Black mirror episode
SsnakeyB
So... CNN is enablish fascists by... calling them out? The thing you guys have been saying media should do? What exactly DO you people want the media to do, exactly?
It's ALMOST as if you guys are just saying shit to karma-farm from media/politically-illiterate people. ALMOST.
Kazpur81S
Oh my god
ScootiePuffJrSucks
It's almost like half of the country is actively working to destroy democracy. Almost. Almost, right?
nikkococo1998
At this point he doesn't care, "What are they going to do, charge and arrest me? Get in line"
iamnoobplzhelp
I've been saying this for years. The networks aren't left right or center, they are all $$$$. They've just divided the market.
wobblecopterrrr
ok, then why are you posting it here, obviously posting all the heinous shit trump and his cohorts hadn't worked, cable news is pretty much dead, just let it fade away.
MattBerrysLeftNut
They didn't post anything that guy said here... What are you talking about?
16KTS
That is an oof
BilboBagginslol
Why is this surprising? Didn’t you hear that CNN is and has been owned for a while now by actual extreme right wing nazis?
DemSumBigAssRidges
It's literally a term for a slave owner's "pet." Samuel L. Jackson plays one in Django Unchained. Maybe y'all didn't know that cause y'all couldn't see fuckin shit out of your masks though...
SausageStuffer
You interview two people. One says it’s raining, the other says it’s sunny. Your job isn’t to present both sides, your job is to look out the fucking window.
Nanntuckett
Corporate media like CNN treat both sides like they are equal in validity and call it unbiased. No. It’s biased when you aren’t objective and pretend “we don’t know which side is better.”
idiotsonfire
Its called false neutrality. They want to be "neutral."
AikoYori
Black man agrees with trump opinion:
Imgur: omg fascist (I totally, an imgur user, knows what that means)

Time to start making shit pies.

If you think this is some recent phenomenon then you're the reason the world has been looking at the US with a mixture of laughter and bewilderment for decades.
cAPTNcAPSLOCK
This phenomenon is not new, but not called out often enough. In the UK the BBC has perfected this as well. Giving every unhinged person an equal platform is not 'good journalism'.
wandermanspacebot
100% correct. If the "other side" is completely unhinged from reality, they do not deserve a side by side platform with normal people. CNN has been doing this shit for at least 20 years.
Youhavinagiraffe
The side by side is helpful though. It's the summarising and tidying up of their words (Trump's especially) after the fact that normalises them. Having them act like cunts live in 4k is alienating for everyone except the MAGA base who probably aren't watching mainstream news anyway
ShadyEsperanto
cable news is infotainment, plain and simple. if you're watching a show with panelists, you're there to be outraged, see other people get outraged or both. these shows have more in common with sports talk radio than they do with actual journalism
Nobody7713
In fact I'd wager that the ESPN panel shows took their inspiration from CNN and Fox.
MatrimBloodyCauthon
These are the same people who told Bill Nye "you scientists are bullying us with your facts"
However you feel about Bill Nye, the statement is insane.
Someone please correct me if I'm remembering wrong. I saw it on TV once.

