Seriously, this is disgusting. CNN should have their license pulled for the kind of crap they pull. This is sleazy and underhanded.
Here’s that shocking inflammatory headline CNN had no problem putting out today: Sources: Zinke tells employees diversity isn’t important
Well holy $hit! If Ryan Zinke tells employees that diversity isn’t important, he must be the biggest racist on the planet, right? That’s certainly what CNN wants you to think with this headline. They were so invested in this crap, that they also tweeted it out.
Now let’s go the the actual article, where they reinforce the idea that Zinke is a diversity-hating racist:
Several employees at the Interior Department have told CNN that Secretary Ryan Zinke repeatedly says that he won’t focus on diversity, an apparent talking point that has upset many people within the agency.
Three high-ranking Interior officials from three different divisions said that Zinke has made several comments with a similar theme, saying “diversity isn’t important,” or “I don’t care about diversity,” or “I don’t really think that’s important anymore.”
That seals it. Anonymous sources say that Raysn Zinke hates diversity, so there can be no doubt he’s what would happen if Hitler and the KKK had a baby. Except the third paragraph in this article tells a radically different story:
Each time, Zinke followed with something along the lines of, “what’s important is having the right person for the right job,” or “I care about excellence, and I’m going to get the best people, and you’ll find we have the most diverse group anyone’s ever had,” the sources said.
Oh, so Ryan Zinke is all about hiring the most qualified people possible? And he believes that getting the best people for the job will lead to a kick ass and diverse agency?
CNN knew damn well that Rayna Zinke isn’t opposed to diversity and that he is not a racist, but they went ahead with this headline anyways. Is this something they learned in journalism school or did they pick this up from click-bait innovators BuzzFeed?
Diversity is our dilution; not our strength.
Where is that island? I just want to be free of this garbage.
Liberals celebrate diversity by trying to make everybody the same. This is communism folks. Let’s celebrate people’s God given talents and MAGA!
If the media is trying to out him? He’s a keeper!!!!!
Fuckem.
Talking to CNN or any other DemSM should be grounds for immediate dismissal.
But note that all sources are “anonymous”. Which means that the whole thing is pulled out of thin air, it never happened, except in CNN’s fevered Libtard imagination.
Of course he’s racist! He’s White. He has to be!

I seem to remember an old saying that says: They’ve lost the argument when they resort to calling you names. So why don’t I feel like we’re winning?
Maybe the answer is because we are in the middle of a war that is a lot bigger than most people realize!
How audacious, you mean this guy is more interested in results?
The dems think that when they’re in charge they are to fill positions with cronies and useless layabouts who vote the right way.
“Three high-ranking Interior officials from three different divisions …” who should be fired, immediately.
“Diversity” if NewSpeak for “nihilistically/socialistically infested” and has nothing to do with race, creed, color, or national origin.
Clean house – get the liars and the thieves out of the bureaucracy.
izlamo delenda est …
when they say diversity of workforce they mean diversity of effective “results”.
can’t have too much competence, you must have some failure.
They don’t seem to care about the diversity of the NBA or NFL (not enough short fat guys)
H/T to Rush, who years ago said conservatives know they win debates when desperate liberals start throwing around accusations of racism.
CN who? :shrug:
Cable channels don’t have a ‘license’. They can say whatever they want, as long as they have enough well paid lawyers to defend them in court.
This really is a no brainer. Just think of it in the logical term of “Fake News”.
But… if hiring the best performing people is racist (misogynist?, transphobic?, exclusionary? — what’s the Right™ word for this two minute’s hate?), that would mean that the accusers know the excluded are… um… what’s the Right™ word for this two minute’s hate?
Great idea Zinke.
Well, he is a white guy…..
