CNN mocked for glorifying JFKs ‘legendary’ infidelity after harping on sex allegations against Trump

The Not-CNN News via Drudge.


"CNN was slammed for hypocrisy over the weekend when the network glorified President John F. Kennedy’s many infidelities after spending significant coverage painting President Trump as a monster for an alleged affair that occurred prior to his political career.  

"While promoting “The Kennedys,” CNN hailed the 35th president's “legendary love life,” before asking, “Did one of his affairs connect him with the mob?” The tweet featured video detailing JFK’s relationship with actress Judy Campbell, who was allegedly intimate with the head of the Chicago mafia while also having an affair with the president.

“ 'Hypocrisy at its finest,” one user responded.  

"Author Joshua Kendall responded that “legendary love life” is a poor choice of words because it makes JFK’s infidelity sound “glamorous” and attached a link to a recent Los Angeles Times op-ed headlined, “JFK may have been a worse philanderer than Trump. Does it matter?”

"Daily Caller media reporter Amber Athey quoted CNN’s promotional tweet and wrote, “That’s certainly an interesting way to describe having numerous affairs while president. I think we need to get Anderson Cooper on this to find out if JFK was wearing a condom.”

"After seeing the promo, pundit Stephen Miller sarcastically channeled his inner CNN and asked, “Why does no one take us seriously when we constantly talk about Trump’s behavior with women?”

"Cooper, who is CNN's biggest star, had sat down with both Playboy playmate Karen McDougal and porn actress Stormy Daniels in recent days to ask detailed questions about their alleged affairs with Trump. CNN has spent significant time analyzing all aspects of the alleged affairs including questions about intimate details." . . .


Here is a marvel of CNN's journalistic softballism in this Dan Lothian question to Obama. You can hear someone in the press gaggle loudly enjoying Obama's reply:





CNN is the world’s foremost news gathering network and it is watched daily in millions of homes, offices, schools and government agencies around the globe. CNN Newsource is the nation’s premier news service, licensed to local news providers throughout the world, so they might utilize news material gathered by CNN to enhance their own newscasts.

Hogg, and the MSM continue their war on conservative opinion

Hogg may have been thrust into the public arena, but he has chosen to wallow in it and exploit it for his own far-left ideological agenda.  Laura Ingraham may have been arguably rude, for which she has apologized.  Yet she is right.  David Hogg is a foul-mouthed whiner and hypocrite who touts his free speech rights while seeking to deny that right to others: . . .    Daniel John Sobieski

Boss Hogg and His Ingraham Angle  . . . "Parenthetically, young Mr. Hogg's mother, Rebecca Boldrick, is an ardent anti-Trumper with frequent Facebook posts sliming our 45th president, one of which has a picture of son David sitting at a CNN anchor desk during a studio tour.  It might be assumed that her son started with a similar anti-Trump bias even before the shooting.  You did not hear from Hogg at the recent March for Our Lives, or any other speaker, that neither the march nor the burial of 17  Parkland victims would have been necessary but for the failure of law enforcement agencies to do the jobs assigned to them.

"There is plenty to criticize about David Hogg's actions and statements, yet that is not permitted.  Hogg is permitted to slander and slime anybody from the president on down.  If you disagree with him, blood is on your hands.  But don't dare mock one of his tweets, as Fox News host Laura Ingraham did.  The tragedy at Parkland has somehow transformed Hogg into an oracle we must honor and worship even as he ironically seeks to transform America into a gun-free zone.  In a rhetorical sense, he has become bullet-proof:" . . .

‘Lacks A Basic Understanding’ — Kyle Kashuv Takes On David Hogg In Epic Tweetstorm

David Hogg called 'nasty and VILE' by classmate whose sister died in Parkland massacre
Here is the Twitter feed between Hogg, Patrick Petty, Chelsea Handler and others including CNN itself:  https://twitter.com/Patrickpetty23
. . . "Then there was the case of Hunter Pollack, another Parkland massacre survivor, whose sister Meadow was murdered in the killing spree - he was denied a speaking slot and shut out at the March for our Lives, because his views weren't deemed worthy of the big-dollar leftwing organizers who put the event on, despite being far closer to the horror that happened, than either Hogg or his sidekick, Emma Gonzalez. both of whom got prime speaking slots. Kashuv was denied, too." . . .