Here we are in 2024 while they’re stuck in 1924.
WeylandYutaniCorp
This guy I know said "I want the US to return to the 1950's" And I asked in what way. He said, "In every way"
wyrmbear
Stuck implies they may try, have tried, or desire to get out of. They were exactly where they want to be, and they want everyone else to be there too.
mutingisforcowardsandsycophants
They're not stuck, just us, the dirt-dwelling non-shareholders.
TheOnlyUsernameLeftForFucksSake
Imgur during election season: CNN is garbage.
Imgur after election: ... and now it's back to being a valid source in arguments again.
Every. Four. Years.
Y'all are the most goldfish memory having mfers on earth. You'll rant about DailyMail not being a valid source, then a post with a DailyMail article taking shots at will be considered truth incarnate.
dontrike
Or, and this might sound crazy, 'cause you're insane, but CNN has become garbage since a Trump loving pedophile started owning it. They're still better than "We lied so much we caused a terror attack" Fox News, but CNN sucks.
MattBerrysLeftNut
CNN has been dogshit ever since it got bought by conservatives a couple years ago who immediately started pushing their agenda
idiotsonfire
See, this is what we call "dishonesty" and "being a fucking liar."
Nobody7713
CNN is garbage because its panel shows are inflammatory and not informative. Their hosts are useless. Their reporters still do real work and they print retractions when they get things wrong.
MattBerrysLeftNut
CNN is functioning exactly as designed. It got bought by conservatives a couple years ago
TheOnlyUsernameLeftForFucksSake
They've thrown softballs at politicians for over forty years. If you're just now noticing it, you're part of the problem.
MattBerrysLeftNut
Given that they got bought by conservatives recently and their reporting and messaging changed drastically, it's not surprising that people are just now souring on it.
Feralkyn
He (he is black) was trying to claim that upper-class black people will be voting Kamala Harris and blue-collar working black people will be voting Trump. He was referencing Malcom X. I don't think the issue should be racism per se, but rather the idea that blue-collar workers of ANY race should see Trump as their best option.
Because... he's the worst POSSIBLE thing that could happen to them.
magicalmysterytour
yea, it was a dumb thing to say on many levels
idiotsonfire
It isn't even necessarily what he said, its how he said it, and who he is supporting while he says it. He believes that shit.
Heisanevilgenius
As a black gay guy...
Strategicgnomer
Here's what I think humanity does. It builds a nice little community, together they solve problems and advance, the community grows because it's nice and others want to be there, they build a solid way to govern fairly and equitably, they advance, they grow too big to stay a tight community but their government is held together by norms of morality, they advance, some people learn they can use the language of morality, to convince the people that want to do awful things, that they'll allow those
Strategicgnomer
People to do awful things and pretend to be the more moral, even though they ALL know they just want to do awful things. The majority of the people being good, don't know how to be violent enough to get them back in line, so the system destabilizes, the bad actors take the system over, things get worse, the good people try to keep doing good despite the bad actors controlling things, things get worse, the bad actors have lost all semblance of morality and care only about creating a world they
Strategicgnomer
Can control to allow their bad behavior to run rampant, they fully take over, ohnoitateMYface?!?!111!, the system collapses, people form small groups to survive.... Return to page 1.
Strategicgnomer
Grossly oversimplified of course. But these cycles happen because we haven't found a stable way to govern morally indefinitely. Our systems don't even last very long and depend heavily on bad actors not feeling bold enough to just outright destroy the system of morality.
idiotsonfire
False neutrality so they don't get accused of having a bias, even though they already get accused of having a bias, so why fucking bother?
idiotsonfire
Oh, because CNN is a corporate news network and is run by a billionaire, that's why. He wants to appeal to everyone, or some BS.
PickledIdiot
So what's your solution? Don't show the other side at all? It may have good intentions now, but it sets a ridiculously dangerous precedent for later on down the road
amb1021
Nobody is owed a platform, dipshit.
HeresYourSauce
What dangerous precedent were you thinking of?
ImGoingToGoFallAsleepOnABench
...the "other side" is literal ethnonationalist fascism. No, the closest surviving ideology to fucking Nazism doesn't deserve a fucking platform.
IBuckleUplBudderCup69420
Not saying racist shit is a start or are you sooo afraid of that slippery 0.1% slope?
MapleSyrupMafia
What if we all just stop being mean to each others? Do you really want to live in such a world? /s

Answer what is the other side of calling someone a house negro?
soThatWasThat
How about bring in someone from the other side that can speak about their policies, and not the assclown bigot?
amb1021
Nah, just don't platform the asscllown bigot in the first place.
kadaeux
The problem is that particular side has no policies and a surfeit of bigots.

Tolerance is not a paradox, it is a peace treaty.
MattBerrysLeftNut
Both are apt metaphors
idiotsonfire
If they're not interested in telling the truth, you don't invite them for a debate with someone operating in good faith, that's correct.
PoorBoyChevelle
Not everyone is entitled to having thier views heard on the news. Terrence Howard says 1x1=!1 . We don't have to hear him out, we don't have to consider his point of view.
wandermanspacebot
A precedent to not showcase bigots? Pretty solid precedent.

Tolerance paradox
idiotsonfire
Tolerance isn't a moral precept, it is a peace treaty. If someone says one group of people doesn't deserve to exist or have rights--
idiotsonfire
They have broken the peace treaty and are no longer protected by its terms. Everyone else that didn't, still is.
