As if we didn't know they were doing this. CNN is nothing more than a propaganda organ for the Democrat party. There is simply no denying it.

So what? Is that any different than what Foxnews does, you know, the Foxnews you never complain about...

When does FOX news do anything like it?

All the time. CNN denies it and I believe them.

Its unsubstantiated as well. Lets him prove it. Its a he said and they said. Plus Fox is full of fake news.

would he feel the same way if his kid wasn't one of the "survivors"?

Maybe he can explain why it's cool for crazy people to have military grade weapons.

So there appears to be general agreement here that both CNN and FOX are blatantly biased.

I guess the spin will be, "well, yeah, but the OTHER one is even MORE biased".

Great.

We're quick to lower standards for everything else, why not lowering standards for our press too, huh?

Not good for a democracy. As we can see.

HA HA HA HA HA.

Every fucking day.

P.S. CNN denies this and there is no proof to support the accusation.

/----/ As soon as Fox News does something wrong, I'll complain about it.

POLL: What do you expect from the major media?

Poll on what we expect from the media - bias or objectivity.

Yawn, blaming the media.

Hey, here's why we have niche media. Because when we decided that news had to sell corn flakes, it became about marketing and not journalism.

You see, there used to be a time when networks operated their news sections at a loss. Yes, it costs money to keep reporters in foreign countries and pay correspondents. But that doesn't sell the cornflakes.

Paying a high priced news reader to tell your audience what they want to hear sells corn flakes.

Of the three news networks, CNN is actually trying the hardest to do actual journalism. Fox and MSNBC have gone the furthest into "Telling people what they want to hear" journalism.

Then again, I remember when the Discovery Channel and TLC and History used to be about educational stuff, before they became about midgets and lumberjacks and duck-killing rednecks. Gotta sell those corn flakes!

/-----/ " CNN is actually trying the hardest to do actual journalism." I laughed so hard, the coffee I was sipping blew out my nose and all over my keyboard. How is handing a kid a scripted answer constitute real journalism? (Please don't pretend you don't know what I'm talking about.) How many students did they interview to find the ones who support a gun ban? Notice not one kid they interviewed on air disagreed with a gun ban?

But they believe this, as seriously as they believe anything.

That's part of the problem, and it buoys that kind of, uh, journalism.

except it wasn't an answer, it was a question... and the script was so the question came out coherently, not like the ramblings of a teen.

Here's the thing, what was the questions, and was it something we actually want our politicians to answer?

Yeah, buddy, I already explained why "journalism" exists the way it does, and it's mostly because of profiteering.

/----/ Yes, it was a scripted question. But if it was to help him ask it coherently as you claim, why did CNN deny it happened? Why did they reject his original question?

again, you didn't tell me what the question he did ask was...

The Armed Guards question was actually kind of stupid, since the HS had an armed guard, for what little good it did.

All the time. CNN denies it and I believe them.

Bwwaaaaaahhhhhaaahhhaaaa.. And I bet you believe Obama when he said he was going to redistribute the wealth, and you hoped it was to you.. Warren Buffet, Jeff Bezos, and Elon Musk thank you for voting for Obama.....

/-----/ Here's a clue, when I supply a link to support my post, you're supposed to open it and actually read it. Here is the question he wanted to ask: Haab said was planning to ask about school safety, and the possibility of using veterans as armed security guards in schools, but the questions were rejected by CNN.
