CNN recently published an article claiming that California’s governor faces no Democrats in the coming gubernatorial recall race. After FOX News and other news outlets reported on the article, CNN changed a sentence in their report from “No Democrats are competing against their own party’s governor,” to “No party-backed Democrats are competing.”

In response to CNN’s article, Kevin Paffrath, a prominent Democratic candidate, sent a cease-and-desist letter to the media company, calling for it to correct the wording of its article.
