You are receiving this message because you posted in defense of Donald Trump. I no longer provide individual responses on this matter. It has been my experience that Trump supporters are universally incapable of accepting verifiable truths about him and, by extension, themselves, thus rendering discussion pointless and, therefore, a waste of time.
I wish you all the best in your ongoing battle with reality.
Yeah seriously this used to be the norm when it came to talking about CNN. Does no one remember how much flak they and every other news company got during the late Bush era for their initial positivr coverage of Iraq?
Who are these people who do this shit to anything funny on the internet? It's like a given that whenever you're trying to find some meme the first instance you find is "transformed" like this.
It's that fucking me.me website. Their name combined with the slight modification of the image means they get a huge boost in google ranking for image searches for memes. It's annoying.
The only time the Dems broke rank and supported Trump was to drop something like 20,000 bombs on Syria and it cost hundreds of millions and resulted in no positive results.
The dems were pissed off because Trump told Syria via Russia where he was striking which meant everyone got evacuated apart from two people. He did so little damage that they were flying plans out of there the next day.
Each of those missiles costs $1.4 million. That means for $82.6 million, the USA managed to destroy 10 sheds and do so much damage that the airbase was out of commission for several hours. If you fly on a budget airline you'll often be delayed for longer than that. It only cost almost $100 million to do less damage than a discounted plane ticket.
Do you know how much SAM batteries cost? 100 million per unit, at least for S-300 which is what I assume the Syrians use. 10 planes were destroyed which could range from anywhere coupe million to 100s of millions each.
Going to war with pragmatism is different than threatening to go to war because of something you read on the internet while taking a long and unhealthy poop.
WOW at some of these comments. You all do realize CNN is probably the most centrist mainstream broadcast TV source out there, right? FoxNews is WAY right and MSNBC leans more left than them. The fact that they hired someone with this much political bias out there publicly is clearly going to backfire on their left leaning viewers. Most on the right already watch Fox and hate CNN. This is just a dumb move as they are not stealing any Fox News viewers at this point.
If one thing is true, it is that CNN's correspondents do not have their will set upon the divine, they have not received God's grace and turned from the ever changeable.
These people are literal lunatics holy shit. I brought up the stuff with Don Lemon being a dumbass for asking the black hole question a bunch of times and got massively downvoted. But now that CNN dared hiring a conservatard they suddenly care about this?
Ehh tons of /r/politics people have hated CNN for ages. They're basically the 24 hour cable news entity that pioneered the demise of journalism. So much screaming. Everything, ever is "BREAKING NEWS!" Every show has the grid with the 7000 screaming talking heads. And so much contrived fake debate with so little substance... "oh there's a flu outbreak, better invite some anti-vaxers to keep it balanced!".
Actually now that I describe it, why doesn't /r/drama love CNN? Jesus fuck it's dramatic (but headache-causing).
What do you mean by the demise of journalism though? The Arkansas Democrat Gazette and the New Hampshire Union Leader (and other papers with similar titles) betray their partisan roots. "Objective journalism" was only a thing for like 30 years because, for whatever reason, FDR chadded the US into a few decades of consensus everybody trusted Walter Cronkite's mustache.
It's like people forgot about the press' pre-WWII reputation. William Randolph Hearst literally took credit for the Spanish-American war because of his paper's rabble-rousing.
It's not because of Woodward and Bernstein, it's that the profession has increasingly coalesced around 3-4 urban centers instead of being mostly made up of local reporters.
The average journalist used to be roaming the streets and following leads, now it's mostly trust fund kids in Williamsburg skimming through twitter.
I'm pretty left but all politics aside this is why I hate CNN. It's just panels of people yelling over each other. I learn nothing and I'm dumber for having watched. Thanks, CNN.
Why don't CNN hire full on maga guys and some social democrats.
They should go further and get the full spectrum on there: Tankies, Anarcho-Syndicalists, Pedophiles oops I mean Libertarians, Monarchists, the other Monarchists who support the rival contender for the royal throne, Hawaiian Separatists, Hippies, Latin American Dictators, African Child Warlords, the lot of 'em.
Because the only demographic that watches cable news (or pays for cable) is aging neocons and neolibs. CNN wants to poach the Fox News audience, but they can't go full MAGA or they'll scare off some of their existing audience (and they can't out-crazy Fox News anyways).
Bullshit political party lines aside-- CNN has realized that neocons and non-populist/leftist Dems have more in common than they have different, if they can just get over a few social issues and party identities. All these people are broadly neoliberals. Reagan and Thatcher were the OG neolibs, and the Clintons carried on the tradition.
All of them are united by belief in globalism, economic liberalism, privatization, financial deregulation, free trade, reduced govt spending, etc. But party identity makes people think that these groups are very different. Nah.
If the US had a parliamentary govt, you can imagine maybe 3 or 4 political parties emerging. The neocons and neolibs as economically liberal hawkish globalists (either in 1 party or 2 parties with a coalition). The populist right wing. The populist left wing. With the right and left uniting over certain labor / economic protectionism issues... strong borders, tariffs, etc.
But yeah... TL;DR the whole thing makes sense. CNN wants to court as many neolib Republicans as they can without frightening off the neolib Dems. Old neolibs pay for cable. Millenials and leftists don't, and would want to raise CNN's taxes. Fox has the Trump-Republican market cornered.
The populist right wing. The populist left wing. With the right and left uniting over certain labor / economic protectionism issues... strong borders, tariffs, etc.
Yeah the 1970s labor movement populist lefties that were also strong border advocates like ceasar chavez etc are gone from the left. Its mostly the long term invasion plan leftists that want to redo the treaty were mexico lost half their land. They want california speaking spanish exclusively in 10 years. Texas and then arizona next. They want no borders. Not sure the populist left will align with any party on anything.
If the US had a parliamentary govt, you can imagine maybe 3 or 4 political parties emerging. The neocons and neolibs as economically liberal hawkish globalists (either in 1 party or 2 parties with a coalition).
Isgur’s duties have little to do with overseeing or running CNN’s political coverage, according to a person familiar with the matter. Her task will be to help put together coverage across the outlet’s TV and digital operations. She is one of several editors at that level who report to David Chalian, a vice president and political director at CNN.
