CNN isn't losing it. It lost it years ago, and this is just the most blatant instance.

But it was A-OK for Fox to fire Trish Regan

This is CNN trying this angle to keep the story alive. Trump said this two days ago.

With airports empty, CNN has no audience.

I like Jennifer Griffin okay, but she is not confirming anything with anonymous sources, no matter how much she believes the words of her source. There are dozens of on-record, named people, who were there, who directly contradict what the Atlantic, and Jen’s source(s) is saying.

...especially given that Fox rarely delivers on original reporting of its own.

Amen to that!

I get sick of Faux News reporters "reporting" on what was "reported" on CNN and MSNBC and The Washington Post and the rest of the Fake News Media.

Trump Derangement Syndrome has reached psychotic proportions.

They have tried everything--literally EVERYTHING--that they can possible imagine, and some of them are very creative. The creativity of Hollywood, for example, is legendary.

I'm really worried about them. I don't think psychotherapy is feasible on such a massive scale...

“...especially given that Fox rarely delivers on original reporting of its own.”

Two things I consider as facts:

1. Fox doesn’t have an army of people creating lies that they call original reporting.

2. Fox is under attack by CNN and all the other “c” and major networks. They are so busy finding out the truth about what their opponents lie about to repair that they don’t have as much time committing their own lies near as the liars. And it’s not very original, either. This is directly out of Alinsky. Can read them like a book...short story as that’s all they’re capable of.

I thought this might have been ham handed by Trump, but it makes more sense.

The reporter claims she confirmed the accusations. She didn’t “confirm” the accusations - she wasn’t there to witness tgem, doesn’t have videotape, etc.

All she apparently did was talk to the anonymous sources. Talking to anonymous sources to confirm they are anonymous sources does not confirm the accusations themselves. For her to say it does is disingenuous.

Secondly, there are more then 10 named sources who deny the charges.

This story have effectively been debunked.

Finally - can we be told who these sources are?

We’re told they fear retribution. My guess is they are former bitter Trump officials who are already on the record disparaging Trump.

If that is true, fearing retribution does not fit into the motivation.

Secondly, following the Vindman model, I’d guess they were not first-hand witnesses to what they claimed happened.

Knowing who they are could lead verifying where they were, getting other witness to speak to what happened, and to discrediting their stories, which they want to avoid at all costs.

She should get dumped, for pushing rumors from unnamed sources. Trump has made many visits to Walter Reed to visit injured troops, when fallen soldiers are returned to the Delaware base he has been present to console their families, he has visited them oversees, he has revamped the VA. Trump has proven to be a great CIC. I’m fed up with Fox who used to tout “fair and balanced” which is bull sh^t.

Fire FAUX News.

Oliver Darcy has no other job than to trash Fox News. He thinks that this is what CNN wants him to do 24/7. So, how is it that he’s actually supporting someone at Fox News? Oh, that’s right - because the Fox News reporter is trashing Trump. All with “anonymous sources”.

Yeah, right.

Here’s what I know......I heard from good sources that JENIFER GRIFFIN was paid under the table to report falsely and knowingly help create these lies from non-existent anonymous sources. This is not the first time Griffin has cooperated with those attempting to interfere with an election. She attempts to create a reputation of fairness to make herself more credible so when she takes bribes, she will be more believable, demanding huge payoffs.

CNN was bad since it began, to an extend, 40 years ago. But it has a different foxus for its first 16 to 20 years as it was both unchallenged ans less bias under Ted Turner. Ted retired and left CNN in 2001 right before 9/11. In the years after the focus slowly shifted as they had to fight off newer news networks and lost viewership. it tried at first to be and claim that is was unbiased and/or with a moderate perserctive. But changes overtime forced it in a leftward direction. The journalist and staff it hired was far left or drifted progressive/liberal. They cheered Obama and it was under his presidency that the channel grew completely worse. When Jim Walton left they were at a crossroads and should have tried to steer the channel into a moderate position. BUt They hired the guy who ran NBC/MSNBC to the ground and was totally partisan and far left in Jeff Zucker. So You knew what direction it was headed and it got more and more bonkers at CNN eac h and every year. They also run HLN tp the ground as shows and programs they tried on the channel fail and get canceled and focus also shifts and every year is a new lineup. Only morning shows with Robin Meade remain a constant btu she stook fought off the cancelling of the show in 2014-15 and a attempt at moving her to the main CNN. She didn’t want it and nixed plans. That when they hired Alisyn Camerota.

That when they hired Alisyn Camerota. Point is the channel is now nothing like it was at start. It is left of MSNBC. They make all anchors defend a far left progressive view and editorial perspective.

There is a full on media assault against President Trump.

Cohen’s book and another Woodward book coming out with several tales no doubt amplified by hostile media including Drudge/FOX.

The entire media landscape is against Trump and is trying to elect Biden.

I have never seen anything like it.

My sources in the financial world (I wont say what firms) tell me that Trump is going to win the Electoral College and they have done their own extensive polling in battleground states to get an accurate picture and influence investment decisions on behalf of clients.

This is why we’re seeing a coordinated media attack.

Trump is winning the EC contrary to all the mainstream polling.

These sources tell me it’s just like 2016 and they were accurate then when they told me Trump would win.

I didn’t believe them then but I do believe them now.
