Ben Shapiro is criticized for using a 12-year-old CNN report regarding a custody battle to claim that statements made on this broadcast are merely performance art. The legal argument in that case specifically referred to parodies, such as the "Joker" or "Cookie Monster" sketches, as inadmissible evidence of character. Media outlets are accused of using these instances to create a false choice between supporting Donald Trump or believing the reported facts.
