CNN chose facts over another appearance by Kellyanne Conway

• CNN’s communications team shut down Kellyanne Conway, calling out the “alternative facts” specialist for using alternative facts of her own.
  
• It began Saturday, when Huff Post reported that CNN actively chose not to put Conway on air on their flagship Sunday show, State of the Union. 
  
• The New York Times later quoted CNN’s explanation that turning Conway down was because of “serious questions about her credibility.”
  
• Conway denied that report, saying she “could not do live Sunday shows this week [because] of family.”
  
• CNN fired back a half-hour later, saying the White House offered to make Conway available for the show, but they “passed” on her appearance. Read more
