The Great Purge Expands As CNN Sets Its Sights On Fox News’ Cable Providers
Legal Insurrection ^ | January 9, 2021 at 7:30pm | Fuzzy Slippers

CNN: “the TV companies that beam [right media] into millions of homes around the country also bear some responsibility”

The ‘never let a crisis go to waste’ crew are busily turning Wednesday’s Capitol riot into their very own Reichstag fire, using it as the premise by which to ban President Trump across social media and now, apparently, to go after cable companies for being complicit in “spreading disinformation” by giving Fox News a platform.

Lest you be (justifiably) confused by the meaning of “disinformation,” remember that it does not include years of the media and Democrats lying about Russia, Russia, Russia, and it most certainly does not include wild-eyed claims that Trump is a Russian asset. It also does not mean spreading fabulist nonsense about Trump’s response to the Wuhan coronavirus, and it definitely doesn’t mean constantly repeating proven falsehoods (Trump called all Mexicans “rapists,” Trump called actual neo-Nazis “very fine people,” and on and on.).

“Disinformation” means only one thing: anything that does not fit the Democrat narrative. The narrative changes with some frequency, so yesterday’s “fact,” may well be today’s “disinformation.”

To sort it out, just keep in mind that a lie—an absolute provable, demonstrable lie—told by anyone on the left is deemed “truth,” and the actual truth, backed up by facts, if told by anyone on the right is “disinformation,” as is any opinion, policy position, or ideology that veers from the accepted leftist stance.

The left has declared a war on “disinformation,” and that war only starts with Trump’s social media. The next target is Fox News . . . via cable service providers.

CNN has to ratchet up this rhetoric because AT&T, their parent, is going to cut staffing at CNN now that there's no reason to carry them to such a level. Expect the first round to be renegotiating salaries downward.

CNN always lost money for AT&T but AT&T didn't care because they used them for propaganda. Now that they don't need the propaganda anymore, they also don't need to pay anyone more salary than a recent college graduate.

I wonder if Kathryn Murdoch is still so relieved and ecstatic to be rid of the authoritarian Trump.

I won’t care a bit if Fox falls, they brought this on themselves and helped bring it onto us.

Good riddance.

not that i give a fig about fox, but it looks like conservatives need to start their own major social networking sites and keep liberal socialist scum out of it now-

The left have been blatting on and on about how ‘divided this country is because of republicans’, and it’s pure nonsense- the reason we’re divided is because of them, and they know it- so- enough with all this ‘fair and balanced nonsense- they want a divided country? Fine, give em one- and watch them scream about how unfair it is- but always remind them that THEY created it. not us-

If China attacks a USN ship, which side will CNN, Twitter, and Google be on?

Oh, I think we all know the answer to that question. The ChiComs will probably give them exclusive access to film the attack on the “decadent American dogs” right from the Chinese missile sites, to be followed by a live broadcast of parades in Beijing celebrating their victory over the “American imperialists.”

Many here have no idea what Walter Cronkite and CBS did to the heart of the Vietnam War.

The left is a mindless oddity that feeds on derision.

They could care less about countrymen and independence.

“Wasn’t she purged from Fox for some reason? Can’t remember exactly”

A thoroughly enjoyable to watch castration of Juan Williams on live TV is one reason. I don’t recall what show it was, possibly Hannity, but she was gone in a matter of days after it went down.

If they fall enough maybe a Conservative investor group can buy it.

Help out by dumping cable tv. See tagline.

Not true. China’s ultimate goal is our physical land. .............................IMO, Not true, its every ones land they are after. They are grabbing natural resources from all over the world, sucking them out of 3rd world countries at will. We’ve been there before, in the 30’s and early 40’s but with different players, with the same goal. If there is a strategic resource needed, its a target. They want what you have, and they will use any means to get it. Oh, they’ll be nice at first, once the get a grip, they won’t let go easily. History has shown us, but who cares about history anymore?
