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.

CNN has been going downhill ever since Ted Turner sold it.

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


Actually I’m not sure that is a good idea. I think you would get drama queens hogging the mike, etc.,

The feed I heard yesterday on the radio only included Trumps response for the most part - the presstitutes had to shout their questions and were unmiked. I think that is best as Trump can simply ignore or deflect a question if he chooses.

Frankly my fantasy option is to have a Sargent-in-arms with full rights to b!&ch slap any media moron he thinks gets out of hand.

“There is no censorship. If there was” Fox News, Limbaugh and Breitbart news would all be in “re-education” camps, as the FCC Libs desired but couldn’t quite pull off.

Will Certainly Not News ever carry this new reality?

Intel chief calls Trump to disavow leaks

The nation’s top intel chief called President-elect Donald Trump Wednesday to personally deny leaking to the media a dubious dossier of allegations about sensitive information the Russians supposedly had about him.

Trump confirmed Thursday that Director of National Intelligence James Clapper spoke to him by phone, apparently sometime after a press conference in which Trump lashed out at media outlets, including Buzzfeed and CNN, that ran with the story and speculated it was leaked by federal officials.

“James Clapper called me yesterday to denounce the false and fictitious report that was illegally circulated,” Trump tweeted. “Made up, phony facts.Too bad!”

Forgive me if this has been covered, but do we know if Trump actually stayed in the same room BO did? Did the "media" check and verify this?

Jeff this bs was a troll job set up by 4 Chan, and it was never reality or news. Take a few minutes to scan the real story behind CNN's fake news.

4 channel trolling the mediots, CIA, Rats, Intel Idiots, McAnal and the Never Trumpsters on FR and around America.

They need to be reminded every day that they SCREWED THE ENTIRE COUNTRY WITH THEIR FAKE NEWS!!!!!

They hurt us by attacking Mr. Trump obviously, but they screwed their own supporters by lying about how well ‘illary was doing and suppressing their own voter turnout. Do they think nobody noticed?

"“If AT&T had to spin off CNN to get the deal approved, I suspect they would be willing to do so,”

So the takeaway is, in order for ATTimeWarner to proceed, CNN gets spun off, to a megabucks lone buyer, who shuts the whole thing down, and reinvents it as an infomercial channel selling "Art of the Deal" and Trump-brand products. Acosta gets a choice - sell Trump brand for same salary, or take a complimentary box of Trump wine and GTFO.

The msm hasn’t just screwed us during this election, but for many years prior with their lies and #FAKENEWS.

They failed. They pushed #FAKENEWS. And have been doing it for years.

Now they are caught red handed for the world to see. And now, after getting caught, the msm wants the people to do their job.

Bullsh!!t, I say, “YOU’RE FIRED!!”

CNN has been a disgrace. They have been caught giving questions, working with Dems, and telling lies yet again.

If anyone is around in an airport, waiting room, or even a restaurant then tell them to turn them to turn it over as you want to see the news. If they tell you this is a news channel then tell them no it is not , it is full of lies, and a joke.

It is astonishing how informed the American public is becoming, no small thanks to JULIAN ASSANGE and Wiki Leaks!

The public is “on” to them all, now.

Brit boy was hired by Planned Parenthood to put a positive spin on their sale of baby parts, back when their pants were set on fire by our guy. The Brit is in business to make money.

I believe he was hired to write this crap against Trump.

Read this a few times. It captures their complex, twisted method.

May I remind the author that CNN has not been censored, officially or unofficially

Except when they censor themselves to appease a true murderous tryrant like Eason Jordan did to curry favor and be used by Saddam Hussein Hey I'm admitting to a Decade of Systematic Cover up of Saddam Hussein's Attrocities perhaps it has a different official title - oh yeah there its.

Right in the name of the html document the-news-we-kept-to-ourselves.html

I can't get James Earl Jones/Darth Vadar saying "This is Fake News" out of my head

I have high hopes for a book titled, “Killing Colmes”.

Geraldo Rivera, here.

It's such a target-rich environment.

Amen, baby!

Snowmen also.

It is impossible to separate “means” and “ends”, sometimes.

We fear security breaches, but in certain cases with these two men, must surely thank God for what they expose!
How else would the people ever know the truth or the facts of the matter. Until, perhaps, it was too late.

CNN and other ministers of Propaganda have blood on their hands, specifically the police officers shot since they began their mind control of the masses, setting up provenly false narratives, by promoting the Black Lives Matter terrorist group. Trump kick them the hell out of your news conferences.
