CNN: Inflammatory And Misleading Effort To Distract Viewers From Clinton Discrepancies During Testimony

Filed under: General — Dana @ 10:59 am



[guest post by Dana]

It wasn’t as if Hillary Clinton needed the support of the MSM during her testimony before Congress on Thursday. She knew it would come afterward. And it did. Boy, did it ever.

But CNN, whose lofty vision includes deliver[ing] accurate information to viewers with speed so that they are well informed at all times, just couldn’t help themselves as they broadcast this inflammatory and misleading chyron:

You can read about how the Israeli children on a school bus narrowly missed being killed by two Palestinian terrorists here.

  1. Hello.

  2. It is almost like they are working as spokesnozzles for the terrorist Palis.

  3. Both stories are related, Dana. I need an expression for “meme warfare”. Low information voters and politically exhausted people are very susceptible.

    It’s why I don’t like personal stocks and rude nicknames for politicians. They stick.

    Most people are lazy, and want to associate themselves with the “wise meme.”

  4. I’ll bet THAT school bus was NOT a GUN FREE zone!

  5. Yes, the stories are related, Simon Jester. I think it’s a fool who believes CNN was guilty only of sloppy editing. It was a golden opportunity to kill two birds with one stone in a single moment.

  6. And yet the right bickers.

  7. Dana – an audition clip to be the next Pali press secretary?

  8. Baghdad Bob’s new gig with CNN off to rocky start.

  9. According to this, CNN cleaned up the misleading headline. Compare and contrast:

    Original –

    Palestinians shot boarding kids’ bus.

    Revised –

    Armed Palestinians shot after trying to board bus with children on board.

    What a difference “armed” makes…

  13. CNN instinctually covers for terrorists, nothing new there.

  14. We all know the media has evolved into nothing more than lying leftists. Which is why they do not deserve to have their first amendment rights protected by those of us with the second amendment when they refuse to defend ours.

  15. Nk or Simon – Columbia River Knife and Tool – good folding tactical knives?

    JD (34f761)

  16. Yes, definitely, JD.

    nk (dbc370)

  17. JD, nk likes long an elegant knives. I guess I am much more fond of the the shorter, slashier kind of knives.

    SOG and SpyderCo are my favorites.

    From your vendor, this is pretty sweet:

    To each their own, and Lord knows nk knows knives better than I do.

    I used to have throwing knives in high school, and a target. It was a good stress reliever. What would folks say today?

    Right now, I kinda don’t care.

    Bad people can easily have such a dishonest streak they’ll happily lie to anyone and everyone without a care in the world (eg, Hillary Clinton, etc). Shamelessness seems to be a closely related quality to that badness, and a larger cross section of the left compared with the right seems to display that particular trait.

    Yea, there are dishonest conservatives who are no less shameless than characters like Barack or Hillary. But the pattern of minuscule sheepishness or embarrassment about one’s mendacity and even criminality has a knack for coalescing around the left way more than the right. That’s probably a major reason some of the most crime-plagued communities in the US, much less the world, have socio-political patterns where scroungy liberals like Hillary are given wide latitude and endless forgiveness by much of the corresponding populace.

    Anything wrong with this? Seems pretty versatile

  21. The ergonomics are individual. If it fits your hand, and your pocket, and suits your purposes. I like the handle shape. The materials are definitely top of the line which is the reason for the high price, and the workmanship seems to match. I wouldn’t use it for whittling or peeling an apple but I could see field-dressing a deer with it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytH5Tyb6TXI

    The left admires it.
