CNN is incapable of checking facts. CNN lies about everything. CNN == Fake News.

"CNN Fact check: No, African Americans are not happy with Trump"

Fun with punctuation:

Remove comma:

CNN Fact check: No African Americans are not happy with Trump.

Any American with half a functioning brain will not be tuning in to the CNN coverage of the Democrat Party 2020 POTUS debates tonight and tomorrow evening...period!!!

Here is a fact for CNN and perfect support for your statement.

CNN's total audience is less than 2 tenths of 1% of the U.S. population.

With a decent dialing app you could probably call more people than that in one day on your phone. lol

CNN: “Blacks MUST stay on the Master’s Plantation. How do you expect to EAT, if you leave the Master’s Plantation?”

RE: CNN Fact check: No African Americans are not happy with Trump.

HA HA nice catch. But that’s a bit of a stretch.... unless you exclude the likes of Elijah Cummings and Al Sharpton among African Americans ...

Fenced in by the parameters of that group-think ideology called Progressivism, CNN's talking heads and their hand-picked "guests" may portray themselves as the "intellectual" elite, but they seem to be totally bereft of any real knowledge or understanding of the great ideas which were the seedbed of Ameria's successful 200-year experiment in liberty.

Today's liberals, especially the so-called "progressives," with all of their domination of academia and Far Left politics, also seem to fit into a category described in an essay by T.S. Eliot on Virgil:

"In our time, when men seem more than ever to confuse wisdom with knowledge and knowledge with information and to try to solve the problems of life in terms of engineering, there is coming into existence a new kind of provincialism which perhaps deserves a new name. It is a provincialism not of space but of time--one for which history is merely a chronicle of human devices which have served their turn and have been scrapped, one for which the world is the property solely of the living, a property in which the dead hold no share."(Bold added for emphasis)

Without intellectual anchoring in the enduring ideas which provided the philosophical foundation of America's Declaration of Independence and Constitution, their vain imaginations of superiority only expose their limited world view.

Yet, the America which rose from obscurity to greatness, from crude hoes and axes to putting a man on the moon, and from oppression by King George to a symbol of liberty for millions all over the world--that America provides shelter for them, even as they attempt to "change" her into something unimagined by the Founders.

If they are allowed to succeed in their own little provincial experiment, their posterity never will know the "blessings of Liberty" proclaimed by the Preamble to America's Constitution.

Now would be a good time for conservatives to read Dr. Russell Kirk's "The Conservative Mind, which can be read online, by the way.

In Kirk's last chapter he reviews the works of poets and writers, quoting lines which now seem to bear a strikinig resemblance to the players on the stage in American politics today.

For instance, in Robert Frost's "A Case for Jefferson," Frost writes of the character Harrison:

"Harrison loves my country too
But wants it all made over new.
. . . .
He dotes on Saturday pork and beans.
But his mind is hardly out of his teens.
With him the love of country means
Blowing it all to smithereens
And having it made over new."

Yes, the pseudointellectuals who occupy the White House, the media, and much of Congress fancy themselves "intellectuals."

By their words and actions, however, they display that provinciality Dr. Kirk recalls as having been described by T. S. Eliot (see above) as being one of time and place, having no intellectual grounding in ideas older than their own little experience in dabbling and discussing Mao, Marx, and other theoreticians.

America's written Constitution deserves protectors whose minds are out of their "teens" in terms of their understanding of civilization's long struggle for liberty.

It certainly deserves protectors who do not consider it a "flawed" document because that Constitution does not permit the government it structures to run rough shod over the rights of its "KEEPERS, the People" (Justice Story).

Blasting it "all to smithereens" seems to be the goal of the Far Left

Shep Smith at Fox must have done some “fact” checking as well, because he declared there isn’t any evidence that Trumps claim is true.

CNN reports suburban women who don’t like his tweets, African Americans, millennials, New Age types,seniors who were former antiwar people,pro choice advocates, Hollywood people, TV people, Silicon Valley and national tech people,new immigrants,Latinos,low income people, LGBTQs,college students and professors,labor union members and leaders,journalists and residents of urban areas——
all will vote against President Trump in 2020.

Guess that just leaves FR. We’d better not miss Election Day./s

Unless CNN cannot be relied upon. That’s possible./s

".... as he [Trump] left for a speech in Virginia that was boycotted by black state lawmakers...."

White Virginia governor caught wearing black face and doesn't resign. No boycott by state lawmakers.

Black Virginia Lt. Governor accused of sexual assault and he doesn't resign. No boycott by state lawmakers.

And black state lawmakers are boycotting Trump's speech?

This is so rich with irony and hypocrisy, it's dripping off the page.

LIBs are unrepentant, hopeless reprobates. They also are ALL mentally ill to varying degrees. They are hopeless malignancies on civil society anywhere.

Maybe black citizens in Baltimore ARE happy with the way their community looks...

Maybe black citizens are OK living in a city with the highest murder rate of any city in the United States.

What if CNN is right? What if it REALLY is racist to see the truth of human suffering?

Trump is brave... How many fingers Winston? How many lights Picard? Trump’s not backing down.

Figure 80% of AAs will vote for the Democratic nominee. Still a big shift in favor of the other side from 8%. Alternative headline, Republican support set to rise by 150%.
