I've wondered before what Ted Turner thinks of CNN today. As the article states, CNN was at one time an excellent news source, especially during the Gulf War era and Turner led the way towards the growth of cable news. I'm sure Turner is a leftie and I never thought much of him but his original CNN was really good.

Six reasons, ten-as long as they fail. It's about justice and reaping what one sows. As humans, we're built to desire and demand justice. People groan when the wicked are in power; people rejoice when they see the power of the wicked destroyed.

Not only was CNN given unprecedented access during Desert Shield/Storm, it was later actually leading Clinton's foreign policy responses. I was stationed at a higher headquarters and we watched CNN to see where the next fight was. Wherever Christiane Amanpour was reporting from was where our or some other service's troops were being sent next.

CNN is the Communist News Network. They are the mouthpiece for the extreme left. There is no further left than these hypocrites. Everyday they are given their talking points and on every show, every damn one of them, they say the same exact thing. If not for the airports there would be no CNN. Got it...

They sold their soul to stay in Iraq in 1992 and wound up being Saddam's mouthpiece. From that point, it was downhill all the way. I used to respect CNN when Ted Turner was in charge, but then he sold his creation and it went to sewage. Not all at once, but the signs were there.

CNN is very much like a certain BOMBSHELL!!! web site. It's all about click bait through the false promise of titillation. Tune in if you dare. Expect to get little to nothing of actual value but breathless reporting of the same-old-same-old. If it isn't COVIDS it's Election 2020 Thievery. Yawn...both have their fans.

Their biggest failure is to continue to make the same mistakes over and over again. I guess as long as cable companies, advertisers, and airports continue to pay CNN fheir fees, CNN will be happy to continue down that path

CNN has been pushing the left's anti-American angle for a long time before Bush 43. I think maybe to appeal more to the international market. This opened a opportunity so that In 1996 Murdoch (who is not a right winger) started Fox News. I think maybe it was Fox News that open people's eyes to the bias and lies of CNN which then lead to the fall of CNN ratings, that and the internet.

"Coumo's Emmy" He only started his "Custom built set" daily Covid Briefings because Trumps daily Covid Briefings were the top TV draw in the daytime, and carried live on Radio too.Trump brought the latest information and data about every aspect of the issue, with the actual experts/people at the tip of the spear in research and response. He took EVERY question from every media outlet about EVERY issue, Covid or not. Local, National and International. The result was Trumps poll numbers pertaining to "Effective leader/Right track/wrong track" started to climb, even with people that HATED him personally.(Trump took more unscripted questions in a single day than Biden has since he declared he was running) As soon as the Media got the Coumo show up and running they started editing Trump comments, cutting away, censoring...even though the Trump Show had the source documents and actual principles, coumo only had second hand info and secondary "NYC Local" officials. The Trump Whitehouse show had a longer run, more viewers, higher rationgs...but not even a mention or nomination for an Award. Bear in mind Hildebeast and Obammer got Emmy's for reading their fictional/Quasi Biographies on tape. Maybe Grammy's too?

The article makes one glaring omission about the Gulf War coverage - Peter Arnett's unapologetic shilling for Saddam. For those who aren't familiar, he posed in a "baby milk" factory the US bombed. He knew it was a baby milk factory because everything was covered with labels - in English - saying "baby milk" and all were perfectly neat, clean and readable in a pile of debris. Of course, it was actually a military factory, but he tried to sell that story despite how obviously untrue it was, and it was the first clue a lot of people had just how far left CNN was.

Um, #1, I distinctly remember CNN featuring traitor Ramsay Clark reporting from the Middle East during the Gulf War and bashing America and her military while we had boots on the ground in Kuwait and Iraq. Excellent is a word which has NEVER applied to CNN.

A Republican and Democratic senator introduced legislation Friday that aims to end U.S. reliance on rare-earth metals sourced from and produced in China. The Restoring Essential Energy and Security Holdings Onshore for Rare Earths (REEShore) Act would prevent supply disruptions and bolster domestic production of the minerals, according to Sens. Tom Cotton and Mark Kelly, the bill’s sponsors. They said the legislation is important for American national security and development of advanced technologies. “The Chinese Communist Party has a chokehold on global rare-earth element supplies, which are used in everything from batteries to fighter jets,” Cotton said in a statement.

An internal poll shows Republican Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan with a big lead in a hypothetical 2022 Senate matchup with Democratic incumbent Chris Van Hollen. Maryland will elect a new governor in 2022 as Hogan becomes term-limited out of office, and the popular governor has not yet announced his next move. An internal poll shared with the Daily Caller found that, if he chooses to run for Senate, Hogan would currently lead Van Hollen by a 49%-37% margin. While a Senate run has not been ruled out by Hogan, others have speculated he will instead opt to run for president in 2024.

The late Harry Reid returns to the U.S. Capitol this week to lie in state – the very place where he spent a significant portion of his adult life, serving the people of Nevada and his party as Senate majority leader. Reid was in the mold of another legendary Senate majority leader, Lyndon Johnson – someone for whom political power far outweighed any strongly held ideological beliefs. Reid’s expedience sometimes led him to do the right thing, even if it didn’t come from a place of deep conviction. In the early to mid-1990s, as he was trying to climb the ranks of the Democratic leadership structure in the Senate,

A former aerospace company executive accused embattled Democratic New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham on Monday, as well as several of her appointees, of retaliating against him after he filed a whistleblower complaint. Zach DeGregorio, the former Chief Financial Officer of Spaceport America, alleges that one of Grisham’s political appointees, Alicia Keyes, encouraged him to falsify an economic impact study. He also alleges that Keyes mishandled a bond refinancing for the purpose of defrauding the state. When DeGregorio attempted to report the wrongdoing, he claimed, he was threatened with investigations and a firing.

The fact that there are more Republican-appointed justices than not bodes well for inherent rights and freedom in 2022’s big cases, in particular the anon vaccine cases, but with Roberts the Squish and three neophyte Trump appointees coming into their own, anything is possible. As an interesting aside, the three surviving retired justices (O’Connor, Kennedy, and Souter) all joined the ranks courtesy of Republican presidents and subsequently tilted leftward.

With the Senate tied 50-50, just a few key races will decide which party controls Congress’ upper chamber for the last two years of President Joe Biden’s first term. In addition to key pieces of legislation, executive and judicial nominees will depend on whether Democrats can maintain control, or Republicans take over. Here are five of the most important Senate races to watch during the midterms: Pennsylvania Republican Pat Toomey is retiring after two terms, and his seat is one of just two up for election where the current holder is of a different party than the candidate who won the state in 2020.

By next November, the economy will be a political dry hole for Democrats as it’s very unlikely that inflation will ease, and chances are getting better for the double-whammy of inflation and a slowing economy.

A judge in the state of Wisconsin ruled on Thursday that the use of ballot boxes in the 2020 election was, in fact, illegal.

WILL argued that the Wisconsin Elections Commission (WEC) had unilaterally issued guidance to election clerks, authorizing the use of ballot collection boxes, in contradiction of state law. “The guidance from the Wisconsin Elections Commission on absentee ballot drop boxes was unlawful.
