CNN host Chris Cuomo says 'fake news' insult is 'equivalent of the N-word for journalists'
"That's what 'fake news' is to a journalist," the CNN host continued. "It's an ugly insult, and you better be right if you're going to charge a journalist with lying on purpose."
Earlier in the day, Cuomo said being called "fake news" was "like an ethnic disparagement" for journalists, but he didn't at the time compare it to the N-word.
Cuomo initially made the comparison after President Donald Trump tweeted that Cuomo was advancing so-called fake news.
A representative for CNN did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
