CNN = Fake News

They're fading fast and there's really nothing they can do. But it's their own damn fault.

First step of fascism, hating the press

First step of fascism, using the press to spread your propaganda
(but Harry Potter is cool....)

It's not propaganda, I just love to read Harry Potter

When you are entitled to your point of view.
Yes, the Harry Potter books are great. I gave ya an up vote!

So kinda like how Trump tried to use National Enquirer to blackmail Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski?

I love how Trump trips the media into condemning themselves.

I like how the left keeps calling Trump dumb. His IQ is over 150.

Basically. They did more than anyone to put him in the White House. I have zero sympathy for them.

There has been no proof Trump did anything like that. But you are diverting from the topic. This is not about Trump; it's about CNN losing its journalistic integrity.

I was responding to your assertation that fascists will use the press to spread their propaganda.

Scarborough and Brzezinski's accusation is not outside the realm of reason; the CEO of the Enquirer's parent company is a friend of and political donor to Donald Trump, and the Enquirer has made a habit over the last year and a half of running stories heavily critical of Trump opponents, while running none critical of Trump and even paying hush money to a woman who claims she had an affair with Trump.

How has CNN lost it's journalistic integrity? Aside from being a somewhat shallow level of coverage, as is typical of cable news, that is.

Harvard study found 93% of their stories were negative on Trump. Only 7% could be neutral or positive. That is not reporting; that's campaigning. All news is biased by the perspective of the reporter and news organization, but this is far beyond any previous instance. Moreover, CNN has been fixated on "Russia" but now even their own people have been found saying that they are knowingly beating a dead horse.

As for "Morning Joe," the possibility of an action does not prove it to be true. Many things are possible which are not true. When I see some truth, I'll believe it. It is even more possible that they made rude remakes about Trump on air, Trump made a rude tweet back, and Joe replied with a comment to get back at Trump.

Quoted from the opinion piece you cited: "it's simply a fact that a number of negative things happened in Trump's opening 100 days". If the Soviet Union had had a free press in the 1940's how much of their coverage of Stalin, do you suppose, would have been negative? Should a leader who is bad by most objective measures still get 50% positive press coverage? Should a leader who is good by most objective measures get 50% bad coverage, simply for the sake of "balance"? Or as the study authors said, "Never in the nation's history has the country had a president with so little fidelity to the facts, so little appreciation for the dignity of the presidential office, and so little understanding of the underpinnings of democracy."

If Russia is such "fake news" and a "dead horse" why then did Trump, in a news conference today, say, "I think it was Russia", "I think it could very well have been Russia", and "it was Russia", when asked to definitively say whether he thought Russia was responsible for election interference? If Trump himself says he believes it, is it still "fake news"? If it is not "fake news", what does that say about the president's attempts to sway his supporters' opinion with lies and misdirection? And if still "fake news", what does that say about the president's ability to discern truth from lies?

You do realize that Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski were early Trump supporters, yes? They began to make fair criticisms of Trump, such as the botched rollout of his first travel ban or the failed Obamacare repeal bill. Trump, being incapable of handling criticism, lashed out the only way he knows how, with angry tweets.

OK, you think Trump stinks, so you feel all the press should attack him. I'll never be able to convince you because you are stuck in your view.

Russia has been trying to influence our elections for decades and decades. What is fake is that Trump colluded with Russia. There has been not proof, and even CNN news people have been caught on video saying the same thing. In fact, reports of Hillary's team with ties to Russia also have come out -- John Podesta. I don't think Hillary is a Russia sellout, put it shows you that appearances do not constitute proof (source: http://nypost.com/2017/07/05/uncovering-the-russia-ties-of-hillarys-campaign-chief/

I watch Morning Joe also. Joe and Mika were NOT Trump supporters; they just took his campaign seriously and interviewed him honestly. During the primary election, Joe openly said he did not support Trump for the Republican nomination. After the election they were very critical of Trump. You obviously don't like the travel ban and other Trump actions, so you feel the criticism is justified, so I'll never convince you to see thinks differently.... Again, is Trump "incapable of handling criticism" or is he hitting back when attacked? It is just a matter of perspective. If you think it is "un-presidential" to make such tweets, again, you are free to feel that way (many people agree with you), but that is just an opinion biased by your perspective (as is mine).

Finally, you are making it all about Trump. My meme is simply joking that CNN is a corporate news channel that I find lacking. When they blackmailed that guy who made the gif, I was horrified. That was my motivation. Blackmailers lack integrity. Let's agree to disagree.

Oh my. I laughed so hard just now. Good job!

I see I upvoted this but missed commenting :)
