OT ...Wolf fucking Blitzer (1 Viewer)

[yankeesince59]

...I realize that CNN is a major news source but Blitzer is such a cartoon

I was just watching the coverage on todays London attack and the London reporter confirmed that Prime Minister Theresa May was hurried away from The Parliament building by security and was safe...Blitzer's response?..."Well, where did they take her"? ...lol...seriously, Wolf? ...do you really expect them to actually disclose that?

...Wolf Blitzer is CNN's version of Jim Cantore.

...never watched even one minute of that show...Kardashians (sp?) either. The kind of crap they like to refer to as "reality shows" just doesn't appeal to me...nothing "real" about it.

CNN is new media entity, they haven't been a news source for quite long time. 90%+ of their stories originated from AP, Reuters and Bloomberg. This is part of their problem Ron, they outsource their news sourcing. Which means they have these talking head tools like Wolf. To Wolf's credit he does hail from the day that CNN was a respectable news organization, but that time has long past and they are nothing more than the less emotional schill for the DNC (compared to MSNBC). While Fox is the advocate network for the GOP, it has had to rely on its own news gathering capabilities because there are so few news sources globally that don't lean hard to the left.

...^^^news source/news outlets isn't the issue...I don't have a problem with CNN or ABC or NBC, or FOX, or any of the more well known outlets regardless of which way they lean. Like I've tried to explain on multiple occasions, I generally watch them all and formulate my own opinion. I don't view issues or solutions as simply being either Republican or Democratic...but instead, I focus or whether something is right or wrong, period.

...this has been noted ad nauseum.

i think we have a definition issue. to me a news source is the entity that is in fact gathering the information and formulating the facts-based story. the problem i have ron is that the alphabet soup organizations do analysis and not reporting. analysis isnt news, it isnt facts, its someones opinion. when an alphabet soup takes someone elses set of facts and selectively presents them...that also is not news, its propaganda. since the majority of of these organizations lean middle to hard left, its really difficult the ascertain what is fact vs fiction. Up until this past cycle they took advantage of the echo chamber effect where they would say hey we all pitch it the same way except fox and conservative talk radio. But that doesn't fly anymore after all the email hacks prove that the CNNs etc were complicit in schilling for the left. Heck, they even treating Bernie like a republican, lol!

if 20 sites all tell you something is wrong and one site says the opposite, but the reality is that those 20 sites are all copying off a single source that made up half the shit, and it turns out that the one source is actually the only open that did any substantive journalism, how are you getting to that conclusion? I ask because all the web sites you have been linking to do not by any normal standard, do any actual investigative reporting.

My point is that its just so damn exhausting trying to get through the bullshit to the actual facts anymore. I get that you believe you do, and congrats to you. But based on what i see you pass on, I can't see how a reasonable and rational person such as yourself rolls with that corresponding link.

...that's really all you needed to say...like I've said before, I can explain it to you but I cannot understand it for you.

...I made a very simple thread voicing my opinion about Wolf Blitzer and you decided to hijack it for your own motives and thereby making it your own personal referendum on the media in general for the umpteenth time.

...and please, just stop with your condescending holier than thou narrative that the sources you ascribe to are always 100% factual while the ones I cite are nothing but "propaganda" because that's complete nonsense and you know it.

...Please show me a link I have posted that's either false or propaganda or both...I'll wait.
