CNN screaming that Trump is AMAZING & that this fixes everything! -- FU CNN. Turning you off

[anneboleyn]

Honestly they clearly got their talking points as the Trump worship going on in CNN is just appalling -- absolutely barf-inducing. They are screeching about how amazingly presidential Trump looked, how incredibly well he READ THE STUPID TELEPROMPTER, how dignified, etc etc. Now they are exclaiming that Gorsuch is the most amazing nominee ever, and that the democrats are doomed. Again, FU CNN. And a big FU to the fat orange pig Rump.

Oh, and Gorsuch was a Rhodes Scholar -- Trump said Marshall Scholar. Of course Trump wouldn't know the difference.

[MFM008]

1. He wouldn't know

The difference between a Rhodes scholar and a Road.

[underpants]

5. He couldn't find his own ass with GPS and an Eagle Scout

Read that today and thought it was funny.

[MFM008]

36. Lol

Yup.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. That's a bit overheated. Who, exactly, said that?

[anneboleyn]

7. Wolf and Gloria mainly. Now Jake Tapper is on and he is much more measured than Wolf

It was very obvious to me that they (meaning Wolf and co) already were planning to do a "positive review" of Trump's rollout -- and I have watched CNN (off and on) for years and certainly during the election cycle. They have done this sort of wild flip-flop on Trump before unfortunately. Who knows why, maybe they want the orange's approval, but now that Tapper is on the tone has improved.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

9. Maybe they are just astonished that any Trump appointee

can speak in complete sentences.

[LibraLiz1973]

39. They're hardcore ass kissing. See link

3. good lord, Rep. Kevin McCarthy sounds like he's smashed drunk, slurring words while

yelping about how AMAZING Gorsuch looked (and he used "words!&quot and that Trump was just so amazing (barf -- gag -- barf)

[Cattledog]

8. McCarthy is a Tea party Republican what did you expect?

[Atman]

4. Who still watches CNN?

Our parents, maybe, when they're not watching Fox. And I'm 57 years young.

[anneboleyn]

16. OK, I am younger than you by 15 years. Why the snark? Obviously our media affects public attitudes

I have observed many times some statement or issue presented on CNN coming up later in the discussions/perceptions of an issue or candidate. They broke news stories throughout the campaign last year. Sure -- cable news doesn't have the impact it did ten (much less twenty) years ago. Of course I spend the majority of my time online like every Gen Xer and Millenial. But it is still important -- as is Fox and also MSNBC even though the former is vile and the latter has lower ratings.

Jake Tapper is on, and he is much more reasonable (right now at least) than Wolf. Now Wolf is back on again, and he asking about the "cloak and dagger" details of how Gorsuch was brought in without the big secret coming out.

CNN is not what it was (obviously NONE of the cable news channels have significant Gen X or Millenial viewership, not CNN, not Fox, not MSNBC, and of course the big "cbs news hour" sorts of shows have been in serious decline for years) but I am still interested in how they present material. These stories, and their manner of presentation, show up on Twitter and FB and Reddit.

[LibraLiz1973]

40. Maybe because this is how CNN is reporting it "Prime-time Justice: Trump puts on a flawless show"

http://www.cnn.com/2017/01/31/politics/donald-trump-supreme-court-announcement/index.html

[SharonClark]

32. Many people watch CNN to find out what others are hearing.

It doesn't benefit us to live in a leftist media bubble.

[coco22]

6. And all of the pretending by Wolf Blitzer

and other talking heads about if he gets through, knowing damn well they have the majority! he will with the help of Democrats.

The only thing I could think of was Mitch McConnell MFKER! stating how they wouldn't let Obama's nominee through but then starts chastising Democrats about these nominees,Hypocritical
LYING,ASS,POS!!!

[anneboleyn]

10. Exactly! For some reason people are criticizing me for posting this -- we need to call this shit out

Jim Acosta is interviewing Ted Cruz. UGH. Thinks that now Roe v. Wade will be crippled. If it's possible, Cruz is even uglier (his black heart that is)

Wolf is back on. I don't think I can't take it much longer -- though he isn't as hysterical as he was initially. Now he is asking reasonable questions.

[TrekLuver]

13. Let them DARE try to screw with Roe v. Wade...remember that hoo rah rah in the 70's?

The uproar will dwarf that...and that's a fact. Almost 70% of American's favor Roe v. Wade....so bring it.

[SammyWinstonJack]

30. They're screwing with roe v wade on a state level, no need to do away with it

Then there'd be one less thing to whip up their base, that is a sure vote getter. imho.

