Investigative journalist John Solomon calls out CNN reporter for using the term "right wing" to describe him
Twitter ^ | June 1 | John Solomon

@jsolomonReports

Oliver. @CNN:

Why do you use the term “right wing” for me? It’s offensive because it has been used for evil people like McVeigh. I’m just a reporter like you. Actually I was a lot more factual during Russia collusion then many of our colleagues. Could you knock off the character assassination? It is unbecoming for a media reporter.

So, Solomon is basically saying that right wing people are all Timothy McVeigh?

No, he’s trying to bat down the media’s rhetorical trick of linking all conservatives with Timothy McVeigh. The term “right-wing” should be retired. It’s a Communist invention to falsely group Nazis with anyone who is not a socialist.

Exactly! Stalin and other socialists want to hide the fact that the Nazis and Fascists were in fact also socialists.

The National Socialists were to the right of the International Communists.

Why not simply reciprocate by consistently calling CNN News a "leftist organization" and the CNN reporter in question a "propagandist?"

Works for me!

Solomon is ‘right wing’.

Darcy is ‘wrong wing’.

Wear it like a badge.

Socialist? Why yes, it’s right there in their name...

Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (National Socialist German Workers’ Party, NSDAP), for convenience and concealment, shortened to “NAZI”.

And which extreme of the political spectrum always includes “workers” in their party names?

Yes, as always it’s the left, which for decades has continuously pushed the lie that Nazism is a far right phenomenon.

No, he's saying that's how CNN filth uses the term.

Here's a term you've NEVER heard used on CNN: "Leftwing"..,

It only exposes their thinking and the reason for it. They assume all ‘journalists’ have a left/right bias, AS THEY DO, so they feel compelled to disclose it to their audience. It’s just code for “don’t take him seriously, he’s ‘right wing’”. So when you hear this, it just confirms you’re listening to a leftist moron.

It was kind of Solomon to use the word “journalist” to describe a CNN democrat cheerleader.

Anyone tracking how many times CNN uses the term “right wing” versus “left wing?”
