CNN Just Keeps On Giving

[Delta0311]

Now apparently even traffic tickets are racist. Must be a slow week at CNN's race baiting department.

CNN works over time to turn everything into a race issue.

Agreed 100%. The truth seems to be an irrelevant factor to most.

Oh and let me guess... FAUX News is your "news source"?

FAUX NEWS is far right.
MSNBC is far left.
CNN is as middle ground as its gonna get.

Just because they draw attention to what is Actually taking place in our great nation, no matter how unsettling it may be.

Three news channels that exist only for the sake of making money. All three are involved in race baiting because there is money in it. CNN just takes it to new levels. US does not have a race problem what we do have is a news reporting problem.

The fact that CNN is considered "the middle" is what's scary.

Guys try newspapers. You get the story and less pictures.

I've watched CNN twice in my life. The first time was a live broadcast of the shitstorm in the middle east we now live with and the second was my fist breakfast in the USA. I'm pretty sure I lost most of my IQ in those two times.

You have to be careful when selecting newspapers as well. Many of them are more biased than the TV networks.

Objective journalism is nearly extinct in this country.

In the USA, yes. In Europe the press actually is pretty much obsessed with after 911 oppression time so they all tend to dig a bit.

I'm truly not saying our press is better, since we all are aware of the business aspects. But here they seem to gather intelligence and they write clips that are meant to be read until the last line.

My city, Tampere, has aamulehti as the main paper. A few months ago they ran a story from history. Sierra Leone, their lovely civil war.

It told the story right. It gave us two former best friends who were without limbs now just because "if you're not fighting for us, we'll make sure you're not fighting against us".

Nice. All the usual were mentioned. Blood diamonds, gun industry, lost lives and how hard it is to reconstruct a country. The main story was that they had a football cup there.

One picture. Men playing football (soccer to you) on crutches and the two guys who were friends, chopped off each others legs, and no going after the ball. The article wasn't meant to make the reader feel good about ignoring Africa, it was written so us in Finland could see that life goes on.

In the current climate, that actually is news.

The US is by far-and-away the least racist country on the planet.

I respectfully will have to disagree with you on this my friend. But there is something even more sinister at work at FOX News:

But much worse, if and when one of these candidates does become the Republican Party’s nominee, the GOP could very well be torn asunder into factions. This could devastate the party for years or even decades to come.

The Republicans, however, have no one to blame but themselves. This is a crisis of their own creation. And it didn’t just happen overnight.

The Republican Party has been fomenting anger and discontent in the base of its own party for years. The mechanism through which this hate has been disseminated has been the network of extremist media of right-wing talk radio and the Fox News Channel, which is essentially talk radio transposed onto television.

Just think of all the right-wing “superstars” who spew messages of anger and hate every single day throughout the land over this enormous megaphone. Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Ann Coulter, Laura Ingraham, Ben Shapiro, Dana Loesch, Bill O’Reilly, Sean Hannity, to name a few.

And make no mistake, spewing hate has a significant impact upon society. It is the equivalent of modern-day propaganda where the population is barraged with a stream of consistent messaging. As ordinary people go about their daily lives, they are exposed repeatedly, day in and day out, to the same messages in numerous forms and by numerous people. Pretty soon, these messages begin to sink in and take effect. The audience begins to adopt a worldview consistent with these messages, regardless of the degree of truth. It is a remarkable phenomenon.

Ironically... They are far more guilty of "race baiting" and outright fear mongering than ANY AMerican News media I have ever read or seen.

Now there's a story I'd be interested in...

Strikes me as odd that Salon would draw such conclusions.

I wonder where they would put Bill Maher, Jon Stewart, Rachel Maddow, Stephen Colbert, Joy Behar, Whoopie Goldberg, Oprah, Ed Schultz, etc.?

The only difference is the size of the audience; left-wing talk radio apparently can't draw much of a crowd. But the "hate speech" is every bit as bad, if not worse. And "fomenting anger within the party?" How much anger have we seen from the democrats, especially in the last 8 years?

Nothing worse than 24/7 news. Remember, they have to have *something*...
