Where the Hell Was A ‘Principled’ CNN During the Fcking Election?
The Trump gang, including their Dear Leader, is hammering CNN for allegedly broadcasting fake news with regard to an intelligence dossier that included information about Trumper’s shower habits. Here is CNN’s latest protestation:
“CNN’s decision to publish carefully sourced reporting about the operations of our government is vastly different than BuzzFeed’s decision to publish unsubstantiated memos. The Trump team knows this. They are using BuzzFeed’s decision to deflect from CNN’s reporting, which has been matched by the other major news organizations. We are fully confident in our reporting. It represents the core of what the First Amendment protects, informing the people of the inner workings of their government; in this case, briefing materials prepared for President Obama and President-elect Trump last week. We made it clear that we were not publishing any of the details of the 35-page document because we have not corroborated the report’s allegations. Given that members of the Trump transition team have so vocally criticized our reporting, we encourage them to identify, specifically, what they believe to be inaccurate.”
OK. Great CNN. I hear ya. First Amendment blah, blah, woof, woof. But, wasn’t it YOUR network who was so obsessed with appearing unbiased that for 18 months they lent credibility and false equivalency to a mentally ill clown who had no fuckin’ business running for Dogcatcher let alone President? Oh, and wasn’t it your network who allowed OP-ED panels to devolve into smack-down scream-fests, looking for ratings rather than educating and informing the public? And while we’re at it, CNN – where was the “equivalent” coverage of Bernie? You guys set this thing up to be a fuckin’ Hillary v. Trump horse race from the jump.
So, let’s not get all “holier than thou.” Your hands are dirty as well. You guys were our Breitbart.

And now, you’re gonna turn on BuzzFeed? “Oh, we did the right thing. It was BuzzFeed who’s the actual fake news source.” Shame on you CNN. You dropped the fuckin’ ball in the outfield, and now you’re blaming First Base.
Just fess up to it. You guys suck just as hard as the rest of our “Media.” Stop pushing yourselves off as the speakers of truth to power. You’re no such thing. You’re just another bunch of whores and hacks.
Then again, they did broadcast the whole golden shower story, so that’s probably a good thing.
I was under the impression that the golden shower stuff was false…The media are becoming as untrustworthy as our politicians. Who the hell do we ever believe in???
Where did you get the idea it was false? Only the republicans over here think it’s false. Oh wait!
