Journalism Drowns In Designer Coffee

A Kiefer, OK police officer went into a Starbucks to pick up five drinks as a show of thanks for 911 dispatchers who were working over the Thanksgiving holiday.  When the officer got his order, he saw the word “Pig” printed on the cups’ labels.

The officer uploaded an image of one of the cups on Facebook prompting a response from the company.  According to ABC affiliate KTUL-TV, the intemperate barista called to apologize saying the stunt was meant as a joke.

When news of the incident reached Starbucks HQ, they fired the employee and issued the following statement:

"This language is offensive to all law enforcement and is not representative of the deep appreciation we have for police officers who work tirelessly to keep our communities safe."

Early this morning the laughingstock of all laughingstocks tweeted a link to an entire article on their website shilling for the coffee company.

The new drink is Irish Cream Cold Brew, which is Starbucks' cold brew coffee mixed with Irish Cream syrup and topped with vanilla sweet cream cold foam and cocoa powder. It goes on sale Tuesday across US stores and will be available for a limited time. https://t.co/52icZwDrcR

I sincerely hope Princess Acosta doesn’t mind my using his likeness for the new and improved ad for Starbucks’ new designer drink.  After all, didn’t “Dear Diary Guy” emphatically declare to President Trump that CNN is real news?  Why yes, I think he did. 

CNN Went From Fake News To NORK Propaganda Outlet

On Saturday, CNN published an article with the headline “Kim Jong Un's Sister Is Stealing The Show At The Winter Olympics” after she went viral on social media for her side-eye glances at Vice President Mike Pence when they were seated near each other in Gangneung Stadium.

The first line reads, “If 'diplomatic dance' were an event at the Winter Olympics, Kim Jong Un's younger sister would be favored to win gold. With a smile, a handshake and a warm message in South Korea's presidential guest book, Kim Yo Jong has struck a chord with the public just one day into the Pyeongchang Games.”

There is no situation in which North Korea’s murderous regime should be admired.

CNN: Covering Up For Ben Rhodes Is Exhausting

This screencap shows how CNN initially reported the protests in Iran and later was forced to change it.

Throughout the day on Friday, reports from a host of sources were reporting on protests that were taking place in Iran.

At 6:31 AM this morning, someone I follow on Twitter noted, “Here’s how it’s being covered.”

Sohrab Ahmari, Senior Writer at Commentary Magazine, had been following the protests from the moment they broke out.

Tens of thousands of Iranians took to the streets to register their anger, not at Trump or the House of Saud, but at the mullahs and their security apparatus. https://t.co/oVIq2fQozs

— Sohrab Ahmari (@SohrabAhmari) December 30, 2017

This week, tens of thousands of Iranians took to the streets to register their anger, not at Donald Trump [emphasis mine] or the House of Saud, but at the mullahs and their security apparatus. It was economic grievances that initially ignited the protests in the northeastern city of Mashhad. But soon the uprising grew and spread to at least 18 cities nationwide. And the slogans shifted from joblessness and corruption to opposition to the Islamic Republic in toto.  These included:

“Death to [Supreme Leader Ali] Khamenei!”

“Death to Hezbollah!”

“Not Gaza, Not Lebanon, Our Life Only for Iran!”

“We Will Die to Get Our Iran Back!”

“Clerics Out of Our Country!”

The outcome of the protests is hard to predict. So far, the movement is leaderless and appears to lack serious organization. The protesters face a regime that spends much of its energy and resources on ensuring its own survival and won’t hesitate to crack down viciously, as it did in 1999 and 2009. But whatever comes next, Iranians have already shattered one liberal myth: namely, that Donald Trump has revived the regime’s popularity at home.

— Stephen Miller (@redsteeze) December 30, 2017

Who cares about a bunch of Iranians?

The last widespread and sustained protests in Iran occurred in 2009, after fraudulent elections.  At the time, President Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton shamefully sat on their hands, saying and doing nothing to support the protesters. They later justified their silence by claiming that protesters wouldn’t want U.S. support, which would enable the Iranian regime to paint the protests as a foreign plot.

