I have counted as many as 8 anti-Trump stories on CNN’s home page at one time.
Certainly Not News
I would have punched my fist through the monitor before I could have counted to 8.
If Trump wins ( I think he will) CNN will become irrelevant.
Vote Trump 2016
If Trump wins ( I think he will) CNN will become even more irrelevant.
I just take a peak at CNN.com to see what the narrative of the day they are pushing is. Don’t watch or read there garbage.
One now really wonders did one Colin Kaepernick--knowing that his NFL career was soon over--got seduced with a slush fund payment from the Clinton Foundation through a third-party intermediary, possibly a sports agent? If we find out that is the case, then Kaepernick would not only be kicked out of the NFL almost immediately, but face Federal charges of accepting what amounts to an illegal political bribe.
That shows exactly that truth or integrity doesn’t matter...To them, it’s just a job....and a paycheck...
CNN is a total, complete, utter disgrace!
I came to this conclusion many years ago.
She will die alone with her cat!
Alls you need is Dr. Diazapam. Give Queen Cankle a shout out on Twitter. She will hook you up!
A millennia ago.
CNN has really devolved to the point of acting unethically with all its partisanship and propagandizing. The people who run the channel are clearly willing to throw away any pretense of objectivity or of being an actual “news” network in their efforts to bring Trump down. Everyone knows where the folks on MSNBC and FOX stand, but CNN pretends to just “report” on the news—while being the worst propagandizers and manipulators of them all.
The First Amendment does not imply that any journalist - let alone all of them - are objective. Journalists know that their bread and butter is bad news; negativity just oozes from journalism. And yet journalists claim that all journalists are objective.This implies that all journalists think negativity is objectivity. IOW, this implies that all journalists are cynical.
You know who else is cynical? Everyone who believes that
“if you’ve got a business, you didn’t build that - someone else made that happen.”That is, journalists and “liberals” are simpatico for the simple reason that all of them are cynics.DJT has said that he wants to do something about that, and I have a suggestion. The Sherman Antitrust Act is a very short law, basically a one-pager. It does not go into any detail about what constitutes a monopoly, it just bans monopolies. That being so, Adam Smith’s definition is as good as anything:
People of the same trade seldom meet together, even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public, or in some contrivance to raise prices. It is impossible indeed to prevent such meetings, by any law which either could be executed, or would be consistent with liberty and justice. But though the law cannot hinder people of the same trade from sometimes assembling together, it ought to do nothing to facilitate such assemblies; much less to render them necessary. - Adam Smith, Wealth of NationsFor all the trouble we have with “the MSM,” you would think that there must be something like a monopoly going on.The Associated Press arose within a decade after Samuel Morse's 1844 demonstration of the Baltimore-Washington telegraph line. The AP newswire is and always was a virtual meeting of all major journalisms, therefore of all major journalists.
In 1945 SCOTUS found the AP to be in violation of Sherman - but SCOTUS made no attempt to break the AP up. Its mission - the conservation of scarce, expensive bandwidth in the transmission of news - made it “too big to fail” from its inception. The difference in the Internet Era is that communications advances in the past few decades - the fiber optic channels and the microwave links and the communication satellites - have made communications bandwidth no longer “scarce and expensive,” but abundant and very cheap.
The AP - all wire services - have caused journalism to be a monopoly, and should be sued into oblivion.
Don’t watch network TV and don’t read the major newspapers.
I stopped completely in my 30s, my blood pressure has gone down, I’m no longer upset and I feel a lot calmer and happier.
Ditching the MSM can do wonders for one’s health and outlook on life.
We live in a liberal culture.
There’s sludge, pollution and frightful noise.
If I can’t fight back, I tune it out.
