THIS IS CNN: CNN Analyst Joe Lockhart Fabricates Story About GOP Senators Talking Impeachment.

It’s hard to keep track of all the fake news, these days. It seems covering for Democrats lying isn’t good enough for CNN anymore; now, their analysts arehelping the Democrats’ impeachment effort by fabricating stories themselves. Case in point? Wednesday, CNN analyst Joe Lockhart tweeted an appalling conversation he overheard between two Republican Senators during that day’s impeachment trial, only to admit later that he had made the whole thing up.

The best suggestion I ever heard was CNN at the airport TVs should be able to turn the thing off for fifteen minutes by depositing a quarter. That would pretty much be the end of CNN.

The Chairman of the Board of ATT, owner of CNN, is negligent with respect to protecting the interests of stockholders. CNN’s share of audience continues to decline under the leadership of Jeff Zucker. The network is frequently caught fabricating the news which leads to distrust of the CNN brand and may be a major factor in CNN losing market share.

If the free market were working, Zucker would have been fired long ago for running the network into the ground and costing ATT shareholders millions of dollars in lost revenue and profit. However, we live in an age of oligopolies where a few giant media companies, in partnership with big government, spew propaganda and control communications to the public. Profits are subordinate to the political and social agenda of the oligopolists and their allies and academia and politics.

Oligopolies are a threat to free markets in the economic sphere and in the marketplace for ideas. It is long past time for the anti-trust laws to be employed to break up the big media companies. Free markets thrive when there are many competitors. Free markets die when there are few players.

If you are an ATT stockholder, write to Chairman of the Board Randall L. Stephenson asking him why he is tolerating poor performance from his CNN division. Make the argument economic, not political. Ask him why he is permitting management to damage the CNN brand by creating fake stories instead of reporting the news.

Good Comments. I have wondering for some time why ATT puts up with CNN. I have felt for awhile that hey eventually would sell it, but the way things are going, its’ value keeps sliding.

The proggies running and staffing CNN will not “hit bottom” until they have triggered CWII, got America burning and see imported, UN-directed, foreign military ops confiscating our guns.
