KILLING CNN
AMERICAN THINKER ^ | JANUARY 12, 2017 | Robert Arvay

Posted on 01/12/2017 3:58:58 AM PST by onyx

Someday, Bill O'Reilly may add to his list of historical books, which include Killing Kennedy and Killing the Rising Sun, the title Killing CNN. 

It portends to be the chronicle of a vital turning point in American history, the death of the propaganda machine in our politics, and the resurgence of genuine journalism.

I have for some time now eschewed referring to most American news institutions as "mainstream media" and instead termed them what they are: the Ministry of Propaganda (MoP).


~SNIP~

For those who may find themselves uneasy at the possibility of official censorship, remind yourselves that what CNN is being censored for is not reporting, but lying.  They actually accused Trump of hiring Russian prostitutes to urinate on a hotel bed where Obama had slept – and then, at the press conference, had the audacity to accuse him of being "improper" in his refusal to dignify their propaganda with a response.

Your time is over, CNN.  Let your liberal cohorts in other parts of the propaganda machine take note.  When you strike at Trump with lies, he will avenge the insult with that most terrifying of all weapons: truth.  To paraphrase a famous Democrat president (FDR), you have nothing to fear but Trump himself.  Well should you.

It's hard to shout when you are on your knees, groveling with your nose glued to the floor with your mouth full.

Fixed it for you.

Yes, but it is still from the point of view of the “opponents” - Democrats. They are going to take this a step farther and create a wholesale fantasy what-if government.

You can battle has-beens like Reid, and Pelosi - even Schumer. What you can’t battle is someone who doesn’t exist in any official capacity. I think I’m gonna call this “Final Fantasy VI3” VI3 meaning VI VI VI.....

Hopefully it doesn’t end up like a bloody revolution like they had.

“Stick a standing mike on the floor and let them walk up and ask a question.”

DJT wasn’t actually President yet when Acosta went off on him yesterday. Before he takes office, Spicer, et al., need to lay down the rules of decorum, and be explicit about what will be acceptable behavior going forward. They shouldn’t have to do this; decent people already know about respect and decency. Sadly, many of our press people must’ve been raised by wolves or something because they have no concept of right and wrong.

Bravo! The way Acosta was shouting at him was enough to give him the boot. You are in a conference room. Show some decorum. Never ONCE did he shout to 0bama like that. Stick a standing mike on the floor and let them walk up and ask a question.

The best part of that press conference came when Trump finally shut Acosta up and had the mike turned to the female reporter. You could hear the little CNN chihuahua crying out "That's not proper!"

“It does not guarantee that “the press” has facilities in the White House”

Last night Laura Ingraham said this needs to be done away with — keep the press from hanging out at the White House. Nothing says they have to be there so make them go away and have conferences now and then, but off site.

I hope genuine journalism comes back.
Also, someone please teach the journalists some spelling and grammar.

The White House long ago ceded the press room and credentials to the biggest players in the MSM. Likewise Congress with C-Span. C-Span is actually controlled by the biggest players in the MSM. This needs to stop!

Folks....CNN is already dead as an honest Media vehicle....they just do not know it, yet!!! They will...very soon, when the latest viewer ratings are brought forth!!! Actually, The FCC should take their broadcasting license away and give to an honest, object, factual media communications Cable TV station.

Shucks.....maybe CNN can join with Cory Booker, now a criminal for taking bribes in Nwe Jersey...while he was the Mayor of Newark, NJ. Senator, “Cory Booker”
is a true America hating, Obamabot, Democrat, low life that would add more dirt & garage to the failed, CNN “Brand”!!!

CNN is much like Obama....who came into the POTUS office determined to destroy the American Republic...but, in eight years, the only thing he has destroyed is the Democrat Party...politically!!! LMAO!!!

For the longest time, I did not get the Trump phenomenon. His behavior at times was certainly boorish. However, one of the reasons people were willing to overlook his transgressions is because he became the peoples vessel. Yes, an imperfect vessel, but a vessel non the less to deliver what the people and not the elites want.

During Bush’s Presidency, we saw a good man who tried to do what was right and most of the time (IMO) did do it right though I had a number of disagreements with him. However, when he was attacked by the press unfairly and did not stand up to it, it drove us out of our minds. Why didn’t he fight back. He thought he was taking the high road, but what happened was that he was being run over and his policies (and by extension us) were being discredited with him not even fighting back.

Now, we have someone who is not going to take the crap. He’s going to be out there fighting for us and what we believe in. He’s not perfect, but he’s our champion. While I will probably not always agree with President elect Trump, I want to thank him right now for being our champion and taking the slings and arrows from the elites for us.

The gathering of Presidential news can be made from the Fake News Quarantine Tents set up in Lafayette Park with TV feeds from the White House press room

“Stick a standing mike on the floor and let them walk up and ask a question.”

CNN would then send in a black lesbian midget reporter who couldn’t reach the microphone so they could cry discrimination.

If Trump banned CNN from all news conferences, yes, he would be censuring them; but as you said, NO, he would NOT be censoring them.

You’re willing to go into detail about Trumps lawyer, but you’re unwilling to give a clear answer as to Trumps whereabouts?
