I’m not certain if the author is being serious or facetious. I suspect the latter. Hopefully. To rely on CNN for defining anything is a fool’s errand. CNN, for the last 20 years, spouted the rubbish (really just regurgitating government press releases as news), that America was winning in Iraq and Afghanistan. CNN is averaging about three hundred thousand viewers per day in the US. That should show anyone that not many people are taking them seriously. Combine that with the fact that they hire mainly ex-CIA and ex-Pentagon mouthpieces as journalists, and that should tell you all need to know about the credibility of CNN.

I differ on China's motivation. I believe China intended to emasculate Biden - and succeeded.

Besides people who forgot to bring reading material or a electronic device to the airport, who else watches CNN in the USA anymore? Yes, it serve(d) a function, but I suspect even CNN forgot what that was.

How do we even know that it was indeed a Chinese balloon? Maybe it was a balloon made in China, like everything else, but released by US military? I love a good conspiracy theories. Seeing how hard the bastards are trying to start a WW3 I am inclined to believe that indeed it was US military's work, to blame it on China. Either that, or Chinese control the wind.
