ATLANTA, GA—CNN has apologized to Stalin and Mao after a guest compared the brutal dictators to Donald Trump.
"I am so sorry to all of Stalin and Mao's brave supporters," said Brian Stelter in an on-air apology Tuesday morning. "We never meant to associate these great men with Donald Trump. We did not intend to disparage communism in that way."
"Sometimes, you really need to make the point that Trump is a totalitarian tyrant," said Stelter. "But dragging Stalin and Mao's names through the mud in the process is not the right way to go about that. There are good ways to criticize the president and bad ways, and we're sorry for the way this one came across."
The CNN host committed to only comparing Trump to Hitler, Genghis Khan, and serial killers like Charles Manson, Ted Bundy, and Jeffrey Dahmer going forward.
The apology was followed by a 2-hour-long tribute to the "great communist men who changed the world for the better."
More accurate than CNN and MSNBC, eh?
yep. Not even close.
This is what Hannity should replace his opening Monologue with everyday!
Still looking for those 1-2 FBI agents that he claims are honest and trustworthy....
I was surprised to hear that CNN compared President Trump to Hitler, Stalin and Mao. I thought the Left considered Stalin and Mao to be good guys.
Snopes to fact check this in 3...2...1...
Oh Poo! Don’t put the satire label on the Bee!
It’s too much fun to read the first few sentences of one of their articles before you figure out that it’s Babylon Bee!
Their silliness mirrors our MSM news so very well.
How did Pol Pot get left off the list?
I did that once and . . uh . . . the humor impaired complained. I’d rather not put the label on there to let FReepers figure it out but when somebody’s a quart low on humor fluid, what can I do?
Go with the Freepers who use their brains!!!!
