    Expose all lies from all politicians, why are you avoiding that? And don’t lie about politicians if you want to remain credible.

    We want to live in a country where billionaire financed media companies aren't censoring the voices of ordinary people on youtube. I have no problem with leftists spitting venom at Trump, I just ignore it. It is really damn hard to ignore them shutting down all the content providers I like. You can have your shills but you have no right to silence the truth tellers.

    You would not be any different from most Americans who only listen to the channel that pleases them in their political opinions.

    I don't.

    But I don't understand why someone can accuse a journalist of lying to the public when he is confessing his love to a President who do the same thing on a daily basis.

    Hypocrisy ?...

    I agree that Trump has none of that.

    Acosta is nothing but a punk.

    Anyone that follows his Twitter feed knows what a propagandist and partisan he really is.

    If that's the case, why are you posting in a thread where you don't care about the issue? That makes no sense - clearly you do care on some level or you wouldn't be posting.

    I guess the producers at CNN were caught by surprise and couldn’t kill the satellite feed fast enough. Look at Baldwin’s disappointment. But they’re not biased.

    Since the majority of them are an echo chamber parroting the same talking point, a person can get their propaganda from any of them. No need to tune into one particular one. With so much competition, ratings get diluted. Besides, few of your generation probably even read a newspaper or watch very much news, instead they stay glued to their phone for all their info. Present company excluded of course. :)

    Acosta works on "behalf of the the Democrats" and for him to try to spin any other way is a total LIE. The guy is a disaster. Hopefully when his network goes bankrupt, no one else will hire him.

    CNN has not reported the news in 30 years and today they are nothing but pundits for the left! Little stooges spouting their "opinion" of truth, which most call spin to fit their personal agenda! Goodbye CNN!

    It amazes me that anyone is watching their channel.

    Apparently, the strategy in creating this thread worked.

    You got to bring some of that Super-boring (Ancient} BS (from the CNN Copypasta File) out of storage.:bored:

    Acosta is entitled to say whatever he wants.

    Just as MORONS like Trump are entitled to say whatever they want.

    I will give credit where credit is due.

    At least this Acosta thing is something that happened recently (and not something that happened 3 years ago being passed off as a "Current" event).

    Carry on.:salute:

    Just as MORONS like Acosta are entitled to recycle the same reply every single time/day/year that they want.

    Is that what he said Walter? Did you gather these "facts" from the same place that told you he didn't participate in the WW1 ceremonies? LOL

    Acosta is correct and people are laid off when the program is not interesting to the viewers, not because he asks Trump the hard questions that Trump doesn't like. Trump almost always picks friendly reporters in his news conferences.

    Hilarious.

    What's even funnier is that there are morons out there who actually believe it.

    Because this is a political discussion forum. Why join a forum if you don't want to discuss anything? LOL

    I apologize, he called them enemy of the people. Unless his statement was one of those alternate facts. LOL

    You seem to act like the public mistrust of the MSM only started after Trump took office. It has been this way for over 3 decades. Trump was not even the first President to call out a major news network. Do you remember Obama saying that the views expressed by Fox was "ultimately destructive" to the U.S.? Or how he snubbed Fox on his talks about Health Care after appearing on all other networks? Or how the Obama Administration claimed that Fox was not a legitimate news network? Or when Obama labeled Fox News as a co-conspirator in the criminal activity of leaking information to the press?

    https://www.factcheck.org/2018/09/obama-fox-news-and-the-free-press/

    Trump is just the first President to openly display is disdain in such a vitriol fashion. He is not 100% correct in his claims, but he is not 100% wrong in his claims, either. Acosta is a partisan hack. He is not about "reporting the news", he is all about "making the news". He gives true journalists (the few that are left) a very bad image.

    I haven’t watched CNN except for Anthony Bordain since the first gulf war. I can’t stand Wolf Blitzer.
