Diabetic retinopathy and poor eyesight. Typos ...
Things that bother me about CNN.
They do take a quten of of context at times and build it into a continuing story, they have to fill the day.
Anchors are full of themselves and self promotion. I listened to an anchor promote his book and urge listeners to buy it.
Anchors practice selective morality. The endless stream of crocodile tears and concern for the border kids became sickening. Pure ratings opportunism. Self righteous moral authorities for the masses.
The praced gravitas of Blitzer becomes laughable. I watched him cover some trival story as if it were the end of the world. CNN is part showmanship.
The anchos think they are Mark Twain moral pundits and stand up comedians. Laughing as if serious events are no matter. More self promotion and self indulgence.
CNN does have a tendency to twist commentary with a bias.
That being said out of CNN, FOX, and MSNBC CNN does a good job of presenting and interpreting events. FOX obviously is propaganda. MSNBC is not as bad as FOX but is biased, When Shrpton was hired he said he would never be critical of Obama.
The good pundits are very knowledgeable on global history, major players, who did what when in our history and so on. They can speak of the top of their heads on complex issues. CNN does a good job of having multiple views represented, even Trump shills.
Despite any failings right now CNN is a major part of the firewall preventing Trump from assuming an authoritarian rule. They are under an existential attack. Trump would destroy CNN if he could out of his mental instability and his childish need to dominate and intolerance of criticism. We can consider CNN the canary in the mine. If it is depressed we are in trouble.
When Obama moved to exclude FOX from the WH on the claim they were not real news CNN and others objected. Something for FOX to consider. Yes, Obama was initially anti media and developed a govt web site to get around the press.
