I do not know who this person is, who is trying to impersonate cnn, but it's probably a child or someone with the mind of a child.
This kind of fake article is obviously some kind of revenge tactic against stake, for whatever reason. I would say the same person who wrote this article is posting now on this forum, trying to get people's attention. Why do I think this? Because its a two day old article from a nobody medium account and 0 attention. How did OP find it so easily?
Stake could press charges for defamation and cnn could join in and press charges against using their name. Kids on the internet really think that they are anonymous until the letter from the lawyer comes, lol.
