CNN Has Worked Hard To Earn the Title of “Clinton News Network”
It’s too bad it took a Brit to tell the truth about the incestuous relationship between the American media and the Clintons. When Daily Mail opinion columnist Katie Hopkins appeared on CNN last week she deftly dropped the “Clinton News Network” epithet on her host, Hala Gorani. It really was quite delicious. In response to a question about whether Trump could win Hopkins replied, “I think he’s gonna win. I think you guys are in for a big surprise which I’m quite excited about. I think we’ve seen a very similar thing here in the UK with Brexit. We saw a lot of the liberal press kind of sneering at Brexiteers. We saw a lot of the sneering that we see from the Clinton News Network and I think it’s something—” At this point, Hala Gorani interrupted, “That’s CNN. You’re calling us the Clinton News Network. Why? Why do you call us the Clinton News Network when we prominently featured a Florida poll that showed Donald Trump had a couple of points lead [inaudible]?” Hopkins landed a clean shot on CNN’s jaw. Good for her. She is probably wrong about Trump’s chances but she was right to say that CNN is nothing but a front for Clinton, inc. Hala Gorani’s protests to the contrary came off as desperate, as if running a poll showing Trump leading in one state somehow proves that CNN is beholden to no one. If my memory serves me correctly, the term “Clinton News Network” dates back to the first Clinton presidency, which is to say about twenty years. As the name suggests, the world’s first 24-hour news network does not merely bend to the Democratic left—which is basically a given—but also that it’s specifically Clintonian. CNN oldtimer Larry King let that secret slip 24 years ago when he was caught on a hot mic sucking up to then-Governor Bill Clinton during the 1992 campaign. King slyly admitted that Ted Turner, who owned CNN at the time, would “serve” Clinton. It’s hard to imagine that he meant anything other than that Turner would be willing to put the massive influence of his network, which then had a monopoly on cable news, at Clinton’s disposal. Here’s the transcript: KING: Ted Turner changed the world. Big fan of yours, you know? CLINTON: Is he? KING: He would, uh, serve you. You know what I mean? CLINTON: You’re kidding. KING: Oh you’d be surprised. He’s [inaudible]. What’s he got left in life to gain? I’d call him after you’re elected. Think about it. CLINTON: Huh. KING: No dope. CLINTON: That’s for sure. I’m sure Hillary’s fan club would use the same old tactics they always use to deny the validity of that very candid moment—“It’s old news!” “That was Bill, not Hillary!” “Out of context!” and blah, blah, blah. But when it comes to the love affair between the Clintons and their network, some things never change. When the Hillary Clinton campaign hosted an “off the record” cocktail party at the Manhattan home of a prominent donor they invited “influential reporters, anchors and editors.” The purpose of the event was to coordinate directly with the media to get their message out and to gin up excitement about Mrs. Clinton’s candidacy. It was an egregious example of media players violating the professional distance they should maintain from the candidates they cover. Among the 38 who RSVP’ed were nine from CNN—more than from any other news outlet. CNN President Jeff Zucker apparently declined his invitation though he never mentioned publicly that this highly unprofessional schmooze-fest took place and there’s no indication that he disciplined any of his nine unethical employees. The fact that they still have jobs indicates his tacit approval. The Clinton News Network also employed Donna Brazile, the Democratic strategist and Clinton loyalist who was until very recently a regular contributor to several CNN programs. She was fired in October after Wikileaks emails revealed that she fed at least two questions to Clinton in advance of a debate or debates that took place during the Democratic primaries. In Brazile’s email she admits that “from time to time” she “get questions in advance,” which indicates that she’s done this before. One question involved the death penalty and another was a wiffleball about lead-contaminated water in Flint, Michigan. This wasn’t a case of CNN merely preferring Democrats over Republicans. This was an example of CNN rigging the game to boost a candidate named Clinton above even fellow Democrats. Naturally, CNN has denied any wrong-doing.
“CNN never gave Brazile access to any questions, prep material, attendee list, background information or meetings in advance of a town hall or debate,” pronounced a network spokeswoman. The truth of the matter is more complicated. Obviously someone at the network leaked the questions, but who? According to Brazile’s own email, her source for at least one of the unknown total number of questions is Roland Martin, who has worked with but not for CNN. Martin reportedly received it from CNN’s Jake Tapper. To say that Brazile did not receive any access to questions may be a premature conclusion in light of the fact that no one knows how many questions she’s received over the years. In any case, her indirect access highlights serious ethical shortcomings at CNN.
