to the user that downvoted my comment: which of the four bullet points was false?

Didn't downvote (and I don't have CNN), but your complete lack of links to back up any of the things you mentioned makes it very hard to judge if they're actually true or false.

The story of CNN misreporting the fish story is true.

I won’t bother linking to CNN directly because they’ve probably edited their original article by now, but here’s a link from WAPO:
