Scott Jennings GOES OFF on CNN panel after they blame the RIGHT-WING for a lack of trust in media and call new media "freaks."
JENNINGS: "What the right wing is taking advantage of is finally the American people saying enough is enough. They're tired of feeling like the mass media screens out one viewpoint versus another in political coverage. They're tired of media institutions favoring one party over another. They're tired of narratives over factual stories. If I had any advice for 60 Minutes or anybody else, it would be: just cover the news and try to be fair about it and stop putting your finger on the scale, especially during campaigns."
PHILLIP: "Let's be honest, Scott, a lot of this is driven by the rhetoric on your side of aisle."
JENNINGS: "You think it's driven by the rhetoric and not the performance?"
PHILLIP: "Absolutely."
JENNINGS: "If you're CBS or any other news outlet, the reason that you have lost trust ought to be obvious to you, and the way to fix it also ought to be obvious to you, and it has nothing to do with Donald Trump and everything to do with the product. Just try to make a better product that appeals to more people. And the way you appeal to more people is by not crapping on half or more than half of the country because of their values and political viewpoints!
PANELIST: "What you'd end up with in that press room, is, and these are my words, the freak show that Trump wants. Trump tries to devalue media. Why should we value his freak show there? Let's leave it to the freaks!"
JENNINGS: "Calling them freaks is something. He called these new media sources the freak show. They're not freaks. They have audiences. They have audiences, and there's a reason that they're thriving - is because people are starved for information that they think they can trust. They're not freaks. They're filling a need in this country."
After all, the new media is certainly filling the role of "Government Watch Dog" for the American people.
CNN thinks you are all freaks.
So are the CNN panelists simply lying their way through this, knowing their coverage is completely one sided and most often false?
Or do they actually believe they tell the truth and are objective?
If the second is true it’s hard to believe anyone could be that clueless.
Most of these so-called journalists are lost in their urban cultist echo chambers and believe what they are saying. Some are just paid actors and will say whatever you tell them to say for money.
Deplorable freaks. Hitler-loving Nazis. Racists, bigots, homophobes. Misogynists.
Fair coverage would require recognition of facts as they are. Yet these college graduates can't interpret events in any other terms than how they have been conditioned. This is why they can lie in all honesty. They can't see any other way.
How is the media polling with the people compared to Trump?
I bet the media doesn’t want to answer that one.
how are the cnn ratings?
people are not buying what they are selling
if people would cancel their cable tv and demand a la carte programming
cnn would implode tomorrow
half of their revenue is from cable subscribers fees
meaning even if you dont watch cnn
you are funding them
There’s a reason we’ve had Free Republic for close to FOUR decades now. [we should all keep it running, too!]
You cannot hate the DNC l-controlled corporate media enough. They are Marxist idealogues and would write positive stories of deplorable being burned in concentration camp ovens.
If you cannot trust it, it is not information.
Our side is like the Jews that were in Germany in the 1930’s.
In spite of Hitler making it plain his intentions for them, they refused to believe it.
Even he has to go 10 against 1 and they still claim to be unbiased.
So the people who support every cause the left wing advocates thinks we’re all freaks? I’ll keep that in mind the next time some purple haired, pronoun confused whack job with a nose ring shaped like a phallic symbol tells me I’m the crazy one.
You mean the reporter who thinks there are a thousand sexes?
Every time I walk into a place that has CNN or MSNBC on the waiting room tv’s, I will politely ask if the channel can be changed. Sometimes they refuse and when they do I let everyone know within the waiting room I must leave because I refuse to be programmed by the CNN or MSNBC propaganda.