But CNN’s main contribution to this year’s Clinton campaign has not been in leaking debate questions or making a spectacle out of Donald Trump’s antics. Their primary utility has been in squashing stories—in other words, by doing exactly the opposite of what a free press is supposed to do. Think of CNN as a fire brigade that runs around putting out fires for their favorite candidate. Wherever there’s a story that could potentially harm Hillary’s electoral chances CNN is there to suffocate it with speed and ferocity.
My favorite example of this was CNN’s desperate efforts to spin discussion of Mrs. Clinton’s ailing health as mere “conspiracy theories.” She’s fit as a fiddle! “The new birthers: Debunking the Hillary Clinton health conspiracy” blared a piece from August. Wherever would these conspiracy theorists get the idea that Mrs. Clinton is unwell? Maybe it’s because she can’t climb a few stairs and she hacks like an old barmaid. When Hillary was interviewed by the FBI about her email server she pleaded ignorance again and again, claiming that her memory hadn’t been the same since she suffered a concussion in 2012. She was probably lying about not being able to remember, of course, but she did faint at her home and hit her head. If she’s so healthy, why is she always stumbling and falling down? The article continued: “Clinton’s physician — the only person to speak on the record who has actually examined her — has repeatedly affirmed the former secretary of state’s health and fitness for the highest office in the land.” Sure—but that means nothing because Hillary Clinton would never employ a doctor who wouldn’t lie for her.
As it turned out, Hillary was (or is) sick—only the diagnosis is unknown. She was forced to admit it after collapsing in New York in early September. Even then Clinton refused to go the hospital in hopes that she might be able to continue the charade. She now claims that she was fighting walking pneumonia. Maybe she was or maybe she’s been struggling with a more permanent medical condition but in either case her doctor is a liar. Can I blame CNN for that? Yes, I can. A denial from Clinton’s surrogate is nothing more than a denial from Clinton herself and no journalist should take it at face value. But that’s how CNN operates—they consider any charge to be “debunked” once it’s been denied by their preferred candidate. If you don’t believe her, you’re a “conspiracy theorist.” That’s not journalism, it’s public relations.
It took CNN years of hard work to earn the title “Clinton News Network.” It isn’t easy being the lackey of the world’s most powerful couple. People start asking embarrassing questions like “Why are so many of your reporters at secret meetings with Clinton?” and “How the heck did Clinton know the debate questions in advance?” Then network spokespeople have to scramble to cover CNN’s bare backside. It’s almost enough to make me feel sorry for them. Almost.

WOW this CNN guy is such a hypocrite. Everything he accuses "fake news websites" of....he and his CNN are guilty of. All day 24/7 the narrative at CNN and most of the rest of the mainstream media is basically..."So how horrible has Donald Trump been lately"?? Here it is wikileaks has revealed email after email after email after email of the unethical and criminal things Clinton campaign people have said and done. They have participated in crimes concerning the Clinton foundation....making slurs against Evangelicals, Catholics, Southerners, Sanders Supporters, Trump supporters, Latinos and on and on! The Clinton campaign has also COLLABORATED with the media like CNN. As one wikileaks email revealed....Democrat Donna Brazille while working at CNN was giving the questions of debates to CNN and other media. This was wrong for her to do, to say the least. Well CNN recently fired Donna Brazille showing that they believed these wikileaks emails were correct. WHERE was CNN and the rest of the media when back in May....Bill Clinton ATTACKED AMERICAN ALLY Poland as being a "non-democracy" for not taking in dangerous immigrants? NOWHERE! I found out about this on one of those alternative media "fake news" websites. I could be here all day talking about the hypocrisy of CNN and media like them. But one recent example of CNN's "Clinton News Network" bias is when the other day they reported that Mr. Trump referred to Hillary as "her". Trump simply basically said...."knowing about Hillary's corrupt background I don't think the military would be comfortable taking orders from her". For that benign comment....the talking heads at CNN were CRUCIFYING Mr. Trump as being a "SEXIST"!!! That's INSANE! Did CNN and the rest of the old dinosaur mainstream media CONDEMN Hillary and Bill Clinton for ATTACKING Poland? NO THEY DID NOT!! It was only those "fake news" websites that reported stories of how unfair it was for Bill Clinton to attack Poland back in May. CNN LOVED to criticize Trump for the violence at Trump rallies to degrade Mr. Trump. But WHY didn't they investigate to find out that it was their BELOVED Democrats who were causing virtually all of this violence? HMMMMMM What CNN