[coco22]

14. During the campaign..

My friends would laugh because I would get my dinner and it seemed like everytime I would get my food,Cruz would be on the tv. I gagged once thinking about him and the thing on his lip.

[Initech]

11. Liberal media? What liberal media?

[bdamomma]

12. Normalizing this

piece of crap. You hear don't about his tax returns anymore, or his assault on women boy short memories huh???

In the meantime Putin has the last laugh. Don't be distracted there is always something taking place behind the scenes.

[uponit7771]

37. +1

[Ligyron]

15. CNN got cut off from Trumpie sycophants and apologists - a news freeze out.

They're trying to get back in their good graces by the fawning.

[anneboleyn]

18. I think you're right. Tapper is being reasonable; Wolf much less so. Gloria was horrendous.

[NoGoodNamesLeft]

17. You must have been watching Wolf Blitzer...try the other shows

Wolf is OK some of the time but some of the time he's a tool. Pretty much everyone else is good. Once in awhile they will have a guest on who likes him...Like Jeffrey Lord or Jack Kingston. I'd like to kick them both in the balls.

Best options to watch are Chris Cuomo first thing in the AM, Jake Tapper, Erin Burnett, Van Jones...and usually Anderson Cooper is OK and everyone else is good too. Wolf is the worst one and he's not always bad, lol.

[anneboleyn]

20. + John King -- he is raving insanely about how the Trump team handled this -- saying this changes

the entire conversation b/c they handled this so amazingly. John King CLEARLY got the talking points. He is trying to argue that this five minute announcement erases the last week of disasters. I mean how hard is it to read a TelePrompTer and pat a guy in the back?

[NoGoodNamesLeft]

23. Yeah, forgot about him...don't care much for him either

All the women hosts, Chris Cuomo, Brian Seltzer, Jake Tapper, Van Jones...they are good. Don't watch as much on weekend, though...just avoid Wolf mostly and you won't get as pissed, lol.

[Cha]

41. he was a gd pimp for bush2, too.

[renate]

24. Jack Kingston is like nails on a chalkboard

It's as if he were specifically and meticulously designed to be off-putting.

[NoGoodNamesLeft]

26. He's a blank faced douche in a suit

eom

[uponit7771]

38. +1

[jmg257]

19. Still blowing it up - "they were ready - rolled out right"; "Hard for democrats to hold up nominee".

[anneboleyn]

21. Exactly. John King. Made me want to barf (again!)

[jmg257]

22. Ugh - yep that's the guy! nt

[JI7]

33. both John King and his wife Dana Bash fucking suck

and stupid as fuck also

[tavernier]

25. The media chose and crowned him

so not surprising that they need to try to justify their work. As he continues to screw the country and the world, it will all eventually go back to being Obama's or Hillary's fault.

[still_one]

27. Isn't it time to stop watching this garbage? On November 9th I downgraded my service so I

essentially just get the locals. No CNN, no MSNBC, no fox, no CNBC.

There are plenty of places to get news. The major Newspapers for one, bbc, even PBS Newshour or Bloomberg

The cable networks are a joke, and a perfect forum for Paddy Chayefsky's vision of Network

I personally will not be patronizing these sorry excuses for their pseudo news

[ginnyinWI]

34. very true.

PbS Newshour went live tonight. NPR is a reliable source. No need for the "shows" as DT calls them.

I also read NYT and the opinions at WaPo. And The Nation and The Atlantic.

[still_one]

35. sounds like what I do

[yallerdawg]

28. They may be punking the White House again!

Pretending to submit to the will of the Propaganda Ministry.

Waiting, waiting - Cool Hand Luke - "Shakin' the tree here, boss!"

[DonCoquixote]

29. the Trump demands obedience

CNN is whimpering since Trump threatened to cut them off, so of course they're trying to go ahead and please master by offering them whatever sacrifice they can do. Granted this is not as egregious as the stuff that is on MSNBC, but it's getting there rather quick.

[emmo115]

31. CNN, The all trump network

I noticed this happening during the election. Every time you turn to that channel it was all trump 24/7 it made me sick. I have noticed that all the decent reporters are fleeing this half assed so called news station, good for them. Water ass Wolf and that type of reporting is all that's left, what a joke.

[Cha]

42. "Oh, and Gorsuch was a Rhodes Scholar -- Trump said Marshall Scholar"

and cnn didn't point that out like they would have if President Obama had said such a thing?