Tens of thousands of Iranians defied a ban to take to the streets to protest the declaring of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as the winner of the election over the more moderate Mir Hosein Mousavi.

Neda Agha-Soltan was an unlikely viral icon. On June 20, 2009, the 26-year-old stepped out of her car on a Tehran street near where Iranians were massing in protest of what was seen as the farcical re-election of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. The Islamic Republic was experiencing its worst unrest since the 1979 revolution.

The state made it illegal to join the demonstrations and barred most foreign media, which meant the burden of bearing witness to the tyranny of the mullahs was largely left to the citizens who waded in, cell phones in hand.

It was around 6:30 p.m. when Agha-Soltan was struck in the chest by a single bullet, said to originate from a pro-government sniper, though no one was ever charged. Men struggled to save her as others focused their cameras on the unfolding tragedy. One frame from the footage freezes her final gaze as streaks of deep red formed a web on her face. The image, among the earliest and easily the most significant to ever go viral, commanded the world’s attention. Within hours, footage uploaded anonymously to YouTube had been viewed by the President of the United States—proof that our new digital age could not only connect people; it could pry open even the staunchest of regimes. 

A few weeks ago, Iran’s foreign minister and the Ben Rhodes echo chamber began pushing the line that Trump’s threats to walk away from the nuke deal had united the people behind their regime.

The Iran Nuclear Deal and Obama Administration foreign policies in general dropped a chaos bomb on the Sunni powers, wrecking many of Israel's enemies. Now his nuclear deal appears to have thrown the apple of discord into Iran. These actions may be unintentional.  But deliberate or accidental, they are consequential.

.@POTUS says "world is watching," but where is Europe? #Iranprotests in 3rd day, spread to Tehran, regime starts cracking down, but utter silence so far from #EU. What can possibly explain this hesitation to back peaceful Iranians who want to throw off this theocracy? https://t.co/q3gTN779S9

Fox Does A Disservice To Its Viewers

Brian Stelter, CNN’s host of Reliable Sources, decided he would dispute the findings in the Rasmussen Daily Presidential Tracking Poll.

The poll shows that 45% of likely U.S. voters approve of President Trump’s job performance; 53% disapprove.  According to the poll for December 29, 2017 the President has virtually the same job approval ratings that The World’s Most Dangerous Community Organizer earned at the end of his first year as president.  On that date, 46% of voters approved and 53% disapproved.  

When President Trump tweeted about the polling this morning he noted, “While the Fake News loves to talk about my so-called low approval rating, @foxandfriends just showed that my rating on Dec. 28, 2017 was approximately the same as President Obama on Dec. 28, 2009 which was 47%...and this despite massive negative Trump coverage & Russia hoax!”

Lumpy “The Hairless Hall Monitor” Stelter fired back at Trump directly with:

This is a prime example of how “Fox & Friends” does a disservice to viewers: https://t.co/ErJBOTAHbo

— Brian Stelter (@brianstelter) December 29, 2017

For context the President’s tweet came at 7:46 AM.  Stelter responded to the President’s tweet at 8:25 AM.  Then Jennifer Agiesta, CNN’s Polling Director, hastily published a response online at 11:27 AM.

“President Donald Trump claimed Friday that his approval ratings at this point in his presidency rival those of Barack Obama, citing a report from ‘Fox & Friends.’  But the truth, across almost every reputable poll, is that Trump's approval ratings have lagged behind those of nearly all of his predecessors, including Obama, since day one of his presidency.”

Agiesta assailed Rasmussen’s methodology arguing, “They claim to interview likely voters, without specifying in what election those people are likely to cast ballots, nor how they are identified. Polls conducted this way do not meet CNN's standards for reporting, because they can under-represent certain segments of the population.”

She continues, “Rasmussen's polling received a C+ rating in FiveThirtyEight's most recent pollster rankings, and it has been found to lean toward the GOP when compared with other pollsters, which means it typically understated support for Obama and has a tendency to overstate support for Trump when compared with other polls.”

