I don’t know why everyone suddenly has amnesia about the fact that #CNN was bought by a conservative asshole & is just hoping you won’t notice long enough to radicalize you based on the network’s former reputation, inertia, & brand loyalty.
CNN has exclusively obtained the audio recording of the 2021 meeting in Bedminster, New Jersey, where President Donald Trump discusses holding secret documents he did not declassify.
I mean, yeah, I dislike some ways #BBC reports about matters but I am still happy they decided to participate in the #Fediverse.
Heck even if #CNN joins I will be happy, and I loathe their reporting.
You want decentralised #SocialMedia to gain popularity and diversity, or do you just want to keep it "pure" and populated by people who agree with you?
CNN packed the room with Trump supporters. This was a demand of Trump’s, and #CNN acceded to it. Potential Trump opponents, like Democrats, were not allowed in.
That is not a “Town Hall,” and it is not a “news event.” Yet look at how Chris Licht justifies it. He pretends that the “media” has been “ignoring that those people exist.”
All the clips you’ll need to see will be here on social media.
Send a message to their advertisers. BOOST THIS TOOT!!!!!!
The audience for the CNN townhall w/Trump will be 400 Republicans & GOP-leaning independents
Allowing Trump to appear in front of an audience exclusively comprised of people who are likely sympathetic to Trump -- and then turn over the questions to that group
> David Zaslav, the CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery, the parent company of the network I’m talking to you on right now, was paid $250 million last year, a quarter of a billion dollars. That’s about the same level as what 10,000 writers are asking him to pay all of us collectively, alright. So I would say if you’re being paid $250 million—these companies are making enormous amounts of money. Their profits are going up. It’s ridiculous for them to plead poverty.
Chris Licht is a moron. The CNN CEO believed he could court the MAGA crowd without losing the left. Instead, the network now finds itself hemorrhaging viewers and in the ratings basement behind Newsmax. Fire him.
Bottom line: #CNN is complicit in bringing a proven liar, defamer & destroyer of all that’s sacred in our norms to the public. Again. For what? Money. They gave him free advertising AGAIN They have learned nothing. The stakes are far too high & they are on the wrong side of history and democracy. #shanda. #disgusting
#CNN’s “Town Hall” members were told in advance they could clap for, but not boo Trump. Basically, the entire show was rigged to prop him up and provide him a free infomercial - but you already knew that.
Elon Musk-Ron #DeSantis alliance was a year in the making | #CNN
"But DeSantis pressed further than most GOP officials. Dangling the Florida pension fund’s investments in the company, the governor vowed to turn the country’s third largest state against #Twitter’s board if they didn’t sell to Musk.
[...]
After Musk’s recent moves, Kanter Freedom told CNN, “I don’t want to hear about #ElonMusk talking about free speech ever again.”"
You have to ask yourself who is doing more harm. Fox News, where everyone already knows they’re the unofficial media arm of the GOP? Or CNN, where they pretend to be giving you objective journalism balanced between two equal parties playing by the same rules?
I’d argue that CNN poses the greater threat to democracy. #CNN
CNN:
Have you learned nothing from 2016?
You’re giving this twice-impeached insurrectionist asshole free, worldwide media coverage, AGAIN. Why not go all in, you ratings whores? Recruit that Goebbels clone, Tucker Carlson, to moderate your “town hall” event.
You’re normalizing, legitimizing, and promoting this fascist asshole all over again. It’s all about the ratings and the money, isn’t it? Of course, it is. Face it; you’re more like Fox than you may care to admit. #CNN#DonaldTrump#news
A #Black#Texas high school student has been suspended for more than a week because his #loc hairstyle violated the district’s #DressCode, his mother said. It could become test o new state law that bans #discrimination based on hairstyles.
#DarrylGeorge, a junior at #BarbersHill High School in #MontBelvieu, received multiple disciplinary action notes, placed on suspension for wearing his locs hairstyle in a ponytail, his mother told #CNN.
Anderson Cooper lecturing people has me seeing red. How dare he. #CNN shoved Trump in our faces and he’s trying to make it sound as if we’re being unappreciative???
Last I checked viewers dictate what is popular, not what the networks think we should be watching.
Forcing an insurrectionist into our living rooms was bad enough. Telling us we should like it is beyond the pale.
