CNN recently promoted the story of a "mom" of three young children who was nervous about being evicted amid the federal eviction moratorium. CNN reporter Nick Watt caught up with Dasha Kelly last week for a story on the recent eviction moratorium lapse. However, it turns out Kelly isn’t the mother of the three young children used throughout CNN’s reporting. She says she originally described herself to CNN as a mother because she considers herself to be like one to them," a correction added to CNN’s online report said. CNN’s online version of the story was initially headlined, "More than $170,000 raised in 24 hours for mother and three kids facing eviction."