On June 16, 2015, Nate Silver of FiveThirtyEight infamy said, “Trump has a better chance of caneoing in another “Home Alone” movie with Macaulay Culkin—or playing in the NBA Finals—than winning the Republican nomination.”

On August 11, 2015 Silver said, “Our emphatic prediction is simply that Trump will not win the nomination. It’s not even clear that he’s trying to do so.”

Then came this pip on November 23, 2015. “So, could Trump win?  Nobody remotely like Trump has won a major-party nomination in the modern era.  For my money, that adds up to Trump’s chances being higher than 0 but (considerably) less than 20 percent. Your mileage may vary.”

Hillary Clinton has an 81% chance of winning the election to Donald Trump’s 19%, polling analyst Nate Silver said on July 29, 2016 in his first model of the 2016 presidential election.  Silver got it wrong.  His methodology is as rigorous as that of a strip mall physician in The Simpsons.

Perhaps Stelter and the crew at the Most Busted Name In News should stick to hourly box truck updates and how many Diet Cokes® the President consumes. 

Proof CNN Has Gone Over To The Dark Side

Reliability matters.  CNN’s viewership dropped by 15 percent according to the 2017 Nielsen ratings for primetime cable news networks.

CNN’s ratings plunge to the bottom of the barrel has staff wandering the hallways sobbing uncontrollably.

CNN Christmas Songs

Recently CNN had what they thought was a bombshell story of Russian collusion that blew up in their face and just yesterday claimed a “thief” sent a tweet from Anderson Cooper’s account when his assistant left his phone unattended in a gym locker.

For nearly a year now, we've seen a pattern of headline-grabbing stories about Russian "meddling" and Trump "collusion" that ends up fizzling out when the facts come in.

The longer President Trump is in office the more egregious CNN’s journalistic malpractice becomes.  Their claims they are being attacked as fake news is falling on deaf ears.

On Tuesday, December 12th, someone started the hashtag #CNNChristmasSongs on Twitter.  I thought some of them were pretty clever.

Dear CNN, Your Bananas Are Showing

In October CNN released an ad intended to battle claims the cable news outfit was fake news and to stem the tide of “CNN Is Fake News” memes.

New CNN ad. pic.twitter.com/GMrkQKojcZ

The ad copy should read:

“This is a banana.  CNN might try to tell you that it’s an apple.  They might scream apple, apple, apple over and over and over again.  They might put APPLE in all caps.  You might even start to believe that this is an apple.  But it’s not.  This is a banana.”

FACTS FIRST

Yesterday, CNN advanced a story claiming to show collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia; a talking point they have hung onto for dear life since last year.

Reporters Manu Raj and Jeremy Herb insinuated that Donald Trump, Jr. was given advanced notice on September 4, 2016 about hacked documents before they were made public by WikiLeaks.  Raj and Herb claimed to have spoken to two sources who “confirmed the date”.

In a nutshell, one of the sources was a mysterious “Mike Eckerson” who no one has been able to identify or confirm as a real person.  CBS followed up on the story and made the very same claim.  The problem for CNN is the emails at the heart of this fake news story were discussed in the House Intelligence Committee two days earlier.  The Washington Post, of all places, called out the piece as completely false.  The folks at the Post had actually seen the email for themselves and verified it was, in fact, sent on September 14.  The files were already in the public domain and being widely discussed online.

The story turned out to be completely meaningless.

Mean Tweets: CNN’s Wolf Blitzer Edition

Following the aftermath of Thursday’s terror attack, CNN’s Wolf Bullshitter Blitzer said there will be questions about whether “if what happened in Barcelona was at all a copycat version of what happened in Charlottesville,” after it was reported that a large van ran into pedestrians leaving several dead and many injured.  “Even though there may be different characters, different political ambitions. They used the same killing device, a vehicle going at high speed into a group, a large group of pedestrians.”

Did CNN forget the six attacks involving vehicles plowing through pedestrians in Europe over the past year?  Of course not.  It was just another good, strong whiff of hospital-tested, clinically-proven bullshit.

