Chronic Illness: CNN is Entering The Point of No Return

Posted by Maggie on July 6, 2017 in From the editors

Pres. Trump is in Europe for the next few days for various meetings and summits.
He and the First Lady met with the Polish President Andrzej Duda and his wife. The MSM, so slobberingly eager to paint Trump as out of his element on the world stage is now demanding us to see something that’s simply not there. Just see what I mean…

AoSHQ: Your Betters The Media, who are super smart, went bananas because the Polish first lady didn’t see Trump’s outstretched hand at first, and didn’t shake his hand until a moment later.

Twitchy: AWKWARD! WaPo ‘debunks its own headline’ on Trump handshake

Twitchy: CNN’s Chris Cillizza embarrasses self over Trump/Agata Kornhauser-Duda handshake. Is this his worst tweet yet?

He goes all pants-wetting pantywaist over a truncated :25 video of the actual :35 handshake greetings of the two couples, totally exposing himself for the total asshole he and his cohorts at CNN have become. He, and others like the WaPo, shitting themselves with elation over this misrepresentation of what actually happened is just completely unbelievable, even for them. They want us to believe the Polish First Lady snubbed PDJT’s offer of a handshake, when, if you’re of logic and reasoning state of mind, her greeting of Melania was delayed so as not to step into the line of photography of the two leaders shaking hands, and when she decided to step forward to offer Mrs. Trump the handshake Pres. Trump naturally wasn’t really aware of the delay as he and the Polish President were exchanging brief conversation. She shook Mrs. Trump’s hand and greeted her and then immediately moved to Mr. Trump, but the video the left/libs are circulating is the truncated one that cuts off when she reaches for Melania’s hand past the President’s …

TF with this shithead? I mean, WTFF? And these jokers over at CNN believe anyone, least of all the Trump White House, should take them as serious journalists/reporters? Cillizza then had to come to terms with his juvenile idiocy…

It’s like they’re the news media in “Idiocracy”, for godsakes! I mean, this bullshit isn’t even funny anymore. It’s, quite frankly, pitiful and pathetic.

Fake News: Journalists Invent ‘Super Awkward’ Handshake Snub of Trump

This is where CNN shows just how completely void of journalistic intellect and credibility they are: CNN’s Jim Acosta gets fact about intelligence community’s Russia assessment wrong, calls it ‘fake news’ …

CNN correspondent Jim Acosta erred on Thursday when he said it was “fake news” for President Trump, speaking Thursday in Poland, to state that it was “three or four” intelligence agencies who concluded that Russia had meddled in the 2016 election.

Speaking on CNN’s “New Day,” Acosta wondered where Trump got the “three or four” figure, though it has been reported that out of 17 agencies, only the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the CIA, the FBI, and the National Security Agency have formally drawn the conclusion about Russia.

“The other thing that was ‘fake news’ coming from President Trump is when he said, well, I keep hearing it’s 17 intelligence agencies that say Russia meddled in the election, I think it’s only three or four,” Acosta said. “Where does that number come from? Where does this ‘three or four’ number come from? My suspicion … is that if we go to the administration and ask them for this question, I’m not so sure we’re going to get an answer.”

The New York Times last week, however, prominently corrected its own reporting on the matter.
In a story about Trump’s “deflections and denials about Russia,” it originally stated that “17 American intelligence agencies” concluded Russia had interfered in the election.

The Times’ subsequent correction said “the assessment was made by four intelligence agencies” and “not approved by all 17 organizations in the American intelligence community.”

AoSHQ: Jim Acosta Continues Dousing Burning CNN in Glitter-Infused Kerosene

Limbaugh Hammers ‘Little Jim Acosta’ ‘Making a Fool of Himself’; CNN Is ‘A Circular Firing Squad’

And the NYTimes wasn’t the only MSM organization that has had to make that correction, even though they buried it deep within their publication. Just because Acosta is far too slow on the up-take doesn’t mean it’s PDJT’s fault or responsibility to bring him or his network up to speed on something that’s already out there for any serious and responsible journalist/reporter to see. As the Obama administration so loved to say, “old news”. But this is actually ‘old news’ and not a deliberate deflection from the facts.

The Gif That Keeps On Giving: CNN’s Fly is Down as Network Hunts Down and Threatens to DOX Photoshopper

Posted by Maggie on July 5, 2017 in From the editors

You mean like “Say ‘uncle’!”

dox [däks] VERB

search for and publish private or identifying information about (a particular individual) on the Internet, typically with malicious intent:
“hackers and online vigilantes routinely dox both public and private figures”

UPDATE: Ruh-ROH!

