New White House Seating for the Press...

I'm wondering how the CNN fans and liberals will react to the recent revelation that CNN has been creating completely fake news for them for six months. So I"m imagining how I'd feel if the same thing happened to me.
Imagine you've been following Breitbart for six months about a scandal that you just know has to be true like Fast and Furious. Day after day they release news from unnamed sources, and it seems that an Obama impeachment is just around the corner. Finally after six months, film producer Michael Moore reveals on hidden camera video that they have a top producer from Breitbart new admitting the entire scandal is basically "Bull S***" but it's great for the ratings.
Would you be angry with Michael Moore? Would you continue to tune in to Breitbart to get your news just the same?
Buddy, you lost me.
The Thrill Is Gone
feat. Muddy Waters
from Mr. B.B. King
The thrill is gone
The thrill is gone away
The thrill is gone, baby
The thrill is gone away
You know you done me wrong, baby
And you’ll be sorry someday
The thrill is gone
It’s gone away from me
The thrill is gone, baby
The thrill is gone away from me
Although, I’ll still live on
But so lonely I’ll be
The thrill is gone
It’s gone away for good
All the thrill is gone
Baby, it’s gone away for good
Someday I know I’ll be open-armed baby
Just like I know, I know I should
You know, I’m free, free now, baby
I’m free from your spell
Oh, free, free, free now, baby
I’m free from your spell
And now that it’s all over
All that I can do is wish you well

The liberals don’t care. I sent the CNN links to a liberal friend of mine. He said....
“At least they resigned and left professionally. tRump says it’s ok to grab women by the pu$$y.”
They change the narrative when they don’t understand what to do. I said: “It doesn’t matter if they resigned professionally or left kicking and screaming. They wrote a false story, published and got caught lying.”
The friend said:
“Maybe tRump should release his taxes. He’s lying about some Russia connections in there. Do you think the right wing media is lilly white?”
God help us.
Yeah, and how would I react if my dog lied to me?
It’s entertainment and its bogging trump down....i.e. They won’t care...
.anyone with half a brain knows the Russia story is either bogus or blown out of proportion
Do you think the right wing media is lilly white?” ................... Errrrrr? which media would that be? Just a couple of voices vs. thousands that feed us leftist propaganda?
I eliminated every liberal in my life about 20 years ago and have never felt better for not having to "deal" with them at all.
No matter what the Liberal will never accept that which is not as it believes it is.
yep, for those with a severe case of TDS, only an intervention will do - most like requiring a lobotomy and/or a phototropic drug regimen.
You can see how liberals reacted on reddit (and probably DU but I haven’t been there in a few days). The gist is
* “This” (CNN’s action) is how a REAL NEWS organization deals with liars. Unlike fox, CNN fired the 3 guys from last weeks article because CNN is a trustworthy news organization and doesn’t even want a hint of bias.
* Everything else CNN says about Trump/Russia is true “even if there are questions about” last week’s article that people got fired for.
* O’Keefe is a liar. The audio he has isn’t real.
(d@mn auto-correct!)
When talking to jackasses it is important to remember that their brains are full of straw. They are only capable of repeating what other jackasses tell them.
Do not try to reason with a jackass. Rather, say something outrageous with great authority. They will believe you and spread it around to other jackasses. This is the way to change the narrative with Democrats.
The same way I feel about Fox news. They betrayed me. I get all my news from the internet and I don’t even watch TV anymore.
You are asking for a thought experiment based on seekers of facts and reason.
CNN, MSNBC and the other channels are there to serve an audience that is seeking an outlet validating their confirmation bias.
Kinda like Fox or Breitbart are or were echo’s of our bias.
The difference is we will test “so called news” for veracity, while those addicted to the Don Lemmon’s, Maddow’s, etc are only looking for their synapses to be stroked and lose themselves in the fantasy presented.
That’s why people on the left can be hypnotized and look for astrology, tarot card, numerology and palm readings.
They want confirmation of their fantasy.
You want validation? See the Valet.
You want relevancy? Do something productive...
This is really not Breitbart’s style (though I am not the closest adherent)
If evidence in support of some news item ceases to flow, they won’t report on it relentlessly, unceasingly.
Evidence of Russian interference in the ‘16 election is claimed to be gushing forth from an infinite-source fountain with the tacit implication that at some point, you will see the smoking gun, smell the burnt powder, and be able to gather microscopic bullet fragments.
I am willing to believe the Russians TRIED to do whatever they tried to do. I don’t think they changed any votes.
But whether Trump had any involvement in the effort, at all, even one bit, I see zero evidence of that. But the MSM cannot get enough of this jag. When that jag (”Collusion”) fades a bit, they run to obstruction. What that one fades, they run back to collusion. They cannot let this go. When they land on obstruction, they go to Flynn. When they land on Flynn, they go back to Russia. It’s a perfect circle.
I don’t get the impression that Breitbart engages in lying. They may become misled. I don’t think they deliberately set out to lie. CNN absolutely does.
Keep your friends close and your enemies even closer.
So long as the welfare checks & EBT cards keep coming, CNN can say Jimmy Hoffa is running for President.
New White House Seating for the Press...
It’s not an analyzable quandary because the circumstances are outside of the conceptual parameters of most if not all conservatives. It’s like asking a conservative “how would you feel if you were in a bisexual orgy and the condom broke?” It doesn’t compute.
The other angle on questions like that is that they’re often asked by liberals, and they’re often asked because the assumption/insinuation of the liberal is that the circumstances being asked about happen equally but “your side doing it just must not make the news or you’re better at keeping it hushed up”.
For the sake of giving an answer to what I consider a preposterous proposition, I’ll say that we’d probably figuratively burn the place down and shake the dust off our feet...
