CNN's Pro-Trump Commentators Keep Getting Fired

Amelia said:
I didn't vote for Hillary. I didn't want Bill Clinton back in the White House. It was a terrible situation -- Bill to the White House or Trump to the White House. Both were nasty. But at least Bill had SOME morals, not to mention intelligence and sense. Trump has none.

I have been awaiting further developments in the Keith Ellison situation. I'm pretty sure I'll never vote for him. But what exactly is he accused of? I'm pretty sure not attempted rape. Is he accused of lying under oath to the senate?



Oh, and what does this have to do with the ****-ups trying to defend Trump's cocked-up administration on CNN?

Bill was more than a ***** grabber, he was a verified, not just locker room talker, a bonafide sexual predator that the fat lady was shilling, more than shilling for. Yano?

Keith Ellison accusations? Google it, try the non fake news sites if you want some truth. Not my job to keep you lefties up to date, tho.

Voted for Jill, did you? Hahaha, thank you. Howd that work out by the way? :lamo


Bill certainly was fatally phallically stupid... but he wasnt politically dumb. Yet he wasnt half as economically, domestically, internationally, militarily strategically adept as Trump. And Trump has much much much much better taste in wives. Thats pure understatement, too. ;) :lamo
 
Amelia said:
I voted Bush, Bush, McCain, Romney, Stein.

Tried to convince my husband to vote for Hillary but he called her evil, so out of deference to him I didn't vote for her either.

He showed me no such deference, and voted for Trump.

Next time I vote for the Democrat. Next time I'd even vote for Hillary, now that Trump has shown himself to be a hot mess on every level, not merely a depraved carnival barker.

I suspect my husband simply won't vote.

So when exactly did you become a "progressive"?



It just seems really odd that someone as progressive as you would vote for McCain and Romney over Obama who was the progressive's wet dream.

I think Keith Ellison should resign. I think Trump should get the same level of congressional investigation into the accusations of his sexual assault that Clinton did. Particularly considering that more women have accused Trump of sexual harassment and assault than even Clinton.

I think Miller has more problems than losing a job at CNN. Don't know what is legit but it appears he has a little trouble with getting in another woman's bed while his wife/gf was pregnant. Now who does that sound like?

I dont know, maybe millions and millions of other males?

Have any other prominent democrats stepped forward and said the same thing? Or are you allowed to beat women up just so long as you are a democrat?

I was always an Eisenhower Republican.

For the first 100 years of its existence the GOP was progressive. It was hard to let go. I would have let go in the late 90's thanks to Newt Gingrich and Henry Hyde's hatefulness but then came George W. Bush with his message of compassionate conservatism, so I proudly stayed. I thought it would be forever. To me "Democrat" was a dirty word.

And then came the GOP's 8 years of refusing to even vote for legislation they formerly supported because they didn't want Obama to get any credit and it was getting harder and harder to see why I stayed. Still, I hung on with the Republicans until the bitter end -- which for me came in November of 2015 when they made it clear that someone as vile as Donald Trump could possibly win their nomination.

A party which didn't immediately spit him out and step on him and repudiate his xenophobic messaging was not a place I could stay.
 
Last I saw the so-called-beating of which Keith Ellison stands accused was trying to drag someone off his bed.

There was an earlier incident also reported where he allegedly grabbed a woman and pushed her out of the way.

I saw nothing about him beating anyone up.



The other reported abuse (at least what I saw discussed in news reports this summer) was verbal. Why are people calling these beatings? Please provide links.

Bush's compassionate conservatism nonsense was why I was a Democrat during that period along with his idiotic nation building stupidity. Obama was such a breath of fresh air after Bush but he turned into a bigger idiot than Bush. Something I thought impossible at the time.


Amazing how people can view things from such different angles.

I think that would be fine myself. AND, I think criminal and civil penalties should be strictly meted out to those deemed to have made false accusations. I am sure we will be in agreement about that as well.

Then watch the accusations disappear... hell, they pretty much already have. Yano?

Oh, ya think? Apparently you dont think.

Ahhh, just another buzzing mosquito like annoying lib who masquerades not as a declared "independent"...but as in this case a, hahahahha, "moderate", eh?

I would put you at less than moderately informed regarding truth, less than moderately common sensical, less than moderately even handed among other of your less thans.

You can keep going back to this all you want (moderation in all things isnt your forte it seems :lamo)... however, someone falsly declaring they are looking at things from a neutral position when they are not... is precisely analogous to CNN and nearly ALL of the rest of the MSM. They pretend they are straight shooters, right down the middle without bias and partiality... and they ARE NOT.

