    Rev. Graham: Who Tried to Influence Election? Start With CNN, CBS, ABC, NBC, MSNBC, Soros, Hollywood

    By Michael W. Chapman
    April 7, 2017

    Rev. Franklin Graham (BGEA)

    Although left-wing activists and the liberal media are trying to blame Russia or Wikileaks or the FBI for Donald Trump's presidential election win back in November, Christian leader Franklin Graham said the culprits who truly tried to influence the 2016 race included "CNN, CBS, ABC News, NBC, MSNBC, CNBC, Fox News, The New York Times, Washington Post, George Soros [and] Hollywood."

    In an April 4 post on Facebook, reverend Graham said, "Get over it! The election was 5 months ago and some just won’t let it go. At first the media blamed WikiLeaks, then they blamed FBI Director Comey, then they blamed the Russians -- even though all the intelligence services have said the Russians didn’t affect the outcome of the election."

    "If you really want to look at those who tried to influence the election, you need to start with CNN, CBS, ABC News, NBC, MSNBC, CNBC, Fox News, The New York Times, Washington Post, George Soros, Hollywood -- they all tried to influence the outcome of the election, one way or the other," said Rev. Graham.

    "It’s time to move on," he said. "Get over it."

    The named news sources threw everything they had to down Trump and get Hillary elected. One would be amazed at how many foreign investors are involved with all of our media... That should be the real target, the corruption of the media makes any part Russia could have played seem like child's play.
    How many of those same media sources are influenced by foreign dollars? Isn't that more of a concern than Russia leaking real e-mails? We know that Soros has funded many organizations for years.
    Those of us, who pay attention to politics, (not just around election time), have long memories, and have seen where the true sedition comes from and it's been the FMSM. When the Progressive Marxist Left took over the media and turned politics 'Hollywood' that was when many were forced to resort to true sources of news however biased. Of course some was, but for the most part- it was FMSM. This coalition of media and Hollywood was created to 'Tell Us' what was in our 'Best Interest' and that led us to find other sources of info. Like all things American many bottom feeders then showed up to fill that gap.
    For the most part, we able to take ALL news with a few grains of salt and we're certainly capable of doing it after the politicization of the only form of news any of us has ever known. Only idiots fall for Russian hack stories. It's easy to fool someone who has not known what occurred in the past. This set of readers, however, most certainly are not part of that group.
    Reverend Graham is correct in his evaluation.

    Hello. Those are American Citizens you have listed. And American Citizens are guaranteed the right to try and influence our own elections. Foreign governments? Not so much.
    This is a failed thread.

    Hmm...., the only name that I mentioned is George Soros. While each of the organizations I mentioned are staffed by American citizens are you telling me that the Clinton News Network, or MSNBC have been non biased in the reporting? The Fourth Estate is to be objective and neutral in reporting and we as a nation have seen only biased and subjective reporting, while Hollywood would rather support Raoul Castro, Nicolás Maduro, ISIS and the Iranian Ayatollahs rather than a Republican.

    Don't care about your paranoia - the American Citizens in these organizations have every right to be involved in American elections.

    Most of what you are talking about isn't actually "news" in the traditional sense - they are OP ED and entertainment networks with the occasional news thrown in. I think this is where you get confused - you think that the OP ED segments of 24 hr mews broadcasts are meant to be actual old fashioned "news". It's not their fault that you're confused. Hannity is not News - it's OP ED. Got it.

    Lol you don't want objective. Objective reporting WAS, and IS, to call Trump a bold faced liar, an ignorant, uninformed, crass, epically unqualified boob.

    You don't want objective, you want lies. Why do you think the right decided to create their own media bubble decades ago? To convince people like you that these lies are the truth.

    Many foreign government's tried to influence the 2016 election as most of them hated Trump, but how many would be complaining about it like the Democrat's have been screaming about the Russians as if it were 1950 with McCarthy?

    People don't have an issue with American citizens trying to influencing our election, it's the fact a number of those news outlet's showed so much bias against Trump while cheering Hillary on no matter what. I don't see how this is a failed thread as unless you can point to a law that says it's illegal for a foreign government to express it's views on an election I don't think the Democrat's have a leg to stand on.

    Though I do think it's quite interesting that Obama thought getting the CIA to influence the elections in France back in 2012 a great idea so please tell me more about how unjust the Russian's are.

    Regardless of who is or is not "in the tank" , news organizations have ALWAYS "tried to influence elections". That is the normal practice.

    What ISN'T normal is having foreign governments do that. In fact we have campaign laws that prohibit taking money from foreign entities for campaigning.

    What you have done in excusing foreign intervention in our election process is admit that it's happening and admit that you support that

    It was your side, with conservative SC picks, who decided that "money is free speech". Now you are crying about it?

    This thread is absolutely true. The radical left so called media pushed so hard to get the crooked serial liar Hillary elected.

    The good news is that their biggest lie-------Hillary will win in a landslide-----------served to help get Trump elected.

    You know what's funny about this? What's really funny is that while you think this is somehow an insult to the 98% of the globe who laughed at the thought of Donald Trump as president, the truth is we all thought that because we were actually giving republican voters credit for not being THAT incomprehensibly stupid.

    Indeed, were wrong.

    Lol, and you STILL don't get it.

    It's not an insult to you or your pals. It's reality and shows how totally ignorant and arrogant y'all are.

    The look of surprised faces and the cries and tears of anguish on the part of the FMSM was laughable and what has followed is indicative of the Progressive Marxist Left.

    However, it's your side that weaponized gov't agencies against the people. Evelyn Farkas spilled those beans recently in ObamaGate

    What has that got to do with my response to your original post?

    Care to answer as to how money in media and donor hands affects politics, because of the GOP "money is free speech" mantra? Make no mistake, many of the for-profit media outlets you mentioned aren't against Trump or pro Dem, they are pro-money first. If they could make money getting on the Trump wagon, they'd do it in a heartbeat.

    Anyone over the age of 5 knows that news outlets and papers have been recommending candidates for decades - this is nothing new. Fox news is mainstream entertainment and OP ED like CNN, and it has been recommending Republican candidates for years.

    But ...

    Republicans have demonized Colleges and Universities.
    Republicans have demonized teachers.
    Republicans have demonized the Environment.
    Republicans have demonized scientists.

    It's not really surprising that they would do the same to News Outlets - it a pattern that works for them.

    Franklin Graham's opinions mean nothing.

    He is just another insignificant recipient of nepotism based on his father's reputation.

    Where would Franklin Graham be if he didn't have his father's coattails to ride on (while he milked the misguided Holy Roller ("I gotta donate to Billy") gravy train)?

    Franklin Graham is just a charlatan carny riding his senile father's coattails.

    Franklin Graham's opinions are insignificant and nobody takes him seriously.
