The New York Times excoriated CNN in a column Sunday that indicated the liberal network either “amped up outrage and righteousness” with anti-Trump coverage to increase ratings or CNN Worldwide president Jeff Zucker simply wants to destroy the man he helped turn into a star.

Walter Duranty sound familiar?
Pot calls kettle black, nothing to see here.
The Rats are eating each other! Delicious!

but NOTHING compares to cnn.
Times has articles from time to time that are grounded and even take shots at the left.
cnn is in a class all by itself.
ny times is a rag.
cnn is the wet paper towel that smells
The New York Slimes vs CNN (Comical News Nerds). No winner here...just losers.
The mass media “news” is Commie propaganda.
Commie propaganda is “news”.
It has been that way for decades.
Life is easy when you know the rules.
