Arianna Huffington blasts CNN over misleading headline
Donald Trump is known for calling CNN "fake news," and now Arianna Huffington has joined the party.
The Uber board member criticized the cable news network during an Uber conference call on Tuesday over what she called a misleading headline.

During the conference call Tuesday, Huffington answered a question about sexism at the ride-sharing company and in the same breath called out CNN for its since-corrected headline that originally paraphrased her saying, "Sexism at Uber isn't systemic."
Huffington clearly thinks the publication took her out of context.
"First of all, as you may have seen, CNN corrected that headline. That's not what I said. The word 'sexist' was never mentioned in the interview by me or by the interviewer," Huffington said on the call. "The ultimate decision of what is or isn't a systemic problem will be from Eric Holder [hired to run the investigation] and the investigation which we hope will be completed by the end of April."
She said CNN had since corrected the headline.
The story's headline is now: "Arianna Huffington: Sexual harassment isn't a 'systemic problem' at Uber," with an editor's note at the bottom that says, "The headline of this article has been changed to more accurately reflect that Huffington's answers were about sexual harassment."
Despite the headline change and note, Huffington doesn't seem like she can let go.
