The people who watch CNN as a primary source of news can't read so it's not a problem.
 
Yes, Americans are stupid as shit. With all of these ghost hunting shows, bigfoot shows, the Kardashians, Jersey Shore, etc., there is obviously an ignorant segment of society. Anyone who follows Infowars is only concerned in confirmation bias. They will believe any conspiracy theory that casts a liberal in a bad light. Calling people like that stupid isn't losing any votes. They are never going to vote Democratic.

MSN, including Fox, preaches to the choir.

You are still getting MSM here. All sources. It's nothing different than on the TV
 
The CNN producer was expressing his own personal opinion and was surreptitiously recorded doing so. This has nothing to do with CNN and that network, despite its blatant partisanship, has no vicarious responsibility for the private opinions of its employees, expressed while on a break from working. If you want to damn CNN for its partisanship there is plenty of fodder on the official reporting it does and you need not stoop to covert "gotcha!" recordings of off-duty employees to prove the network's misuse of the medium of news.

Tempest in a Teacup to bolster partisan positions.

Cheers.

So someone expressing their own individual opinions off air is a controversy now?

Hasn't it been lately?

Haven't people been fired for tweeting something or posting something on Facebook away from work?

Sure but what does that have to do with this? The point of this is to smear CNN somehow, by tying his statements to CNN. But that isn't really the case here whatsoever...

We'll leave it to our politicians to come up with some clever way to sugar-coat the facts. Those deplorables and stupid people can keep cutting their own healthcare and keep electing politicians who will exploit their ignorance, confusions, and prejudices to advance their own personal agendas. But even stupid and deplorable people will eventually realize that it really hurts to keep banging your head bloody against a brick wall. That's democracy. Democracy just means you will get what you want and deserve. And you will get it good and hard for as long as you like until you stop and cry uncle.

Really? You don't think his views on the American public is going to spill over into his work?

I seriously doubt he can keep his views out of his work.

LOL, do you really think that anyone doesn't believe that a lot of Americans are stupid? Right wing reporters believe it about the left, and left wing believe it about the right. That's just a given. And it's not like he's a politician, he's a private citizen working for a private media company. The right wing is just trying to say "look at how terrible CNN is they think you're all stupid!" when that's clearly not the case here.
 
Kellyanne looks like a makeup dummy; like a mannequin head that someone would use to practice applying makeup .............

If Trump voters are stupid as S..., what does it say about those Democratic Primary voters who voted for and nominated about the only Democrat, alive or dead that could possibly and did lose to Trump?

two things

1. dumber (Trump voters) over powered dumb (Clinton voters)

2. the electoral college (Clinton had ~3 million more votes = more dumb than dumber/make sense?)

Dumb and dumber works. But what I noticed when looking at the map of campaign visits/rallies is Trump concentrated more on the swing states than Clinton did. In other words Trump played or his game was electoral college orientated. I think Hillary was trying to run up the score as she invested heavily in Georgia, Arizona and Utah. She wanted to turn those states blue when she should have been concerned in keeping those states in her backyard or part of her blue wall.

But dumb and dumber works for me. Let's face it, everything and I mean everything had to go perfect for Trump to win. It all started with the Democrats nominating someone who was as disliked by as many Americans as Trump was. Dumb and dumber.

And you wonder why the Democrats keep losing.

It is obvious. The number of stupid people is very high. Proof is that Trump was elected and further proof is the number of Trumplicans on this board who rush to defend every idiotic move he makes.

No, it's all free speech, and he can say what he wants.

But not without judgment and consequence.

Just as stupid. The results only support that they are concentrated in different locations.
