Sounds like a plan.

That should go without saying but he doesn’t seem to have any problem putting them on TV at the moment.

You mean Sarah won’t be a candidate for broadcasting job at CNN? Can you imagine how their viewership would plummet if she was?

Zucker will stick to this committment. Until about 9:15-AM on November 7th.

Several interesting similar articles on Raw Story that seem to point to his admin on the verge of collapsing. Which should be good in he long run, but I imagine will cause a lot of issue it self. Hope the US gets through it without too much damage.

Edit:This is interesting too. And not really surprising. I’ve always felt Donald only cared about himself and has no concern for others except maybe somewhat for his kids. And sad and pathetic he’s so driven buy peoples seeming admiration of him. Makes me feel like his relation to his dad, similar to his son’s, is all about getting praise they just don’t get enough of or that the dads refuse.

Shouldn’t news sources not hiring vile, lying sonsofbitches be a given? Is that really asking too much?

He talks like he runs a company that didn’t hire Corey Lewandowski.

Oh, a total collapse into anarchy and eventual disintegration into several factional, warring regions would probably be a good thing. We had a good run, but after 225 years of inflicitng massacres, assassinations, government overthrows, undeclared wars, supporting various ethnic cleansings, tortures, incarceration of innocents, suppression of democracies overseas, driving Native Americans to virtual extinction, lynchings, enslavements, land grabs, criminal pollution of the environment, laying waste to various islands and atolls through nuclear testing and a few dozen other heinous acts I’d say it’s time to pay the piper.

We are Abu Ghraib.

If Zucker is exempting Nimrata Haley, then he operates with a different definition of “credibility” than I do.

credibility
[kred-uh-bil-i-tee]
noun

  1. the quality of being believable or worthy of trust: After all those lies, his credibility was at a low ebb.

I’m hoping this is just the last breath of a dying Republican party in a long string of racist. masochistic parties, Democratic included, and that nicer folks will finally wake up and push the US back to the left. Maybe like the evolution of homosapien where the neanderthals could adapt and didn’t go on. Hopefully we can.

The only things we’re refining right now are our weaponry and assorted methods for inflicitng pain, misery, poverty and oppression on our citizens and those of other nations.

As some Trump administration officials eye the exits after the midterms, CNN President Jeff Zucker doesn’t want to hire any Trump alums who helped the President spread false information,

He added that his own decision to prominently feature Trump on CNN newscasts in the early stages of his candidacy, when Trump’s crank ravings were ratings gold, was an unpardonable error, and that he would resign to do penance for his part in fostering the worst presidency in American history.
And then I woke up.

Well a lot of other modern nations seem to be where we need to be. As Bill Murray’s character said in Stripes, our ancestors were kicked out of every good country, so it’s taking a while longer! I mean a majority did vote for Hillary, it’s just republicans have been allowed to do things that make it where they can stay in office in spite of declining and Democrats need to fix that asap when they get power back. Hopefully Donald is enough of a wakeup call and it doesn’t have to go any further down. Hey Australia has a similar criminal asiliam history and it seems like they have stopped the slide right.

I won’t hold my breath. They’re not going to abandon bothsider-ism or food fight tv and they’ll need to refresh their lineup of knuckleheads.

Apparently, there is enough confusion on this point that Zucker has to state it specifically.

That’s right! Zucker will not hire anyone who helps President Trump lie. He’ll only hire anyone who helps Candidate Trump lie.

Zucker helped create the Trump presidency. And for that, Trump’s minions are rewarding him with pipe bombs. Good job Zucker!

Balls.

At last.

All i want now is for Aunt Lydia to try and get a job with a news outlet and the organization to say publicly, “We don’t want a liar.”
