CNN Reliable Sources host Brian Stelter could not answer why there is a “rush to dismiss Hunter [Biden’s laptop investigation] as not a relevant story” while quite a bit of coverage has gone to conservative Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and the text messages of his wife, Ginni.

While discussing the media’s influence on election narratives, the Reliable Sources panel on Sunday addressed whether Thomas should recuse himself in forthcoming Supreme Court election cases in light of his wife's texts that show she asked former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows to help overturn the 2020 elections.

S.E. Cupp, who has been dubbed by CNN as one of its “practical conservative” political commentators, appeared as a member of the panel and called into question the double standard of media attention given to Ginni Thomas’s texts in comparison to Biden’s laptop investigation.

“The conflicts have been, you know, questioned by everyone, including Sean Hannity,” Cupp said. “The outrage is warranted. Those texts are very troubling, and we should be looking at whether Clarence Thomas knew or if that is a conflict. But listen, you don’t have to look far to find a very similar story that was really ignored by the media and in fact called false.”.....

I quit the article after it wanted a second click inside the linked page to continue the story. They certainly do try to maximize clicks, don’t they?

The worst part is: more folks will act like I do than actually finish the article. It’s almost like they don’t want anyone to understand what’s going on...

I wonder if these reporters are sick of hiding and trying to hide the truth. Wanting to just let the truth out.

For that to happen they would have to have consciences.

Ask both of CNN’s viewers what they think.

Yes. Ingsoc.

https://bookanalysis.com/1984/ingsoc/

There are three “sacred principles” of INGSOC. They are Newspeak, as described above, doublethink, and the mutability (or changeability) of the past. The Party attempts to control what its citizens are thinking through all three of these means. With doublethink, Orwell stated that it is “to be conscious of complete truthfulness while telling carefully constructed lies” and “to hold simultaneously two opinions which” one knows to be contradictory but believing them both. It’s a paradox that allows the Party to do anything it wants, including changing who Oceania is at war with without the majority of the citizens noticing. For example, the narrator says that:

At this moment, for example, in 1984 (if it was1984), Oceania was at war with Eurasia and in alliance with Eastasia. In no public or private utterance was it ever admitted that the three powers had at any time been grouped along different lines.

Winston knows that it was “only four years since Oceania had been at war with Eastasia and in an alliance with Eurasia.” But, as is the case with doublethink, “that was merely a piece of furtive knowledge which he happened to possess because his memory was not satisfactorily under control.”

Kind of hard to give credibility to any show that has more panelists than viewers.

If CNN had two brain cells to rub together they would create the first ‘NyEWS StyleaBook’...

Have standards for covering a story based on known facts NOT just who’s ox is being gored.
