Quote from: neurosis on August 30, 2024, 08:11 AMI haven't been able to watch CNN for a couple of years. Are they getting better?

Despite what the ignorant few like to babble on about I don't watch CNN or any other TV channel so i can't really say.

The media/bias sites rate it as left leaning but highy credible. The Gateway Pundit doesn't fare as well.

I know that they got caught up in a couple of misreporting scandals.

I just remember their reporting being very one sided. More opinion than journalism.

I'm not sure if you've seen the clip from Colbert? He was interviewing a CNN reporter and said that CNN was objective and the audience burst in to laughter.

This is a Fox video. It was the easiest to find. The irony in Fox pointing the finger at CNN for not being objective?

ROFL saying that cnn doesn't make shit up is the ultimate proof that Dumbsmit lives in an echo chamber and refuses to acknowledge it no matter how much proof is out there.

Repeating lies such as:

Trump is a threat to Democracy
Trump ordered people to march on the Capitol Building
Trump wants to ban abortion
Pretty much everything that Joe Scarborough says about Trump is a lie
Russian disinformation
Russian collusion
Hunter's laptop
Masking, 6 feet, trust the science
Kyle Rittenhouse (they pushed that so hard it cost them a fuck ton of money)
Trump assassination attempt was staged

And that's just the tip of the iceberg.

I've heard CNN replaced their president and gave the replacement an agenda to remove the bias so maybe it is better than it used to be?

Here is a comparison for anybody who is interested in how the interviews go. Trumps interview was a live townhall interview and he definitely did not prescreen the questions. The second interview is last night, taped and I would guess the questions were agreed upon prior, since we already know that's what the Biden administration was doing during the last 4 years. Plus the fact that Harris created competition to get her first interview.

you might notice that Collins started immediately with a question to get Trump on the defensive asking about J6 and stolen elections. Dana Bash started with a softball designed to make Harris feel at ease. "What do you do on Day1?

I don't know about ordered, but he did literally tell the crowd to walk to the Capitol while spouting a bunch of stolen election rhetoric. I don't know if that's where that comes from?

Haha.. I don't know why I'm questioning you about this. I guess I don't expect to get an answer that doesn't include "CNN SUCKS!" from anyone else.

The funny thing they always leave out is that he said "peacefully"

At the RNC, Biden was mentioned a total of 2 times and that was on day 4.
At the DNC, Trump was mentioned 147 times.

They have NOTHING to run on other than orangemanbad.

Dictator
He's pals with North Korea
He's pals with Putin
Trump's a racist
Trump said the KKK was good people

does anybody believe the answer to this question? And by the way, the line, "Here, I'll give you a little too much information" good grief.

QuoteBASH: Because we haven't had a chance to — to talk, I'm just curious, staying on President Biden, when he called you and said he was pulling outta the race, what was that like? And did he offer to endorse you right away or did you ask for it?

HARRIS: It was — it was a Sunday, so, here, I'll — I'll give you a little too much information. (LAUGHTER)

BASH: Go for it. There's no such thing, Madam Vice President.

HARRIS: My family was staying with us. And — including my baby nieces. And we had just had pancakes and, you know, "Auntie, can I have more bacon?" "Yes, I'll make you more bacon." And then we were gonna sit — we were sitting down to — to do a puzzle. (LAUGH) And the phone rang. And it was Joe Biden. And — and he told me what he had decided to do. And I asked him, "Are you sure?" And he said, "Yes." And — and that's how I learned about it.

I believe that was only on day 1, I recall it was around 300 times through all the days. That's all they have. No platform other than NOT TRUMP!!!

Was that the end of the interview or did she elaborate further?

HARRIS: He was very clear that he was gonna support me.

BASH: So when he called to tell you, he said, "I'm pulling outta the race and I'm gonna support you?"

HARRIS: Well, my first thought was not about me to be honest with you. My first thought was about him to be honest. I think history is gonna show a number of things about Joe Biden's presidency. I think history is gonna show that in so many ways it was transformative, be it on what we have accomplished around finally investing in America's infrastructure, investing in new economics, in new industries, what we have done to bring our allies back together, and have confidence in who we are as America, and grow that alliance, what we have done to stand true to our principles including the — the — one of the most important international rules and norms, which is the importance of sovereignty and territorial integrity.

And I think history is gonna show not only has Joe Biden led an administration that has achieved those extraordinary successes, but the character of the man is one that he has been in his life and career, including as a president, quite selfless and puts the American people first.
