CNN is a terminal of despair
2017/07/09 1 Comment
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.

BEYOND BELIEF……#26

It’s been a year since we last posted. #25 was about the lack of honest, common sense oversight by the CRTC, the Canadian equivalent to the Federal Communications commission in the United States.
In the intervening 12 months not much has changed regarding CRTC oversight but the world has undergone a cataclysmic redo.
Hilary was Trumped. Kim is trying to get his short fingers around America’s neck and the Democrats are wandering around Capitol Hill in a state of OZ.
CNN has switched from being the CLINTON NEWS NETWORK to an updated version of WKRP. It’s a fact that Les Nessman was more balanced than Wolf Blitzer, and the KRP panels were more credible and far less strident and unbalanced.
In fact CNN has become the poster child for those media outlets who embrace the telling and re-telling of the Anti-Trumps. In a lifetime of media experience I have never witnessed such blatant unprofessional story telling by the so-called legitimate press! If it was just Fake News we had to contend with that’s easily handled, rather it’s the drumbeat of propaganda being passed off as the REAL story. Propaganda dressed up as REAL news is designed to elicit from the viewer/reader strident emotionalism. Unfortunately for America it reaches and motivates the simple-minded.
The fact is you don’t have to fake the news, there are enough stories that are real honest brain busters that make you wish they were fake.
Example one: Paul Ryan, whose inability to gather together enough votes in the House of Representatives from among the majority members of his own party to pass legislation relating to a made in America health plan has delivered the unexpected. He has issued an order to female members of the Media covering the House that they MAY NOT come to news “briefings” in sleeveless dresses and tops. A JOKE? Apparently not!!!
Example two: in the great State of Arkansas, once ruled by the Clintons for a couple of decades a law has just been passed that states a woman, “…who has been Raped must seek the permission of the Rapist before she can have an abortion.” A JOKE? Definitely NOT!!!
The Blog rests: who needs Fake news when you have the examples cited that ..”make you wish they were fake.”
Surely they can’t be real? Surely they must have originated in some third world nation of despots and misogyny.