Provably not. But they cannot admit it, nor can the poster here. No credibility.

So, I guess we could, maybe even should, thank you for belaboring the point so as to bring it back full circle.

Smart folk read the red.

Does anybody else think that Don Lemon needs to go? He seems way to emotionally involved. The way he rolls his eyes and the faces he makes seem unprofessional to me. I think his obvious anti Trump agenda is not a good look for CNN. The other anchors seem much more objective.

Well you know the cultists are all about innocent until proven guilty.
Since none of them has provided you with any links, here's an up to date account.

Ellison’s ex-girlfriend, Karen Monahan, accused Ellison in August of dragging her off a bed by her feet in 2016 while screaming obscenities. She claims to have video footage of the incident. The Democratic congressman denies the incident occurred.


Ellingstad writes in her report that Monahan’s refusal to provide the video she says she has leads her “to conclude that the allegation is unsubstantiated.”


Ellingstad’s report also notes Monahan gave shifting explanations for why she won’t release the video.

Thank you.

And even if she ever hands over the video, dragging someone off a bed is still a far cry from beating.


The accusations about his temper are believable and unsavory, but still a far cry from the hyperbolic claims people are making about him in their attempted whataboutism.

Is it a pattern of deniability????

Jeffrey Lord, Paris Dennard, Corey Lewandowski, and now Jason Miller have all been fired from the network in the past year. Now I know that some would claim that this is proof of CNN's anti-Trump stances, but could it be that these men are just idiots who don't know when to shut up??? It's now getting faster and faster. Lord and Lewandowski lasted awhile but Miller was Dennard's replacement wasn't he? Dennard got fired last month.

From what I read he exits/resigned after he was accused of dosing his pregnant girlfriend with an abortion pill which lead to her loosing her fetus/zygote/embryo (ZEF). That is not firing someone.
 
Well of course pro republican employees are going to be fired from outlets like CNN(and MSNBC, NBC, CNBC, ABC, CBS, PBS, Bloomberg, NPR, CSPAN 1-2-3, etc etc). You can't have a pro-democrat, left wing activist news media with employees who aren't biased leftists! Lol

'I was always an Eisenhower Republican.' that's impossible to believe. Ike was IMO the best president in my lifetime and the rendering he
prominently displayed in the Oval Office of someone he most admired was that of Robert E Lee. That doesn't sound like your type to me.
Where do you get your history base from. Certainly Silent Cal, Hoover nor Eisehower where progressives, the most progressive Republican
president of recent times was Nixon 'The enlightened conservative' who threw the democrats a bone or two with OSHA & the EPA.

Honestly..I would still like to see the KE video before pronouncing judgement.

Consistency check..check.


...But your point in highlighting the media double standard stands tall.

Frankly, I don't see the point of any network hiring a former Trump Admin. or campaign employee; they all signed non-disparagement agreements and thus can't/won't directly answer questions that may reflect negatively on Trump.
​

During the term of your service and at all times thereafter you hereby promise and agree not to demean or disparage publicly the Company, Mr. Trump, any Trump Company, any Family Member, or any Family Member Company or any asset any of the foregoing own, or product or service any of the foregoing offer, in each case by or in any of the Restricted Means and Contexts and to prevent your employees from doing so.​

They also agreed not to disclose "confidential" information, which was defined as:

Confidential Information" means all information (whether or not embodied in any media) of a private, proprietary or confidential nature or that Mr. Trump insists remain private or confidential, including, but not limited to, any information with respect to the personal life, political affairs, and/or business affairs of Mr. Trump or of any Family Member, including but not limited to, the assets, investments, revenue, expenses, taxes, financial statements, actual or prospective business ventures, contracts, alliances, affiliations, relationships, affiliated entities, bids, letters of intent, term sheets, decisions, strategies, techniques, methods, projections, forecasts, customers, clients, contacts, customer lists, contact lists, schedules, appointments, meetings, conversations, notes, and other communications of Mr. Trump, any Family Member, any Trump Company or any Family Member Company.​
Donald J. Trump Jr., Eric F. Trump and Ivanka M. Trump, Tiffany Trump, and Barron Trump, and their respective spouses, children and grandchildren, if any, and Mr. Trump's siblings and their respective spouses and children, if any.​


If a commentator cannot freely share what s/he thinks, believes, feels or has observed that isn't expressly classified as per U.S. government classification procedures, why have them as a commentator? They're going to be no more or less able to remark and offer insights than is a randomly selected person off the street.
