Media Collapse is Inevitable, and it's a Good Morning in America! CNN, Part X

This has been sitting in my draft file for a couple of months, so some of this goes back a ways, but, it's history, and history is everything as we're seeing the Pravda media dying on the vine.  The cartoon is from this past week and sums up just about everything anyone needs to know about CNN.  CNN excels in a number of things.  Lies of commission, lies of omission, personal attacks, smears, fear mongering, and censorship. 

CNN, The Most Trusted Name in News, claims they're the guardians of truth, and they will decide what's truth tolerating no dissenting views.  Like this time when James Fishbeck challenged views about federal spending the host threatened to cut off his mic, and free speech on Facebook isn't desirable, claiming there's no one saying there's not enough free speech on Facebook.  Really?  Another CNN lie.

The Most Trusted Name in News has been caught up in a lot of lies, and then have the nerve to say the really big problem is so many millions of people willing believe Trump's lies, none of which they bother to prove.  But they know Biden did not strand the astronauts Musk rescued, unfortunately for them the astronauts think differently.   The also know Joe Biden already fixed the border, and now Trump is just trying to take credit for all of it, and Trump no understanding about economics. 

And when the lies don't work, they resort to fear mongering.  If Trump purges these agencies, the Deep State bureaucrats are threatening to sell state secrets, including the CIA.  Yeah, and they'll end up in prison.  

Jake Tapper, who has been caught up in these lawsuits says,we're about to enter a period of deep fakes.   The Pravda media loves to smear people.  As in this case where a CNN Panel Tries to Smear Dan Bongino as not being qualified to be the number two man at the FBI, yet we've seen amazingly stupid people appointed to powerful positions, including the judiciary, by Joe Biden without a peep from CNN.   Bongino is a public figure and as a result of they can get away saying a lot about public figures.  But Sullivan doesn't apply to private citizens, such as Zachary Young, who they accused of corruption, and destroyed his business.

Jury Was Ready to Send CNN a Message with $100M in Punitive Damages - The jury responsible for the CNN defamation case was prepared to award Zachary Young up to $100 million in punitive damages, one juror told far-left Variety............

Fed-up Judge Savaged CNN Attorney in Network's Disastrous Defamation Case: 'This Isn't Kindergarten'- Along the way to CNN losing a major defamation lawsuit, the attorney representing the network received a blistering rebuke from the Florida judge overseeing the case. Zachary Young, who is a security consultant, sued the network alleging CNN “destroyed his reputation and business” by branding him an “illegal profiteer” who exploited “desperate Afghans” during a Nov. 11, 2021, report by the network’s senior national security correspondent Alex Marquardt on CNN’s “The Lead with Jake Tapper,” Fox News reported.......

  “Your Credibility With Me Is About None”: CNN Trial Goes From Bad to Worse

 5 billion in punitive damages would make CNN start sounding unbiased - I read with great satisfaction that the Florida jury in Zachary Young’s defamation case against CNN awarded him $5 million in compensatory damages before deliberating about punitive damages .........  CNN’s lawyers almost instantly reached an undisclosed settlement with Young, avoiding any colossal punitive damages (which can’t be discharged in bankruptcy court). I was profoundly disappointed........

 

BREAKING: Jury Finds CNN “Committed Defamation Against Navy Vet Zachary Young” Jurors began deliberating after closing arguments were made on Thursday in a defamation lawsuit against CNN. The deliberations continued into Friday after the jury remained undecided late Thursday evening.  ‘The Most Trusted Name In News’ Guilty of Defamation.

Then there's the consequences for all this vile behavior.  Mass Lay-Offs amid tumbling ratings, to the tune of hundreds of employees.  Why? Their lies have caught up to them and viewership is crashing.  They kept catering to left-wing terrorism to appease a dwindling audience, and just can't seem to understand why they lost those viewers. 

CNN’s Acosta: GOP Should Have ‘Flat Out Rejected’ Trump, in an interview with Brad Todd Acosta was on a role saying the Republicans should have "flat out rejected" Trump.  From Kevin McCarthy to Mitch McConnell he asks how could the Republicans left him be the nominee.  And of course we know he was just trying to help the Republicans.  Right?  Well, unlike the chicanery performed by the Democrats, he was chosen by the base.  And it gets better.  

Acosta has always been an obnoxious jerk, and CNN liked it, at least until their ratings started to crash, and then CNN banished TDS-Afflicted Jim Acosta to time-slot ‘Siberia.  So little Jimmy threatened to quit, and it appeared no one cared.  It seems clear, even to little Jimmy, his days at CNN were numbered and he left.  He's gone, Kevin McCarthy's gone, and Mitch McConnell now sits in back of the boat, and is meaningless to the Republican party.  But the man he insisted should have been rejected, Donald Trump, is still there and he "is" the Republican party now.  

But Jimmy, Mitch, and Kevin aren't alone.  And a lot of people will be following them out the door, as CNN is desperate and big names are involved including Wolf Blitzer.  Time is not on CNN's side, and I expect to see it sold are fire sale prices.
