De Blasio: Unlike Fox News and NY Post, CNN Doesn’t Have “Political Agenda”
FinkelBlog ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 08/12/2018 9:32:21 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

[snip]

In savaging Murdoch's News Corp, de Blasio got off a couple of rib-ticklers. First, he claimed that in contrast with the hated News Corp:

“CNN and the major networks do not harbor a daily, hourly political agenda.”

He then expressed nostalgia for the good old days, when liberals controlled all the major media outlets. He longed for:

“A world without News Corp. A world with the kind of reporting–both sides–and a real devotion to objectivity that was the norm up to the 1970s in this country.”

"CNN doesn’t have a political agenda?"

That's why their viewership is through the roof!
Seriously, the only programing anyone tuned into recently was the Royal wedding gig.

Of course CNN doesn’t harbor a political agenda. They’re the media version of The SS Minnow. A vessel shipwrecked in a lagoon on a television island nobody knows about with only themselves to report to. Creating cockamamie convuluted scenarios in a desperate attempt to attract attention.

I find it quite amusing that socialists must run to the defense of the media. I would bet Ted Turner asks him to shut his pie-hole.

the msm during the iraq war was divulging locations of our snipers- CBS I believe was the main one doing this and they refused to stop or apologize for directly endangering our military!

Damn, this big retarded doofus is a hell of a lot dumber than I thought he was. CNN doesn’t have a “political agenda”? ROTFL. I hope this moron is on an FBI “no fly” list somewhere. I’d hate to see this retard get his hands on a firearm.

DeBoche-o yearns for the good old days ......in East Germany in the 1970’s where it was a simple matter to send dissenting voices off to work camps, prison or worse. The press had a single voice just like the commie minds at the Communist News Network!!

The New York Post provides thorough coverage of religious and political persecution in China.

Where was CNN, Mayor de Blasio?

De Blasio is a Communist longing for the glory days of Pravda, when ALL media was state controlled.

Yeah, and Pol Pot and Vladimir Lenin didn't have a political agenda either.

Warren Wilhelm Jr. ((Bill de Blasio’s birth name) just sounded too much like someone who would represent the German-American Bund, a pro-Nazi group that flourished in some quarters prior to the Second World War. Of course he would have changed his name.

Now, just about every Democrat socialist in America would deny with a show of outright horror, that the National Socialists had anything at all to do with their interpretation of “Democrat socialism”. But in fact, almost all forms of socialism are cut from the same rough-woven cloth, which is denial of the value and teachings of religion, the denial of the concept of personal ownership of any kind of property, and the denial of contrary opinions in the marketplace - their way or the highway, and there are only ruts to travel to get anywhere. And none of them lead to somewhere better.

No agenda there.

When I read your post, I had to check to see if Ted Turner is still alive. Yes, apparently he is. I must have confused him with John McCain.....
