When I was twelve I called out my mom on her Catholic hypocrisy and she told me I was brutally frank to the point of scaring her at times. My dad's oldest sister was my mentor - I'm more like her than anyone in the family. She called out both her brother and my mom with regularity,

(23,295 posts)I've watched a little bit of CNN here and there - Jake Tapper etc. But ever since Dump launched missiles between bites of chocolate cake, I cannot take any one of them. It's embarrassing and they should know better. They are a worthless waste of time.

(27,677 posts)Ive been wondering that for a while, but the question has become more acute recently. CNN keeps bringing on that lying boob, Jeffrey Lord, or the Disney villainesque Kelly Ann Conway. Wolf Blitzer has been promoted above his level of competence, I suspect because of his name he belongs in a Joseph Heller novel. Everyones eyes seem to light up with dollar signs every time Trump says something belligerently stupid, and the whole networks reputation seems to rest on the orgiastic celebration of military violence. Its just plain awful. CNN only survives on a tabloid-like fascination with evil and the fact that its not as much of a propaganda organ for the Republicans as is Fox News. Not quite as bad as Fox News is a hell of an endorsement.
If youve ever felt like cutting CNN some slack, though, you need to read this profile of Jeff Zucker, the president of CNN, and the sick media culture he fosters.
We can blame our own home-grown media organizations, especially CNN, for the elevation of Trump. Forget the Russians Jeff Zucker is the real traitor.
