(6,115 posts)...that APPEASES the Trump Cult. Doing the classic, vomit-inducing 'both-siderist' maneuver. Hiring MAGA peckerheads to try to bring Republican leaning voters into the fold is just a dereliction of journalistic duty. On the one hand, you have Democrats, who want to have a sensible tax code, a humane foreign policy, and treat all people with respect. Fine. Now, bring on a bunch of fanatics from a personality cult, who want to turn the country into a Putin-style white, Christian, nationalist KLEPTOCRACY.
Because 'both sides,' right?
FUCK THAT! If CNN tries to mollycoddle a gang of plutocrats who are trying to destroy the country as we know it...fuck em!
Seriously, Anderson Cooper is the only person on that abominable network I'll watch. And if they happen to show Jake Crapper's face during a commercial promo, I usually end up having to buy another TV. (LED TVs don't tend to work very well after somebody has put the remote, dead center, into the middle of the screen.)
At this point, CNN is only marginally better than those vapid lickspittles at ABC, who fired Terry Moran, after he politely pointed out the FACT that Trump is insane if he thinks that MS13 photograph wasn't photoshopped. Apparently, any reporter who shows some character and dedication will have the life expectancy of a donut in a police station at ABC.
BOYCOTT CNN and ABC. And put MSNBC on notice that we're watching what they do. Just because they're the only network left that hasn't COMPLETELY sold their souls for ratings doesn't mean our viewership is GUARANTEED. At this point, I'm hoping Rachel Maddow takes all the money they've been paying her, and starts her own network. I'd switch in a heartbeat.
