CNN Hired People to Support Trump on air and stipulated that they NEVER bash him
Did they do the same for HRC?

Are these *our* airwaves, or Russia's?

1. First, CNN is not a broadcast station. They're a cable outlet.

That's a huge difference.

Second, you make this accusation, but where's your proof?

I'll agree that CNN had turned into the Trump channel, but that's where the viewers were.

CNN is where the viewers were? Huh??

2. "that's where the viewers were???" when the **** did the news become supply side?

and splitting the hair over a cable outlet and broadcast station is some pretty weak tea.

Ask Zucker where the proof is. That's what they did.

3. The distinction is a very big deal.

Cable doesnt play by the same rules. Cable new is supply side.

Broadcast networks get the airwaves for free providing they supply one hour of informational content. Cable providers do not have the same agreement. They MUST turn a profit to stay in the cable game.

To turn a profit, they need viewers. Especially in a media landscape that shifts quickly and people look for the news they want to read, or agrees with them.

7. Corey Lewandowsky was the head Trump cheerleader at CNN.

Cranking out propaganda while getting paid at both ends.

9. They didn't just "do the same for Hillary"

They did that for her. The Clinton campaign wanted Trump to get the nomination and pushed the networks to take him seriously.

Careful there DUmmie, the truth will buy you a pizza or a wicked response. To wit:

10. Nice try. No dice.

You don't get to pretend that the Clinton's controlled CNN when Russia was.

Damn, Russia has been busy. They hacked the DNC, they hacked the voting machines (which aren't connected to the internet), they control Trump and now we find out they control CNN.

I want to know what color the sky is in their world.

Hey DUmmies...:bigbird:

Yeah, did you see the thread over there calling for a boycott of CBS because they supported Trump?

CBS supported a candidate all right, and it wasn't Trump.

CNN was clearly in the bag for Trump?  In what alternate universe?  Just having one or two Trump supporters versus four or five for Cankles made CNN biased towards Trump?

Lunatics.

According to the DUmmies, the entire media was behind and supporting Trump. Complete B.S. as even Fox jumped on the anti-Trump train for a while.

This has been one of the comical aspects of this megga winning streak.... watching the primitives embrace and adopt full-blown McCarthyism, the very thing they have chastised for decades.

Yea, but it's ok when they do it.

Close, but no ceeee-gar. Lewandowsky did head up trump's campaign, for a time. And Lewandowsky was hired by CNN as a political commentator. BUT, contrary to oasis' insinuation, Lewandowsky did not work for CNN and the Trump Campaign simultaneously.

Given LaydeeBug's failure to name names, Lewandowsky looks like a token hire, possibly someone CNN thought its on-air people could mop the floor with.

I thought the Bush years were fun at the dump.  Boy was I wrong!  The next four years ought to be dummie gold. If Trump turns the economy around, and I think he will, expect 2020 to be a fairly big landslide victory for him. Dummies heads gonna be a'splodin all over the place.

Hell maybe they will finally move out of the USA along with the hollyweird movie stars.   :yahoo:

I just hope all the DUmmies heads don't explode or they are sent off with straitjackets to the rubber room.  This should prove to be 10 times the fun laughing at their idiocy than the W. era.

...and with absolutely zero self-awareness of what they're doing.  Of course, that applies to most everything in their mundane, soul-less existence.

They're just too smart for us.   :whistling:
