They try. Oh how they try.
It seems that whenever CNN has NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg on as a guest, the conversation eventually steers toward getting him to criticize Trump. They attempted this pathetic shtick in January when Poppy Harlow tried to elicit a slam against Trump from Stoltenberg but got only praise for Trump from the Secretary General.
You would think CNN would have learned from this but noooo. They repeated themselves on Monday during News Central. Host Kate Bolduan kicked off the interview by asking Stoltenberg about Sweden becoming the latest member of NATO and then the conversation turned to Ukraine. However, as we later found out, Bolduan really only had one primary agenda for the interview... getting an Orange Man Bad quote from the NATO Secretary General. And just like with Poppy Harlow she ended up sorely disappointed with the response.

If CNN is bummed out about this, I wonder how that British female journalist felt, when Marjorie Taylor Green, told her to F off? I stood up and cheered.
Where does his money come from? Biting the hand that feeds you and all that. I know the concept doesn't register with leftists until they are starving from running their countries into the ground and even then they scream well we never practiced true socialism [work like we tell you - and that is the fallacy of the whole scam like telling a welder to just weld- or you get bullet in your head]
CNN is so bad. They have a permanent case of Trump Derangement Syndrome. Maybe fatal.
“Where does his money come from?”
Europe, in his case Norway.
More to the point, its becoming clear that Europe, NATO, the EU, will have to deal with the other US faction.
Its a bit difficult to get Americans to see things from a non-US POV, but it is necessary to do this to understand anything. CNN ludicrously nade this error, but many here also do this.
Foreigners have to deal with whomever is in the White House, and they cant afford to make enemies.
“Its a bit difficult to get Americans to see things from a non-US POV”
Why should we? You’ve got no say in how we run our country. We don’t care what bunch of foreigners think.
“Why should we?”
Because they exist.
Because it helps to predict their behavior and understand their actions. Rather important in a representative democracy, that the people have some grounding in the affairs of state.
Soaking in solipsism is a poor way to exist in the world.
“that the people have some grounding in the affairs of state.”
Yes, the American people, not you. I tell you again, we don’t care what foreigners think. They have no business telling us how to run our country and have their own interests at heart, not ours.
I find that several people on FR have a bizarre understanding of, well, knowledge. It is rather sad.
I was brought up understanding that you can learn from anyone, and all learning is a treasure. Perhaps it was because we were Catholic, and the nature of that, being universal - “catholic” indeed - meant that wisdom could be found anywhere.
There are certain outposts of the US hinterland that are apparently so benighted and constrained by primitive tribalism, that they cannot tolerate learning anything. From anyone really. And if they somehow come across something out of their ken they react in outrage.
I am reminded somewhat of Pathan mullahs, or the inhabitants of the Sentinel islands.
Nonsense. It’s got nothing to do with learning. You’re just sore because we don’t care what you think about us and the USA.
Learning is all of it.
As with the proverbial horse that you can bring to water, but who wont drink. The silly horse, no doubt, imagines he has his reasons.
Zombie network.
Doesn’t know its already dead.
I recall you used that smug expression in a discussion with another poster on another. I say it’s you that refuses to learn that you have no business telling us how to run our country and we don’t care what you think about us. Just another Europuke sneering at supposed ignorant Americans.
“you used that smug expression in a discussion”
“Your mother was a hamster and your father smelled of elderberries!”
Now go away or I will insult you again!
