    This is not a good look for CNN at all. Especially for a network in desperate need of viwers.

    https://twitter.com/SteveGuest/status/1222001440337661953

    The media hardly ever hides their contempt for @realDonaldTrump supporters but this clip is featuring CNN’s @donlemon, The New York Times’@WajahatAli, and @TheRickWilson
    is ludicrous. This is one of the most offensive segments I’ve seen in a while.

    It doesn't bother me one way or the other as I don't watch CNN but this is pretty offensive to half of America so we'll see what the backlash is going forward.

    Yeah, because the left is full of enlightenment.

    If Lemon was the unbiased and professional that he claims to be he would have shut this down and apologized. But this is CNN, so that clown will probably become a paid contributor to the network after that stunt.

    The feeling is mutual. Shouldn't Don be more concerned about his ongoing sexual harassment lawsuit, or does the Me Too movement not apply to homos?

    Don't ask me why AT&T would dump money into the CNN money pit, but you can bet they won't left the format continue for long.

    This is the state the democrats have brought this country to. I can guarantee you not a single mainstream news outlet will condemn CNN for their unprofessional actions. They won't even frown upon it because they support actions like this.

    Don Lemon is the same POS that laughed when one of his guests said, in one of the Lemon's segments, that Kanye West is an uneducated negro that doesn't read. His crime for the "deserved" insult was simply that Kanye was a Trump supporter.

    My God, I can't believe I'd forgotten about that... No wonder democrats love to turn their own script around and call Trump supporters the uneducated ones. OOF.

    The backlash on Twitter and in other social media circles is getting pretty hot as this goes viral. The good news is that most MSM is so tainted and so far left that it has lost a significant amount of viewers and is deemed as untrustworthy. I would like to see changes, wholesale changes, at CNN and return them back to their roots: All news, all day.

    CNN takes it's marching orders from the DNC, who rigged the election in 2016 and still lost. lol

    (1) Yes, Trump is getting mocked big time.

    (2) MSM including the networks are doing just fine in total viewers, while Fox's production is unstable in outlook.

    (3) Trump rigged the election in 2016 and very barely won.

    Yeah I was reading through it... All the twitter dems are laughing, but this is exactly what democrats have pushed for, for so long. All they had to do to make their plans complete is get another low grade dirtball elected for 4 years and when it didn't happen, their heads exploded. Imagine the shape America would be in right now if Hillary or "Bend Over" Bernie had won the election, or one of the many coward republicans that were running against Trump.

    Of course we do, because we weren't stupid enough to be sucked into believing the lies of the left.

    I agree that the jokes that Don was laughing at were not funny. Sometimes truth is just too sad and depressing to be funny.

    You do realize Rick Wilson was a DIE HARD Republican. Actually, he still is, since he thinks his party will return from the abyss..

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rick_Wilson_(political_consultant)

    That was a funny line though - A 'U' with a picture of a crane (which Trump probably wouldn't recognize anyway)

    Embrace it... this is the image many (not all) Trump supporters project... Have you ever seen a camera wandering around the grounds before a Trump rally??

    FOX loses the viewer total in the daytime when people are at work, but they blow the cable news programs out of the water in the primetime slots.

    I'm not surprised you still can't accept Trumps landslide victory. It's been nearly 4 years, time to get over it.

    "Not a good look"?:roflol:

    Here is a longer clip.

    The "portion" in question starts at the 3:10 mark:



    Anyway, I wouldn''t consider it to be "offensive" in the least.

    But, I guess "offensive" is in the eye of the beholder (depending on what sort of skewed "narrative", albeit misguided, that they want to push on any given day).

    This happened Saturday, 3 Days ago.

    I wonder what took so long for the Pro-Trump Faux Outrage Machine to decide that this was a "big deal"?

    I would've expected it to be posted Saturday Night.

    Here are some of the parts being deemed "offensive":

    "...Donald Trump couldn't find Ukraine on a map if you had the letter U and a picture of an actual physical crane next to it"

    "'Donald Trump's the smart one — any y'all elitists are dumb!'" Wilson said with a heavy southern accent.

    "'You elitists with your geography and your maps- and your spelling!'" Ali chimed in during the mockery.

    "'Your math and your reading!'" Wilson added. "'All those lines on the map!'"


    Once again, I really don't see anything offensive about it.

    And, also once again, I acknowledge that "offensive" is in the eye of the beholder.

    However, I do find it rather comical that Pro-Trumpers (who usually appear to be Anti-PC and talk about "snowflakes" are taking umbrage over this (in a display of Mock Outrage)).

    Oh well, to each their own.:bored:

    CNN is a loser network. They have a failed ideology. They have no viewers.

    They’re only watched by family and friends, like a middle school basketball game.

    Not all Trump supporters are republicans, never have been, and it was never about republicans. There are a lot of GOP peeps out there who hate Trump. It just doesn't matter because there are also democrats who have walked away from the corrupt DNC and support Trump as well as tons of Independents.

    This is the outcome you get when you put partisan politics aside and vote for what's best for the country instead of voting for the party you belong to.

    Fox is crushing it and has been for a long time. There has been a mass exodus away from CNN and other far left programs. After catching small bits of their programming, I can see why. They are a steaming pile of crap and America knows it. They should just come straight out and endorse ANTIFA, the KKK and the rebirth of the Nazi Party. That is who they align with.

    Our elite corrupt political class and its minions are very detached from the real world.

    "Most Journalists, of course, don't like to think of themselves as *anybody's* advocate, but that's most likely because advocacy of elite interests comes so easily that it scarcely seems like bias at all." Jonathon Cohn, quoted by James Fallows in "Breaking The News," at p. 79. (emphasis Cohn's)

    I just meant for the impeachment trial. MSNBC and CNN both suck in viewership otherwise.

    I know, lol, they align perfectly with antifa, KKK, and Nazis but continue to point their finger at us and say we're the KKK and Nazis. Hell they can't even face the facts that they created the KKK and Jim Crow.

    Does your party still pander to low IQ, uneducated and unskilled illegals and refugees who don't habla? And for the moment I won't mention the people who think they're in the wrong bodies. Anyone who has to stoop to that in order to get voters can probably make a pretty good case for why they're sad and depressed

    The RP/DP elites are thick as thieves and they hate Trump's guts.

    “Politics in modern America has become a lucrative business, an industry that has less to do with policy and a lot more to do with accessing money and favors. … bills and regulations are often introduced not to affect policy change, but as vehicles for shaking down people for … money and favors. Indeed, the motive on both sides often has nothing to do with creating a “correct” policy but instead is often about maximizing profits.” EXTORTION, "How Politicians Extract Your money, Buy Votes, And Line Their Own Pockets, Peter Schweizer, HMO, NY, NY, 2013, p. 4.
