Hey, CNN’s Chris Cuomo.

Why don’t you and your ‘news’ organization try this for a change:

Just don’t lie to us.

Don’t substitute your DNC-approved talking points and your leftist opinions for truthful reporting.

Do not present a story that only tells your blinkered ‘narrative’.

Hire some independent thinkers (or maybe start by hiring some thinkers first - if, unlike typical ‘news’ readers and writers at a place like CNN, they possess ‘critical thinking skills’ and ‘inquisitive minds’, they will not be able to avoid independent thinking).

Learn to tell the difference between politics, religion, and factual reporting.

Stop treating ‘Republican’ and ‘Conservative’ and ‘white heterosexual male’ as synonyms for ‘evil’, ‘Nazi’, ‘misogynist’, ‘hater’,’immigrant-hating’, ‘extremist’, ‘wrong’, ‘racist’, ‘homophobic’, ‘Islamophobic’,’oppressors’, insert your favorite ugly-false-leftist-name-calling-name-here.

Also stop treating ‘Democrat’, ‘Liberal’, ‘Progressive’, ‘Clinton’, ‘Obama’,’illegal immigrant’,’African American’, ‘Muslim’, ad-nauseum as if they are synonyms for ‘enlightened’, ‘virtuous’, ‘smart’, ‘good’, ‘intelligent’, ‘correct’, ‘unchallengeable’,’victims’, etc.

Is that so hard to understand?

Yeah, I know - this is CNN’s Chris Cuomo that I’m talking to. Of course it’s hard (or impossible) for him to understand.

I remember CNN during the first Iraq war, broadcasting an image of an American soldier aiming his weapon around a corner of a building and a veiled woman woman walking into the point of aim. CNN made it look like a bloodthirsty American was going to mow her down. That was an improper presentation of the U.S. role in Iraq.

> I wonder if he or anyone else at at CNN ever considered just TELLING THE TRUTH??? too easy?

Not profitable enough. Soros doesn't pay them to tell the truth.

And yet an Italian is an Italian by any other name. A journalist has a choice to stay a fake news hack or report the truth.

In a different world, where CNN had succeeded in becoming part of the state media of the permanently controlling Party, calling out fake news would be an criminal offense. See Union, Soviet, 1917-1989.

You wouldn’t be called out on fake news if you were honest and told the truth. The only solution would be to be honest and be truthful. I’ll bet that never occurred to them.

Just a guess here, but it seems to me that it’s the same thing as being called a fraud. Not hard to figure that out.

Remember when talking heads complained “socialist” was the new “N-word” when it was being used to describe Obama? People pooh-poohed it - and stopped referring to Obama as a socialist.

Let’s not lose that battle again...

If you don’t like the term, Chris, stop putting out fake news! Problem solved!
