Gordon Barlow

But I think she will get in, Boiler. Her sponsors will see to it! Sigh. And to think the world gave that nice man Hitler such a hard time over his war crimes...

I would not bet against her.

Philk

if we're talking lies then every sentence that comes out of trumps mouth ( not that I think that is where he actually speaks from ) is either a lie or a hyperbolic exagerration
Anyway, you're just a troll so I shouldn't take the bait

This thread is about Clinton New Network.

There is a general thread about the ELection and a specific one about Trump.

I realise it can be confusing.

How the Political Media's Corruption Destroyed America's Most Crucial Institutions | Daily Wire
Extract: Tragically, our national media now sees itself as part of the government, and as a consequence, the media's mission to hold institutions accountable has been dropped entirely in favor of relentless agenda-pushing.

and another: We've lost faith in democracy itself because vote fraud is now acceptable. Our own president openly encourages it. How is this possible? Because Democrats know the media will let them get away with it.
Imagine how much better democracy would be if every accusation of vote fraud was treated like every accusation of racism.

This is why Trump has been doing so well: because the MSM - CNN to the fore - has prostituted itself to the agenda of its sponsors. As Trump himself has said: They aren't journalists any more, they're just propagandists. So his supporters just don't bother listening any more, to what they presume are lies. That's why all the accusations of sexual harassment aren't gaining any traction. How could they possibly gain traction when so many people are reacting by putting their hands over their ears and saying, "La la la la; I'm not listening! Not listening!"

While I know CNN is pro-Clinton I have preferred watching over FOX or MSNBC.

The last few days it seems the commentators are acting more and more as Clinton propagandists. Sometimes they cant contain themselves and jump in in unison with Clinton surrogates.

Saw one who acted all offended when person being interviewed pointed out , politely that commentator was voting for Clinton.

This I believe why some allegations against Trump not taken seriously by some, they just don't trust the MSM.

CNN back in the news for its Fake News! MSM loyalists may not know this, but in Alternative Media organs CNN's initials are now reckoned to stand for "Counterfeit News Network". One way or another, the network may have pushed its luck too far for its credibility to recover, ever.

There was nothing fake in what CNN reported, as has been confirmed by the statement made last night by the Director of National Intelligence.

"What CNN said was, and I quote, "classified documents presented last week to President Obama and President-elect Trump included allegations that Russian operatives claim to have compromising personal and financial information about Mr. Trump, multiple U.S. officials with direct knowledge of the briefings tell CNN."

"The IC has not made any judgment that the information in the document is reliable, and we did not rely upon it in any way for our conclusions," Clapper wrote. "However, part of our obligation is to ensure that policymakers are provided with the fullest possible picture of any matters that might affect national security."

Why "Counterfeit" Gordon?

What Credibility?

Giantaxe

I agree - "Gordon Barlow" has zero credibility.

Nutmegger

In a first, even Faux News has stood up for CNN, saying they did nothing wrong and nothing was fake.

"fake news" is now the term for any news that right-wingers don't like, usually because it is factual and negative about their heroes/policies. It's really weird to seem them flip out when someone simply reports something that Trump said without any spin or opinion, and they decry it as being anti-Trump and fake news.
