Heck, I thought that everyone already knew that the SPLC was discredited by the federal government. For years they just threw whomever and whatever group on the "Hate Map" that they didn't agree with. Obviously, there are real hate groups on it, but at this point I think that is mostly to lend some legitimacy to the rest of the crap they put on it.
CNN isn't exactly known for researching stories (or anchors stories) anyway...LOL!

You know SPLC receives gov't funding...
The SPLC's activities, including litigation, are supported by fundraising efforts, and it does not accept any fees or share in legal judgements awarded to clients it represents in court. Starting in 1974, the SPLC set aside money for its endowment stating that it was "convinced that the day [would] come when non-profit groups [would] no longer be able to rely on support through mail because of posting and printing costs".[106] For 2016, its endowment was approximately $319 million per its annual report and SPLC spent 68% of its revenue on programs.[1]
In 1994 the Montgomery Advertiser published an eight-part critical report on the SPLC, saying that it exaggerated the threat posed by the Klan and similar groups in order to raise money, discriminated against black employees, and used misleading fundraising tactics. The SPLC dismissed the series as a "hatchet job". SPLC's co-founder Joe Levin stated: "The Advertiser's lack of interest in the center's programs and its obsessive interest in the center's financial affairs and Mr. Dees' personal life makes it obvious to me that the Advertiser simply wants to smear the center and Mr. Dees."[citation needed][107] The series was nominated for but did not win a 1995 Pulitzer Prize in Explanatory Journalism. Despite an SPLC campaign against the nomination the series was one of three finalists.[108]
Starting in the 1990s, Ken Silverstein writing in Harper's Magazine and others were critical of the SPLC's fundraising appeals and finances, alleging that the group has used hyperbole and overstated the prevalence of hate groups to raise large amounts of money.[109]
Based on 2015 figures, Charity Navigator rated the SPLC three out of four stars – 80.44 on financial health matters, 97.00 on accountability and transparency, and 86.00 (out of 100) overall; and GuideStar gives the SPLC a Gold-level rating.[110]

Not surprising that CNN would use a group that is on their liberal team, and then try to play it off as legitimate. I don't know how CNN keeps being issues press pass's to anything. They are right up there with the tabloid rags, I'm surprised they are not covering a Trump Alien / Predator conspiracy theory yet.
