CNN: the most busted name in news. Well busted.

 Thomas Lifson:  Trump campaign sues CNN  "I have to admit that the lawsuit that the Trump campaign promises to launch against CNN seems like a long shot to me.  Or, as the media like to say about lawsuits of which they approve, it is an "innovative" or "path-breaking" legal strategy.

"But winning a jury verdict may be beside the point.  The prospect of examining internal documents and compelling testimony under oath promises rich material for political gain.  The rules of civil litigation offer far more flexibility than government prosecution when it comes to gathering evidence.

"Paul Bedard of the Washington Examiner:

Outraged by secretly taped anti-Trump comments attributed to CNN President Jeff Zucker and others at the cable network, President Trump's campaign is vowing to sue the company for "a substantial payment of damages."

In a four-page letter to CNN, Zucker, and Executive Vice President David Vigilante, Trump attorney Charles J. Harder cited years of anti-Trump bias at the network and claimed the cable giant has broken its promise of "excellence in journalism."

Listing several examples from the just-released Project Veritas videotapes of CNN insiders describing Zucker's demand for "impeachment above all else," Harder wrote that they "are merely the tip of the iceberg of the evidence my clients have accumulated over recent years."

He added, "Never in the history of this country has a President been the subject of such a sustained barrage of unfair, unfounded, unethical and unlawful attacks by so-called 'mainstream' news, as the current situation."

. . ."Joe DiGenova, who knows roughly a million times as much as I do about the law, sees a strong case, in the Daily Caller (hat tip: Roger Luchs):"

CNN staffers were caught on tape admitting that their network "is totally left-leaning" while pretending that's not the case. The employees say it's an unwritten rule that conservatives and even centrists are not welcome at CNN, that they are well aware of how biased anchors such as Don Lemon are, and that CNN President Jeffery [sic] Zucker has a "personal vendetta" against the president of the United States.  . . .

Sorry Brits: UK’s First Chick-Fil-A Is Closing Thanks To The LGBT Lobby

Chicks On The Right  "Chick-fil-A just opened its first UK location in Reading, England, on October 10.  By the next day, the location had served over a thousand customers.  Now, just over a week later, the location will be closing.
"Why?  It’s not because the Brits dislike tasty chicken sandwiches.  Nope – it’s because of the LGBT lobby.  Gay rights activists called for a boycott of Chick-fil-A and Reading Pride has been protesting the location.
"As a result, the shopping center where the Chick-fil-A is located won’t renew the company’s lease:

A spokesperson for The Oracle shopping center told the BBC that “the right thing to do” was to prevent the fast-food chain from doing business in response to the LGBTQ outcry.“We always look to introduce new concepts for our customers, however, we have decided on this occasion that the right thing to do is to only allow Chick-Fil-A to trade with us for the initial six-month pilot period, and not to extend the lease any further,” said the spokesperson.

"The protesters and boycotters expressed delight over this news.
"Chick-fil-A has been embroiled with controversy since 2012, when the company’s president, a Christian, came out in favor of traditional marriage.  Since then, LGBTQ activists have been calling for boycotts of the company across the U.S.  However, the call for boycotts have largely backfired.  Americans want that chicken.

Despite the efforts to harm the business, with college campuses and two city airports banning the chain from opening up shop, the chicken empire’s sales continue to climb and have only doubled since the boycotts launched in 2012.

"The company’s sales have increased from $4.6 billion in 2012 to $10.46 billion in 2018, making Chick-fil-A the third largest chain in the U.S., behind only McDonald’s and Starbucks.
"In addition to good food, Chick-fil-A is just a good company.  Their employees are always courteous, and you always see Chick-fil-A willing to pitch in during a disaster – remember when a power outage stranded thousands at the Atlanta airport, and Chick-fil-A opened on a Sunday to serve the stranded passengers?
"Boycotting Chick-fil-A is a great example of (1) viewpoint discrimination and (2) virtue-signaling rather than fighting actual discrimination.  The only thing Chick-fil-A has done wrong is employ a president with conservative Christian values.  Chick-fil-A is not discriminatory: the company both employs and serves people of all races and orientations. 
"But that doesn’t matter to the militant left."
