Shareholder: CNN Acting Like Part Of ‘Anti-Trump Resistance’
Breitbart ^ | 6-17-2017 | Tony Lee

Posted on 06/17/2017 10:19:41 AM PDT by blam

A Time Warner shareholder accused CNN of acting like it was the part the “resistance” movement against President Donald Trump.

“I’m inquiring about CNN’s bias and our return on investment,” shareholder David Almasi reportedly told Time Warner CEO Jeff Bewkes during Thursday’s annual shareholders meeting. “Half the American public—which includes potential and current CNN viewers—voted for Trump last November and supports his agenda. CNN acts as if it is part of the anti-Trump resistance.”

According to the Hollywood Reporter, “about half of the 300 people” at the annual shareholders meeting “applauded” Almasi while “several others later approached” him to “thank him for his questions.”

Almasi reportedly “cited data from the Media Research Center indicating that among the CNN panelists dissecting the May 9 firing of FBI director James Comey, 96 were anti-Trump and seven were pro-Trump.”

Time Warner is CNN’s parent company, and Bewkes also defended Time Warner’s support of the Trump assassination play being staged by The Public Theatre in New York.

Bewkes reportedly said “we’re certainly not going to drop our support” when asked by a shareholder how the company could support the play after House Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R-LA) was shot.

It's not a resistance movement. It's an overthrow movement.

That's what demonicRATS and The Fake News Media (but I repeat myself) do. When they're in power, they overthrow foreign governments. When they're not in power, they overthrow the American government.

LOL “Acting” they have been calling for Trump’s murder since the beginning..tell me any other time where you see the MEDIA in collusion with a Presidential campaign, giving them the questions for debates in advance..giving out talking points..CNN is the ISIS party they agree with ISIS’s agenda, they wanted America to become Communist, that is why they were rooting for Clinton, they failed, and they can’t stand it

Why do people believe they can reason with ISIS or their blood brothers, the Democrats???

Well when the shareholders speak up it simply confirms what the rest of us already know regarding CNN.

I viewed CNN at first during the Iraq war.....I was so livid about their reporting and as well CBS for they weren’t telling it how it was. At such an important time if they can’t get it right then they’ll never get anything right....nor my views. Since then I stopped watching them altogether.

If investors are beginning to ask these questions publicly, bankruptcy beckons.

Your comment is apt; and the shareholder response, described above, is something that must take place across the continent, wherever Corporate institutions are misused to destroy our heritage.

Understand, if the Trump haters prevail, the heritage we love & honor will be lost. They are pulling out all normal stops to destroy us!

What Drives The Trump Haters!.

Thank you. I stole it from Mark Steyn. He said it the other night on Lou Dobbs's show. I was thinking it before he said it, though. I'm just not as good as Steyn is at putting my thoughts into words.

Leftwing bullies can do lot of evil things. They cannot take a man's security holdings.

In point of fact, the shareholder's point is sufficiently sound & clear that he could very likely prevail in a shareholder's derivative suit against CNN management. In my opinion, he, not the Corporate defender, has the better whip hand. Let us hope he follows up!

Lets remember who founded CNN... Ted Turner... who was married to Jane Fonda. It really shouldn’t be a surprise that they cover the news like they do.

75 years ago, the equivalent comment would have been:

“Irwin Rommel Acting Like Part Of Nazi Army”

It’s not news to any informed person that CNN is all in for the other side, any more than it was news that General Rommel was not on America’s side.