If BuzzFeed is correct, it appears CNN’s Andrew Kaczynski outed the wrong guy

End UPDATE…

This is CNN, folks … and most of the liberal/leftist American MSM. But for CNN, well, they have been building their own Ivory Tower of power since the Bill Clinton era. And now that his faux wife lost her second bid for the White House the cable channel has lost whatever was left of whatever mind they had.

So, this is hard and serious “journalism” in CNN’s eyes/mind, we must assume. The same network that simply cannot investigate any real news, will not expose ‘deep state’ leakers to their reporters, pushes the continuing and crumbling lie about ‘Trump-Russia collusion’, and praised and covered for Hillary Clinton during the 2016 election … going so far as to provide her with debate questions ahead of the event. Now they decide who does and doesn’t have ‘free speech’, most especially is they do not like it. I’m (not) sorry but the First Amendment puts a generalized and collective “freedom of speech” for everyone ahead of “the press”, and rightly so as the Founders still stressed “We the People” always come first, especially with ‘power’… and perhaps foresaw said ‘press’ of allowing themselves to become a tool of tyranny…

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

On the very day the nation celebrates out independence and liberty and free speech the agenda-driven cable news network fascist decides to go after the gif maker and Mafia style force an apology from him and removal of the gif from his site…

CNN ‘New Day’: CNN Promised Not To Identify Pro-Trump Reddit User If He Apologized; “A Nice Thing”

UPDATE (7/4 @ 8:34 AM ET): On Wednesday morning, Kaczynski tweeted out some details of the user: “Need to point out again HanAssholeSolo is a middle aged man. People claiming he’s 15 are wrong. Some are intentionally spreading this.”

As of 8:30 AM the hashtag #CNNBlackmail was trending on Twitter.

Cuomo deleted a tweet earlier this morning where he asked followers if CNN should reveal the name of the Reddit user. He tweeted: “Should CNN reveal name of Reddit user who made trump wrestling video? Had a lot of bigoted and hateful material on page and website.”

It seems CNN is being all joyful and celebratory in this thing. But they simply are physically/mentally/emotionally unable to let it go…

Charlie Martin @ PJM: CNN Appears to Extort Apology from Trump Meme-Maker

Well, CNN was apparently unhappy with the meme. They tracked down the guy who made it. Then they determined he’d made other tasteless memes. Then they got an abject apology from him.

Then they published it, saying: “CNN reserves the right to publish his identity should any of that change.” (That’s an archive link, by the way, as I expect the story may change or disappear shortly after CNN Legal’s offices open in the morning.)

CNN is under fire for threatening to identify the creator of the Trump wrestling video

When you’ve lost Vox over the DOXX threats:

An already pissed-off anti-CNN public is now livid at the cable network for this latest MSM oligarch bullshit:

‘Extremely Unethical’ — CNN Draws Backlash After Threatening To ID Reddit User Behind Trump’s WWE Video

Yep!

This is ridiculous. Some guy uses a vid clip of a fake takedown and shops the CNN logo over looser’s head under Trump’s play acting image, something anybody else (SNL???) would’ve done in an opposite manner to show Trump as a looser and the kid has apologized for what?, a ‘violent’ imagery against the friggin MSM? But just two weeks ago this same MSM network’s corporate entity funded the play in a New York City park depicting the murder of Trump and no apology? Shut up that’s ‘art’, you ignorant masses? First Amendment rights? This does not help CNN. Nothing can. CNN and the rest of the MSM has created their own mess. And now they’re gasping and griping because we are laughing at them.

CNN and their sycophants are now insisting we consider the entire context of the gif maker’s controversial works. So, when has CNN reported anything in proper context? Eh?

Ace @AoSHQ: CNN Threatens to Dox Reddit User Who Made Trump Wrestling Gif; #CNNBlackmail Trends on Twitter; CNN Denies “Blackmail”

The Bravery It Took CNN To Track Down A Private Citizen Can’t Be Overstated

The network founded by Ted Turner used its vast resources to track down the Reddit user who created the video of President Trump body-slamming and beating up a man with the CNN logo imposed over his face during a WWE event.

Reddit user “HanAssholeSolo” was exposed as the responsible party behind the video by CNN reporter Andrew Kaczynski, and his heroism in these dire times is truly remarkable. We’re possibly on the verge of a war with North Korea, the opioid epidemic is sweeping across America, and jobs are too hard to find in many parts of the country, but CNN bravely didn’t waste its time focusing on that minor and irrelevant stuff.

Instead, it spent its time outing Reddit users. Fake journalists focus on the issues facing America, and real journalists worry about what random people do on Reddit. If you don’t understand the difference, then you’re probably in the former group.

CNN naturally took sometime to pat itself on the back for not revealing the user’s real name.

[…]

Just class-A stuff over here from CNN. Nothing says hero status like having to remind the world you could destroy a private citizen’s life, but instead have decided not to. So humble and brave.
