1. "CNN" didn't say this; it merely published an opinion by one Nile Gardiner.

He is "the director of the Margaret Thatcher Center for Freedom at The Heritage Foundation and a former aide to Margaret Thatcher. The opinions in this article belong to the author." If you look at CNN's editorials page you'll see a number of very critical opinions. http://www.cnn.com/opinions I'd say Gardiner is more of an outlier.

9. Oh,,,,,

so now I see,,,, Mr Nile made the decision to have a top billing link to his article on CNN's home page for the last five days...... Now I understand....... whatucallit ,,, "fair and Balanced"?,,,,,,,, now where have I heard that bullshit before?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

13. Do you think CNN should only publish opinions you agree with?

[Cryptoad]

18. They can publish WTF they want to publish,,,,,

doesn't mean I have to accept their top billing on opinions as not being a reflection of CNN.

[Brother Buzz]

3. Well, if you lower the expectation bar to the ground...

one could make an assumption the orange anus' golf cart could drive over it.

I'm just saying

[Bettie]

12. Well, he didn't visibly soil himself

or actually kill anyone...so yay! success!

[Different Drummer]

[Bettie]

[madaboutharry]

6. It's on the opinion page.

It isn't the news division, it's one person writing an opinion.

[WePurrsevere]

7. Meh... Consider the, 'Heritage Foundation', source that wrote this...

Just before the opinion piece is this...

Editor's Note: Nile Gardiner is the director of the Margaret Thatcher Center for Freedom at The Heritage Foundation and a former aide to Margaret Thatcher. The opinions in this article belong to the author.

I'd be surprised if a Heritage Foundation twit didn't kiss Trump's butt and sing his praise.



ETA: Oops, it looks like others beat me to the punch. Goodness but you folks are fast.

[ProudLib72]

8. Vile Pardner? Thatcher Centre for Peace?

[UnTied]

10. WTF!

Sure, its opinion. But why in the Hell Is CNN allowing the Heritage Foundation to write an opinion and giving it a predominant headline!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

14. Do you think CNN should publish only opinions you agree with?

[WinkyDink]

30. The truth might be nice. No foreign leader, bar none, was impressed favorably.

[Kaleva]

11. Written by Nile Gardiner, a one time foreign policy adviser for Rudy Giuliani

"Nile Gardiner is a British conservative commentator, director of the Margaret Thatcher Center for Freedom at The Heritage Foundation, and a former aide to British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. "

15. Nothing could be further from the truth.

45 was nothing but shameful and seriously embarrassing.

[spanone]

16. heritage foundation...

[rock]

17. Interesting

I too thought, "... his first test on the world stage ...? What for? For being the biggest Ass Hole in the World?"

[triron]

19. fuck CNN

[Boomerproud]

21. Again, it was written by a Thatcherite. As soon as I saw the source I burst out laughing.

Only Putin and Bibi are on 45s corner (and some idiot congresscritters).

[GliderGuider]

22. CNN fails Journalism 101

Jesus Fucking Christ, Melania was more impressive than the Orange Ostomy Bag!

[world wide wally]

24. I guess this asshole can say whatever he wants, but it's how the NATO countries and our former (?)

allies feel that is the only thing that matters.... and I think we have a good idea about what they thought.

[Warren DeMontague]

25. cool story, bro

[LostinRed]

26. Opinion piece

It's stated on top of article that it is opinion and the author is part of heritage foundation and a conservative

[WinkyDink]

31. Opinions not supported by reality are simply ignorant utterances, deplorable even.

[WellDarn]

28. What is the purpose of this?

Nile Gardiner is the director of the Margaret Thatcher Center for Freedom at The Heritage Foundation and a former aide to Margaret Thatcher. The opinions in this articlebelong to the author

Are we a Democrats Rising supposed to feel victimized and powerless because some right wing Brexit loving yahoo gets his five minutes of attention while the rest of the world, and most of the rest of CNN, joins us in raucous laughter?

Stand up.

[retread]

29. I would say he DID impress the world. n/t

[mnmoderatedem]

32. well he didn't practice skeet shooting with live babies out of a local maternity ward

so I guess in the eyes of the deplorables, it was in fact a success.

[RKP5637]

33. I guess their baseline was he didn't body slam anyone. n/t

[Vinca]

34. And that, in a nutshell, is how low the bar has been placed.

Can a PeeWee Herman presidency be far behind?