Another Magnificent Bastard

Ever since November 9, 2016 we have been inundated with a media clinging to the Russian collusion theory that goes way beyond the bounds of rationality.  It must be true, even if it isn't.  This week they think they’ve found the smoking gun in Donald Trump, Jr.  Next week it will be something else.  None of it, in the final analysis, has anything to do with actual collusion.

Enter Rep. Dave Brat (R-VA).  Brat stunned House Majority Leader Eric Cantor in 2014 in the Republican primary going on to win a seat in Congress.

On Friday, Brat was being interviewed by CNN’s justice correspondent Pamela Brown.  Her first question to Brat, “Nancy Pelosi just said that Republicans are enablers.”

Noting Democrats want to impeach the President without any evidence of criminal wrongdoing Brat said, “What you gotta do is just name the statute that’s been violated.  Democrats are upset that Trump won the election and so they’ve been saying ‘impeach, impeach’ since day one.  My Senators from Virginia are getting apoplectic,” Brat argued. “Mark Warner’s seeing smoke everywhere he goes like he’s in a Cheech and Chong movie and [Tim] Kaine now thinks the son is worse than Benedict Arnold.”

“There’s collusion everywhere but the question is whether a statue has been violated,” Brat declared.  “There’s collusion between CNN and the DCCC and the Washington Post and I don’t complain about that–it’s not illegal.  I think it’s unethical but it’s not illegal.”

President Trump VS Fake News CNN Meme Contest Continued

Hey CNN, We’re Flooding The Internet With Memes About You

CNN may have had the worst week in Washington according to Peter Hasson, Associate Editor, at The Daily Caller.

The network’s rough week started on Sunday when President Trump jumpstarted one helluva hullabaloo by tweeting a short video showing him body-slamming the CNN logo. The tweet was met with widespread condemnation in the media and the video was shown over and over again on national television.  Hee. Hee.

CNN’s Mission Statement

AT&T will look to “neutralize” CNN President Jeff Zucker after it buys Time Warner, The New York Post has learned.

CNN is being slammed for highly publicized stumbles which have made the cable news network too polarizing for executives at the blue chip corporation AT&T according to sources with knowledge of the pending merger.

The network is staggering after a brutal stretch that has seen two hosts taken off-air, one story retracted and another rewritten, accusations of staged Muslim anti-ISIS protests, the resignations of three key employees, a debunked story that ex-FBI Director James Comey would refute President Trump’s claim he was not under investigation.  He confirmed Trump’s claim and most recently, an ongoing series of undercover videos meant to portray CNN as misleading the public about the Trump-Russia stories that have dominated media coverage of President Trump and his administration.

CNN Shoots Itself In Foot Again

The New Yorker’s satirical Borowitz Report, the liberal-leaning reshuffling of the news by Andy Borowitz described the bastion of fake news this way in October 2015:

The strong ratings for Tuesday's Democratic Presidential debate have surprised CNN executives, who are now tentatively considering introducing substance into their programming. 

After reviewing the numbers for the debate, however, Zucker decided to launch a pilot program at CNN called Project Substance, which will introduce information and "substance-based content" into the network's programming, on a limited basis. 

"Just to be clear, we're not suddenly going to flood our programming with substance," Zucker said. "We know that would be jarring for our viewers." 

By implementing a "dash of substance here and there," the network will be able to gauge whether viewers' interest in substance is for real, "or just a passing fad," Zucker said. 

"If, at the end of the day, viewers aren't interested in serious news, we'll just go back to what we've been doing," he said.

Last Friday evening CNN fully retracted and completely scrubbed a bogus story which cited an unnamed source claiming the Senate Intelligence Committee was investigating a “$10-billion Russian investment fund whose chief executive met with a member of President Donald Trump’s transition team four days before Trump’s inauguration.”

The transition team member was Anthony Scaramucci, and he “supposedly” discussed lifting sanctions with investment fund chief executive Kirill Dmitriev. Except, the ties were strung together by CNN with absolutely no proof and despite a firm denial from the Russian investment firm spokesman.

