When the Left has to live according to its own rules, it will rue the loss of the civilization it destroyed.
Since at least 2016, CNN has mostly ceased being a news agency, but that hasn’t stopped it from being an active participant in #TheResistance. The network is so caught up in the fervor of this movement that many of its guests and regular hosts have been fired, reprimanded, or apologized for threats to the president or general obscene references (e.g., Reza Aslan, the late Anthony Bourdain, Kathy Griffin).
Many of its marquee reporters have resigned, were fired, or reassigned for fake-news bias (e.g., Thomas Frank, Eric Lichtblau, and Lex Haris), or came under fire for false reporting (Jim Sciutto, Marshall Cohen, and Carl Bernstein) or have had to offer retractions and/or apologies (Gloria Borger, Eric Lichtblau, Jake Tapper, and Brian Rokus.)
Its anchors have apologized for obscenity (Anderson Cooper) or simply making up false statements (Chris Cuomo), while analysts have been caught in a number of contradictions about their own role in on-going scandals (James Clapper).
The common denominator has been the new journalistic ethos that aborting the Trump presidency justifies any means necessary to achieve such noble ends. Throughout CNN’s descent into parody, progressives still smiled at the usefulness of CNN for the larger project of delegitimizing the Trump presidency. Few understood the Thucydidean concept that once nihilists destroy norms and protocols of ethical behavior for perceived short-term advantage, they usually rue the loss when they themselves become victims of their own biased zealotry and are in dire need of the civilizational help they recently ruined.

Whatever happened to that bald black lady. I never knew her name, but every time she opened her mouth it sounded like they brought in a woke order taker from McDonalds to get an “average leftist tripe” opinion on everything.
But I’ve seen no reference to her for quite a while.
If CNN didn’t pay airports to show them on monitors to a captive audience, I would never even know they still existed.
Looks like a spelling error in the title.
What's the problem? My dyslexia saw "Progressive Retards" .....

Me too.
Symone Sanders - I found her.
Funny that she switched from Bernie to Biden. :)

VDH describes things so well, I think I am just done with the internet for today...maybe for the week.
The Left seems to be rotting in their useful idiocy...for now.
“Ossifying” is a cool word BTW.
If and when the Left gains control (as they expected with the 2016 election) they will move swiftly and by “whatever means necessary” to establish the government that enshrines themselves in absolute control.
When it does fail, they won’t have the opposition to blame any longer, so they will blame their “subjects”, who only exist at their mercy.
What follows will be increasing brutality, with the “elite” (who will by then have declared themselves “royalty”, and superior beings) fighting among themselves for control.
And this will be the total re-establishment of feudalism, with the Roman model.
Fluffers for the Deep State.
When you need a big state, the fluffers at CNN go to work.
