Former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey called out CNN for promoting false news.
On Monday, Dorsey responded to a Tweet issued by CNNās Brian Stelter.
āTucker Carlson is always selling the same thing, says: āHeās selling doubtā¦'ā Stelter tweeted.
Dorsey replied, āAnd you all are selling hope?ā
Stelter later responded, āIām just one person, but I enjoyed our CNN interview and would love to do it again ā this topic deserves long form.ā
Political commentator at MSNBC, Elizabeth Spiers, defended Stelter.
āTheyāre selling truth, which is hope-agnostic. Itās supposed to inform you, not make you feel some kind of way,ā Spiers tweeted.

Miss Universe Iraq 2017 Sarah Idan weighed in on the conversation.
āEven sometimes sell false news. I know this from covering Iraq events in 2019. People need to understand every media is prone to either mistakes or deliberate corruption. Do your own investigation before believing what theyāre selling you,ā Idan tweeted.
Dorsey replied, āI know this from being on the streets of Ferguson during the protests and watching them try to create conflict and film it causing the protestors to chant āf**k CNN.'ā
Foreign Correspondent for Newsmax, Alex Salvi, suggested Dorsey was defending Tucker Carlson.
āNot defending a thing. holding up a mirror,ā Dorsey said.
Dorsey made headlines recently after criticizing Twitterās board of directors over its handling of the Elon Musk saga.
One Twitter user detailed the āplots and coupsā that occurred early on in the boardās history.
Dorsey then said it has āconsistently been the dysfunction of the company.ā
Earlier, Dorsey responded to another tweet that quoted venture capitalist Fred Destin citing what he said was a āSilicon Valley proverbā: āGood boards donāt create good companies, but a bad board will kill a company every time,ā as NBC News reported.
The former Twitter CEO responded, āBig facts.ā
