I understand why CNN didn't shut Trump down in the middle of the townhall, but...

Except that they were New Hampshire Trump supporters.

Not funny, really. Sad, though.

 

Nice try. Trump performed a whirling-slam-dunk on CNN and the pathetic moderator. CNN acknowledged the TKO by cutting the program short.

 

And yet you go into orgasmic convolutions when FauxJoe mumbles and stutters though a simple speech.

 

That to me was the most appalling thing about that town hall. The audience was predominantly MAGA minions. It should not have been. I blame Chris Licht for this horrible decision to air that show, in spite of Kaitlin Collins stellar performance, it was a train wreck on live TV.

 

Licht's the CEO but is CNN not now owned by a RW billionaire? Pretty sure they are slowly going the way of Faux Propaganda in the USA division. Hopefully their international coverage does not get politicalized.
Why billionaire John Malone’s shadow looms over CNN

 

CNN PACKED THE HALL WITH HARD CORE TRUMP SUPPORTERS SO THAT HE COULD WIPE THE FLOOR WITH THEIR HOST? ARE YOU SURE THAT EVEN MAKES SENSE?

TAKE YOUR OWN ADVICE.

FAKE NEWS. DOMINION HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE WEAPONIZING OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, IN COORDINATE WITH THE LYING FAKE NEWS MEDIA, TO RIG THE ELECTION BY BURYING THE HUNTER LAPTOP.

Media Blackout on Biden Corruption Is 'Pulitzer-Level'

Lying Propagandists Working For The DNC

'America’s state media: The blackout on Biden corruption is truly ‘Pulitzer-level stuff’'

' A decade ago, when then-Vice President Joe Biden was denouncing corruption in Romania and Ukraine and promising action by the United States, massive payments were flowing to his son Hunter Biden and a variety of family members, including Biden grandchildren.'

'the Biden team invested the media in this scandal at the outset by burying the laptop story as “Russian disinformation” before the election. That was, of course, false, but it took two years for most major media outlets to admit that the laptop was authentic.'

The lying fake news media that coordinated with the Biden Campaign/FBI/CIA/Intelligence Community to rig the election 'then ignored what was on that “authentic laptop.” Hundreds of emails detailed potentially criminal conduct and raw influence peddling in foreign countries.'

Biden may be even more crooked than LBJ was.

'The House has shown millions of dollars going to at least nine Bidens like dividends from a family business. As a long-time critic of influence peddling among both Republicans and Democrats, I have never seen the equal of the Bidens.'

'The whole purpose of influence peddling is to use family members as shields for corrupt officials. Instead of making a direct payment to a politician, which could be seen as a bribe, you can give millions to his or her spouse or children.'

'the president and the first lady are referenced as benefiting from offices and receiving payments from Hunter.'

'Hunter complains that his father is taking half of everything that he is raking in.'

'evidence clearly shows Biden lied about this family not receiving Chinese funds or that he never had any knowledge of his son’s business dealings. '

'Just before his son received a massive transfer of money from one of the most corrupt figures in Romania, Biden explained to that country why corruption must remain everyone’s focus. “Corruption is a cancer, a cancer that eats away at a citizen’s faith in democracy,” he said. “Corruption is just another form of tyranny.”'

 

Yeah, it's no longer Ted Turner's company, that is for sure. I definitely don't like this direction CNN is taking, especially if as the article you linked to says, it's following some form of Faux model.

 

CNN has a new CEO, Chris Licht. Before Licht, you'd have a point. We do know that Licht wants to reshape CNN. So, now the he's in charge, it might very well be part of his strategy, to do just that. In fact, I do believe the CNN justification was that it was 'news'. And what they are after more than 'opinion stories' are 'news'.

So, in that light, it makes perfect sense. Many of us won't agree, but from his vantage point, it makes sense.

Zorro, there was no rigged election. Get over it. Biden won.

The Dominion story proved that Fox was lying to the teeth, for a long long time.

Of course they would bury the laptop story.

Why?

1. There is no proof on the laptop to prove that Joe profited from his son's dealings
2. The right would spin the laptop to forward lies about Joe Biden
3. The right would use the laptop to fog the landscape to divert attention away from the greater story of Donald Trump's corruption.

But, you don't give a damn about that. Your fake outrage noted.

ANd you sure as hell don't give a damn about the weaponization of the federal government when that is precisely the state of affairs which existed under Bill Barr.

"THE VIEWS EXPRESSED BY CONTRIBUTORS ARE THEIR OWN AND NOT THE VIEW OF THE HILL"

About what we'd expect from Jonathan Turley, a regurgitation of every right wing talking point but fogging the fact that not one stitch of evidence shows
that Joe Biden profited from his son's dealings.

 

Please pester someone else.
Thank you.

 

So now, CNN is trying to help Trump
Bullshit lol
I realize how embarrassing this is for you but the last thing on the planet CNN would do is hire a Trump hating reporter to try and corner Trump on loaded questions then fill their studio with Trump supporters.

