CNN is in the entertainment business, and not in the business of delivering news--real, fake or otherwise. Their programming has not been focused on delivering news for more than a decade (if even ever). It's all about hype. For that matter, so is Fox's.

It would be nice to see some new news channel start-up, that didn't have to include a panel of experts after every moderator's new report about something, animatedly trying to persuade each other and us, what we should think about whatever was just reported (or rather, speculated about more frequently than reported).

The biggest problem is the continual need to hype-- all the speculation, and us (viewers) getting addicted to all the hype. CNN is a drug. As is Fox. And MSNBC. Etc.

There's always the need to tell us about something that might happen as the result of what might have happened and how it might cause something else to happen; instead of just telling us what actually happened, and leaving it at that. But that doesn't provide a "fix".

I don't know where to find a non-entertainment, non-hype, news source anymore.

I contend the combination of FOXNEWSCHANNEL AND FOXBUSINESSCHANNEL, YOU GET A GOOD OVERALL ABOUT WHAT IS GOING ON AND MOST OF IT LIVE. So I have no problem with either. CNN,MSNBC, and the other networks you know, are all just pieces of crap. The only reason I ever watch anyone of them is if they are broadcasting a game (Football/basketball) of interest.

Rest of the time I follow the amalgamated news source DrudgeReport.com and get NEWSMAX feeds via email.

RE: GTS' Everybody Crap On CNN as Fake News Thread
Not only are we listing examples of CNN's fake news stories on this board, but CNN's Chris Cillizza has started a twitter list, although not intentionally, of CNN's fake news.

Granted, he was responding to a Trump tweet about fake news:

Quote:@CillizzaCNN
Name a story that is "fake" or "incorrect."

You can't just make a blanket assertion without ANY specifics.

He didn't realize he had just stepped in it.

What a real scumbag this guy is. They have no and I mean NO shame. They will lie about anything concerning Trump. Given that CNN is the bible for the libs here, it just gets more pathetic by the day the fake news and lies they spread that libs take as gospe.

GTS' Everybody Crap On CNN as Fake News Thread
Good grief.

I just tuned in to FNN for about 2 minutes for some reason, and it was Russia!!!, a fake magazine cover and then ROOSKIES!!! Again.

Who can possibly watch that any longer? They're making MSDNC look rational

Another one to add to the list. CNN bit on a clickbait fake National Enquirer cover.

#FakeNews CNN tweets fake quotes

http://www.dailywire.com/news/18285/anot...on-bandler

Quote:CNN Politics tweeted out various quotes influential Americans on the Fourth of July, including these from Abraham Lincoln and Benjamin Franklin:

[Image: 6vLHHA6.jpg]

[Image: ZnK2PEE.jpg]

There's just one problem: the quotes seem to be fake.

Mollie Hemingway did some digging and was able to find two Lincoln quotes that are similar to what CNN tweeted out but not quite the same:

"Let them know the truth, and the country is safe."
"Let the people know the facts, let them see the danger; but let every effort be made to allay public fears, to inspire the masses with confidence and hope, and, above all, to frown down every attempt to create a panic."

The first quote is in reference to opposition to the Civil War; the second is warning against creating public hysteria. And neither is what CNN tweeted out.

"The conflation of 'facts' and 'truth' is perfect," wrote Hemingway. "Facts can be manipulated. Truth is much more difficult to attain. It might be factual that intelligence chiefs briefed President-elect Trump about a Russian dossier, for instance. But whether that fact is used to spin a Russian conspiracy hoax is where truthfulness is important."

Quote:CNN has no such excuse for the Franklin quote, which Hemingway noted is actually a quote "from British writers John Trenchard and Thomas Gordon, authors of Cato’s Letters." Oops.
