That's why it's not unusual to see 60-40 election results for very popular candidates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just such a huge difference in vision for America right now, though. One side is anti American , anti capitalism, and anti Caucasian.

billsfan1959 Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 The CNN journalist was worried his station might be flirting with racism since they have reported on the coronavirus scandal even though China would like everyone just to pretend everything is fine. They had even referred to it as the Wuhan virus before China told them to stop. Acosta knew drastic steps had to be taken to show how not-racist he was and prove that CNN was a bastion of love, tolerance, and globalism. So, live on the air this morning, he began solemnly stuffing live bats into his mouth one at a time. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfan1959 Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Posted in another thread, but belongs here.... "Fooling thousands of readers in a prank that the cable news organization said was "just for fun," CNN published a real news story for April Fools' Day this year. The story simply contained a list of facts, with no embellishment, editorializing, or invented details. The story also didn't cite shaky "anonymous sources" and only quoted firsthand witnesses to the event. It was completely factual without any errors whatsoever." "Baffled CNN fans immediately knew something was up." 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 It Took 27 Days For CNN To Say What They Previously Accused Trump Of Lying About Watching the media response to President Trump’s handling of the pandemic has been an educational experience for anyone who has been paying attention. It seems no matter what actions the President takes or what comments and opinions he offers, somebody at the major cable networks and newspapers is standing by to jump all over him. Unfortunately, on several notable occasions, Trump has turned out to be right. And then comes the embarrassing moment when the media talking heads have to reluctantly deliver the same news. One key example of this phenomenon popped up a few weeks ago when the President offered an opinion about the mortality rate for the novel coronavirus. At that time, Dr. Anthony Fauci was estimating it to be “around two percent.” Some other medical authorities had put the figure as high as 2.6%. Trump declared that he thought it was going to be considerably lower, “way lower than one percent,” specifying that this was just “a hunch” that he had. That was all it took. The press was all over him. He was “misleading” the nation. He was “contradicting the medical community.” Trump was “at odds with what health experts are saying.” But yesterday, CNN found themselves describing the mortality rate for the virus in new terms. Oops. How many people die after being infected with the novel coronavirus? Fewer than previously calculated, according to a study released Monday, but still more than die from the flu. The research, published in the medical journal The Lancet Infectious Diseases, estimated that about 0.66% of those infected with the virus will die. That coronavirus death rate, which is lower than earlier estimates, takes into account potentially milder cases that often go undiagnosed — but it’s still far higher than the 0.1% of people who are killed by the flu. So that’s at least one bright spot of good news amidst an otherwise grim forecast for the virus. The linked report is a rather lengthy article with plenty of good information in it, including quotes from multiple medical authorities. It also includes a brief reference to the fact that the projected death rate is “lower than earlier estimates.” But do you know who isn’t quoted in that article? President Donald J. Trump. In fact, his name is never even mentioned. And, of course, there is no reference whatsoever to the CNN personalities who were excoriating the President when his “hunch” told him that it would wind up being “considerably lower” than the previous estimates and “way lower than one percent. 0.66% sure sounds “considerably lower” than 2.6% to me. In fact, it’s basically just a quarter of the old estimate. And it’s barely more than half of one percent.

B-Man Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 CNN Bombs in First Quarter, Fails to Crack Top 20 in Ratings When the CNN debuted in 1980, it soon earned a reputation as the top source for quick information 24 hours a day, all week long. That was 40 years ago and objective journalism is hard to find on the network in 2020. The liberal station has since fallen so far in the ratings that it was unable to generate even one program in the top 20 list during the first three months of 2020, which has been labeled “a dismal first quarter.” According to an article posted on Friday by Matt Vespa, the senior editor for Townhall declared: As liberal networks debate whether to pull broadcasting pressers from the President of the United States because they don’t like him, … Trump has made the network his top punching bag, and rightfully so. It’s no secret that the top brass at CNN hate Trump. Of course, Fox News continues to dominate the cable ratings while “even MSNBC, who hates Trump even more, was able to break into the top 20 on multiple fronts.” https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/randy-hall/2020/04/03/cnn-fails-crack-top-20-ratings-list-during-dismal-first-quarter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 THIS IS CNN: CNN: People Of Color Should Not Wear Face Masks. The CDC asked Americans to wear face coverings to help stop the spread of COVID-19 but CNN explains that perhaps people of color shouldn’t wear facemasks. The quote that “Trevon Logan, an economics professor at Ohio State University, will not be following this guidance.” “We have a lot of examples of the presumed criminality of black men in general,” Logan, who is black, told CNN. “And then we have the advice to go out in public in something that … can certainly be read as being criminal or nefarious, particularly when applied to black men.” Logan is not alone in his concerns. On social media and in interviews with CNN, a number of people of color — activists, academics and ordinary Americans — expressed fears that homemade masks could exacerbate racial profiling and place blacks and Latinos in danger. And that is the basic content of the article. Did they actually think this through? If everyone is wearing some sort of face covering, who is going to stand out to possibly be profiled. People who are joining the crowd and covering their faces or people who aren’t wearing face coverings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
