Props to CNN for airing this!!!

Finally, someone who gets it. CNN may be left-leaning on some (most?) social issues, but they are as right as they come when it comes to how they report and frame progressive left-leaning economic policies. The only time I watch trash CNN or trash Fox is from the lens of progressive youtube channels that point the BS on both sides. CNN had a media blackout for Bernie in 2016 and continuously downplayed his early victories in the 2020 primaries. Most boomers consume their news via TV, which is why framing is critical for understanding issues.

Can someone remind me - between CNN and Fox News, who recently won a defamation lawsuit against one of their most popular hosts using the defense “no reasonable person should take him seriously”?

Nobody knows this one?

This is why Fagpole is the most hated poster on LRC. Arrogant, contradictory and under the belief he's the smartest one in the room. First, no one watches CNN anymore. Under 1 million viewers. Second, Bari unintentionally points out the problem that these stories are "out there" BUT CNN IS NOT COVERING THEM!!!! They are on smaller media like websites and CNN dismisses them even though the stories are legit. Bari personifies the smug Marie Antoinette democrat attitude that people matter, especially the middle class and minorities matter but do nothing for them. Joe Biden/democrats are the biggest job killers ever. How does the unemployment rate "drop" when industries like the food companies can't even hire a complete staff? Golden Corral has 5,000 openings nationwide? Everything from food, heating, lumber, clothing and unemployment is about to skyrocket while your lifestyle is about to plummet. This is due to the party that leaches onto the government tit and has never run a business. Let's Go Brandon

That video shows nothing more than the fact that CNN allows all opinions. Steltzer wasn't defensive at all and actually was prodding her along to make clear what her opinion was

Wow you're dumb. CNN is notoriously one-sided. This is a rarity. CNN is well-know for cuting out an interviewee when they say something that was opposite of what the expected.

You know it flagpole. You are so dishonest.

The problem is we lost touch with reality. There are no conservative values worth abiding anymore.

We have one major news outlet claiming the sky is red. All other channels claim the sky is blue. Yet, somehow, in our new reality, claiming the sky is blue is leftist propaganda. They have an agenda to turn us all in to blue sky loving socialists!

Telling the truth is NOT and I repeat NOT leftist.

INCORRECT! Flagpole is a great poster. Go back into hibernation if you can't handle him.

1) I am not the smartest person in every room (most rooms though...that's just the truth, and I'm not even proud of it because I had nothing to do with it...just a gift I was given at birth), but I'm definitely smarter than AYONE who writes or says "Let's Go Brandon". 2) I'm not the most hated poster here...not by a long shot. I have a fan club even that is 20 years strong. Do you have that? 3) Your doom and gloom is decades strong, brother. I've been told since I was 18 that inflation or the Chinese or some other such nonsense would make it so that I would never be able to achieve the lifestyle of my parents, and blah, blah, blah. It's just noise. I have way more financial freedom than my parents do, will retire before they did even though they did so early (at ages 60 and 61), and I am much wealthier than they are. 4) Your idea that Democrats don't own businesses is so full of crap. I own my own business. There are a LOT of Democrats who own businesses, many of whom you Trumpers demonize. 5) Try again...or not. You aren't equipped to be successful trying to match wits with me.

*ANYONE*

Thanks, brother! Your check is in the mail!

Yep. There are SOME traditional GOP values (at least ones they have SAID they value) that are very good.

The GOP has long said they are for fiscal responsibility. Actually I have never seen evidence of that in practice, and both parties suck at that, but I'm for that as a platform plank.

The GOP has long said they are for smaller government which I am actually also for. Well, that never really happens either. When a party is in power, they want to keep all the people working for them that they can. Just kind of how it is.

The GOP has long said they are for "family values". Well, that one is flat out bunk. They are for traditional conservative Christian values but not family values. Family values includes ALL families of all makeups, support for time off of work for both parents when there is a new baby, etc. I am actually for "Family Values", but I use a complete and correct definition of what that means.

The GOP has lost its way. The party is dominated now by conspiracy theorists, dictator apologists, racists, and just flat out morons. It's a real shame. While I'm a Democrat, I liked the fact that Conservatives such as George Will were there to offer a reasonable opposing opinion to keep some of the more radical ideas in check. His view is not the prevailing GOP view anymore, and as he has said, the Republican Party left him. It's a real shame. John McCain was a reasonable, honorable conservative. John Kasich also. There just isn't room for people like that in the party anymore.

Nope. So, you have felt that all along with other vaccines that have been "mandated", then, right? When the military is mandated to get a TON of vaccines, is that authoritarian? If you say no, is it because they do they can leave that job if they want to? Well, that's the same with current COVID vaccine mandates. It's just a condition of employment. People can (and some are) quit their jobs if they want.

What about other things the government demands that you do? Pay taxes, register cars, wear a seat belt, don't speed, stop at stop signs and red lights, must be a certain age to buy tobacco and alcohol, CAN'T buy and use certain drugs, etc. Is all of that authoritarian also? Do you support chaos?

Just wanted to point out that as of right now you literally cannot find a CNN article regarding the fact that the US did fund gain of function research despite the fact Faucci told congress that was not the case.

Yes, CNN is an unbiased new source.

You call THAT a "rant"?

What do you call it when Bernie Sanders starts shouting and spitting?
