    I watched CNN on election night because I like the way what's his name covers elections on his nifty map.
    I can say this for certain, they have no credibility with any republicans and probably not much with anyone else either. They were so anti Trump that night and so sure that Trump would lose that they refused to call Florida for Trump until just briefly before the election was called and Trump was about to give his victory speech.

    "It's a whitelash" they said of Trump's victory.

    Every day they try to bring down the American president. They're an awful organization and the only times I watch them now is when Fox is on a commercial break and I need a good laugh.

    So he's kinky? Who cares?
    Maybe he shouldn't be kinky in central park I'll give you that but otherwise, so what?

    If they really did fire Rick Sanchez just for saying that then that's not cool in my book.

    Of course, what you were told here is not accurate. He said CNN is run by bigots.

    Sexually repressed Republicans. :D

    Pretty kinky! He must have been on his way home from a hot date. He was "with friends" I'm not as surprised by the gay kink as much as the meth. He's British! Brits don't do meth! :D

    The meth is bad. I've never seen anyone who can control its use.

    Why is it "gay kink?"
    I'm not saying it is or isn't because I don't know about that particular fetish but kinky doesn't mean gay. I have kinks and no way am I gay. My kinks all involve women. Or at least they would if I could get the women to play along.

    Ah that's different. If I told my boss he and everyone at the company was a bigot then I'd be fired too and he wouldn't be as nice about it as CNN was.

    Ah yes. And Venezuela is a perfect example of protection of accuracy in the media, right?

    It appears like Venezuela is the example of the roadmap that Trump would like us to follow.

    There's a problem with that graph. The broadcast networks are in every home. The cable networks aren't. So obviously more people will choose one of the three broadcast news divisions.

    Interesting that the only news source that has a "Not too credible/Not at all credible" rating higher than Fox is The Onion.

    Israelis – even members of the government – laugh at innocent Palestinians who are being murdered, they view it as entertainment:

    A CNN reporter called these despicable people "scum" on Twitter, and for that she was pulled from her post:

    Jewish liars, smear artists, character assassins get caught for once. How about that?

    I think Mr Zucker fell into his own pile of excrement and simply says "Never happened", that smell just is your imagination. Denial is a powerful thing. Unfortunately, the media that used to point it out now practices it.

    This thread is good for my first really good belly laugh for the day. That fool president would know the truth if it bit him in the ass.

    CNN's president Jeff Zucker is higher than ever. Nuff said.

    Is this a joke? This is the network that fed debate questions ahead of time to Hillary, and vetted articles with Democratic Party operatives.

    Glad you mentioned he's a Jew. Just to be sure!

    Oh and, CNN has less retractions and/or has a higher trust rating than Fox, Breitbart, Drudge, Limbaugh, Blaze, and Infowars.

    A study also put CNN as far less biased than Fox or MSNBC: https://web.stanford.edu/~ayurukog/cable_news.pdf

    While better than far right news sources, CNN still isn't all that great. I try to mostly go with BBC, NPR, PBS, WSJ, Guardian, WAPO, and Politico.[/quote]

    I don't disagree with the thrust of your post, but attacking kids is bad form.

    I think his statement is laughable. I don't know how what he looks like, or what his religious beliefs are, are relevant.

    Well, CNN likes to bring up the jew issue:

    Clearly, the Trump administration has a problem with Jews

    And here's a picture that was published in the Israeli newspaper the Jerusalem Post:
