All I have to do in D.C. is wander over to the bar in the Marriott Marquis, drink a bit, make up all sorts of bullshiat loudly --- and I would surely be picked up as a CNN, MSNBC, or Washington Post "un-named source".
That's because you're desensitized to bigotry. Which is what happens when it is free to roam and multiply. If you don't see the intended effect, then perhaps I misjudged you.OMG, Jewish stars. The horror. And Trump needs to have thicker skin?
I'm sure he is thankful, most victims of blackmail are if things remain quiet. Of corse, they now have this to hold over him for all perpetuity. Guess the mob could use some CNN connections.
Bullshit. The people who got canned at CNN did not do the rigorous confirmation beforehand. That is why they're gone. Whereas at your favorite news sources, I don't think they even know what "rigorous" means.
It's one thing to take on said bigotry in a debate. It's quite another for one very powerful organization to threaten an individual with public exposure knowing full well the consequences of such exposure could be deadly.
Right. If he ever spews bigoted hate on the Internet again, he'll get what he should have already gotten int he first place. They gave him a chance to clean up his act. I would not have.
I agree that the consequences of hate speech can be deadly. Usually not to the hater, unfortunately.
All CNN had to do is reveal the posts of Mr. HanAssholeSolo, (love the name), as the source of the video and write that considering the content of his posts, which they could leave to the reader to decide, they aren't surprised that Trump, who they considered to be an adolescent minded fool would pick up on such non-sense. That would have been a victory for them in this silly back and forth they have with Prez Trump. No, instead they decided to go all mobster on this dude and that is where they lost the battle turning potential victory into defeat.
