax (November 2016)

CNN Porn Hoax (November 2016)

In November 2016, on Thanksgiving, it was alleged on Twitter that a half hour of Pornography had aired on CNN in Boston, Massachusetts at the time when Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown was supposed to air.

The porn allegedly stared retired Transexual actress Riley Quinn.

The network first admitted the porn, saying it was the fault of RCN Corporation, which was delivering the programming.

But they later reversed and took RCN's side, saying no porn ever aired.

This was reported as a false hoax by fact checking giant SNOPES.

The alleged porn was tweeted by account Solikearose which no longer exists.

[2] [1]Conservative website Breitbart News used CNN's oafish behavior in the incident as an opportunity to talk shit about CNN.
