What the f#*k CNN? Cooper not covering seditious conspiracy, Thomas taking bribes, etc.

CNN, 5 pm PST, headlines with some coronation shit, then goes into a NY subway death, third story is "Michigan voters on whether Biden is too old to run again".

Now it's 5:45 & Anderson Cooper has not mentioned any of the real top stories - BUT he is in London and will be updating us on the coronation after the break. CNN are you serious? Am I missing something. Was it covered at another time?

I feel like I just watched Faux news, or entertainment tonight.

Fuck that shit!!!

If Cooper has an ounce of journalistic integrity and respect he would resign as an act of protest. I have left teaching jobs for this reason and even though it hurt me financially in the short term, I had my self respect intact.

I avoid visiting the CNN site except via some direct links in a post or article.

I started doing that with FOX more than a decade ago.
CNN joined the club. They have lost their way in terms of journalism

Proud Boys and Thomas. Lots of rape, murder, fights, and Biden incompetence. Tabloid stuff throughout

Thought CNN would have headlines on Proud Boys and Thomas. Nope. There was a link on the front page leading to the trial results article, but no headline on front page...just a trial update link.

Pretty bad.

Oh...and there was a CNN front page headline on how Sotomayor and Gorsuch didn't recuse from rulings in which their publishers were involved in a case. Still...they both-sided Sotomayor and Gorsuch but it appeared that Gorsuch's publisher actually had a SCOTUS case and Sotomayor did not (SCOTUS declined to hear).
