All you libs crying and sticking up for fake news CNN, Time, Washington Post is exciting to watch. Really enjoy how you guys slant everything your way and cant take off your own rose colored glasses yet call out us republicans all the time for doing the same.

I enjoy seeinf the falling of the Communist News Network. Although, calling CNN that does a disservice to communism. Cnn is too fake for even that!!
Lordy, I guess that is one way to describe them.

Some people are just proud of parroting talking points written for white nationalists along with buckshot types.

I'm still trying to figure out why I should give a shit what a CNN health producer's personal opinion is on a news event.

So much this.

Perhaps I'm not as big of a hack as you thought I was? Literally this is all this producer admitted to so that is literally all I will say he admitted to.

The guy in the video has nothing to do with political programming on CNN. He is voicing an opinion, not stating fact.

Nobody said there were actually tapes and he never insinuated that he did the recording.

Of course Trump insinuated that he taped the conversation-

James Comey better hope that there are no "tapes" of our conversations before he starts leaking to the press!

Trump invented the whole notion that tapes might exist. Take you cues from Spicer's word salad-

First of all it's 100% not fake news. That's the sort of lie that we all need to agree to condemn. Mistakes are not fake news, deliberate deception is. Conservatives have tried to take that term and twist it to avoid accountability from the media.

Second, CNN appears to have done exactly what a reputable news organization does. Recognize a mistake and hold those responsible accountable. Every organization makes mistakes, it's just a question of whether you ignore them like Fox News and Breotbart do or if you confront them like responsible people.

Oh, not 100%? So what is the acceptable percentage? Why has hardly anyone condemned what they did in this thread? Instead side stepping and "duhverting". People like you, accuse others of that all the time. Shoe is on the other foot, suddenly its a-ok. Because they think its ok, thats why. This type of activity, and even violence is deemed "ok" on anyone who is a Trump supporter, we've seen it time and time again.

Its funny that CNN's top story for hours is how they're the victim in this. Just like Gifford is trying to claim after holding up Trumps head. Don't take accountability, just claim unfair judgement. Susan Rice doing the same thing right now, claiming racial and gender bias. Throwing other names under the bus. Never mind that it needs looking into. She's the victim too.

Since you brought up "deliberate deception", https://www.washingtonpost.com/blog...e-on-florida-hospital/?utm_term=.32de27f49b9a

CNN getting sued for doing just that. CNN tried to get it thrown out, judge said no. NYT getting sued as well by Palin. While she's a dope, she has a good case. The false argument that Fox is the only shitty news site is wrong, and laughable. They all have a bias and do this sort of activity.

My reply was more to the people who don't condemn this sort of activity when CNN or the like do it, only when Fox or similar sites do it. Thats hypocrisy, and proves they don't care about the real issue.

What is there to condemn? The fact that CNN retracted the story and fired those involved? Pardon me while I go look for some faux outrage. : rollseyes:

I don't like the fact CNN did this, they should be EXTRA vigilant about this type of thing given the constant barage of accusation of "Fake News" being thrown everwhere.

That being said, they corrected the problem, fired some people, and they have been very transparent about all of it.

The same can't be said for other news/media organizations (Rhymes with "PoxNews")

Firing sacrificial lambs doesn't correct the problem when directives came from the top.

Media outlets need to be intensely careful when reporting on the Trump regime. The fake news narrative he pushes to the fanatics holds with the indoctrinated, and any slip-ups - like this one, are going to be costly. It's not a good idea to cut any corners or rush any story when you have a lunatic like Trump trying to undermine the press so he can push himself as the source for real information.

The indoctrinated radicalized Republican base is already going for it. The mountainous irony is lost on them that an incredibly dishonest piece of shit like Trump going after any entity for dishonesty is ridiculous. So all news outlets need to be careful not to make a single mistake.

In bizarro land maybe.

All liberals live in bizarro land. That is why the fall for the Russian influence narrative foisted by the corrupt media. They are still mad Hillary lost and are only in it for revenge now.

Now sane person thinks Russian influence will go anywhere, only stupid liberals in la-la land.

i just watched a Republican congressman on the news completely disagree with you because you are dead wrong.

Russia is currently the greatest threat to our democracy and the current president, like you, is ignoring that reality.

that makes you a traitor and threat to America, imo.

As a paid troll living in Russia Felix can't be a traitor. He is a very patriotic Russian.

Not sure how anyone can stand any of the cable news networks. CNN does seem to be the worst at the moment but that honor waffles and might be because Fox News is crumbling within. None of it is journalism, it's just ratings driven paranoia drivel.

PBS seems decent, I'll stick to that.

That you don't tire of being wrong isn't a bad thing.
Your narrative is falling apart piece by piece, but yea, everyone else is crazy...