What a disaster for LWers. lol It just goes to show how much of a minority your ilk really is. lol

 

What a load of the stuff that comes out of the back end of horse.

When the election is rigged by the FBI/CIA/Intelligence Community/Lying Fake News Media/ in collusion with the Biden campaign you don't get to claim legitimacy. Biden was installed by a Corrupt Cabal.

Burying the laptop had nothing to do with Dominion. How are you still unclear on that?

 

You responded incorrectly I fixed it for you no need to thank me. .

 

Fake News. That's from 2 years before we had documented proof of the dirtbags in the FBI working with the Lying Fake News Media and the Intelligence Community to bury the Hunter Laptop to rig the election and instal Internationally Bribed Joe.

The Latest Development in the Biden Family Corruption Investigation Is Not Good

'We have a shocking development in the Biden corruption probe regarding a key witness but let’s recap here. The evidence of corruption is for all to see, thanks to his cracked-out son, Hunter, leaving the roadmap of their nefarious deeds on his laptop, which the liberal media and their allies in the intelligence committee buried as 'Russian disinformation' in October of 2020' in order rig the election and install Corrupt Joe.

'The device is authentic—and we all knew it. The CIA and the FBI both' rigged the 'presidential election, but that’s something you’ve known for quite some time. The latest update involved cash payments to the family from Romania, which was funneled into a host of shell companies linked to the Biden clan.'

 

When you have no evidence of that claim, you don't get to claim it is rigged, and I DO get to claim that is a fact.

There nothing on that laptop that is incriminating, so there were legit reasons for burying it, to wit:

1. Republicans want to exploit it for political gain.
2. Republicans lie that it contains incriminating information about Joe Biden. It doesn't.

That is a good reason to bury the laptop story, to prevent disingenuous nefarious political hackery by Republicans.


When Trump and his surrogates lost over 60 lawsuits, you don't get to claim fraud.

And I do get to claim legitimacy.

And Trump is corrupt and a criminal, and you are defending him, so you don't give a damn about corruption.

 

Sorry, the disaster is Trumps. The vast majority who watched that program were nauseated by Trump, and reminded who the man is.


Trump org, indicted
Trump CFO, in prison
Trump campaign mngr, convicted.
Trump, 34 felony counts in NYC
Trump, sued for $250 million in NY.
Trump, found liable for sex abuse and defamation, must pay $5 million
Trump, being investigated for obstruction relating to the theft of national defense information documents
Trump, being investigated for election fraud in GA
Trump, being investigation for crimes related to Jan 6 attack, Jan 6 attempt to overturn the election by delaying the joint session fo congress.
Trump, settled for $25 million having scammed thousands out of millions in a fake university scam
Trump, fornicated with a porn star just after his newly wed wife gave birth and threw his long time dedicated lawyer under the bus.
Trump charity, shut down for 'illegal activity' Trump fined $2 million.

We remember.

 

The Republican Supreme Court disagrees with you. Trump lost.

 

You mean the vast majority in your mind. lol
CNN did what CNN does.
They put a hard core Trump hating reporter in front of hm. Made sure its a woman so they could claim how he hates women when he talks back to her, and filled their studio with what they thought (like you) all these imaginary majority Trump hating voters to ridicule and try and embarrass Trump.

But it backfired on them HUGE with the crowd applauding Trump and his policies.
I can't even imagine how much that must sting for you. lol

 

He is no more evil than your average Democrat politician and far less dangerous. Democrats and Neocons created Trump, get rid of him and a replacement will appear literally over night. Until Democrats quit their assault on the constitution and embracing insanity in an attempt to break us down into ever smaller groups of increasingly insane and violent nutmegs there will always be someone in the wings opposed to that.

 

Which has nothing to do with any of that.

 

All Caitlin's questions were approved beforehand, not that uncommon though?

Trump Calls January 6 'A Beautiful Day'

Newsweek
https://www.newsweek.com › ... › Capitol Riots › Maga

4 days ago — During his CNN appearance Wednesday night, the former president praised U.S. Capitol rioters as "proud" and with "love in their hearts."

 

I disagree. Even though profits ARE the main purpose of MSM, most have found that they can also profit from facts. CNN, at least in this instance, abandoned that premise. Fox started off as a well respected news outlet. They became fake news media by doing what CNN did here.

 

Trump SAID they were classified. But it makes little difference whether they were or not. Even though, of course, it's worse if they were. What matters is that he admitted to theft. And that should be enough to keep him locked up for the rest of his life.

 

Yep! Nothing more sick than applauding and laughing at his jokes about sexually abusing women.

 

Of course! He got the crowd laughing and cheering for him because he raped a woman. But that's not the question. The question is if normalizing... and even applauding... sexual abuse is a good thing.

If Republicans think that it is, CNN has made sure that Trump will be the Republican nominee. I doubt most Americans believe that it is. So I don't think cheering and laughing at the abused woman will work for him that well in the generals.
