This is CNN

Hey, what do you know. Apparently it's a cable t.v. news outfit that some people watch.



Drew Griffin is the CNN reporter who faked helping a guy off his truck in a flood. If you care to re-live those ridiculous moments of faked news



I love the look of desperation. It drives people to do absurd things. 

I used to pick trash. Barry and I would climb into the dumpsters looking for bottles to cash in. This was at Barksdale AFB, and the best bins were outside the barracks. Then my dad told us the men throw their used razor blades in the trash and that put an end to that particular income stream. 

So we switched to diving for golfballs in the pond of the golf course on base and selling the balls back to the players. They were perfectly good balls, and we found hundreds of them. The little lake is loaded with them. And the players were delighted to buy balls for 1/4 the cost of new ones.

The Left can't survive without lies.

Understand that and you're halfway home.

I used to dumpster dive outside of the AT&T mechanical switching station fortress when I was a kid to get mechanical and electrical specs for how the phone system worked so I could phone phreak and do other naughty illicit hacker things back in the 70's and 80's. One time I found a broken lineman's handset. That was like hitting the jackpot. I and my friends fixed it. We thought we were gods that could play operator.

Which is worse: The Russian bots or the American snots who are currently savaging this poor woman?
Yes, obviously, rhetorical question.

Glenn Greenwald tweets..

“Despicable: CNN hunts down an ordinary citizen at home, accusing her of aiding Russia because she promoted an event on FB that Mueller says Russians organized.

Go ask Michael Moore why he did that. Ask Joy Reid why Russian bots RT her so much. Challenge power. This is bullying”

CNN is just trying to distract its viewers from the fact that they promoted much of the Russian propaganda, and did so freely. They also hope people forget that they clearly colluded with the Hillary campaign during the Democrat Primary. And we all know that the Democrat Primary was rigged, so sucks to be you, Sander's donor. You just thought your money was going to a fair fight, but Sanders has the money now, why would he protest too much?

I just want to know who the progs think they are fooling? Putin is a socialist. He may not be Lenin, Stalin, or Mao, but he's still a socialist. The progs are socialists, and they ran a open socialist during the primary. Newsweek had no problems claiming we were all socialist now, when Obama was President. No reasonable voter, and especially a voter of Trump, will even think for a second Putin would want Trump to win. That's this lady in Florida. CNN can show up on her door step and claim she worked with Russians, but she knows it BS. Even if the Russians donated to her cause, or even made some flyers; the people she invited were people she knew, and none of them have special love for Russians. Nor are they buying the BS that Trump would be a patsy to the Russians.

So CNN host a town hall to push gun control. They invite students to speak about their experience and ask questions of elected officials also invited and present. And CNN provides the students scripted questions, instead of letting the students make their own statements.

This is real collusion. It may be legal, but it is this underhanded collusion. It would have gone on unmatched, had Citizens United vs FEC gone the other way. The FEC fined Citizens United on the basis they were not a legitimate film maker. CNN would get a free pass, because they are known to make fictional films, as well as supposedly non-fiction. Either way, CNN would be considered legit under the campaign finance reform laws, and are still considered legitimate today.

I'm really thinking that before Trump's first term is up; CNN will have gone too far with a super majority of Americans, and the outcome will not be good for them.

CNN Townhall = modern day witch hunt.

Someone actually called out "Burn her" in reference to Dana Loesch, NRA representative.

Actually, the idiot villagers in the witch trial scene in Monty Python's Holy Grail had more intellectual credibility than that crowd at the CNN "Town Hall."

Only things missing: actual pitchforks and torches. Work on that, CNN.

Who is this actually helping? Not the ostensible "gun control" cause. Even people mildly interested are not convinced by such tactics. Not anymore. All this little witch burning accomplished is eyeballs for CNN and keeping the issue divisive and alive for ... what? This really only helps the most lefty of lefties. I guess the real powers that be are thinking really long game?

And the bratty little kids mouthing scripted accusations and insults? All that does is remind me of how childish and immature and rage-based actual progressives are. I mean, what's the difference between that little bald girl with the attitude and any of the CNN anchors? The bald kid has the excuse of being an actual child.
