CNN is like a radio station playing the same song 24/7.

That’s a good analogy.

The reason for that is, they write the story and then look for sources to back it up.

Borger was so caught up in her excuses that she revealed too much. At one point, replying to why sources get it wrong, she said ‘sometimes they don’t know...’

So, if they don’t know, why is she using them as sources?

The only answer would seem to be: because they are anonymous, it doesn’t really matter whether they know or not.

And that belies the whole notion that CNN is broadcasting ‘news’.

Pathological liars using other pathological liars as sources.

What could possibly go wrong? :-)

Gloria Borger is about the worst of the many terrible hacks they employ at CNN. Stupid too.

Right it was what Borger wanted to hear and believe....

The objective truth was never considered by her.

#Fakenews media outlets rely solely on “anonymous sources” to smear their ideological opponents...

Blitzer: “Are these people simply out of the loop, they don’t know what they’re talking about or are they lying?”

Answer: “ahhhh...it could be a little bit of both”

CNN’s longest serving anchorman qualifying their anti-Trump sources as either completely uninformed or flat out liars..fake news at its finest hour...

what is missing here is that if the source is wrong they should be exposed.

When the source provides disinformation the MSM should expose them as a false prophets.

Talking torso on air journalists are designed for one thing only. That is to subtly use “method acting” to editorialize employing cadence, voice tone and facial expression to give a sense of approval or disapproval of a news story or its players. These cues come into the viewers’ brains largely subliminally and our natural tendency to ape the reactions of others puts us in their shoes, believing what they believe, seeing the world as the reporter sees it.

The artist Salvador Dali used an analytical technique he termed “critical paranoia” to see hidden faces or other objects in landscapes, clouds, rocks, etc. Critical paranoia means you remain skeptical all the time and analyze detail, but not as a fear inducing reaction, but rather, as a means of acquiring greater detail and using that detail to better detect and predict hidden agendas from the input- emphasis on the critical part.
