What exactly did CNN lie about?
None | 2/25/2017 | Self

What did CNN lie about that got them locked out of the press meeting with Mr. Spicer?

I know that they heavily bias, incompetent, devious, and gave Hillary the debate questions.

They lied, first and foremost, about being objective.

99% of their daily output consists of (picture them with pom-poms, shaken back-and-forth in unison, around a harrumph-harrumph seminar table) going:

“Trump sucks, Trump sucks, Trump sucks, Trump sucks, Trump sucks, Trump sucks, Trump sucks, Trump sucks, Trump sucks, Trump sucks, Trump sucks, Trump sucks, Trump sucks, Trump sucks, Trump sucks, Trump sucks, Trump sucks, Trump sucks, Trump sucks, Trump sucks, Trump sucks, Trump sucks, Trump sucks, Trump sucks, Trump sucks, Trump sucks, Trump sucks, Trump sucks, Trump sucks, Trump sucks, Trump sucks, Trump sucks, Trump sucks, Trump sucks, Trump sucks, Trump sucks, Trump sucks, Trump sucks, Trump sucks, Trump sucks...”

Next show: see above.

Yesterday afternoon in the office break area I saw Der Blitzed Wolf blabbing about impeaching Donald Trump already but didn’t not bother to wait or immediately grasp what the offense had been.

I haven’t seen any looming impeachment articles regarding trump on FR.

Was THIS the sin that Wolfy was wee-weed up about?!!!

and no, I am not trying to stir up B.S. It was an honest question. There are so many lies out there, that is gets difficult to know where they originated from.

However, you are the origin of the lie you just said about me being banned. You sound demented in response.

I hear a lot of liberals saying that Trump will be impeached. They don’t say why though.

I remember when obama came into office, we all hoped that he would. However, I at least had a reason; it was because I didn’t believe, and still do not believe he is a natural born citizen.

Most lies contain mostly facts, but it is the way in which the facts are arranged that speak to the full understanding of any given story or situation.

When you listen to radio news, you can tell whether the news writer is showing a bias or not. When you watch a news program, you notice a raised eyebrow or inflection of the voice that tells you where the news reader’s sympathies lie.

The Bible warns against sowing dissension among believers so as to maintain a unified faith among the flock. But in secular circles, dissension is maybe one of the biggest tools in the prevaricator’s bag of tools. What liberal leaning MSM does is not out and out lie, (that is, on a regular basis or to the degree that the lie is readily seen as a lie) no, whet they do is post a story with mostly all facts, but then they arrange the facts so as to slant the story one one direction, i.e., to cause confusion and clammer among their opposition.

There is coming a day or reckoning for all liars, those who use the lie for personal and political gain... if one such lier does not repent of his lying and trust in the one who gave his life to pay for the penalty for our sin, the one, Jesus Christ, he will be cast into the lake of fire.

Pretty funny,

It seems like they all do this, except FOX.

That is a very good point. It is like when the serpent told Eve that she would not die. He knew she would die, but not immediately (He left that part out).

Your comment is what precisely I am getting at. These media outlets are clearly biased and dishonest, but rarely get caught in a purely fabricated lie. Their intention is the same of a lie, and that it is to mislead someone from the truth.

You better back off. I have a leash on me right now, and the guy you’re bashing only has to tell me he took it off.

We're way beyond any compromise of any kind with the MSM. They have literally brainwashed a generation of Americans into believing lies from the liberal leftists. I saw that first hand while teaching school for MANY years. The youth I taught often had parents who did not concern themselves with spiritual values and the children learned most of what they knew about life, politics, etc. from the media...and it was a bunch of lies. VERY difficult to unravel that tangled web.

The entire media procedure must go back to the "Who, What, Where, When, Why and How" like it is supposed to be and they MUST keep their editorial commentary and opinions out of the mix unless it is CLEARLY labeled as such. As a teacher, when I crossed the line and inserted conservative commentary in the classroom, I was dismissed just for upholding conservative, Biblical values. The media can NOT be allowed to spread Godless, immoral values represented as "news" any longer, no matter what it takes.

The didn’t get locked out. They simply weren’t invited to join a gaggle while several other news sites were.

Including the press pool.

Well, first, they didn't get locked out of anything. There was a pool presser which was limited, and was held in the Press Secretary's office. A few other organizations were invited, not NYT, WAPO or CNN.

Second, the DNC is not invited to pressers. It stands to reason their wholly owned media organs, NYT, WAPO and CNN should also not be invited.

I am not bashing anybody. I certainly do not intend to fight or insult anyone at all.

LOL, your leash . . . keyboard warrior. This was meant to be a friendly discussion.

I appreciate this response more than your previous. I appreciate criticism, opinions and even a lecture. I don’t like some of the insults, I received on here, but oh well, perhaps they were warranted.

This is was what another person was telling me. That there is no point in compromising. Basically my exercise here in gathering bold face lies that CNN has made is worthless. No matter how many facts will prove our case, they will never listen. We all know that CNN is a bunch of liars along with the rest.

I cannot imagine what it was like for you to teach. My best friend teaches middle school math. He is a Christian, and used to run the on campus pray group. The school board keeps moving him further and further away from where he lives. I think they are trying to force him to retire. He was actually my 8th grade science teacher when he was straight out of college.

Like another Freeper said, lies almost always have a partial element of truth. an honest person would have explain precisely how such matters are handled to give the viewer insight into what happened. But of course, CNN and the others, always seem to leave that part out of the story.

Yes. When you use their terminology, you're walking in to a trap.

What's a lie? Well, it can be a misstatement of fact; if I ask my teenager what time they got home, and they give a false answer, that's a lie.

The same definition does not hold for narratives, such as 'journalists' provide. A lie can be by stated falsehood or by omission. A narrative that leaves a misleading impression by either commission or omission is a lie.

You are right, if I just subscribe to the rigid definition of a lie as being simply a statement that is 100% false, then I won’t do well with them. I agree, their whole narrative is false, so it just makes them a bunch of liars.

CNN should not be allowed through the WH gate. Let them stand in the gutter and report their lies.