“CNN.com published a story connecting Anthony Scaramucci with investigations into the Russian Direct Investment Fund,” CNN wrote in the editor’s note after the retraction. “That story did not meet CNN’s editorial standards and has been retracted. Links to the story have been disabled. CNN apologizes to Mr. Scaramucci.”

Anonymous sources described the incident as a “massive, massive fuck up and people will be disciplined.”

In an effort to stop the bleeding caused by growing public skepticism about its integrity and not have the “fake news” label stick, stories involving Trump/Russia now require the approval of senior executives before publication.

Let’s Take A Moment To Point And Laugh At CNN (Again)

CNN was compelled to correct a spectacularly false Tuesday report after the release of ex-FBI Director James Comey's opening statement for his Thursday testimony in front of the Senate Intelligence Committee contradicted the reports' “sources”.

The CNN report said Comey was expected to dispute President Trump's claims that Comey said he was not under investigation on multiple occasions.

The report titled “Comey expected to refute Trump" was based on unnamed sources and said Comey's conversations with the president "were much more nuanced," and Trump drew the wrong conclusion. 

The story was compiled by four CNN idiots, including Gloria Borger, Eric Lichtblau, Jake Tapper and Brian Rokus. 

Borger, the network’s Chief Political Analyst, claimed in an appearance on CNN Tuesday, “Comey is going to dispute the president on this point if he’s asked about it by senators, and we have to assume that he will be.  He will say he never assured Donald Trump that he was not under investigation, that that would have been improper for him to do so.”

Here’s the problem—his statement did mention the president was not under investigation.  In fact, he mentions it three, yes, three times.

Unnamed sources say the darndest things.

Did CNN choreograph a protest? The camera setup is not consistent with a live news broadcast since there are multiple halide lamps and a stage monitor.  Just look at the number of stage hands and assistants.  The video even shows a table with food.

The website Mediaite seems to be defending the cable news network noting “there is reason to fairly critique this as editorializing the shoot and not just reporting the news.  And in a climate where CNN is feeling a lot of criticism—most of which is unfounded—from the conservative corners of the Internet, this footage won’t help their cause.”

Mediaite “reached out” to CNN for an explanation.  Here’s their statement:

“This story is nonsense. The group of demonstrators that was at the police cordon was being allowed through by officers so they could show their signs to the gathered media. The CNN crew along with other media present simply filmed them doing so.”

Then why were these “protesters” picking up signs from the pavement and being directed where to stand?  I’m throwing the bullshit flag.

CNN: Two-Thirds Of Its Own Viewers DO NOT Trust The Network

Voters still remain dubious of much of the political news they are getting.  According to a Rasmussen Reports Poll published on January 4, 2017 of viewers who watch Fox News most often, 50% say they trust the political news they are getting. That compares to 43% of MSNBC viewers and just 33% who tune in mostly to CNN.  That means two-thirds of CNN’s own viewers do not trust “the most trusted name in news.”

CNN’s share of viewers will likely see a downward slide into oblivion when the next poll is taken; after all they led the charge on fake news with the phony Russian dossier filled with wild and salacious falsehoods about Donald Trump.

Let’s not forget about Don Lemon defending four black racists who kidnapped and tortured a mentally disabled man while live streaming it on Facebook or frequent guest Marc Lamont Hill who called for rioting in Baltimore and called African-Americans willing to serve in the Trump Administration as “mediocre negroes.”

So CNN Money headlined a story on their website, “Why A Defiant Girl Is Staring Down The Wall Street Bull.”  State Street Global Advisers installed a bronze statue called “Fearless Girl” in front of the famed “Charging Bull” statue a day before International Women’s Day to “bring attention to an initiative to get more women on their clients’ corporate boards”.  Beneath the girl’s feet is a plaque which reads:  Know the power of women in leadership.  She makes a difference.

Anxious to show Feminazis the cable network has their back, they re-promoted the days-old piece with a tweet implying it had some sort of feminist significance:
