Liberal Media Scream: New high in CNN bias, blames GOP for ‘divided America’
Washington Examiner ^ | 2/1/2021 | Paul Bedard

This week’s Liberal Media Scream features a new high in the anti-GOP bias shown by CNN, this time blaming the political divide on the Tea Party, Sarah Palin, Roger Ailes, Fox News, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, and, of course, former President Donald Trump.

Over one hour last night, Fareed Zakaria pointed a big finger at the GOP in his special, The Divided States of America: What Is Tearing Us Apart? Over and over, the answer was boiled down to Republicans. And if that wasn’t enough, Republicans were sometimes described as racists.

Zakaria said, “When scholars spent time with Tea Party activists, they found that behind the talk of taxes and big government were people mostly motivated by fears about race and immigration.”

He moved on to how Ailes “turned his channel into a right-wing bull horn, blurring facts and opinion like never before.”

He added, “Trump had a role model for his exploitation of the class divide: Sarah Palin, who did it first.”

His final target was Gingrich: “Before there was a Donald Trump, there was a Republican pioneer who paved the way for the Trump brand of destructive politics. ... His legacy has been both dark and far-reaching — a permanent state of war between the parties.”

(excerpts>

Media Research Center Vice President Brent Baker explains our weekly pick: “Quite a pretentious feat by CNN and Zakaria in managing to blame all of the nation’s ills on the tone of the rhetoric from conservative political figures, as if liberals are blameless for political divisiveness. By choosing to blame only one side, CNN and Zakaria are exacerbating the very problem they claim to be trying to diagnose.”

Liberal Media Scream: New high in CNN bias, blames GOP for ‘divided America’

They’ve done this plenty of times. It’s nothing new. It’s like the boy crying “Wolf!”. Our side of the political aisle feels like they are dividing America (and I think we can make an even better case than they can). So, screw them!

Why can’t the plagiarist be sued for this?

Clear incitement.

These people want to stoke and incite all out violence in this country, and they get a pass for it.

For four years they were allowed to blame one man’s tweets for THEIR OWN EFFORTS TO FOMENT HATE, but now that he is gone, they can’t stop.

If only they had some way to make us all die. Then America wouldn’t be divided.

Which WAS 20 years ago— “divided” America... was an awakened NEW CONSERVATIVE America that defeated their relentless NeoMarxist Globalist NWO “Workers of the World, Unite” 20 year plan plus. They think they are on the “rise” as they self implode vs. 20 plus year graduates of this Conservatism (not the Romneybots— that was a learning curve as was the Bushie cover story scrambling family head fakes) arising, and the next generation of the Conservatives children and grandchildren.

It is Ideas that matter— but to the Socialist they are readily changed every single day shifting with their propaganda which is always a lie and aids their one goal- Power. Totalitarian Power.

LOL. The Democrats, knowing 75 million voters questioned the legitimacy of the election, impeached Trump 7 days before he left office, and to throw gasoline on the r5aging inferno, now they’re holding an impeachment trial in the Senate for him, even though he’s no longer President. But it’s Republicans who are being divisive. . . . . .

I don’t like Republicans and I despise Democrats.
I hate the MSM. What divide? I am probably more representative of Americans than the media recognizes.

Well they would know...after all, CNN is certainly at the top of the list for those publicly trying to divide Americans for the past 4 years.

Nah, CNN is a major part of the propaganda wing of the DNC. Their purpose is to attack and slander Republicans. There’s no purpose in their attacking anyone not in their opposition party. Everything is about immediate political gain and manipulation for the propaganda media, and they only just barely attempt to hide that fact at this point.
