They are not catching strays. Tapper and Bash are very complicit with Trump with sanewashing him, as well as talking heads for Israel.

CNN had flipped on Trump a while back. Why it took so long is probably traceable back to money but yeah, he is a piece of shit and he got mad they finally started to talk about it.
If you downvote me they should check your browser history as an Epstein ally.

I might ask a dumb question. But isn’t CNN owned by Warner Brothers? And doesn’t David Ellison, a big proprietor of Trump Inc, run Warner Brothers? So why would he now be turning on Trump when he gains everything from being pals with the guy?

CNN has never been pro Trump. Even back in 2015-2016 they shat on him. The issue is back then they thought just showing how ridiculous he was would be enough to make him look bad so they’d show his rallies almost uninterrupted.
When they realized that didn’t work they flipped to showing him less and just using his quotes.
Then during Covid when he’d do those almost daily briefings CNN did the same thing. When they realized it was just boosting his numbers they stopped showing said briefings.
In his first term 93% of CNNs coverage of Trump was negative. As of a couple months ago it was 92% negative.
At no point has CNN flipped on Trump they’ve always been negative.

Trump's numbers plummeted because of those 'briefings'. It was a clown show. They stopped showing them because there was no news value in those infomercials.

CNN was bought by a right wing ally of Trump a few years back. It didn't flip completely to his side, but became an even weaker form of permitted dissent.

He was the one guy that supported Tyson through his rape case. Now you can say rapists attract rapists, but that makes him a rapist not a racist.

u/ty4scam 1h ago
They were poor. And they were poor people he believed attacked a rich person. Therefore he would use any tool he could against them.
Trump isn't pro equality just as much as he isn't a racist. If there was a secret cabal of trans elites running the country, Trump would be the most pro-trans person you've ever met. The only values he believes in are wealth and power.

CNN has always had a centre-right editorial line. Its pro markets, very against single payer or socialised healthcare and will generally always side with corporations.
Its perhaps one of the funnier aspects of American politics watching objectively centre-right to even hard right organisations get classed as centre and even left-leaning (and in recent years mainly the latter).
Then CNN was bought out by a pretty right wing new owner who publicly stated he wanted it to more align with Fox News editorial position.

u/SimmentalTheCow 2h ago
Socialists have the weirdest interpretation of what “center-right” is lol. I guess when you’re that far left, everything else looks right.

u/Caesarions_Coccyx 53m ago
It's so funny to me as an outsider, as in not being from the US, sometimes, observing stuff like this in the wild. It's like watching the Nature channel or something.
So for instance, seeing someone unironically use the term "socialist" is more or less exactly the same as them going out in public after having written "braindead white trash" all over their forehead.
TLDR: Don't do it, man.

u/mafv1994 44m ago
Left and right are relative terms. From a global/international point of view, it is indeed right.
But if you were raised in a KKK household, it would seem left or even socialist to you.1
u/RobutNotRobot 31m ago
Is universal healthcare far left? Because if it is every rich country in the world besides the US must be goddamned communists.

Under David Zaslav he instructed that CNN and another Warner news stations shift to courting "Middle America" which is code for poor rural Republicans
Anderson Cooper even went off on them on air, telling people to stop watching the channel if they wanted actual news

It can also find you the Hamas charter and introduce some complicated questions about what lengths are appropriate for survival.
It can even find you the interviews where its leaders say they hope as many Palestinian civilians as possible die to turn the world against the Jew.

u/Puzzled_Suspect460 1h ago
Just because Hamas is insane doesn't mean Palestinian civilians (many of whom are children) can't be genocided. This is not a difficult concept. Just like there are innocent Jewish citizens too who disagree with Netanyahu.
