CNN Botches Another Tribute- Erases Two Decades of Steinem’s Leftist Activism * The Gateway Pundit * by Margaret Flavin

CNN was caught in another embarrassing moment during a tribute to Gloria Steinem.

The Gateway Pundit reported that Steinem, a feminist organizer and Honorary Chair of the Democratic Socialists of America, died on Wednesday at 92.

During her career, Steinem campaigned for Democrats, demeaned men and the traditional family, and celebrated the killing of unborn children.

Steinem serves as one of eight Honorary Chairs of Democratic Socialists of America for her work for DSA in the 1980s and ‘90s and one of its predecessor organizations, Democratic Socialist Organizing Committee.

During a tribute to Steinem on the network during Thursday’s edition of “CNN News Central,” a graphic incorrectly listed Steinem’s lifespan as “1934-2006,” erasing two decades of Steinem’s attack on the family structure.

The glaring mistake came just days after the network had to apologize to the family of Dolly Parton after airing a photograph of a Las Vegas impersonator instead of the country music legend during its coverage of her death.

On Tuesday night’s episode of Laura Coates Live, CNN included a Getty Images photo of 58-year-old Kelly Vohnn, a well-known Dolly Parton impersonator, in a montage that was supposed to honor the singer.

Vohnn told the New York Post that friends immediately began texting her that she was on CNN.

“I started getting all these texts in from friends saying that I was on CNN, and I couldn’t believe it,” Vohnn said. “I was already heartbroken at losing Dolly because of how much she has given to me as a woman and an artist. But then to see these images of me on screen was just weird.”
