CNN's Deplorable Smear of Pence

“”NEVER watch CNN. I haven’t for years.””

It’s really not that bad. For the past few months Blitzer has been very rational in his interviews re the politics going on. I don’t know what happened to this one. CNN does have a good straight news show and covers a lot more news in depth than FOX does IMO. Anderson Cooper is not that bad either tho’ he’s gotten a bad rap here and elsewhere. For news, I prefer CNN IF I don’t have to listen to the irritating, irksome female voices..OR get my news from the internet....

Only on CNN would you be able to see a wolf in skunk’s clothing.

“”I have a strong problem with women’s voices in media and politics. American women don’t care at all about how they sound. They have no idea of the impact on others they make.””

I am so glad to hear that. My daughter tells me I complain too much but if anything is going to get to me in a day’s time, it’s those voices. I picture myself being locked up in my old age (any day now) and being forced to listen to THOSE voices.. Instead of waterboarding terrorists, use tapes of those female voices!

Got myself in heap big trouble here at FR a few years back when I complained about Sarah Palin screeching into a microphone and how irritating it was to listen to. You would have thought I’d ripped on the Pope - well, today that would be acceptable, I guess.

No need to yell - you have a microphone!!!! Have to say her voice is irritating anyway!

My rant for the day? Probably not!

I’m listening to Laura Ingraham. She, too, has an annoying voice.

The TV media is playing a desperate and coordinated smear game now of trying to direct attention away from Clinton. So rather than talking about her corrupt foundation, they ask about Trump's tax returns and imply he doesn't really support charity and is hiding that. Rather than talk about Hillary's health, they talk about Trumps health and imply the records he will release will have been scrubbed. Rather than talk about Hillary's contempt for a huge swath of the electorate, they suggest that Trump's supporters are mostly David Duke.

I don't watch much TV news anymore, for my own sanity. And especially not this week since I'm on the road. But even in the few snippets I've watched I've seen the pattern playing out, it's so obvious and front and center.

CNN is nothing but a shameless arm of the DNC. All the time they are trying to defend Hillary on everything.

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

Pence and Trump should boycott CNN until they get an apology for that kind of trickery.

[Thank You Rush]

“”I’m listening to Laura Ingraham. She, too, has an annoying voice””

Yes - absolutely, she does. I applaud you for being able to listen to her. Martha Mac Callum is another one. YIKES! Makes my skin crawl thinking of them...You don’t know how glad I am to find another female who thinks/feels the same as I do about this. You’ve made my day!

[miss marmelstein]

Have you ever seen the You Tube video of Laura Ingraham berating her staff? Hilarious. Not a nice lady, I’m afraid.

>>”I’m not in the name-calling business, Wolf.”

Superb answer, Gov. Pence!

Other politicians (and journalists and tv personalities) could take a lesson from you.

The only time I have EVER seen CNN was in an airport about 20 years ago, I recognize propaganda when I see it.

Great points.

You have to wonder if Blitzer is even capable of understanding the English language. It’s like he was requiring Pence to parrot back to him whatever words he tried to put in his mouth. Blitzer was incapable of understanding that Pence was not a fan of Duke when expressed in words not of Blitzer’s choosing.

Note the style of questioning: Blitzer makes a statement and then asks Pence to agree with it. Where are the open-ended questions? Like, what is your position on X? What are your plans for Y?

I could understand this style of question when there is a question of hard facts that one is trying to pin down (e.g., You knew that a private email server was illegal and threat to national security, right?)

You have to ask yourself just exactly what is Blitzer’s agenda that he keeps hammering at a question like this after he’s already gotten a very straightforward answer.

[wardaddy]

Actually the best descriptive noun of David Duke is that of being a KOOK

He always has been

95% of what he says most here would agree with....yes it’s true I hate to break it to y’all but that’s how he got elected twice I think..but then he goes way off the rails with the other 5% especially in my view the ZOG stuff

Isn’t it funny how much a lather whites get into over a loudmouth white guy who says incendiary things versus how any other race can spout similar notions and still be lauded

Jay Zee comes to mind

The whole concept of La Raza

And so on

We....white folks like me....are like the Hebrew National commercial

“Held to a higher standard”

Is it because we actually are a higher standard or we like to beat ourselves up

Btw

I haven’t seen a pic of Duke in 20 years

Man he has aged

As have i

[Thank You Rush]

No, I haven’t. Sounds interesting. I’ll look for it. Thanks.

[Thank You Rush]

HA HA - One of the first things up when I “binged”, is our posts from today! WE MADE IT...we’re in the big time - or in the BING time anyway! They like us - they really do like us! OK, I’ll calm down now.

This anti-Trump commenter has no room to sneer about others smearing the ticket.