will NEVER tell you: Democrats INCITE VIOLENCE at Trump rallies and Media secretly LOVES them! When we Polish Americans vote for president tomorrow....we should remember how Bill Clinton ATTACKED Poland (and Hungary) for rightly listening to the will of Poland's people and securing her borders against Third World migrants. Poland saw how these migrants were causing chaos in the rest of Europe and had every right not to take them in. It was unfair and disgusting for Bill Clinton to attack Poland (a good American ally) and accuse Poland of being "not a democracy"...and a "dictatorship"....when in fact Poland is the OPPOSITE for listening to the will of her people. The Polish American Congress, Polish and Hungarian officials have called on Bill and Hillary to apologize for this...but they have NOT. So Hillary Clinton is an anti-Polish Bigot for going along with her husband Bill in promoting bigotry and slander against two good American allies Poland and Hungary. She does not deserve to be president in my opinion. polishamericanreview.com/par2_028.htmTo his credit....When Mr. Trump was at the Sept. 28 Chicago Polish American Congress....he said Bill Clinton's attack on Poland was HORRIBLE. He's right! See (And WHY hasn't Hillary visited the Polish American Congress after being invited? Is she PREJUDICED against Polish people???) As a Polish American, this is one reason among many why I am voting for Mr. Trump tomorrow. Seeing all the wikileaks revelations of the Hillary campaign, Hillary should be in jail not running for president. We should vote for Trump, not only to make America Great again......but to defy crooked Clinton and the crooked Clinton/Establishment media that HATES Mr. Trump and us Polish people. Even quite a few Black leaders don't like Hillary. polishamericanreview.com/par2_029.htmIts also ironic that Clinton accuses Trump as being "dangerous" in international relations...when her Syrian No-Fly zone policy against Nuclear armed Russia..will only get us into war with Russia. A vote for Hillary is a vote for war

Something quite “HUGE” just happened!
Posted on November 15, 2016 by State of the Nation State of the Nation The heavens opened up wide on November 8 and are now raining a shower of grace and blessings on the United States of America. God Almighty has shown great compassion and kindness to the American people. Some might even say divine mercy. Truly, the election of Donald J. Trump is the first vital step toward restoring the American Republic as designed by the prescient Founding Fathers. Trump’s complete reversal of the Obamanation was absolutely necessary if this nation was to avoid a continuing collapse. However, that is not the “HUGE” we are talking about here. For perhaps the first time in modern history the alternative and independent media (Alt-Media) had a major influence on the outcome of a U.S. presidential election. Some have even said that it was a decisive one. That without the Alt-Media operating at full tilt, Trump would not have won. How HUGE is that?! Now here’s the real HUGEness of this evolving success story. With the formal appointment of Stephen Bannon (Executive Chairman of BREITBART News) by Trump “as his chief White House strategist and senior counselor”, everything changes—BIG TIME. How so? Because, for the first time in U.S. history a powerful alternative news platform will have the ear of a POTUS and serious access to the West Wing. Not only is Bannon a very conscientious truth-seeker following in the footsteps of founder Andrew Breitbart, he is also a no-nonsense political warrior who will not suffer fools gladly. His professional background clearly reflects an individual who has been around the block…many blocks … that he will now be required to consult on. Here are some of his credentials: Who is Stephen Bannon? • Executive Chairman of Breitbart news, the most widely-read conservative news and opinion site in America. • A graduate of Georgetown University and Harvard Business School, former US Navy officer and investment banker at Goldman Sachs • Conservative documentary film-maker who produced films celebrating Reagan, Sarah Palin and the Tea Party (Source: Trump election: Priebus and Bannon given key roles) What does this extraordinary development really mean? It means that the US of A is about to be treated to a dose of reality never experienced by the media-consuming public. It also signals Trump’s intention to permit the brutal truths to be disseminated by his administration. Many of those truths, by the way, are not only quite inconvenient to the current power structure behind the U.S. Federal Government, some are downright radioactive that will eventually go nuclear. In other words the Fifth Estate will see a rapid ascendancy during the Trump Administration. Not only does Trump have an unprecedented opportunity to download volumes of unredacted government documents — from all the previous administrations — into the public domain, he can grant special access to his preferred media outlets. In so doing, Trump will deprive the mainstream media (MSM) of their previous monopoly to spin the facts anyway