I think the issue is that both Justin and Trump act like jackasses and have done nothing for their country. Also,Trump cares about his country? Really? He's the man who has continued the arms trade with Saudi Arabia, was pushing for the Israeli embassy to move to Jerusalem (and ironically supports their illegal settlements), supported the pipeline and abandoned the Native American people, made Betsy Devos lead our struggling education system, gave massive tax breaks to the rich, has prevented thousands of jobs from being made in the renewable energy industry, has not committed to his goal of pulling out of the middle east, increased the military budget by $500 billion, and decreased the budget of NASA, the environmental department, and others.
What the fuck do you mean he's for the people? Do you truly understand how dangerous he is? Even without the Russia narrative, he's a terrible president and a vile human.
Both are awful, but I honestly think CNN deserves nothing. People don't need Trump's stupidity to realize that they can improve.
I won't lie- I really enjoy CNN Money and Fox Business, but I can't stand their news department. True journalism is dead nowadays. Trump has indirectly damaged so much. Journalism mentions him 24/7, the internet constantly mentions him in a terrible attempt to be funny, he's constantly dragged into conversations for no reason, and overall it's just pathetic. I suppose he enjoys the fame, but always seeing that name everywhere I go drives me nuts.
Unlike Justin Beiber or the Kardashians, I can't run away from Trump. Forget my opinion on him politically, I just wish he wasn't given the 24/7 spotlight. People feel the need to report EVERYTHING. CNN even had an article about him enjoying two scoops of ice cream...I mean, come on... |
Why is he being blamed for bad journalism? The media should stick its head high and always remain fair, but instead, they always look to try to defend their asses, even after leaks like the one that came out last week shows just how shitty journalism is these days. As I said, people like Wolf Blitzer, Rachel Maddow, Brian Williams, Tucker Carlson, and many more all have agendas one way or the other. The fairest person I've ever watched on tv (Tim Russert of meet the press) was the only person who questioned both Kerry and Bush on their membership at Skull and bones, and had probably some of the most bipartisan coverage of the 2000 election (the winner of the electoral college is president, not the popular vote, even though Gore won Florida and Pennsylvania, there is still a narrow but possible path for Bush, and of course, Florida Florida Florida). Yes, he did support Obama in 08, but he was always fair in his analysis, and always asked the tough questions. Its a shame he died - and with his death, fair and reputable journalism on cable and network TV.
So American news coverage hasn't been unfair since 2016, its been like this for years, and it was time someone exposed them for it. I wish we could see a return to fair, non-partisan news coverage, but I just don't see it. Well, at least I can enjoy watching John King reporting elections - you can't really spin that after all.
Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).
