A CNN reporter was pilloried on social media after he “lobbied” Facebook for not removing Alex Jones’s “InfoWars.”

“Facebook is hosting an event about how committed they are to fighting fake news, but they have no good answer when I ask as to why they permit InfoWars to have a page on their platform,” CNN’s Oliver Darcy tweeted on Wednesday evening.
