Producers at CNN deemed it necessary to clarify that President Obama is not literally the "founder" of the Islamic State, otherwise known as ISIS, as Donald Trump has claimed several times throughout the campaign.

During a segment Thursday on Trump's latest accusation against Obama and Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton and their role in bolstering the Islamic State, a title screen over video of Trump said, "Trump calls Obama founder of ISIS (He's not)."


Trump made the remark during a campaign rally on Wednesday and the next day in interviews amid new media scrutiny over the accusation, though he has made the claim as far back as January.

Shortly thereafter the CNN title screen, correspondent Dana Bash spoke with anchor Wolf Blitzer to tell him she looked up the word "founder" and deemed Trump's use of it inaccurate.

CNN aired a similar graphic in June calling attention to inconsistent comments Trump made about nuclear proliferation.
