CNN’s Russia bullsh*t starts to unravel

This witch hunt coul dgo down as the biggest boost to the GOP cause in history.

Whatever Americans were still left on the fence, are seeing the Democrat party grasping at this straw like it is their last hope, because..it is.
No one wants to be associated with conspiracy ad nauseam.

I have not even heard what the left even THINKS collusion might mean in regard to Trump and the Russiasn, much less proff of any.

give me a theory, a good remote possibility even, and NOTHING but ((crickets))

The birther witch hunt worked great for the right.

So, there's that.

First CNN lost three key staff members after it published, and then pulled, a smear piece on a Trump associate. Then the channel suffered the ignominy of an insider betraying the motives behind its obsession with everything Russian.

This week, America's original rolling news outlet finally received some payback for its obnoxious anti-Russia hysteria. A loathsome, nasty, rotten, sleazy and sordid campaign that has frequently bordered on the racist.

Even better, thanks to the unwitting testimony of a senior producer at the network, we purportedly know the channel’s agenda. Apparently, it’s not political conviction nor the search for truth or anything remotely ethical. No, this has nothing to do with principles, righteousness or the search for the whole story. Instead, it’s about one thing: ratings. Because, in the world of commercial cable news, viewing figures ultimately convert to dollars. Meaning this delirious mania has been about one thing and one thing only: filthy lucre. And lots of it.

On Tuesday, the team at Project Veritas - a right-wing, pro-Donald Trump media observatory - published a sting video showing CNN staffer John Bonifield making a series of admissions. The producer was loose-tongued and evidently miffed at how the network’s president, Jeff Zucker, had canned his pieces to focus on Russia.
Caught unaware

“It’s mostly bullsh*t right now (the notion of Trump-Russia collusion). Like, we don’t have any big giant proof,” Bonifield revealed to the reporter secretly filming him.

Bonifield later explains how wedded CNN has become to its “Red Scare” madness. He describes a meeting in which editors were allegedly instructed by their chief to trade global warming coverage for more Russia derangement.

“The CEO of CNN said in our internal meeting, he said, good job everybody covering the climate accords. But we’re done with it. Let’s get back to Russia." By the way, on Tuesday evening, these tapes were confirmed as legitimate by his employer.

With this is mind, let’s be clear about CNN. We are referring to a network which employs a full-time 'Russia expert' who has, by all accounts, never been to Russia. Not only that, he can't speak the language. But he's brought on air, all the time, pontificating upon a subject he simply doesn't understand, at the expense of bona fide scholars who have devoted years, if not decades, to getting a handle on the issue.

That’s because CNN likes it this way. You see, the channel has no interest in covering Russia fairly. So, having a one-note show pony on hand to trot out the party line is sufficient, despite its ostensible fealty to fairness. Of course, this flies in the face of its published mission statement to “consider a range of varying perspectives and treat controversial subjects, as well as all other subjects, with impartiality.” Because when it comes to this country, there are only two viewpoints permitted. Either Russia is villainous, or Russia is wicked. And forget about hearing from mister in-between - because he's absent from the game.
Brains trust

And this is why someone like the ridiculous Louise Mensch can get a slot on CNN, but countless genuine Russia hands will never grace its studios. It also explains how the aforementioned 'expert,' Michael Weiss, can dupe millions of viewers into believing he has authentic sources in a country he’s seemingly never even visited. One where suspicion of strangers is practically a national sport.

Weiss is employed by the company’s “investigation unit.” His appointment was announced in mid-April by Lex Harris, its then executive editor, who boasted how “Michael will be 100% CNN.” As of now, Harris himself is 0% CNN, because he’s fallen on his sword after the channel’s first calamity of the past week.

On Thursday last, the network’s website posted a story about a supposed investigation into a meeting between a Trump associate and the head of a Russian investment fund. While in normal circumstances, there shouldn't be anything particularly wrong with such an exchange, the toxic atmosphere CNN has helped engender makes many of these encounters taboo.

he piece was an attempted defamation of Anthony Scaramucci, a member of the US president’s transition team. By Friday night, it was pulled. Resignations followed. Those of the withdrawn yarn’s author, Thomas Frank, plus Eric Lichtblau, an assistant managing editor in CNN’s Washington bureau, and Harris.

Nevertheless, it feels like CNN only backtracked this time because a prominent American, with powerful friends, was slighted. Because, on air, the Russia sh*tshow continues. With never-ending vitriol directed at both the country and Trump and plenty of innuendo about ties between the two subjects, for which no actual evidence of collusion exists.

While three of the crew have exited the stage, plenty of other jokers continue to peacock, with their feathers unruffled. The slurs, insinuations, and aspersions are unabated. “Russia, Russia, Russia,” might be the mantra but the only sound editors seem to hear is “ching-ching.” As the coffers continue to runneth over in the present tense. Which is all CNN cares seems to care about, and to hell with the long-term damage to the brand. Which may prove irreversible.

Something confirmed by CNN's press office. Which informed Trump on Tuesday: "CNN just posted it's most-watched second quarter in history. Those are the facts." A wonderful mixture of appalling grammar (it's?) and chutzpah, which also lets the truth slip. Because CNN only cares about one thing. Numbers. And ethics, decency, integrity and the truth can go take a hike.

Not sure what you're even talking about. I never claimed that Trump colluded w/ Russia. But there IS an investigation into Russian involvement in our election that includes some of his campaign staff - all I've said is that we should see what the results of that investigation are, instead of whining constantly about it like you guys do.

lol lol lol

Bingo.

I'm really interested in how the independents are seeing this. The frothing at the mouth anti Trump democrats don't count since their numbers will be steady no matter what the outcome.

I'm sure it will be a huge backlash. Indies just can't get enough of that "I don't care about the issues - I just want to stick it to the media & the elites" kind of vote.

Well, we see how CNN is faring by making an 'issue' out of it.

CNN and pretty much every other media outlet is feeling the results of Trump's constant campaign of "fake news" - something which he does very strategically, which you guys buy into, and which will have ramifications long after his Presidency is finished.

No, they always did put journalism ahead. They just hate you and your party because you are all lying filthy dogs and scoundrels, and so they report that. It's true. It's fact. It's substantive. It's the news. Too bad.
