It’s no longer a surprise that CNN, aka the Clinton News Network, is doing whatever it can to boost Hillary Clinton for president. It even admitted as much on air.
And its actions in this presidential election continue to remove any doubt one might have had that it’s not to be viewed as an objective news source.
We saw CNN hosts openly toasting and celebrating the Democrat candidate’s nomination. We’ve caught them editing out a Trump t-shirt worn by a hero — so as not to associate Trump with anything other than “deplorables”; just plain making stuff up about Trump; and, of course, a series of “strategic” edits to further its agenda.
On Sunday, the network edited Hillary Clinton’s own words in an attempt to paint her as a more steady, politically correct candidate than Donald Trump — who immediately called the bombing what it was.
And a day later, the Clinton News Network was putting words in Trump’s mouth — one word in particular.
Via The Blaze:
The network falsely quoted Trump as saying “racial profiling” when the candidate said that police should utilize “profiling” in an effort to combat terrorism.

Donald #Trump says "racial profiling" will stop terror. Is he right? @juliettekayyem & James Woolsey offer insights

this is a pattern not a one time event....malice easier to prove when done repeatedly IMO.
You just knocked it out of the park. If you’re paying for cable, you’re subsidizing cnn, msnbc, and the other lying POS networks.
Heck that comment didn’t even come from his rally. He was being interviewed by Fox & FRiends, and they have the tape.
Juliet on twitter says she has “a couple of govt stints”. She is the type we need to root out.
Fox and FRiends was all over like white rice. They were really ticked off since they were the ones doing the interview.
All that is bad but this was a new low for me when Wolf Blitzer was interviewing Rand Paul about his proposal to stop arming SA:
Wolf Blitzer Is Worried Defense Contractors Will Lose Jobs if U.S. Stops Arming Saudi Arabia

Actually, the Leftist media has been doing something like this for generations. Having few if any legitimate arguments; they have to make their case by deceptive practices. Yes, they really do try to fictionalize the narrative. They have no moral compass that requires fairness.
They need to swing from a rope.
Also, the majority Pashtun people of Afghanistan are Caucasian.
I suppose now we're racist against white people.
Ditto that. It would probably be impossible to win a libel case based on selective editing as long as CNN was just taking things out. But falsely attributing a word, especially a highly charged word, and presenting this as a direct quote is a clear, and clearly malicious, fabrication. Trump should sue for enough to bankrupt CNN. If CNN wants to settle for an apology, Trump should demand a detailed on-air apology every night from now until election day.
There are many types of profiling. And many tactics of offender profiling. These nit wits in the MSM should know this, but they are so biased and ready to slander and deceive. This is why I don’t watch the news anymore.

They don't license and regulate rates, but they absolutely DO have authority under the Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992.
They can unbundle cable TV subscriptions, which will put a stop to this crap.
in days of old days, of bold they would be tarred and feathered and run out of business
Don’t watch CNN — let their ratings fall all the way to the bottom.
He should buy them out, fire the whole lot and start with hiring only conservative newscasters. If there are any.
Just boycott the living p*ss out of them. Do not watch their channel, do no visit their websites, do not watch their ads, avoid anything even remotely connected to CNN
