CNN losing credibility as each day passes... Its pure propaganda at this point


Recommended Posts

 
 

FTA:

 

You will note that a single source tells Sciutto this. Again, were the shoe on the other foot, CNN would be questioning whether Sciutto got it from someone sympathetic to his politics and Sciutto then interpreted everything else through that lens.

The key framing from CNN is that the President put the source in jeopardy. That is Sciutto’s major emphasis and, in his interview on CNN, what he goes to first until pushed for more.

Contrast that with the New York Times’ follow up reporting.

The decision to extract the informant was driven “in part” because of concerns that Mr. Trump and his administration had mishandled delicate intelligence, CNN reported. But former intelligence officials said there was no public evidence that Mr. Trump directly endangered the source, and other current American officials insisted that media scrutiny of the agency’s sources alone was the impetus for the extraction.

And it's once again helpful to point out that Scuitto was an Obama employee before becoming a "journalist". 

 

I'm sure that plays no role in his objectivity. None at all.

They stopped being journalists a long time ago and are now 24 hour infomercials for the DNC

The FBI talked to Ramirez, followed what they could find credible, but likely found what Ronan Farrow found— one of the main pushers of Ramirez’s story had only ever heard it secondhand... from someone who has no memory of it. Nonsensical hearsay. https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/will-the-fbi-ignore-testimonies-from-kavanaughs-former-classmates …

 

 

 

Read this paragraph from the New York Times, then re-read it. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/23/us/politics/brett-kavanaugh-christine-blasey-ford-testify.html

The Ramirez/Kavanaugh story completely fell apart under scrutiny and the reporters who wrote it despite embarrassing sourcing took major reputations hits.

 

That it still somehow found it’s way into a book with even the slightest editing and scrutiny should be shocking, but isn't

Breaking news via CNN, a “source” tells the network that President Trump does not want to be impeached:

 

 

 

 

.What, no second source for a claim this bold?

 

 

https://twitchy.com/gregp-3534/2019/09/25/even-resistance-hero-george-conway-is-mocking-cnns-impeachment-source/

 

Funny thing is, if Trump is impeached, he won't be convicted by the Senate, and that would prompt massive voter turnout for Trump in 2020, getting him reelected.

 

So even when CNN is being unconscionably stupid in stating the obvious, they still end up being wrong: because it secures him as second term, Trump likely wants to be impeached.

This is really damning and eye opening even for people who deny that we're being lied to, day in and day out by the media. 

 

I've used this to open a lot of friends' eyes who had been in denial. 

 

It's stunning. 

 

(And of course, MSNBC, Fox News did the SAME THING)

Is it really surprising after they selectively quoted Trump with the "fine people" line?

It's not -- but it's so blatant this time (and lacks the emotional "RACIST!" triggers) that it's VERY easy for even those who denied that event happened to see. 

 

They forked up huge trying to run that gambit. Even my lady, who holds wildly opposite opinions on this stuff as myself, was like "those *****" last night. It gave me hope. But I'm an optimist. :beer:

I agree with Tibs. After their stunning expose into Trump's ice cream consumption relative to the other guests at dinner, how can we question CNN's honesty, integrity, and neutrality.

 

Hell, they even offered to read publicly-available classified information to tell us what's in it!

In fact, didn't they demand that they read it for you and that you should not read it on your own?
