CNN is a terminal of despair

This afternoon CNN spent the better part of three hours enveloped in cnnamatic trauma!

Naturally the headline was about a Trump, this time Robert Jr.

Breaking News cnnamatically delivered the traumatic story of  he, Trump the younger, who had met with a Russian person(diplomat, lawyer????) who cares, he was Russian.  And Robert Jr.  met with this Russian because he had been promised information about Hiliary Clinton.

I was watching this at the gym so I didn’t catch all of the incredible cnnamatic details but I gathered the anchors and the quickly assembled  panel of anti-trumpers were delivering the kind of rhetoric expected of this WKRP knock-off.  “More proof that Russia defeated Hiliary, and in so doing delivered to the people of the republic the ‘unbelievable.’ ”

The implications of course were obvious to the cnnamatically consumed anchors–information about Hiliary would mean “quid pro quo”.  We give you information about Hiliary and you will do something for us, the Russians, da?

I suppose it never occurred to the cnnamatically consumed that this exchange would follow the same QPQ no matter who Robert Jr. met with.  Yes, BUT good heavens don’t you see he met with a Russian Lawyer!!!!!!

The story reminded me of the parallel silliness that consumed the Warren Commission.

Among the thousands of exhibits included to show the American people that no stone was left unturned and no exhibit left on the editing floor to support the Commission’s finding, was an x-ray of Lee Harvey Oswald’s mother’s teeth—-leading Mark Lane, an early critic of the Warren Commission to observe: “that exhibit would have been irrelevant even if Lee Oswald had bitten the President to death.”

CNN is so consumed by it’s anger over results of the election which is almost nine months old that it has lost all relevance and has descended into a pit of despair.
