Oh,..."He won't even show his face." <br /><br />Oh, Lance, damn. Dude has literally <b>hundreds</b> of videos on YouTube where he shows his face. You don't see it in ONE, and you extrapolate that to mean he never does. <br /><br />Sad. You can break my balls and present things as if I'm not a real skeptic. Whatever. But you don't have a single grain in your body that leads you to skepticism. You are, at this juncture in your life, a partisan asshat. <br /><br />"Assange has his agenda like everyone else."<br /><br />What's his agenda, then? Y'all don't know. You just want to do what white corporate media tells you, by pushing the lie of Russian hacking, and so Assange is suddenly the bad guy. <br /><br />And anything that shamelessly promotes a government policy is probably fake news.

But if you want to believe Assange and Sargon of Akkad are pure beings, <i>a salud</i>.<br /><br />I will agree that CNN bending over to accommodate every fart that blows out Trump's ass was bullshit. Also Chris Cuomo's bizarre declaration that only certified media are allowed to read Wikileaks. The bogus interview with the cameraman, no idea what they were thinking about there but that was called out immediately by Don Lemon so I will put that in the no harm no foul category. But I watch them regularly and these are atypical and insignificant.<br /><br />Is <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2017/01/12/politics/audience-member-paul-ryan-town-hall-obamacare/" rel="nofollow"><b>this</b></a> fake news?Lance Cockstrongnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23428832.post-48374638283880080752017-01-14T06:03:10.017-05:002017-01-14T06:03:10.017-05:00Reducing arguments to absurdity doesn't make t...Reducing arguments to absurdity doesn't make them any more compelling either. <br /><br />Sargon is at least objective. That in no way means infallibility. It just means objectivity. CNN has for too long done these things in massive amounts which show they are not objective. Political partisans do not have objectivity. I'm sure many are still actually capable of it; it's just that narrative replaces fact when you're partisan, so objectivity becomes antiquated and useless, when the goal is to stay on narrative to effect change. Not sinister, usually; just ends-justify-the-means well-meaning people believing that the narrative is far more important than facts. Very quick example: Rolling Stone lying article about VA campus rape, and the progressive take wasn't "For shame, madam; you lie!" but rather, "Doesn't matter if it's a lie; it highlights rape culture!" Narrative!<br /><br />...<br /><br />Okay, one or two sat feeds cutting out -- coincidence! Oops! But you can find dozens of examples of CNN having these "problems," and only when someone's speaking against Hillary or Obama. The same with their phony interviews. They've also set up in the same parking lot and pretended to have a sat feed from across the country, and I believe CNN was the network that faked getting gassed in the Middle East with a phony backdrop! LOL <br /><br />Van Jones' "apology tour" -- if that's what you inferred from it, I won't break your balls. What I inferred: Because of the backlash from accusing Trump voters (1/2 of America) of racism, they made him go out to show that not all whites are racists. And, believe me, only CNN would draw this level of speculation from me regarding this level of intent. They've earned it! <br /><br />"Until he doesn't." So far, he hasn't. It's been over ten years since I was studying logic, so the exact fallacy fails me at the moment, but I believe it's in the neighborhood of an appeal to possibility; i.e. "If someone can go wrong, it will go wrong." Yes, ANY human can lie*. Does that mean they will? So far, Assange is the ONLY honest player in the whole fiasco. Everybody else has proven lies on their record. And not just some toddler-level fibs, but some Frost Giant whoppers. <br /><br />*My 2nd-year finals essay in Evo-Bio was actually about humans evolving the ability to speak through mistake, and it <i>only</i> being advantageous because communication = the ability to lie = the advantage of getting more resources and more sex. Lying and humanity go hand in hand; it's very much advantageous in an evolutionary context. However, Assange's track record has been spotless. <br /><br />This is like choosing between two restaurants, A and B. A has had, in its past, hundreds of incidents of poisoning its patrons. B, however, has operated for over a decade with a clean bill of health. Lance takes out Mrs. Cuckstrong and baby Cucklettes to go eat one night. And because B recently added something new to the menu Cuckman doesn't like, he's going to insist it's <b>poison</b>, with no evidence, and instead take the Cucklettes and the misses to eat at A. <br /><br />To each their own. Don't forget to tip your waiter! I, however, will be enjoying the clean, safe meals at B. And if I don't like the newest menu items, I'll stick with one of the old favorites.

Van Jones' whitelash comments and apology tour after the fact? Ok fine. CNN is full of shit, Sargon of Akkad is the genuine article. Julian Assange always tells the truth. Until he doesn't.

Perhaps we could say, and why not? that what the Trump team is doing to CNN is wrong. They are not, in fact, BuzzFeed, so using BuzzFeed's behavior as a reason to dismiss them as "fake news" is yet another lie they are using to support their propaganda efforts.<br /> That said, it is not a valid reason to all of the sudden start liking CNN, merely because they are on the receiving end of the same right wing bullshit we liberals have been the focus of since, oh, forever.<br /> It would be an example of the same infinite reprogrammability displayed by the Republican base who will cheerfully contradict what they so fervently held as truth last week if Rush, Sean, or Matt tells them so, up to and including voting for people who want to take their health insurance from them and let them sicken and die.<br /> Lies and insanity are not OK just because they are "our" lies and insanity.<br /><br /> -Doug in Oakland dinthebeasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12941071534250216503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23428832.post-13876236005805410882017-01-13T11:53:40.779-05:002017-01-13T11:53:40.779-05:00"He does a good job of exposing how CNN lies...."He does a good job of exposing how CNN lies."<br /><br /><b>What makes you think he cares?

He does a good job of exposing how CNN lies. And while he only gives a single example for each category, you can then search per said category and find example after example after example of CNN being one of the most dishonest news corporations on the planet. From cutting people off mid-sentence who were speaking anti-Hillary rhetoric and setting up fake interviews with their own cameramen to intentionally pushing news that they know is unverified and even having the audacity to tell people to go there for the facts, CNN's list of lies and deceptions is quite lengthy. <br /><br />Same goes for all mainstream media outlets. But CNN has sunk to new lows since Trump won the Republican nomination.
