MRC's Gainor: CNN Must Drop Kathy Griffin As Host ‘If It Wants To Pretend It’s a Real News Network’
Breitbart News ^ | 31 May 2017 | by Dan Riehl

Posted on 05/31/2017 9:40:04 AM PDT by drewh

The Media Research Center’s Vice President of Business and Culture, Dan Gainor, spoke with Breitbart News Daily SiriusXM host Raheem Kassam on Wednesday regarding media coverage of Trump abroad, how the left targets conservative shows’ advertisers, the latest Kathy Griffin fiasco, as well as other topics in the news.

Said Gainor on Griffin, given her long-standing connection to CNN, “If CNN wants to pretend it’s a real news network, which is at this point only a pretense, they can’t have somebody like that on. They just can’t.”

Gainor continued, “The rest of her career, she’s going to have her career. everybody has free speech. If what she did was illegal … that’s up to the Secret Service and Department of Justice…. I certainly want them investigating. She could be unhinged … or was this an attempt to incite. That’s a different issue. But her connection to a neutral news organization, that’s what’s at issue.”

Gainor added that he couldn’t understand CNN already having come to a decision given the broad negative reaction to the Griffin photo.

Breitbart News Daily airs on SiriusXM Patriot 125 weekdays from 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. Eastern.

CNN or MSNBC will probably give her own show.

Not just Griffin
The entire production staff — photographer, producer, artist.
The network has created the atmosphere that accepts this

LMAO here. CNN is just a media front for Buzz Feed. CNN takes Fake News, gossip and trash and airs it.

Really this Kathy Griffin sleaze-wad is a perfect fit for their image.

She just went a step or two farther than CNN has been doing since the election.

I saw this yesterday around 7:30pm EST. Was this also released by Kathy Griffen or did someone just alter the photo to make an animated GIF? How could someone move her arm from a still photo and make the jacket move and wrinkle in the right places? Same with the shadows present of the head as it moves. Was this also done by Griffen? If so why is no one talking about THIS?

Even if CNN “must” drop our dear Kathy, they won’t just for this. She will have to do something REALLY egregious, like set fire to their home offices and do really gross bodily functions while serving on the panel during live broadcasts.

Hard to imagine how much more egregious our Kathy could be, though.

CNN = Now Officially A Terror Organization

This is if CNN keeps her. After all that is what Kathy is pushing.

She has those cold eyes and looks Satanic.

If Barron saw this video then he really would be having nightmares for years. I hope the Trump file a lawsuit after she is in prison.

I expect so.

I'm beginning to think Ms. Griffin is going to make millions off this.

If the MSM-Democrats let her sink over this, they will lose credibility as an agent that can invert reality and jam filth down the throats of the population.

They can't let that happen. They can't afford to give up an inch of that credibility, because their big behind-the-scenes globalist benefactors will quit giving them financial support if they lose effectiveness as a reality-inversion tool.

I knew CNN was an enemy propaganda machine back in 1999 with its mis-coverage of the Kosovo War!!!!

Some of the rest of you have been playing catch-up in the last three years or so!

Neutral news organization. That’s a good one. What, are they trying to replace the Comedy Network?

Simple. They don't want the precedent of having to fire a liberal over the consequences of their outrageous actions.

We haven't seen a mainstream network fire a liberal since ABC fired Bill Maher over his comment that American soldiers were "cowards" for dropping bombs from 50,000 feet.

For the record, I should have said "celebrity" liberals, since I'm not including journalists like Brian Williams, and political insiders like Van Jones.

I saw on Twitter that ADT has already dropped advertising on CNN because of it.
