supermike80 1,258 Posted June 10, 2019 I check it out..I think it is close to one of the worst examples of "journalism" ever to exist in the history of mankind, but I do check it out. Have you guys ever seen this goofball? https://www.cnn.com/2019/06/10/politics/donald-trump-cnbc-tariffs-china-mexico/index.html How can anyone call this journalism. I mean my God. It's so bad I actually am embarrassed for the guy that has to approve that for publication. ETA: Jesus-Hoppin-Christ...I just realized he's the EDITOR AT LARGE!!! I posted this at FBG too.....They are quite the CNN loving bunch over there, and I just can't see it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Djgb13 2,338 Posted June 10, 2019 I don’t like any of the news. They are all biased pieces of sh1t. The days of unbiased facts are LONG passed us. Now it’s all opinion pieces with multiple heads arguing with each other to the tops of their voices. I usually have to collect info from both sides to piece together what ACTUALLY happened without all the spin added to it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Problem is liberals control the media and social network platforms. Say what you will, but liberals are pretty smart and innovative. They know how to connect with a lot of younger generations. Those generations LOVE sand CRAVE drama. Almost all their shows are about that. That’s how they get them into the news and politics. Create drama. They are stupid. They know what they are doing. Problem is it’s gonna backfire on them eventually. If there’s ever a major war or, God forbid, another civil war you think those kids are gonna even have the slightest chance at surviving? They can’t talk their way out of that or retreat to their safe space. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Did that conversation on the other bored. Not gonna do it again here. That, as I have said a million times, is a simple minded response. Of course it should be reported on. CNN had an agenda because their CEO is very pro Trump. And they laid it on full. I completely believe that and will never change my opinion. If you want to reply with little simple minded answers, that's fine, but I don't have time for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brad GLuckman 518 Posted June 11, 2019 Pot...kettle From CNN Quote For anyone who watches Fox News Channel, it's not at all surprising that its anchors and hosts (with few notable exceptions) talk up President Donald Trump while knocking down the Democrats running against him in 2020. While that position puts Fox somewhere in the grey area between journalism and activism, it's not exactly new. There are ratings in partisanship -- so Fox News engages in partisanship. https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2019/06/10/politics/joe-biden-age-fox-news-oldest-2020-democrats/index.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Observer 641 Posted June 11, 2019 Just like Fox News, you have to know which personalities are legitimate reporters and which are just saying what they think the hacks want to hear. Fox News has Chris Wallace and Shepard Smith. Both are legit and aren't afraid to call out injustices, even if they are committed by a Republican. Not surprisingly, a lot of conservatives don't care for them and wish they'd be fired. With CNN, there are a few really good Sunday morning hosts. Victor Blackwell and Fareed Zakaria are outstanding (although Zakaria is a genius who sometimes talk over the head of 50% of the viewers). Of the daily hosts, Wolf Blitzer and Chris Cuomo are the best. Cuomo will call out Democrats if he feels they are out of line. Anderson Cooper, Don Lemon, and Erin Burnette hate Trump so much that they aren't even worth listening to. They are the equivalent of Hannity and Carlson. Fun to watch if you want to hear someone hate as much as you do. But don't plan on learning anything factual. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At least Fox is honest about what they do. I've watched whole shows where Tucker never mentions Trump. Numerous times. He happens to be aligned with Trump on immigration. Always has been. Much of his program is about that. Hannity on the other hand has dedicated his show to defending Trump during the Russia Hoax and now calling for justice to those that broke our laws to spy on a political campaign.

If Dictator Trump ever did actually create state radio, like they had in Nazi Germany, there is zero doubt that Hannity would be the central figure. I'm just trying to figure out if he's going to stay on Fox when Trump's presidency is over. How do you rebound as a journalist after throwing away every shred of credibility?
