THE UNHOLY ALLIANCE BETWEEN CNN AND THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY

Unspoken alliances often develop when two entities share a common goal and can support each other’s effort to achieve said goal. The entertainment industry is not shy about their allegiance to the Democratic party, and although CNN anchors can’t admit their selfsame devotion, it is pretty obvious to everyone watching.

Athletes and actors have mutual admiration and envious relationship with each other. Actors want to play football and football players want to walk the red carpet at movie premieres. Likewise, CNN anchors dream of being mobbed by fans while comedians dream of being CNN anchors who get to tell the American people what to think.

It is no surprise that CNN anchors believe part of their job as journalists is to replay every SNL skit that lampoons the Republicans. The entertainers reciprocate by having the CNN folk appear on their shows as “celebrity guests.” The subconscious positive reinforcement is strong and is reminiscent of Pavlovian dog training. Anchors who attack Trump are rewarded with appearances on late night TV, and if late night TV attacks Trump they are rewarded by having their jokes treated as news stories by CNN. Since both sides already prostitute their profession, there is no reason not to do some favors for fellow #resistance fighters.

This phenomenon has never been more evident than on modern-day Saturday Night Live. The show is not content with slap stick mockery of Republicans anymore, they are now in lock step with the Democrat’s actual message. A great example is the current midterm elections.

The Democrats and CNN want to get the message across that the migrant-caravan-story is only fear mongering by Republicans. So SNL does their duty and mocks the manner Republicans discuss the caravan as fear mongering. Then, CNN replays the SNL mockery as news to reinforce the Democratic message.

Ironically, as CNN demeans the Republican story about illegal immigration as fear mongering, they partake in the fear mongering that Democrats practice over healthcare. Message controlled.

THE WASHING POST CREATES A TESTAMENT TO THE MEDIA’S ANTI-TRUMP BIAS

The US media outlets continuously attempt to outdo each other in their quest to publicly skewer the President. They persist in re-imagining actual events to fit their four or five persistent narratives meant to belittle Trump. One narrative they have fallen in love with is that Trump is an unprecedented-liar. And one herculean effort to hoodwink the American people into believing this false narrative was concocted by the Washington Post (WAPO.) They created an abortion of truth in the form of an interactive, graphical, updating, accumulation of 4,229 (and counting) falsehoods or misleading claims made by the President. The crown jewel of modern day fact-checking.

In the Washington Post’s attempt to create a history of Trump lies, they have inadvertently created a historical testament to the bias of their own paper. I believe that in the near future, this WAPO creation will be studied in schools as young students marvel with open mouths at the audacity of the journalistic bias prevalent during the Trump era. In fact, the piece is so light on actual lies, you will note that they add the term “or misleading claims” into the title so they can lump opposing opinions in with the alleged lies. How do they get away with it? Ask CNN’s Brian Stelter, Brooke Baldwin or Jake Tapper, or the swarms of journalists who only read this project’s headline (above) and then irresponsibly proclaim that Trump spewed four thousand lies on their cable news shows or in their tabloids, solely based on the headline.

Let’s examine the first batch of the Washington Post’s findings to see how the Post bastardized the fact-check:

Trump said “collusion is not a crime” which is true. WAPO claims Trump is playing word games because something else, that is not “collusion,” is a crime. Huh? Who is playing word games, Trump? This is insanity and WAPO should be thankful no one actually reads past the headline of this mockery of journalism. PS, paying Christopher Steele to buy Russian intelligence from Russian agents is kind of, sort of, possibly, likely collusion, sorry Hillary.

Trump stated he didn’t need the Koch brothers support, which he did not get. WAPO is claiming… the Koch’s support for Republican senators “likely” had an overall positive effect on Trump. This assertion is the Post’s opinion, not a fact. In reality, the Koch’s did many things to impede Trump’s success as well. Additionally, WAPO relies on the fact the no one will read the Politico article they linked because in no way did the article affirm that Trump sought the Koch’s support, it claimed someone from Trump’s campaign filled out a questionnaire, lol.

This particular fact check by WAPO defies human logic. They wrote a sentence that has nothing to do with what Trump said. Where did Trump say anything about the ratio of people crossing the border into/out of America? They should fire the intern who wrote that one.

The three lies I linked were not anomalies. I chose the first three lies written on the first topic. Journalism is dead.

CNN Hiring Practices Called Into Question?

During the week of February 4th, many proponents of fairness in the media felt shock after seeing the most recent hire at CNN. Who was this new recruit? Josh Campbell, the FBI agent who publicly authored a NY Times opinion piece against Trump. In response to the personnel move, Donald Trump Jr tweeted, “You would think their stable is full in the hate on Trump department. Ahh, who am I kidding? It’s CNN of course there’s more room.”

What did Trump Jr mean?

One might think that Don Jr was referring to the hosts. Perhaps Jake Tapper, a former writer for a far left publication? Maybe Chris Cuomo, the son and brother of pillars of the democratic party? Or could it be Jim Sciutto, a former Obama official, who comes with former Obama officials as sources? These three are just a taste of the issue with hosts but this is not the travesty Don was referencing.

Another theory would be Don Jr was referring to the stable of pundits who appear on panels. It is quite common to find entire panels of anti-Trump perspectives. Many of the experts at CNN are direct hires from the Clinton/Obama machine. ‘HIres,’ such as regulars, Gloria Borger and David Axelrod or even the contributors like Neera Tanden, John Podesta and Robby Mook or even the countless guests who easily outnumber supporters of Trump 5-1. (With the ‘1’ being self-hating republican Anna Navarro)

The true problem Don Jr saw was that CNN is boldly and irreverently hiring symbols of the resistance. The pattern is too much to ignore.

Trump Hater Unemployment At All-Time Low

After mounting a campaign to be President in the state of Utah, with the sole purpose of thwarting the Trump presidency, Evan McMullin was hired as consultant at CNN.
When reporter April Ryan engaged in a public fight with the President and became a hero of the resistance she found herself working at CNN a day later.
After the media pretended Preet Bahara was a hero for getting replaced by the Trump administration, Preet got a paycheck from CNN.
Once James Clapper broke tradition and called Trump a threat to democracy he found that he earned a part-time gig at CNN.

The amount of time between the acts of #resistance and the hiring is troubling. One might ask if Josh Campbell was promised a job in return for his op-ed.

The bias at CNN is quantifiable if anyone cared to look. The only remaining question is why Sally Yates did not cash in, did she have a better offer at MSNBC?

Jake Tapper’s Judgement Clouded

The CNN anchor Jake Tapper captured two former heads of the United States intelligence agencies admitting {video below} that they both believe Donald Trump is assaulting our democracy and yet Tapper didn’t ask the most basic follow-up question.

Clapper, ‘I think our institutions are under assault internally’
Tapper, ‘Internally from the President?”
Clapper, “Exactly’
Clapper, ‘I feel as though [checks and balances] is under assault and eroding’
Hayden, ‘As a citizen I totally agree with what Jim {Clapper] told you yesterday’ [said after hearing Clapper’s comments]

Does Tapper comprehend what happens if the leaders of the NSA, CIA and FBI conclude that the President is assaulting democracy? These two former intelligence giants surmised that Trump is impeding the other branches of our government from doing one of their constitutionally assigned duties; keeping the executive in check. Tapper is so happy to have people on his team (Go Hillary) he doesn’t ask the spy duo what they would do about this crisis, or what their replacements are going to do about it. If they feel our very democracy is in jeopardy, then what? Watch it all fall down? Great job Jake. Maybe when the Marines call Trump a Clear and Present Danger you will awake from your slumber. These men are dangerous.

Being alarmist about the alarmists?
