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:

You wanna talk impressive—the Mona Lisa has been smiling for 513 years despite her continuing presence in France and the four presidents carved into Mount Rushmore have remained vigilant for 90 years despite periods of brutal cold and sweltering heat.

The Proverbial Toilet: This Is CNN?

Call it a case of “the most trusted name in news” countenancing the vulgar presence of “of the most tasteless slut in show business,” wrote Howard Portnoy at the Examiner.

Hyping their coverage of Times Square revelers ringing in the New Year, CNN’s Press Room proclaimed:

“Anderson Cooper and Kathy Griffin are back to co-host CNN’s coverage of the New Year’s Eve celebrations on Monday, Dec. 31, from 10 p.m. to 1:00 a.m. (ET). Bringing back their fun and unpredictable New Year’s Eve countdown program for the 6th consecutive year, Cooper and Griffin will ring in the new year live from NYC’s Time Square for CNN’s “New Year’s Eve Live with Anderson Cooper and Kathy Griffin.”

Clearly the cable network showed how desperate for a ratings boost they are as evidenced by Cooper’s statement in advance of the airing of the show.

“As always, I await New Year’s Eve with Kathy Griffin with grave reservations and tremendous fear, and I want to apologize in advance to anyone she may offend/assault/attempt to kiss” said Cooper.

Consider that during the 2009 show, Griffin dropped an F-bomb. The year before she directed a vulgar oral sex reference to a heckler. Last year she stripped down to her underwear.  She outdid herself Monday night in her quest to shock the veteran newsman by referring to his genitalia on air and later attempting to simulate oral sex on her openly gay best friend.

Newbusters provides the best video offering of the shock buzz complete with a transcript.

Is There A PayPal Account Or Something?

Randy Hall, writing at Newsbusters opines, “Just when it seemed that the controversy over gun control based on remarks from Piers Morgan couldn't get any stranger, the CNN weeknight talk show host wrote a lengthy article for the UK's Daily Mail newspaper in which he made a bizarre threat.

“In conclusion, I can spare those Americans who want me deported a lot of effort by saying this: If you don’t change your gun laws to at least try to stop this relentless tidal wave of murderous carnage, then you don’t have to worry about deporting me.”

“Although I love the country as a second home and one that has treated me incredibly well, I would…seriously consider deporting myself.”

Your offer is accepted without reservation.  Is there a PayPal account where we can donate funds to send you on your way you big tease?

Of course Morgan and his softly-rated primetime show have to pass muster with incoming CNN boss Jeff Zucker who is expected to shake up the network’s lineup in pursuit of a ratings turnaround.

UPDATE:  Just for kicks and giggles, see The Guardian’s post, “More Faked Photos, Piers?”

WARNING:  You may need brain bleach if you decide to watch the video.

UPDATE II:  It must be hard living in a country whose very constitution you loathe.
