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

You don't have to be pro-Trump to admit that Russia's narrative has been ridiculously dumb.

Not anymore dumb than Hilary's emails. Trump's advisors are loaded with pro-Russian figures, and there is definite evidence they did attempt to influence the election, a full investigation was completely warranted.

Yep. )

For a year I'm reading NYT, CNN, BBC and FOX on twitter. And I must say the news quality is fallen down terribly, it really looks like anti-russian hysteria lately. Every single day it should be some article showing Russia in bad light. I have a feeling that its not connected to anti-trump agenda much, just the general direction of your media. Its sad, honestly.

Honestly its been like that forever. Russia has been painted in a negative light in everything. They're always the bad guys in movies and video games.

We were painted as bad idiots before. Now we are painted as bad superheroes who can elect USA president. I like it more tbh )))



Isn't this how american media has functioned since atleast the 90's? That doesn't mean there isn't a great deal of weight to the Russia story, but ofcourse they focus even more on it because it gives them ratings. Ethics flew out the window a long time ago except for more independent media 🙂.

Trump is a shit heel and is going to try to push "fake news" as an angle for his idiot base to discredit any news he doesn't like. Watch and see, this will become his standard from now on. Anything Trump doesn't like "oh it's fake news".

Never mind he started his whole "political career" on the back of the birth fake story on president Obama, which even he has now disavowed as bullshit.

But sure maybe the new should focus on Trumpcare, which is going to cut 22 million people off medical coverage or his environmental record that's going to destroy most environmental regulations for the benefit of rich corporations.

 

He actually started his political career by destroying Ross Perot party (Reform Party) by announcing he was going to run for them in the late 90s. You gotta destroy the party that kept screwing over Republicans in the Presidential elections.

It's pretty hilarious that they finally got caught out. Trump is winning a lot lately.

 

What has he been winning? Republicans can't even pass shit even controlling the house, senate and president. It's probably a good thing though because most republican ideas are complete shit.

They are gonna pass things. It just takes time. Don't worry, democrats/progressives are gonna cry even more into their pillows at night as the country actually gets better.

Project Veritas has been busted for lying, selectively editing, and misrepresenting the narrative countless times.

Can we stop taking them seriously please?

As you can see within these comments people have a hard time decerning information.  They see something that supports their opinion and throw everything else out.  As you stated it's very clear how the video is edited that it takes particular sound bites or statements then tries to support the opinion and narative of the piece.  This type of videos should always be considered suspect because it's designed to decieve more than show any proof.

I am hoping they pass everything.  When Obama and the democrates passed the ACA, look what happen in the Congress seats.  When the republicans pass this heathcare, it's probably going to be the same.  Personally, I want the Republicans to pass everyone of their agendas so we can trully see how they view the US and what is important to the party.  I think they are doing a great job showing who they care for and who they do not.



Honestly, American journalism isn't any better than any third world country ran by a dictator. CNN and Fox both have no integrity whatsoever.