they were directed to by the intelligence services. After all, every major MSM outlet is completely controlled by the CIA, DIA and NSA. The Fifth Estate Casts Its Shadow Like a Massive Mothership The bottom line here is that under a President Trump, the Fifth Estate will trump the Fourth Estate. When Alex Jones of Infowars.com receives a call of gratitude from the president-elect, there can be no question about the future of media within the Beltway. ______________________________________________________________ Special Note: The CCRG published a very prescient piece on the coming “Multi-Media Mothership Internet Platform” that will soon cast its shadow over the traditional MSM. When the Mothership finally arrives, it will completely overshadow the Mainstream Media to the extent where most of the MSM outlets will go out of business. This must occur sooner than later if the planetary civilization is to experience the overhaul it is in desperate need of. Such a worldwide rejuvenation can only take place in the wake of an MSM collapse or takeover because, in effect: Whoever Controls The Media Controls The World. Hence, it is now high time for the global village to receive its news and commentary from the town criers who have been only a voice in the wilderness over millennia. This is why the appointment of BREITBART’s Steve Bannon will end up being the most important of the Trump transition team. ______________________________________________________________
ConclusionWhoever controls the national media, effectively controls the country. Given the massive sea change in American politics that has precipitated from what is really a 12.0 Trumpquake, the U.S. citizenry can first expect to see a tsunami of truth wash over the land as the various institutions of the Fourth Estate succumb to the incomparable earthquake. Even the once-venerated New York Times sees its demise on the horizon, or else it would have never deigned to publish such an utterly humiliating mea culpa. (The NYT Publicly Promises To Start “Reporting Honestly”) Likewise, there are a plethora of other traditional dailies in conservative regions of the USA which made the regrettable mistake of both endorsing Mrs. Clinton and trashing Mr. Trump. Each of them is now issuing their compulsory apologies to their right-of-center readerships… before their advertising revenues and subscriptions collapse. What makes the coming Trumpocalypse even more unsettling for the MSM, is that they have already been deeply averse to printing the truth for decades…even though their bottom lines are being increasingly gutted by the year. Make no mistake about it: the very cozy and incestuous relationships that exist within Government-Corporate-Media Complex is about to experience a full-blown Trumpageddon. State of the Nation November 15, 2016 Author’s Note Another huge event took place during the 2016 campaign season that saw the role of women take center stage in politics. In the case of Hillary Clinton, it was a real downer. However, the pivotal role of a real woman — Kellyanne Conway — as Trump’s last campaign chair was a first in American politics. (The Woman Behind the Trump Victory) Some pundits and analysts wonder if Trump would have won without her. They also wonder if he would have won the Republican nomination without the sage advice of his principal advisor and daughter— Ivanka. (Ivanka Trump Is a Key Adviser to Her Father) Editor’s Note: The single biggest move that President-elect Trump can make is to ban the MSM reporters from the White House press conferences for the first 180 days. He should open the doors to the Alt-Media and Indy media with special privileges in covering his focused government reform and political agendas. This single initiative would force the entire nation into the alternative media paradigm, thereby permitting the dissemination of vital information into American living rooms on an unprecedented scale. This very controlled process of revelation could be conducted incrementally so that one day the whole USA would know that 9/11 was an inside job.

As a person, I have no vested interest as to who or what is the new American President. What my self do deal with, is the currant and present situation.
Perhaps it is time for most to understand and realize, there is a new sheriff in town, and best to learn to get along with him.

You spoke the truth Karl, and I believe that Barack Obama and Hilary Clinton reacted very responsible to the outcome of the elections. They urged their followers to respect the outcome of the elections and cooperate with the new Trump administration for the unity of the USA. Trump himself showed a presidential side, was fair and courteous towards Clinton and Obama, and even responded to racist behavior of some of his followers. He has a difficult task ahead of him uniting his country and trying to implement his program and carry out his plans. I wonder if he will succeed in that. We, the Western press and media, will monitor his adminstration closely, objectively, neutral and critical, like we judge, monitor and discribe each presidency and administration.
