So just because they had a lot of views doesn't mean they are not fake news. FOX has kicked their ass in the ratings for years. Does that mean FOX isn't fake news? Based on your theory I guess not. You can't have it both ways. You're so desperate to prove CNN is a reliable source of news because your posts live of it but alas they have been exposed for who they really are. A Democratic anti-Trump propaganda machine confirmed by their most popular anchor. Sorry Beav, you don't have a leg to stand on in this case.

So just because they had a lot of views doesn't mean they are not fake news.

It does mean that more people get CNN's reporting than other outlets. Getting the truth out is important.

The same as trump is using the supposed Covid briefings to brag about himself instead. He is using it to get his message out.

Good point, Fox is fake news and has lots of views.

You have no clue what you are spewing out of your nostrils. CNN worldwide is the biggest online news media. Fox may have the highest TV ratings, but just in the USA. But because your idol called Trump calls CNN "Fake News" when he is cornered by a CNN journalist when asking him a question, does not mean that people with some iota of grey matter will buy his absolute lies!!
Goosey, Goosey Gander as usual you got your facts wrong!!

Krystal and Saagar: CNN absolutely LOSES it during Trump briefing

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RUOCMdZLG5s

Thought you would get a kick out of a real democrats view of CNN...........This is hilarious,lol.

Kyrstal hates Trump but isn't afraid to tell the truth about the establishments media machine A.K.A.......CNN.

 

[bver_hunter]

Good point, Fox is fake news and has lots of views.

They are the biggest Fake News Outlet. But now These right wingers are trying to throw that other non news outlet call Hill Rising and that nutcase called Saagar and Ball into the mix. No facts just criticism for anyone that reveals the truth regarding Trump and his Contradictions / Lies / Denials. Like he was denying that he praised China during the beginning of the Pandemic and then calling Kaitlin Collins of CNN the usual "Fake News" nonsense!!

But Trump IS an insane, incompetent , evil grifter, so reporting those facts ain't fake, is it? Fox is fake for making him look like a half decent head of state, which he is definitely not. I don't watch either one... I get most of my info from Colbert, Noah and Myers. Funny news is certainly better than fake news.

 

[Butler1000]

I'm rather enjoying the bver meltdown over some Independent media. He is shocked that his source of information should have any competition or a different view.

I note how worried he is about the Hill: Rising. Calling them nutcases while CNN had her on several mornings in a row when Sanders was peaking. And she owned her controlled opposition every time.

He fears their truth telling.

HAHAHAHA!!!! You watch CNN??? LMFAO!!!

 

[smallhatchet]

Mark Dice has 1.5million digital views on his account. Does that mean more people are looking for the truth?

If you watch the news on your tv or radio, you are completely in the dark regarding the truth!

Peasants!

And I thought this forum had members of credibility? I now see why the masses are lost.....SMH

 

[smallhatchet]

I don't watch either one... I get most of my info from Colbert, Noah and Myers. Funny news is certainly better than fake news.

And you say you're informed?????? LMFUCKINAO!

I wonder what you guys would do if you watched or listened to an unbiased news source? I would predict mass suicide if that was the case but hey, the world at least be getting back to normal.

Except CNN has now been exposed as a Democratic propaganda machine. Just ask their most popular anchor Chris Cuomo. Don't take my word for it.

Why are you wrong so often . CNN has been outed as Democratic propaganda machine by their own most popular anchor. Deal with it CNN is FAKE NEWS!

 

[danmand]

I dunno if CNN is a democratic propaganda machine. It is biased against Trump, but that is not the same.

PS: Where are all the people that claimed FOX was right because it had the most viewers?

Sorry you get your news from comedians! LOL. There job is not to tell the truth . It's to make you laugh.

Jon Stewart's Daily Show had both insight and humour.

Their not? They did everything in their power to make Sanders look bad. Biden had way more skeletons in his closet than Sanders did but they kept attacking Sanders and his policies. Why? Because he is not Democrat. They also have 10x the amount of Democratic surrogates on vs Republicans. Tell me again they aren't a propaganda machine for the Democrats. In the last election CNN had a Democratic operative give Clinton the questions before a debate. Sorry Danmand. You're a reasonable guy but on this you're off.

I will give you the benefit of doubt on this. I thought they were just promoting the old deep state or whatever you call it, against Trump and Sanders.

I have not been watching much of CNN lately.

Not only that, they do very little reporting themselves, most of their "Breaking news" is reported by other outlets, mainly the New York Times and Washington post. Most of their programming is OP-ED , political hit piece jobs and Democratic propaganda. They give opinions, very little facts, just like FOX.
