This is super old.
Here's a wiki with more info on it.
I'm not saying this isn't important, but your headline is really misleading.
She doesn't work for CNN
This happened in 2012
The video you see was taken from an interview on infowars.

so... why is this post so highly rated still? Are people only reading the titles now? I thought that was a problem reserved for reddit

No it's still quite the issue here.
People don't read the articles and there aren't any mods to tag/remove them accordingly.

The source may be old, but the issue is very current. It was just last month that various political entities launched a crusade against "fake news" sources that were reporting stories that did not paint "the party" in a particularly favorable light (i.e. they were telling the truth), but this censorship does not include sources such as CNN that actually are producing "real" fake news. I believe OP is just reminding everyone that long ago it was already established that CNN produces fake news. It's up to you to figure out that nobody is calling for their censorship.