I am really curious about how the Trump adminstration will work in 2017. We will see after Januari 20th 2017.

Karl, I like your approach:
+++Perhaps it is time for most to understand and realize, there is a new sheriff in town, and best to learn to get along with him.+++
I want to give a new president a chance to show that he wants to do something good for the whole nation. I stopped reading some of these liberal mass media attacking Trump now. Let to try to give him chance to build something. I hope that this would not be a terrible presidency if we stop opposing everybody else from a different party than our own.

Jaga Thank you for your kind words, just simply applying the manner of realistic observation. Beyond the obvious though, this is only a projected opinion, but, perhaps this will be the catalyst to bring Americans together once again to a common objective. The common objective is to: Build what has been broken in the name of unity. For some years as noticed from across the pond, American Government and the American people have been dividing them selves. This has been accomplished through a noticeable lack of confidence in their government beginning from the time of the Vietnam war with dirty politics practiced by their political leadership. Now, is always a good time to begin the work of rebuilding that which in past time, has been allowed to slowly die on the vine. This is a renewed time of rebuilding American confidence and pride that has been allowed to deteriorate by neglect and abuse of power. Americans are well known for their manner of pulling together in times of national stress. With this and their once past pride in their industry, as produced with pride and quality with American hands and made in The USA. As a European, I say of the above, not out of apple polishing, but in the manner of reality. For the American way of production and hands on application of technology, has the manner of scaring the heck out of our industrial business leadership{s}. With this, our production management has learnt and relearnt the American manner of high speed production and efficient use of materials. This birth of beginning was learnt in far past from your Henry Ford as the spark to light our furnaces to create the steam of energy, this then to get the boilers fired up, to complete the blue print of progess. karl

Dear Jaga, I completely agree with you I about the liberal mass media. I have to ad to that that I am critical about the mass media in general and thus also the conservative mass media next to the liberal ones. People forget about conservative oponents of Donald Trump and conservative media and anchormen and women. Conservative political commentator and media personality Glenn Beck said opposing Donald Trump is a "moral, ethical" choice — even if that results in Hillary Clinton becoming the next president. I agree with your that the American people and the European partners of the new president must give Donald Trump a chance to show that he wants to do something good for the whole nation. I have to say that I had my doubt about the liberal left intellectual press in Europe in the past decades too. They often favored Labour candidates in various countries and opposed conservative and christian-democratic candidates and parties over here. Today like Fox news we see the development of a rightwing, conservative press in Europe too next to some moderate liberal-conservative and libertarian press. Wakker Nederland (abbr. WNL, English: " Awakened Netherlands") is a Dutch rightwing public broadcaster on the NPO. It was founded on 16 February 2009 as a right-wing conservative counterweight to the perceived leftist bias of Dutch public television. WNL and PowNed have their origins in the Populist, right wing newspaper De Telegraaf. WNL takes care of the morning television programming and began airing their morning show Ochtendspits (English: " Morning Rush Hour") on Nederland 1 on 6 September 2010. They also had an evening news show on Nederland 2 called Uitgesproken WNL (English: " Outspoken WNL") on Wednesday evenings. WNL also produces radio programmes. For my sources, objective view and local, regional, national and international news, politics and culture I have always read leftwing, centrist and rightwing press. In Germany and the Netherlands I like to read the a centre-right, liberal-conservative Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung every now and then if I see one a bookstore or newsstand (newsagent's shop in British English), the conservative Die Welt and Der Spiegel next to the excellent centrist and liberal highbrow newspaper Die Zeit (more center left) and the progressive liberal Süddeutsche Zeitung. I hope that the bond between the USA and Europe will stay, that the historical ties stay in tact and that Trump will manage to put the American economy back on track and will focus on the recovery of the USA. (Employment, Research & Development and working on the American infrastructure which is in a bad shape). Maybe as a builder, he will know how to manage the American infrastructure improvement. I am really curious how Trump will manage the country and how his administration will look like. Cheers, Pieter

