The ongoing shame of CNN

Look, I hate to be That Guy but the anti-Trump nonsense is not liberal politics. It is corporate decision. Comcast (NBC), Disney (ABC), and Time-Warner (CNN) want globalism because they believe in the long-term, globalism will mean fatter executive checks and larger bonuses.  Don Surber
Thomas Lifson: Slam dunk video exposes CNN/MSNBC idiocy on Trump
"Cable news Trump-haters, besotted with outrage, don’t bother to sweat the details when it comes to venting their spleen on President Trump.   Finding something – anything – on which to express outrage is their daily challenge.
Last Friday, when President Trump tweeted that he was looking forward to the jobs report, about to be released, they went into high dudgeon.
"Amusing though that sort of indignation can be, it gets hilarious when they make up an imaginary contrast with their fantasies about the wonderfulness of ex-President Obama. Add in a dare to find an example of Obama doing the horrible, terrible, probably illegal and impeachable thing that President Trump did, and they set themselves up for serious embarrassment and humiliation,
"Watch the one minute video from the GOP below and be rewarded with a dose of exquisite schadenfreude."



. . . "Jim Sciutto of CNN posted the picture and snottily wrote, "Trump is smiling next to a man who runs a gulag jailing some 200,000 North Koreans and who oversaw the sinking of a South Korean Navy ship killing 46 and the hacking of Sony North America."

"I posted a photo of FDR and Stalin smiling during World War II. Among Stalin's many, many atrocities was the starvation of 6 million Ukrainians during the Holodomor. They were reduced to cannibalism." . . .
He works for a network that cut a deal with Erdoğan to keep one of its international channels open. Turkey is not the only dictatorship that Time-Warner through its CNN beds with. The most infamous case was when it covered up the war crimes by Saddam Hussein to keep its bureau open in Baghdad, which became a propaganda arm for Hussein.

The Democrats Descend Into Farce  . . . "Or how about this? The May jobs numbers were posted last week and the economy is flying high. Unemployment is as low as it's been in decades and black unemployment is lower than ever. Here's what Don Lemon — CNN's Dumb to Chris Cuomo's Dumber — says about the report: "There's no question today's job report is good news, including the news that we're as close as we've ever been to full employment in the black community. But what's full employment without full respect?" Don apparently thinks Americans don't respect all black people. Who's going to break the news that it's just him we don't respect?" . . .

Whining about good news  "CNN's Don Lemon on Friday's record job numbers report for blacks: "What's full employment without full respect?"

"When someone hires you, it is safe to assume he respects you enough to entrust an important corner of his business to your care, and that he intends to pay you with money." . . .
Money pays the rent and furnishes food for the family.  Respect won't buy you a teacup of Starbucks, but then Don Lemon's cup is always way more than half empty.
