CNN on the Attack Against Progressive Candidates

Into the Night said:

Corporations are made up of people.The leaders of that corporation may be conservative, liberal, Christian, atheist, capitalist, or socialist; just like people are already.

To lump all corporations into one political opinion is a fallacy, known as a compositional error. It is the same fallacy behind bigotry and racism.

Since corporations are made up of people, making a compositional error involving them is involving people as the class. This is bigotry.

CNN is indeed a liberal corporation. Most news agencies are, since liberal propaganda is often to look as a 'crisis', and CNN is in the business of selling 'news'. Like the neighborhood gossip, it is the 'crisis' that is exciting information.

The difference between the neighborhood gossip, CNN, and the National Enquirer is actually quite small.

The corporation is a for profit capitalist organization and act completely in that interest. Corporations act upon politics

only in their for-profit interests. The most accommodating of which...is the right. (GOP)

You are quite right. Most Democrats advocate fascism rather than communism.

There are no facts or extrapolation of fact that would lead one to conclude the left in the US as seeking fascism.

In fact if one researches the laws as it relates to business in general and the corporation in particular.

one would objectively assess that we are now entering capitalist fascism empowered by the right and their federal judges among other laws.

When the great and glorious right wing oh so constitutional loving judges, ruling in Epic Systems v Lewis, one will see

[they] have ran so far to the fascist right...it's obvious.

Employer can force employees to sign away their right to collectively go to court. Arbitration only.

One may have a problem with an employer and if 100s or 1000s of others feel the same, you still must fix it...all on your own and your own dime.

Isn't that just precious ? The corp. can exercise all its might to cheat you of your overtime, your benefits and you are...on your own.

Got to be yet another hell-of-a profit center.

Which const. right will the businessman force you to give up next ? How about your vote ? Sound good ?

I found it interesting that the accusations against Bernie just happened to pop up right as the 2020 campaigns were about to start. Who is it, do you think, that CNN is hoping to see gets the nomination?

Someone who can win?

It is well established communists and most anarchists represent the extreme left of the political spectrum. If you don’t realize that you need to take poli sci 101.

No that is clearly not poli sci 101. Go look it up, fascism, autocracy, totalitarianism...is right wing politics.

A better try than some though.

The extreme left is about as strong as it has even been in the Democrat party. Obama sort of laid the foundation for this. The main stream Democrats are more moderate and practical minded and know the US, a whole, is not ready for socialism, especially after the changes Trump has made. If the extreme left is coddled too much and gains momentum, this could challenge the establishment and divide the Democrat party, allowing Trump to win in 2020, with even less votes than last time.

CNN is the propaganda wing of the establishment Democrat party. The new secondary job of CNN is to show the newbies how the DNC will deal with even their own kind, if they do not play ball, their way. This, although necessary to maintain a unified front, may backfire with Trump forming an alliance with the Democrat extreme left, to help each other take on the establishment Democrats. A common enemy can make temporary allies of two adversaries. Then they can double cross each other after the witch is dead.

Well now we know what you...want to believe.

HumblePi said:

I believe you are conflating the two terms 'attack' and 'report'. CNN has an obligation to report the news, good or bad, on any possible presidential candidate. As an example, Bernie Sanders is no exception and it's up to Bernie to either reassure voters regarding the allegations or ignore them which would be a political mistake.

But you have to understand, when any reporting doesn't satisfy the political prejudices of the right...it is biased.

For for far too many on the right, for another to just show any real knowledge on any given issue, is...to show bias.

Result...ignorance and a satisfied feeling of sticking with what one...wants to believe.

Say it isn't so, that a leftist reporter actually asked a democrat candidate to go on record openly declaring his or her position on homosexuality? Don't these morons know that nailing them down will likely result in their loss in the election, like Matt Lauer's horrible mistake of asking Hillary about her missing emails that Congress was still looking for, resulting in her high flying candidacy nosediving into the ground?

I am not so sure. W lost 22 million emails, didn't get a peep out of the right. Rice and Powell had private servers while at state,

not even any kind of investigation. We all know why, they had an 'R' after their name.

All you have to do is read the titles of the videos CNN posted.

And yet stratospherically above par compared to both trump and W.

Comey said Hillary was guilty of breaking federal laws but he was going to forgive her because he did not think she meant any harm by it. I have no idea if Comey commented on anyone else's emails.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion and it's great that CNN actually brings people on with dissenting points of view. That's what a constructive dialog is all about.

The 2020 Presidential race is going to be so much fun! President Trump is waiting for the democratic field to be cleared!
