Forums - Politics Discussion - CNN Producer: Russia Narrative "mostly bulls--t right now", is manufactured for ratings

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jdP8TiKY8dE

Watch it yourself. (It actually starts around 2:35 or so) In case you didn't, the producer is John Bonifield. I'm thinking that some NDAs will pop up regarding discussion of internal affairs in broadcasting media companies, if they haven't already.

Some choice words:

"It's a business, people are like the media has an ethical phssssss... All the nice cutesy little ethics that used to get talked about in journalism school you're just like, that's adorable. That's adorable. This is a business."

"Just to give you some context, President Trump pulled out of the climate accords and for a day and a half we covered the climate accords. And the CEO of CNN (Jeff Zucker) said in our internal meeting, he said good job everybody covering the climate accords, but we're done with that, let's get back to Russia."

"I just feel like they don't really have it but they want to keep digging. And so I think the President is probably right to say, like, look you are witch hunting me. You have no smoking gun, you have no real proof."

From http://www.veritaslive.com/06-26-2017/americanpravdacnn.html :

James O'Keefe says that there is more (along the lines of videos exposing a lack of ethical standards) to come regarding misleading reporting in mass media:

"To report not on facts, but instead on narratives that yield high ratings, is exactly the definition of fake news," said James O'Keefe. "We said we are going after the media, and there is a lot more to come."

I mean, they did put "Part 1" in the video, lol, they better have made sure to have a follow-up to this!

Any sane man would knew it. I amazed Americans bought this bullshit from there media...



We watched the American news TV stations over here to give us a laugh. Nobody takes them seriously or believes them. Sadly many Americans do.



There wont be many comments on this! The majority of posters on this site were blood thirsty and bashing anyone who had a different opinion of the MSM "facts" about a Russia Collusion! If you dared to say it wasn't true you were raked over the coals and mocked!

All the smart ppl already knew this. CNN is the worst. Sadly most Americans believe their lies. :(



Around the Network

There might not be a direct link but there are one too many that had to step down due to Russian ties such as Paul Manafort and Michael Flynn. I don't even care if there was Russia meddling in the election. We act all innocent yet we've fucked with numerous countries elections. What goes around comes around. Is most of it overblown? I'm sure but you can't say everyone in Trump campaign isn't shady or have questionable ties. Paul Manafort worked for pro Russia in Ukraine.



I don't care if its real or not. I want the hate to continue. I want it to be full on rage. Because Trump is obsessed with it, and that's horrible for anyones mental health. Especially with a position as the President and at his age. If this continues the fat whale will have a heart attack. That or maybe the hate will inspire someone to kill him. How factual it is isn't the point. Trump's loyal cocksuckers wouldn't believe the truth if it bitch-slapped them anyway, nor would he. So him dying is really the only thing that matters. However, the longer it makes him suffer, the better. So if the hate the news is spewing is what it takes to make that come true, then by all means, let the hate flood more than it has

I agree. This filth must be taken out at any cost. Let the approval ratings continue to nose dive. He brought all of this on himself.

If you and others of the left keep thinking/acting in this manner, you'll see a second term of trump again. Keep pushing the bullshit narractive of russia and hate trump at all costs.

There seems to be media that supports basically anything people want to believe. CNN and MSNBC push the anti Trump stuff because it gets ratings. But in the grand scheme, cable news channels have fairly low ratings but get a lot of attention.

While Fox News tends to do exceptionally well given there aren't many right wing voices on television.