If Fox News cancels Laura Ingraham, it might as well close the network
Long after David Hogg’s fame has faded, attempts to deplatform conservatives and destroy Fox News will continue

"There is an all out assault in progress trying to drive Laura Ingraham off television and radio, led by Parkland student and newly-minted media star David Hogg.
"Ingraham is a target, superficially, because she mocked Hogg as a whiner in a tweet after he publicly griped that several colleges had rejected him. On the scale of internet insults, saying that someone is “whining” doesn’t even register it’s so mild.
"I don’t believe for a second that any of the outrage against Ingraham is actually a result of what she said. It’s all contrived, or the result of pressure, and part of a political power play.
"Certainly, what Ingraham said doesn’t come close to the vile accusations regularly made by Hogg against people who disagree with him on gun control. Hogg is so fundamentalist and absolutist that all his opponents are reduced to demons in his rhetoric.
 . . . 
"Hogg is the excuse to try to deplatform Ingraham, but he’s not the reason. The reason this is happening is that groups like Media Matters have fought a decade-long battle to deplatform conservatives in media by pressuring advertisers.
"I explored the history and tactics in my April 19, 2017 post, Here’s why Rush survived pressure on advertisers while O’Reilly didn’t:" . . .
It’s not about Laura Ingraham or David Hogg — it’s about an unhinged and emboldened totalitarian movement that seeks to deplatform conservatives. Their primary target for a decade has been Fox News, which is the one non-liberal network in a sea of liberal major media.
Sacrificing Laura Ingraham won’t satiate the beast. If Fox News cancels Laura Ingraham over this faux outrage about her tweet, then Fox News might as well close the network.
 

Il Papa, just what DO you believe?

http://www.terrellaftermath.com/
When asked about “bad souls,” the pope reportedly said the souls of unrepentant sinners simply vanish after death and are not subject to eternal damnation, a deviation from scriptural teaching.
“They are not punished. Those who repent obtain the forgiveness of God and enter the rank of souls who contemplate him,” Pope Francis said, according to a translation by Rorate Caeli. "But those who do not repent, and cannot therefore be forgiven, disappear.
“There is no hell,” he allegedly continued. “There is the disappearance of sinful souls.”
So the terrorist or gang-banger who says "Live how you want now because after this life there is nothing" would be absolutely right? 
Nazi killers of Jews simply vanish just like the other ordinary schlubs who rejected the gift of life as Christ offered, right?

Vatican Rejects Atheist Interviewer's Claim That Pope Denied Existence of Hell
"The Roman Catholic Church has released a statement denying widely circulated claims that Pope Francis recently denied the existence of Hell.
"Eugenio Scalfari, a 93-year-old atheist philosopher, claimed in statements published by La Repubblica that Francis had told him in a conversation that "Hell does not exist" and that "those who do not repent and cannot therefore be forgiven disappear."
"Despite the news being circulated by many websites and blogs, including the widely read Drudge Report, the Vatican has since denied that the pontiff said these specific things.
"In a statement released Thursday, the Holy See stated in a communique the quotes reported by Scalfari was his own "reconstruction" and not the exact words of Francis.
" 'What is reported by the author in today's article is the result of his reconstruction, in which the literal words pronounced by the Pope are not quoted," said the Holy See, as quoted by the Catholic News Agency." . . .

Yeah? Then what about this?

Watch How CNN employee Hogg Responds When Confronted On Claim He's Actually the Bully in Ingraham Feud

Having someone apologize to you then refusing to accept it unless conditions are met is what bullies do.ter Ads info and privacy
"During his appearance on CNN (naturally!) on Saturday, Hogg was read the tweet and asked what his thoughts on it were.
"He responded:
“I don't agree with it. Just like Laura, she can have her opinion, he can have his. It's up to them, but I don't agree with it personally.”

When asked if Hogg would accept Ingraham's invitation back onto his show to have a “productive discussion,” Hogg stated that he would only consider it if she “apologizes to all the people she has hurt throughout her professional career.”
