The Trump Town Hall on CNN last night proves what I've been saying for years: CNN loves Trump. He's their #1 ratings magnet. He gets them clicks. He's the villain people love to hate, particularly their demographic. Half of their front page is dedicated to him today.

They certainly don't want him to be president, but they won't hate it if he wins.

BTW, there are now people on the right saying Fox News is starting to lean left and people on the left saying CNN is heading right. Something to watch I guess?

Also, don't ask me about the town hall. I didn't watch. I was golfing. I just heard Trump and assumed it'd be a lot of lying, bragging, and bullshit. Seems like I was correct.

I think CNN does want him to win.

"Trump's CNN" is one of the top trends on Twitter right now.

I wasn't on Twitter much last night, but the left wing part of my feed was bashing the shit out of CNN for doing this with Trump.

CNN pushing an old and bad take that has been disproven many times over and getting ratioed for it. And getting context tagged on top of it with multiple links proving it wrong.

Ouch.

Musk shoots his mouth off about Soros and CNN turns it into a hit piece masquerading as news.

Right in the first two articles they imply Elon is attacking Soros for being Jewish while stating Elon's attack doesn't implicitly state that. This isn't an opinion piece. This is an actual "news story". They then go on to attack Rs, Trump, and all things "right wing", while painting Soros as some innocent victim.

It's funny they call Elon's attack baseless while the entire article is the writer baselessly attacking him and others.

FYI, billionaires tend to be egotistical, thin skinned dicks relentlessly driven to be the richest and savviest. What foundation do they need to hate one another beyond that?

Also, nice job not mentioning Soros' ties to Ds until far later in the article when you know most people have stopped reading.

So three FBI whistleblowers are testifying at Congress today to discuss how the FBI has "been weaponized against conservatives". Believe it, don't believe it, there's been enough activity at this point that a whistleblower making these claims, let alone three, needs to be heard.

Remember, this is on the heels of the report stating the FBI never should have investigated Trump-Russia collusion, and years after it was revealed that the IRS was weaponized against conservative groups.

This is how a biased MSM helps to influence your opinion before you even read the article:

Jim Jordan’s FBI whistleblowers testifying publicly before Congress as questions about their legitimacy remain

Yahoo's summary that appears under the top headline before you click the article:
One of the agents was among the pro-Trump mob at the U.S. Capitol, according to the FBI, and the two others are alleged to have hindered investigative efforts.

Short clip from FBI whistleblower testimony.

Isn't it weird how the article above questioning their credibility was the last article CNN did on the subject? Seems like abandoning pedo cases in favor of spying on American citizens not committing crimes, but simply speaking up should warrant some outrage among the U.S. public.

But we all know we're too busy fighting over R vs D, what a woman actually is, white vs black, and so on.

You know, I'd wager if Confederate leaders could see the world now and then go back in time, they'd happily free all the slaves. Turns out you don't need to keep people in chains to enslave them.

Actual Headline: "Sleep apnea linked to smaller brain volume, study finds"

First sentence:
A part of the brain connected to memory shrank in people with severe sleep-disordered breathing — which can include heavy snoring and sleep apnea — according to a new study.
Fourth and Fifth paragraphs that are under an ad:
However, the loss of volume in the brain only occurred when a person also had signs of beta-amyloid plaques, a hallmark sign of Alzheimer’s disease, the study found.

“We found that greater severity of sleep apnea was associated with lower volumes in the hippocampus and in various subregions of the medial temporal lobe,” Rauchs said. “The people who did not have amyloid plaques did not have this lower brain volume, even if they had severe sleep apneas.”
This is the online equivalent of "Is something in your kitchen a ticking time bomb? Find out at 11 during our local news."

The profile piece on Chris Licht.

He lasted less than a week as head of CNN. :lol:

The two CNN PR people who approved the piece have also been shitcanned.

Exercise is right wing.

Ok, I did that title for fun, but it's a weird article. Very "the boogeyman is everywhere" vibes.

NPR is aware there have been countless articles from legit MSM outlets about the possibility that bugs could be on the menu in the future, yes?

Also, what isn't a "right wing conspiracy" or "racist" at this point?

It's the difference between having the option, and being forced to.
"I will not eat the bugs" became a meme on 4chan and emerged in conservative talk shows and political speech. But why has it gained traction? In this week's Code Switch, Gene Demby and NPR reporter Huo Jingnan dive into the sprawling conspiracy theory behind it. Proponents of the theory lean on the anti-semitic trope that "global elites" have a plot to control the masses — in this case under the guise of climate change solutions — by forcing them to eat bugs.

To be fair, that's not the claim. The claim is they will, not are.

I'm sure if we go through their archive they also have podcast episodes discussing the racist conspiracy theories about Hunter's laptop, Covid originating in China, the FBI censoring content on social media, Covid vaccines having harmful side effects for some people, and so on.

You know, the racist conspiracy theories that all turned out to be true. :D

By the way, calling anything that refers to "global elites" antisemitic is racist.

I don't think I followed your response because two of three of these things happen, and the third should be happening according to a lot of people on the far left.

You think nobody is trying to take away guns? How many first world countries have banned them (or mostly banned them) now?

Kids don't get molested? Are you in the camp trying to discredit The Sound of Freedom, as if Jeffrey Epstein never existed?

Well, I remember when Obama did take away all the guns, the first, second, third, and fourth time. Then when Biden did it, too. /s

They're going to force it. That's what the nutjobs keep saying.
