Is CNN fake news??!?

[luckyshot]

CNN gave one of the most uncharitable interpretations of Trump, and the election in general, than any other reputable news network, painting Hillary in a good light and undermining all her gaffs, while exaggerating every little mistake Trump made. By the end of the election it reached propaganda status and it was quite evident to anyone who was being honest. They weren't lying, per se, but it was blatantly anti-Trump propaganda.

Fake news is a misnomer, but the implication behind the term is apt.

So, Democrat FOX?

The dangerous thing about Trump overusing the fake news meme is that it damages people's ability to recognize actual fake news.

Btw, have you heard about Trump's addiction to cock pills!?!

Also, I guess Fox News and Trump himself gave Obama a fair shake during his tenure.

Basically, fuck Trump and fuck you for all of a sudden calling out fake news when this has been going on for decades yet the right and Trumpettes just love to conveniently ignore or outright lie when the shoe is on the other foot.

 

[Calley]

Not fake but heavily biased but thats not the worst part. What CNN does NOT broadcast is the real scandal.

 

[Witchhunt]

Should be really easy for you to post a bunch of examples then.

Lazy

Can anyone give me examples of CNN fake news articles?

This is what has got them banned but I can't find good compilations on the net..

CNN is a polished machine, which means they lie with plausible deniability, mainly via misleading emphasis and omission. But it falls apart if you know what you're looking at (or wikileaks catches them). Two quick examples are the way they reported on Pissgate, shining a giant spotlight on the ridiculous claims publicized by Buzzfeed while claiming on the surface that they weren't backing them up, and the way they pathetically ignored Hillary Clinton's Wall Street speech leak when it broke IIRC simultaneously with Trump's pussy-grabbing tape.

Cnn is actually better than fox in that they use some truth and twist it. I havent forgotten about terrorist fist bump fox used and other really low blows to make their viewers believe he is a muslim or how much he hates america and the juice. Trump is a really ridiculous character compared to obama as well

Birther in chief has no leg to stand on here.

CNN = totally biased.

Breitbart and info wars = fake news.

So, Democrat FOX?

Not even close. They have a lot of flaws, but it's not ideologically or politically leaning at all. Remember that they aired Trump rallies live and unedited, paid Jeffrey Lord to lie on Trump's behalf constantly, hired Lewandowski when he was legally prohibited from criticizing Trump, etc. They made the bogus Clinton email "scandal" the central issue of their campaign coverage.

What we're seeing is right-wing propagandists trying to discredit regular news as being "Fox equivalents." An actual Fox equivalent doesn't even exist. MSNBC (which gets pointed to) used to have a lot of left-leaning opinion shows, but almost no news of any kind, and it was never as widely consumed or trusted by liberals as Fox is by right-wingers.

Anyway, "fake news" refers to stuff like Macedonian teenagers making stuff up for clicks. Not news that partisans would prefer be kept under wraps or even the errors that you see in mainstream publications. Trump benefited from a lot of it because his supporters are less discerning, and he's been trying to turn it around to avoid scrutiny from the public.

Didn't you say that CNN actually was more favorable to Trump over Clinton ? Yea or no?

 

[Lord_Impaler]

They create a narrative that is not representative of reality by incessantly covering certain things, omitting some things, emphasizing this, bringing "experts" on to legitimize or delegitimize that.

They craft a story line for ideological purpose.

The semantics of whether it's "fake" or not is confusing and unnecessary.

Most of the time they may not sit there and tell you the sky is pink, but the sum of their coverage adds up to a story that's not a reflection of reality, or not a reflection of the whole reality.

I don't know if they're more or less favorable, and I don't think I've said otherwise. The notion that they had a pro-Clinton bias is nuts, though. I think it's a combination of hacks wanting to work the refs, people wanting confirmation bias in news, and people failing to distinguish between opinion commentary and news (and between the opinions of hosts and an organizational view). They don't have any ideological agenda, either. It's just a business, and they try to have broad appeal (unlike Fox, which is also a business, but tries to and does capture right-wingers who get mad about real news).

Ed: Generally, if you're interested in accuracy about my views, read my posts rather than what trolls say I said.

How about running a banner
"Are Jews People?"


"Hands up don't shoot"


Insinuating trump is an anti Semite (even though Obama had just sold out Israel)


Don't hire veterans, they're dangerous.


Illegal immigrants aren't breaking the law.





Just look up all the stupid shit brainless brook baldwin has said.

Horowitz is misrepresenting the numbers for murder there. He chose an arbitrary low point of 2012 and compared it to 2016, rather than look at overall change (it's been slowly decreasing from the '90s).

The amount of people actually getting killed in violent crime may be decreasing but that mainly has to do with more competent surgeons nowadays compared to 20-30 years ago. It certainly doesn't mean the crime rate is down.

Here's a graph showing the increase of attempted killings (both murder and manslaughter) in Sweden since 1977 (per 100 000 people):

And yes, it's mainly immigrants who are committing these kind of violent crimes in Sweden.

 

[JJHouse]

NBC and CNN Falsely Suggests Trump Talked of ‘Terror’ in Sweden at CPAC. It was an outright lie.

Former John McCain/Jeb Bush strategist: Trump's Attacks On Media "Correlated" With Anti-Semitism... what pure rot.

CNN claimed that Nancy Sinatra was upset President Trump used her famous song. She was not, and chastised CNN for lying.

CNN used doctored photographs to 'prove' that the Inauguration turnout was very low. Problem? They used a photo from approximately three hours before the event.

And of course, there was the Mother of All Lies, when CNN and Buzzfeed leaked a report that was COMPLETELY unvetted and unproven, that President Trump paid hookers to pee on him.

 

[Letssnuggle]

They gave Hillary the debate questions.

They gave Hillary the debate questions.

^^

Boom.

Need more? I would refer you to the 2016 presidential election.

 

[Stoic1]

I don't know if they're more or less favorable, and I don't think I've said otherwise. blah blah blah some other complete bullshit

You straight out said that CNN was slanted for Trump. Are you now denying you said this? Because you seem to be pulling a JVS.

Well, perhaps the MSM should have thought about that when they gave birth to the phrase, in a pathetic attempt to make up yet another excuse for Clinton losing the election.
