Tensions rise at CNN as the network aims for Trump

CNN is taking an increasingly negative approach toward its coverage of President-elect Trump, causing at least some tension within the network, inside sources told the Washington Examiner.

.
Another source at CNN said they felt "certain targeting of certain people" and that "this kind of targeting isn't fair by their own employer."

A spokesperson for CNN did not respond to a request for comment.

This kind of biased idiocy helped Trump win the Presidency.

CNN, from what I have seen, is becoming rapidly the most biased anti-conservative fake news channel on the dial.

More than PMSNBC, more than the rapidly deteriorating Fox, and it is little wonder that CNN is apparently now LAST in the ratings for that sector of the cable audience.

Now what I would like to see is President Trump promote the idea of ALA CARTE cable/satellite channel selection by the free market—the consumers, specifically—so that we can CHOOSE which cable stations we want for news, sports, etc.

You’ll see, I think, these liberal piles of tripe die quickly.

Or they will change and stop doing fake news and start doing journalism.

One America News Network is a new news channel...a bit conservative, but a better alternative if one wants to shower off after hearing the bias on CNN.

Insanely biased reporting has destroyed the MSM’s credibility. The public has become desensitized to the mindless raving that will dominate the MSM for the next four years.

People’s trust in the media erodes because most people see them as propagandistic leftist stooges. So what’s their solution? Attack Trump even more!

It’s similar to the situation with leftists in general. America rejects them for being a bunch of worthless, destructive dopes - so they go out and throw a collective tantrum, retreat to their safe spaces and try everything possible to overturn the election. Yeah... good way to win the people back there, morons.

**************
The liberals at CNN are totally blind to this. There is no way they will ever admit it.

Liberals have a unique ability to ignore reality.

I don't see how they can increase over 100%, but okay.

"CNN has always pledged to hold Trump accountable and that's what we should be doing,"...

If CNN would hold Trump as accountable as they held obama accountable, it would be amazing.

CNN’s fighting their way to the bottom... Yes, they’ve always been biased but they’re moving into ‘hate’...

Its really a weirdly fascinating phenomenon to watch. Liberals always double down on their misguided stupidity.

Soon they’ll be doing 2 minutes of hate twice a day just to make it obvious even to them.

Complicit CNN faked its own death....dumping Brazile and so did the DNC. CNN will never overcome the outing of its onetime talking head Donna Brazile..... admitting to coaching Hillary from debate questions that "just fell into her lap accidentally."

======================================================

Donald? No.

But here's a looksee at people the MSM and Dems deem entirely "acceptable". Course you may have to pony up ten million bucks to the Clinton Foundation to get on the "approved" list (smirk).

TIME MAG EXCERPT: Clinton is returning to a brutal contest with a skeptical audience at a critical time.

<><> New revelations about the Clinton Foundation’s dealings during her time at the State Department, while showing no evidence corrupt actions, have dogged her.

<><> She was criticized for maintaining a distance from the press.

<><> Despite the millions that Clinton has spent on advertising and Trump’s wide unpopularity, her lead over Trump diminished from 7 points in early August to just 3 points(and in some cases 6 points) as of today.

<><> She held just two public events in the two weeks before Labor Day weekend, a close look at her campaign’s schedule shows, while hosting 20 fundraisers..... from East Hampton to Silicon Valley, rubbing elbows with Cher, Paul McCartney Jimmy Buffet and Apple CEO Tim Cook.

<><> She took photo booth snapshots in Hollyood with Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel

<><> She stayed overnight at the home of media mogul Haim Saban, who has given $10 million to Clinton’s super PAC.
