What Is The Point of CNN?

WFB:

CNN is a mid-tier cable news network that provides non-stop breaking news to bored airport travelers and internet journalists. The network has breathlessly covered President Donald Trump’s every fart and utterance since 2015 and has contributed to the “national dialogue” through countless interviews with serious public intellectuals. Michael Avenatti, for example.

One of CNN’s most recent hires, former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe, was found to have lied to federal investigators under oath prior to his firing in March 2018. In addition to his role as CNN contributor, McCabe has a new side hustle: Keynote speaker at Democratic Party fundraisers.

And speaking of the network’s keen eye for talent, CNN invited celebrity white nationalist Richard Spencer on in June to discuss Donald Trump’s “racist tweets.” Brian Stelter, who hosts a show called Reliable Sources, recently nodded along as his guest, former Duke University chair of psychiatry Allen Francis, argued that Trump “may be responsible for many more million deaths” than genocidal dictators Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, and Mao Zedong.

It wasn’t the first time Trump has been compared to Hitler on the network. CNN host Don Lemon did it in July, which could explain why the New York Times has reportedly banned reporters from appearing on Lemon’s show. In addition to interviewing Michael Avenatti dozens of times on his show, Lemon hosted the disgraced lawyer at a party in the Hamptons. read more

  1. “What Is The Point of CNN?”

    …to convince everyone, despite anything like facts or reality, that Orange Man Bad.

    …That’s really their entire plan. They don’t even care what comes after. Even if it’s this…

    …nope, all that matters is “Orange Man Bad”, nothing else is of ANY importance, to THEM.

    …just keep THIS in mind, should they succeed…

    “And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?… The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If…if…We didn’t love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation…. We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”

    ― Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn , “The Gulag Archipelago”

  2. The kid in junior high who dressed like the Brady Bunch kids with wide corduroy hip huggers, pull over shirt with zipper and LARGE brass pull ring followed by patent leather platform shoes. You tell him he looks like a dork but he knows better. Thats CNN!

  3. part of their point is to create the need for the anxiety and depression medications that they then sell advertisements for. The medications that don’t fix or cure anything- they just ‘cover’ it over and create further problems of their own. Sort of how democrats govern, actually.

  4. They just need to Bolster their News Team with more Transvestites and

    other assorted Freaks….If it’s good enough for the Local Library..

    It’s good enough for CNN …The most Trussed News Source on TV.

  5. Democrats are obsessed with killing things and things that kill. Remove killing from the conversation and suddenly there’s very little material to work with. That’s why CNN sounds like a broken record. It’s pretty sad actually, going through LIFE and all you think about is DEATH.

  6. LCD, I agree with you. I was glued to CNN during the first few days of the Gulf War. It was happening now and not like the TV coverage of Vietnam. When Bernard Shaw was crouching down at the window as you could see the tracers streak across the sky; that was news.

    Don’t remember when it stopped being news, but I know that during the coverage of 9-11, I never turned to CNN.

  7. For 39 years CNN’s point has been – America is bad because Americans are bad. Therefore it needs to be destroyed and replaced with a “kinder gentler America”

    this has been true for the NYT for 90 years, and the post for 71 years.
