'It is the end of CNN!' Did Trump just terminate cable news giant?
WND ^ | 07/06/2017 | Chelsea Schilling

Limbaugh: 'How can you not laugh at them? They've become a national joke'

Perhaps most Americans never thought they’d see the day when cable news giant CNN became completely irrelevant, obsolete and even extinct.

But President Trump is waging a full-blown war with CNN, and – when it’s all said and done – CNN will be wiped off the news map, according to talk-radio king Rush Limbaugh.

Yes, that day is finally here, he said, and it’s making a whole bunch of people nervous.

‘It is the end of CNN’

Thomas Jefferson's views on the importance of a free press are well known. Nevertheless, Jefferson was well aware of the dark under belly of a segment of the press which might set itself up, as he called it, "to serve the ministers" of a "despotic government."

Note that in the last of the following quotations on the subject, Jefferson noted, "But the fact being once established, that the press is impotent when it abandons itself to falsehood," he declared, "I leave to others to restore it to its strength by recalling it within the pale of truth."

"[A despotic] government always [keeps] a kind of standing army of newswriters who, without any regard to truth or to what should be like truth, [invent] and put into the papers whatever might serve the ministers. This suffices with the mass of the people who have no means of distinguishing the false from the true paragraphs of a newspaper." --Thomas Jefferson to G. K. van Hogendorp, Oct. 13, 1785. (*) ME 5:181, Papers 8:632

"[I have seen] repeated instances of the publication of what has not been intended for the public eye, and the malignity with which political enemies torture every sentence from me into meanings imagined by their own wickedness only... Not fearing these political bull-dogs, I yet avoid putting myself in the way of being baited by them, and do not wish to volunteer away that portion of tranquillity, which a firm execution of my duties will permit me to enjoy." --Thomas Jefferson to John Norvell, 1807. ME 11:226

"Conscious that there was not a truth on earth which I feared should be known, I have lent myself willingly as the subject of a great experiment, which was to prove that an administration, conducting itself with integrity and common understanding, cannot be battered down even by the falsehoods of a licentious press, and consequently still less by the press as restrained within the legal and wholesome limits of truth. This experiment was wanting for the world to demonstrate the falsehood of the pretext that freedom of the press is incompatible with orderly government. I have never, therefore, even contradicted the thousands of calumnies so industriously propagated against myself. But the fact being once established, that the press is impotent when it abandons itself to falsehood, I leave to others to restore it to its strength by recalling it within the pale of truth. Within that, it is a noble institution, equally the friend of science and of civil liberty." --Thomas Jefferson to Thomas Seymour, 1807. ME 11:155

“Do you really think,” it was asked on Fox News, “do you really think this could be the end of CNN?”

It is the end of CNN. …

That’s a nice start. I just pray President Trump can do the same to Obamacare.

Anderson Cooper is on his CNN show right now.

I am sure next week Trump will be talking about CNN because they won’t be shut down.

Lone Palm, your talents could be put to use here. The Doors, of course...I could almost do this one:

This is the end, beautiful friend
This is the end, my only friend, the end
Of our elaborate plans, the end
Of everything that stands, the end
No safety or surprise, the end
I’ll never look into your eyes, again

Can you picture what will be, so limitless and free
Desperately in need, of some, stranger’s hand
In a, desperate land

Lost in a Roman wilderness of pain
And all the children are insane, all the children are insane
Waiting for the summer rain, yeah
There’s danger on the edge of town
Ride the King’s highway, baby
Weird scenes inside the gold mine
Ride the highway west, baby
Ride the snake, ride the snake
To the lake, the ancient lake, baby
The snake is long, seven miles

Ride the snake, he’s old, and his skin is cold
The west is the best, the west is the best
Get here, and we’ll do the rest
The blue bus is callin’ us, the blue bus is callin’ us
Driver, where you taken us

What’s the lesson here? Don’t F with Trump. The people said enough is enough with the liberal BS in this country when they elected him. We ARE fighting back now! The swamp will be drained, the commie propaganda network that’s been going on for decades is being rebelled against. We ARE taking our country back from the brink and if enemies of that don’t like it? Well that’s tooooooooo bad LOL LOL LOL!

When CNN first went on the air Ted Turner declared that it would NEVER sign off. It was going to be on FOREVER, as long as humanity existed.

Turner was so serious about it that he had the final broadcast of CNN ready to broadcast: a military band playing "Nearer My God To Thee". It is still in CNN's system, with orders to hold until "end of the world is confirmed". So theoretically seconds before the atom bombs hit the remaining CNN staff would confirm that the missiles were inbound, they would not be stopped and humanity was moments from extinction. Then they would let the tape play and CNN would at last fade to black.

The way things are looking, CNN may not make it to the end of 2017, much less to Armageddon.

Turn on your closed captioning if not on....We did not make this buyt we howled our heads off...on the floor crying. This wins the dankest internet meme award for certain...Goodbye CNN...

Update: Word is that CNN Doxxed the wrong meme warrior. The original meme, the one tweeted by Trump was done in Mexico by a Mexican citizen back in January according to sources close to the situation.

All Trump did is turn there own crap back on them.
They made it easy by exposing their true motives.

Special thanks to O’Keefe and good investigatory reporting.

CNN should try some of that. (The truth would kill them)

I don't think CNN is done, Libs are amazingly stupid, they will still watch. They will still believe, they have a lot of faith in lies because of their father. (Satan)
