Isgur has never worked in journalism but will coordinate news coverage of the 2020 campaigns

A perfect match for CNN.

The inconvenient fact is she has no journalism experience or education.

Megan Kelly was off the table? CNN should have learned from that one.

trump will still hate on you.

I have no doubt she’ll be great for their bottom line. Unfortunately, that’s what CNN management sees as their final deliverable. If good news coverage happens incidentally along the way, well, that’s just a bonus.

CNN - the place where intelligent and nuanced perspectives on the news go to die.

CNN has figured out the best way to get to the Front of the Line for accessing the estimated $1 BILLION in Trump 2020 Campaign advertising money.

It really is as sImple as that.

And this is the goal of citizens united. Not the right free speech but the media profits and money laundering from paid speech.

The Jeff Zucker shitshow getting shittier. But props to how well he fellates his old Apprentice pal.

I quit watching CNN when they hired Lewandowsky. Not once since then have I landed back on CNN. I invite you to do the same.

I hope Jim Acosta is sending out his resume to MSNBC. They could use a few White House reporters with enough balls to ask the hard questions and be willing to stand up to a tyrant when he refuses to answer or lies through his teeth on camera.

MSNBC is going need a deep bench of reporters with stiff spines. Bullshit Mountain at 1600 will get a whole lot larger as 2020 approaches. Gonna need some Johnny on the spot to fact-check this asshole though it might mean all their hair will fall out trying to do so.

And fuck CNN…Ted Turner sold off one of the best news organizations at the time to become such a shadow of its former self. It barely has any real history of its original founding at this point. Plus, its really hard to watch Wolf huff and puff and take long pauses in all the wrong places when he speaks anyway. That guy is simply unwatchable. Even when the host is good though, the people they bring on to offer comments are some of the worst.

No matter how far CNN tilts to the right Trump and FOX just continue to call it extreme left wing anyway, so we end up with two entities on the right side of the spectrum yelling at each other about which one is “liberal”, spinning off locked in the phantom zone for eternity.

You may have heard that Sarah Isgur will be joining CNN in the coming weeks as a Political Editor. We wish we had been able to share this news with you before it was reported in the press but as Washington is a town full of journalists, news like this sometimes gets out.

Big media exists to protect big money.

They don’t care about news; they care about profits.

There’s only one way to successfully compete with FAUX News: Hire political editors with no editorial experience, pollsters who can’t add and, my favorite, chyron writers who can’t spell.

Next up look for Miasma with Meghan McCain along with a late afternoon show featuring two twits and (if Bible Spice is unavailable) a blond bimbo called Mornin’, Y’all.

I think MSNBC does a pretty good job. I don’t find any problem with their inviting republicans on for a discussion. I think Ali Velshi does a great job and Nicole Wallace and Katy Tur are excellent. At night we have Hayes, Maddow and McDonnell.

It should go without being said, but don’t watch CNN, convince your friends and family to not watch CNN and if you can, turn it off on any public TV that’s tuned to CNN until after the election.
