That is not the issue. They should not pick fights with people who can cut them to pieces.

News consumers should have no pity for CNN urinalists and anonymous propaganda manufacturers.

Anonymous sources are entirely different, however.

She was cute and somewhat knowledgeable but not so much anymore.

This is a bit rich, considering that CNN is now falling behind reruns of Yogi Bear in prime time ratings

Then they should have no support for anonymous sources.

When these so called “Anonymous sources” are proven wrong they should be named by the media to prevent further Fake News.
To: 2ndDivisionVet
I have no pity or tolerance for fake-news journalists.
To: 2ndDivisionVet
Perhaps CNN will learn that if you pick a fight with a tough, street-wise alpha male from Queens, you’re gonna get your ass kicked.

Anonymous sources are entirely different, however. I was going to write something quite similar, my good FRiend, however your post was much more succinct.

Being uterly clueless about the ethical problem of doxing has subjected CNN to the consquences of people being digusted with them. If the guys messages are unpopularly bigoted then you dont need to dox him to descredit him. Why is ad hominem necesary when one is right? I dont know the guys other content and dont care to see it. Ive heard he was a sh-t lord...somebody who just says outrageous stuff as a kind of humor...to see if anyone is foolish enough to take them seriously. Its immature and weasily, but its amazimg the msm would be silly to fall for it.
To: BenLurkin
No, CNN has no journalists, only Press-titutes. (they do it for the money)
