It’s long past time for Dem politicians to push back against CNN as well. They need to call the network out when on a show or being interviewed and even stop going on the network. Liberals in general need to stop watching.
Sorry, but this bullshit of “all points of view” is just that, bullshit. Does CNN feel the need to hire actual socialist to present that side? Oh no they don’t do they. This is how the right-wing is finally reaping the benefits of 40 years of public media bashing (and they did have a plan!) while liberals just stood around and laughed. It worked people!
I’ve joked that if Hitler literally rose from the grave as a zombie and entered politics that CNN and the NYT would rush out to hire nazi zombies to “present all sides fairly”.
That’s an easy one. There aren’t any, any more. The modern Republican party claims the heritage of a conservative movement which had some modicum of intellectual integrity, but has sorted itself into a cult. Defenders of it are, almost by definition, not rational.
I stopped watching CNN when they started to load up their programs with 12 people for a 10 minute piece. Same for FOX, when you don’t have “experts” on subjects but opinions on subjects you’re not doing your job.
I think one has to make a distinction between actual conservatives and current Republicans.
To your point, I guess if they are looking for Trump supporters (as opposed to intelligent conservatives) then maybe they are stuck with nothing but crazy people.
Just remember that CNN, like MSNBC, is in the entertainment business. Entertaining their viewers is important to ratings. Fox on the other hand is in the propaganda business. Entertainment is important only as a tool to make the propaganda go down.
Yes, I’ve tried to get the US Holocaust Museum to get several known Holocaust deniers on their board and give them a voice, just to show how dumb they are.
The stupidity and dumbness is not the point. I don’t need this stupid sonofabitch on any network farting out of his mouth.
From my point of view, CNN is a big part of the problem because they’re an entertainment channel posing as a news channel that has a stranglehold on the national discourse as we focus on gossip and speculation because it’s better for ratings. They’re conformists who support liberal policies but like Republicans better and think that makes them moderates. I find it doubtful they’ll allow my viewpoint on the air.
