How CNN Just Might Get Trump Reelected

This is why so many of us no longer take CNN seriously.



I'm fine with opinion shows. I have no problem with opinion shows that present cases I don't agree with. Heck, I'm a free speech kind of guy and if you want to be a blithering idiot on TV then knock yourself out.

But, as a business owner, I'd be a little concerned that garbage like this on my network was limiting my audience rather than expanding it. Anyway, that kind of dismissive garbage is a really big part of what put Trump in the White House and it's likely to do so again.

I thought you said before you didn't watch CNN? You gave it another shot?
 
Remember when the right-wing of America spent 8 years complaining that Obama was thin-skinned? The last 3 years have been really eye-opening.
 
As someone who's watched CNN for decades, largely because it originally was "the most trusted name in news", I can firmly attest to the fact that CNN isn't even remotely a trustworthy source of unbiased opinion and news. The days of the great Bernard Shaw and Judy Woodruff as professional, all business, news anchors is long gone from CNN. Even when Ted Turner and socialist idiot Jane Fonda owned the station there was never this level of left wing bat **** crazy nonsense that purports to be news and unbiased opinion.

It's really quite sad. There are many in the world who accept CNN as the gold standard for western news media and that's now a disgrace.

You are just clueless. I just shake my head at crap like this and wonder "what were they thinking?"

That comment by Hillary could have very well cost her the election and it seems those liberal talking heads learned nothing from that.

I don't think anyone who was offended by that comment was ever going to vote for Hillary.

Spare me the faux outrage, being a partisan is exactly how this nation operates on a daily level. A two party system is by nature partisan. Anyone who fools themselves into thinking that they are somehow equivalent is a misguided soul without any understanding of our modern politics. We have two choices every election cycle. I made mine a long time ago and have been rewarded ever since by a party that does most if not all I care about as a voter and American. The right wingers base does the exact same thing as does every single Fox News viewer every single day. The only real debate is how big each group really is at election time. The numbers are on the left, the system is geared towards protecting the right due to the nature of our undemocratic system. There has not been one single Republican in my 64 year lifetime that I would vote for, not one. So yes, I proudly carry the label of Democratic Partisan and it is not a slur except on right wing media. If I am a partisan, what in the hell do you think a conservative is?

I agree... The Hillary comment didn't flip anyone from her to Trump, but what it did do in my opinion, was motivate unenthusiastic conservatives & republican voters to show up to the polls on election day to vote against her.

If this is a metric on how presidents get elected then the limiting garbage that FOX has put out over the years should have, according to your theory, slammed Dem presidents into the White House each election since the 90's.

Go watch Bret Baier, Martha McCallum, or Neil Cavuto and tell me they're not fair journalists. They are. They're about the only ones left on air in the American press. There isn't anyone, not a single show host, like those three on CNN or MSNBC.

The video is exactly why Trump's re-election is already baked in. And they know it.

Wolf Blitzer is exactly like the other three people you mentioned. Great journalism still abounds. It just doesn't win ratings.

He saw some RW media making fun of CNN. He only posted a CNN clip directly to try to make it look like this is something he came up with himself, having watched it.

Not only are you a partisan, your defense of that is ludicrous, and your rationale is laughable. When you folks get handed your a** in 2020, you should take some time to reflect on what the hell you did to make that happen, because that crap is exactly why we have Donald J. Trump as president.

This is gonna be a huge blow to the Democrats. It's worse than the deplorable comment. This will be used against them all the way to election day. Those laughs will turn to crying come November for these pompous A holes.

I've been saying that Don Lemon is the biggest piece of crap for years. He will pay for this.

I agree with you. CNN is absolute garbage now.

I believe you are right. One of the biggest reasons that Hillary lost was her "deplorables" fiasco. Whatever adviser planned that statement should have been fired immediately. You do not insult the electorate. You may spew hatred all day long (and CNN does) at Trump and even that is a problem, but when you go after the voters as if they are from West Virginia and married their sister and make moonshine for a living and have missing teeth, you have committed the cardinal sin.

The problem is is that everyone who breathes knows by now that CNN is the lobbying arm of the Democratic party and is just a extension of their election campaign. Therefore, anything CNN says is just like when Hillary said it and it sunk her.

The Republicans will keep this tape and run it often a month before the election saying, "Listen America.......this is what the Democrats REALLY think of you"

Trump said his supporters are so cult-like that he could murder someone in broad daylight and they’d support him. He told Jewish voters that they’d support him even if they hate him because they only care about money.

Forging statements and pulling everything as grossly out of context as you can, has never really worked for your camp Dans. So don't act like it's actually going to start doing as such now.

He also joked that Russia should find Hillary's destroyed emails and Mexico would pay for the wall. I think the difference is that left wingers have no sense of humor.

That's one of the excuses Trumpers and his apologists use to explain away his corrupt, racist, and rancid criminality. The final one being, 'Yeah, he did it. Deal with it.'

Mexico will pay for the wall is another boast that drives the left bonkers, along with "Russia should find Hillary's DESTOYED emails" and "My crowd size was n=bigger than Obama's"

All of these blatant "lies" are just too much for one snowflake to take.
 
They made fun of the Americans that voted for Trump, just because they wanted populism and change. I'm tired of their elitists attitudes towards the rest of us. Democrats don't like blue collar workers we get that, but you don't have to display out in public. If you all want to continue looking down your fellow Americans that's your right, but expect to lose more national elections. Noone likes those stuck up snotty attitudes. Blue Collar workers is what makes big business work everyday. The laborers, cleaners, maintenance people, those are the ones that should be really respected.
 
By the way I got a Elizabeth Warren sticker in the mail today and I threw it in the trash. Don't send that nonsense to me please.

No, it’s the fact that truth simply does not emanate from the White House in any fashion. Anyone who believes anything that comes out of the Trump Admin is a plain fool.

I have asked this of many leftists. Please give me his worst "lies" while he is president.

That’s the rub, isn’t it? He lies so egregiously and so plentifully that it would be a full time job just to find the Top Ten. He is following the Bannon model of ‘flooding the zone with ****’ (Bannon’s stated method of discrediting the media). People are overwhelmed by the amount of lies. His entire existence is a lie. He named his son after the lie which started his empire. Asking me to sift through Trump’s Mount Everest of BULL**** to find the worst nuggets is not a game I’m willing to play.

Trump is probably most deceitful person on the planet. Again, anyone who believes a thing he says by default is simply a ridiculous human and not worth talking to.
