Just Wait Until November

In his historic Oval Office address to the nation on the coronavirus outbreak President Trump said, “We are responding with great speed and professionalism. To keep new cases from entering our shores, we will be suspending all travel from Europe to the United States for the next 30 days.”

The President also announced he will take “emergency action” to give financial relief to impacted workers.

“Using emergency authority, I will be instructing the Treasury Department to defer tax payments without interest or penalty for certain individuals or businesses negatively impacted,” he said. “Finally, I am calling on Congress to provide Americans with immediate payroll tax relief.”

That, however, was not the story on CNN when Jim “Dear Diary” Acosta and Fredo Cuomo were worried about how the President worded his statement.
Even before the World Health Organization (WHO) declared Coronavirus a pandemic on Wednesday, the Democrat Media Complex discovered “Wuhan virus” and “Chinese coronavirus” served as racist dog whistles just in time to attack Republicans during the 2020 election cycle.

COVID-19 originated in China, in Wuhan specifically.  That’s an indisputable FACT.  It spread across the globe due to the Chinese Communist Party's ridiculous, self-serving reluctance to admit error, provide other nations with the DNA and RNA codes to help develop an effective vaccine as well as its seemingly bottomless capacity for arrogance, incompetence and opacity.  Those are FACTS as well.

It is unfathomable to think, in a moment of crisis, the douchebags at CNN are more concerned with something sounding xenophobic than they are about what the President actually said.
I thought it only fitting to have Acosta pictured in a Communist Chinese jersey with his trusty microphone while policing the President’s very somber address to a justifiably worried nation.

Later on in the Fake News evening lineup at CNN, the meltdown continued unabated.  See for yourself. 
If you think this shit was just a teensy bit unhinged, just wait until November when Orange Man Bad wins in a landslide.

Opinion Mongering?

Vanity Fair published an interesting article revealing the New York Times has asked members of its newsroom not to appear on opinionated shows to discuss political subjects.

It's not clear how many shows fall under that umbrella in the eyes of the Gray Lady’s brass, but MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow and Lawrence O’Donnell and CNN’s Don Lemon were specifically mentioned.

Executive Editor Dean Baquet has become increasingly concerned that if a Times reporter were to go on one of those shows, his or her appearance could be perceived as being aligned with that show’s political leanings.

Baquet believes “it’s a real issue.” Their view is that, intentionally or not, it affiliates the Times reporter with a bias.

That train has already left the station and they know it.

It was a long trip into the gutter.

Watch Out! We’ve Got A Badass Over Here

CNN’s host of “Tonight with Don Lemon” made a controversial comment about radicalized white men during the hand-off to his show Tuesday night discussing the impending arrival of thousands of migrants intent on invading the U.S.-Mexico border. "We have to stop demonizing people and realize the biggest terror threat in this country is white men, most of them radicalized to the right and we have to start doing something about them,” Lemon said. “There is no travel ban on them…there is no white guy ban.”
A CNN spokeswoman said Wednesday neither Lemon nor the network would speak more about it.  And yet, when Lemon appeared on-air Wednesday evening he noted people were angered by his comment saying everyone was “missing the entire point.”

“Let’s put emotion aside and look at the cold, hard facts” said Lemon as he cited reports from the über-left Mother Jones website which fit his narrative allegedly showing a spike in domestic terrorism by right-wing extremists. 
Lemon does not think for himself.  He arrives at some bogus worldview not because it’s authentic to his experience but automatically.  He is a robot.  He’s on auto-pilot just like his colleagues “Tater” Stelter and Jim “Crybaby” Acosta.  He is an “edgelord”; a brash provocateur. The man’s entire journalistic method seems to be to call attention to himself for no apparent reason, almost as if he wanted people to see him making an utter fool of himself.

Don Lemon’s Having “Minstrel Show” Cramps

Even before rapper Kanye West was scheduled to meet with President Trump in the Oval Office on Thursday, the dim bulbs at CNN were busily dissing him. Bakari Sellers declared, “Anti-intellectualism simply isn’t cool.  Kanye West is what happens when negroes don’t read.”

Tara Setmayer said, “Now all of a sudden because he's put on a MAGA hat and he's an attention whore like the President, he's all of a sudden the model spokesperson. He's the token negro of the Trump Administration. Black folks are about to trade Kanye West in the racial draft, okay. They've had it with him,” Setmayer added. “No one should be taking Kanye West seriously.”
Following West’s meeting, CNN’s Don Lemon said to others on another CNN panel, West is “an embarrassment to the African American community and America itself.”
“What I saw was a minstrel show today. Him in front of all these white people, mostly with people, embarrassing himself and embarrassing Americans, but mostly African Americans because every one of them is sitting either at home or with their phones, watching this cringing.  I couldn’t even watch it.  I had to turn the television of because it was too hard to watch.”

“This has nothing to do with being liberal or a conservative,” he continued. “This has to do with honesty. And we have to stop pretending, sitting here on these CNN panels or whatever network panels, and pretending like this is normal and let’s have this conversation about Kanye West. Who cares? Why are you sending cameras to the Oval Office for Kanye West?”

Lemon pleaded for those “who know him to grab him, snatch him up and get Kanye together because Kanye needs help.”

Near the end of his remarks, Lemon said the artist changed after the death of his mother, remarking his mom would have been disturbed by his behavior and “is rolling over in her grave.”

The tweet embedded below is representative of many responses to Lemon’s invoking the death of West’s mother.
Now CNN is deservedly receiving backlash for allowing these manifestly racist comments to go on air.

According to DailyMail.com, CNN has not responded to their request for comment.

I don’t particularly care for West’s brand of music, but the attacks on him are despicable and are indisputable proof that racist thoughts and actions say far more about the person they emanate from than the person to whom they are directed.
