1. He's right.

Media coverage has been awful.

[yallerdawg]

2. I think Zakaria is looking at it from a global position.

How the little guys getting stepped on are wanting someone to take a stand for them and say, "Enough!"

If Obama had done something like this in 2013 as a response to the use of outlawed chemical weapons, I wouldn't complain.

However, what Obama did do was remove and destroy Assad's chemical stockpiles without meaningless military strikes, so it worked out well.

Fareed Zakaria also pointed out the Liar-in-Chief seems to be moved by images on TV, so on his show he featured starving children across Africa - in case the "leader of the free world" was watching - where we have an ongoing humanitarian crisis involving 20,000,000 Africans across that continent!

Zakaria reminds us how many problems we have in this world, and how insignificant our responses often are.

Reminds me of Clinton, who took steps to end genocide in the Baltic States, but said his greatest regret was not helping in Rwanda.

8. The "Liar-in Chief"?? Really? That again?

Fareed and all other talking heads need to learn how to walk and chew gum at the same time. They aren't capable of talking about anything other than the one shiny object in the wind.

President Obama tried to get congressional approval how many times and everything he tried to address he was shot down, time after time? Yeah, we have 20 million people starving, these are situations the were allowed to occur by other administrations, like Reagan and Poppi, they allowed American corporations to dump toxic materials in Somalia for decades. And we wonder why they have turned to piracy, they have nothing, they can't grow nothing, they have no people willing to be incorruptible and willing to set things to right.

One of the first things they should due is sue the snot out of all the corporations that had been poring poison on their shores. Go to the world court and get that money out of Dupont and Monsanto.

We have problems in the world that are overwhelming, but when a guy like President Obama comes into office and tries to get moving toward helping to solve some of them and is blocked at ever turn, I can not blame HIM because the Republicans shut down the country. My Country.

11. The occupant of this White House of corruption...

will always be Liar-in-Chief.

I'll say that again and again and again. Really.

[Fantastic Anarchist]

17. We don't even know who used the chemical weapons.

Why isn't Zacharia and the rest of the media investigating this? So, we're taking a known pathological liar's word for it? Even if Assad did use them, which again, was only told to us without proof, why are military strikes our only option?

Our media is doing the same lazy reporting it did during the Iraq war. They never fucking learn.

Trump is now presidential because he bombed an airstrip? Give me a fucking break.

3. I shudder to think what the offspring would be like

[lark]

4. Fareed Zakaria totally sucks.

When the words MSM comes up, I think of him. He just constantly sucks up to power, no matter how heinous their acts. He's one of the worst cheerleaders for war. Even when the strikes have no effect, are advertised to the enemy ahead of time so they can remove all important equipment and personnel, are limited to only 1 airfield, deliberately avoid destroying the chemical weapons, planes or runways, and has the effect of making drumpf richer because they used missiles that he is part owner of. Well, he's a partner in the consortium that sells these to the military. Funny they would choose these and not some other kind of missile, isn't it.

[Fantastic Anarchist]

18. Our media is servile and compliant once again.

Just like the last time, and the time before that ad infinitum.

[KittyWampus]

5. Zakaria suprised me. He's usually worth watching. Maybe it's too hard for some to NOT normalize

the dangerous freak show.

[eleny]

9. Until today I recorded his GPS program

But I was so disgusted after hearing his comment that I gave up on him.

What is it with these people who try so hard to turn a sow's ear into a silk purse that they foul their own reputation.

[Fantastic Anarchist]

20. They're capitalists and globalists.

There's money to be made. They're not going to pass that up.

[Cosmocat]

12. Me, too

He's one of the hood guys.

[Mr. Sparkle]

6. Fareed had a Van Jones moment and probably really regrets it now. n/t

[AntiFascist]

7. It's all about money.,..

in the past CNN has made big bucks when the US went to war.

[rpannier]

14. IT made wolf blitzkreig... blitzer

He was almost nondescript until the first gulf war
Then he was always on
I can't think of a war he doesn't get all giddy and excited about
If there's a snowball fight between eight kids happening, he'll likely be there to provide commentary on the carnage

[Fantastic Anarchist]

21. He'll still ask stupid questions, too.

[rpannier]

22. He'll ask the losing team members

"Do you wanna thank god for surviving the fight? Go ahead."

10. Brian williams mangasm was worse i thought

Not defending Fareed, his gaffe was almost as bad

[rpannier]

15. Williams is pathetic

Waiting for his new book, 'Syria I was There. Oh, The Horror!'
Williams is Kent Brockman

[sharedvalues]

13. Reliable Sources is good for America. Unlike most of CNN

[Cha]

16. Mahalo Scahill!

[dalton99a]

19. No shit.

Disgusting.

23. YES
