Ok, so, I'd appreciate if you didn't spread bullshit to try and make that absolute fuckwad you made President look better.
I probably don't need to tell you, but a supervising producer for the CNN medical unit isn't a crazy mastermind behind the entire Russia enquiry.

In fact, a quick Google search showed me this: "CNN stands by our medical producer John Bonifield. Diversity of personal opinion is what makes CNN strong, we welcome it and embrace it".
He can hold whatever opinion he damn pleases, and CNN thinks so too.

I understand that being a Trump supporter you'd have a strong dislike for concepts such as: reading, facts and basic understanding of words and grammar. Journalism must be really confusing for you.
However, I'd invite you to refrain from wasting my time to try and make someone look less incompetent.

You elected an idiot. The whole world knows you've elected an idiot. Now you have to deal with it.
CNN health producers are the least of your worries.

If you read more post, you would know that someone else also said basically the same thing as this health guy. Someone who is a normal big time speaker on CNN.

Also they just fired 3 people for writing an article about one of Trumps guys and Russia, and at least 2 of them were pulitzer prize winners.

This all in the last week.

So say what you will about Trump, but CNN is definately not a network you should be defending right now.

I struggle to find how reading more of this thread wouldn't be a waste of time, at least if your post is at all representative of what I can expect.

First, someone [...] who is a normal big time speaker on CNN, is appearently so famous that he/she isn't mentioned by the OP or by you, right now.
However, I should trust you that it's really bad, because producers/speaker are the one that invent the news. I didn't know that.

Second, you talk about three people that were fired (they resigned, but who cares about context), at least two of which (one, oops) were Pulitzer winner.
Now, ignoring the factual errors in your post about journalistic integrity, you also fail to mention that CNN issued a public apology to Scaramucci (because I know how to Google things, thank you very much) saying it didn't meet their editorial standards. An apology he accepted, saying "they did the right thing".
At this stage nobody but the biggest cretins on the web, so obviously that includes Trump, are even criticizing them for it. 

So, your argument boils down to: CNN publishes fake news, and we know this because they said an article didn't meet their standard and they got rid of the journalists involved. Them admitting their fault publicly and apologizing shows they can't be trusted.  Also someone else that was important did a bad thing.

Now, I don't get my news coverage from CNN, but I see what's going on.
You're trying to use a company operating the way it should, by issuing apologies and by hiring people that don't agree with everything on the channel, to try and defend your incompetent failure of a president from something he isn't capable of handling: criticism in general, questioning on Russia in particular. 
There is a solid basis for criticism of mainstream media, but I won't let mine be co-opted by your quest to look less shit.

P.S. I'm humbled that on a thread which has devolved into Trump propaganda and antisemitism appearently I'm priority number one for you.