Please, do not share hyper-partisan hate-related stories here in the forum. The Huma Adedin story was related to politics playing by one side of the election politics. Here is a real warning from CNN telling about how bogus media is playing us all: money.cnn.com/2016/11/02/media/fake-news-stories/index.htmlNPR Finds ‘Godfather’ of Fake News Is a Liberal Democrat in California Posted By: Date: Thursday, 24-Nov-2016 13:35:23 National Public Radio launched an investigation of “fake news” sites — which Democrats blame for President-elect Donald Trump’s victory — and found, to its surprise, that the “godfather” of fake news is a liberal Democrat from Culver City, California. NPR’s Laura Sydell described the process of tracking down fake news sites — many of which had names and formats designed to look like real news websites — and discovering many that led to one company in particular: The sites include NationalReport.net, USAToday.com.co, WashingtonPost.com.co. All the addresses linked to a single rented server inside Amazon Web Services. That meant they were all likely owned by the same company. Jansen found an email address on one of those sites and he was able to link that address to a name: Jestin Coler. Online, Coler was listed as the founder and CEO of a company called Disinfomedia. Coler’s company, Disinfomedia, owns many faux news sites — he won’t say how many. But he says his is one of the biggest fake news businesses out there, which makes him kind of like a godfather of the industry. Once Coler agreed to an interview, he told NPR that the purpose of starting his fake news empire in 2013 was “to highlight the extremism of the white nationalist alt-right” — or, in Coler’s exact words: “The whole idea from the start was to build a site that could infiltrate the echo chambers of the alt-right, publish blatantly false or fictional stories, and then be able to publicly denounce those stories and point out the fact that they were fiction.” Coler claimed that his fake news stories worked because “they fit into existing right-wing conspiracy theories.” Left-wingers, he said, were less gullible. (NPR did not question that claim — even though one of the largest social media sites, Occupy Democrats, produces fabricated or exaggerated news for liberals to share on Facebook and elsewhere.) The moral questions raised by fake news did seem to trouble Coler, though not all that much. He admitted that he has a financial incentive to keep going — and, more important, a political one: “Really the financial part of it isn’t the only motivator for me. I do enjoy making a mess of the people that share the content that comes out of our site. It’s not just the financial incentive for me. I still enjoy the game, I guess.

Here is more about Fake News propaganda. I hope that Trump got the message. Pizza Gate caused already a dangerous situation by somebody who went there and tried to find a secret place where allegedly Clinton campaign was running child porno....in the basement. Of course nothing of this sort was taking place.... www.nytimes.com/2016/12/06/us/politics/michael-flynn-son-trump.htmlTrump Fires Adviser’s Son From Transition for Spreading Fake NewsWASHINGTON — President-elect Donald J. Trump on Tuesday fired one of his transition team’s staff members, Michael G. Flynn, the son of Mr. Trump’s choice for national security adviser, for using Twitter to spread a fake news story about Hillary Clinton that led to an armed confrontation in a pizza restaurant in Washington. The uproar over Mr. Flynn’s Twitter post cast a harsh spotlight on the views that he and his father, Lt. Gen. Michael T. Flynn, aired on social media throughout the presidential campaign. Both men have shared fake news stories alleging that Mrs. Clinton committed felonies, and have posted their own Twitter messages that at times have crossed into Islamophobia. But their social media musings apparently attracted little attention from Mr. Trump or his transition team before a North Carolina man fired a rifle on Sunday inside Comet Ping Pong, which was the subject of false stories tying it and the Clinton campaign to a child sex trafficking ring. Hours after the episode, the younger Mr. Flynn, 33, went on Twitter to say that until “Pizzagate” was proved false, it remained a story.

Even the pope talked about media's problems with exaggerated and false stories. Here was I found today: www.mediaite.com/online/it-is-a-sin-and-it-is-hurtful-pope-francis-warns-media-about-spreading-fake-news/Per Reuters, the Pope spoke with Tertio, a weekly Belgian Catholic publication, and actually brought up coprophilia while talking about tabloids and and other media outlets more concerned with scandal than news. “I think the media have to be very clear, very transparent, and not fall into – no offence intended – the sickness of coprophilia, that is, always wanting to cover scandals, covering nasty things, even if they are true,” he said. “And since people have a tendency towards the sickness of coprophagia, a lot of damage can be done.” He also had the following to say about the press being “tempted by slander” and “defamation,” specifically when it comes to the political world.
