The media bias against him was pernicious. I saw no evidence of that. In fact, I feel that the media was instrumental in getting this turd bathed in cheetoh, elected as President.

Foghorn Leghorn January 28, 2017 Share January 28, 2017 Poppy Harlow is on my last nerve badgering her guests with question after question then she won't allow them to answer, she is letting this get way too personal! 1 Link to comment
BuckeyeLou January 29, 2017 Share January 29, 2017 I think Poppy Harlow is doing a good job of trying to mediate among her guests, she just had a young man on who had served with the US Military in Iraq & Afghanistan and who was speaking about the Iraqi Interpretor who had been detained at JFK airport. He said how outrageous this is! This man had helped the US Military for 10 years and his life was in danger by remaining in Iraq. CNN is showing the crowd getting larger at JFK and now protests are breaking out at other airports around the US. UGH...Trump knows nothing about the vetting process, like this young man said, for this Man to work for the US Military he had to be carefully vetted, and yet now they act like they are dangerous. 5 Link to comment
stormy January 29, 2017 Share January 29, 2017 (edited) The only thing Poppy shows that isn't sad or scary is when she shows clips of fatty talking. What kind of a president describes things as fantastic, beautiful and terrific. Poppy had a report she did interviewing trump voters in Kentucky. The all agreed that there's no way to know if 3-5 million illegal votes were cast and want him to move on. Interesting that he's not talking about it anymore. Too busy signing executive orders. And then I have to turn off Poppy because on comes Jeffrey Lord to talk BS about trump being a hero. Edited January 29, 2017 by stormy 6 Link to comment
Macbeth January 29, 2017 Share January 29, 2017 Really CNN you ended your coverage of the protests across the country so you can run a tired show on the 80s. I understand a major car company was sponsoring, so priorities. MSNBC scooped you on the stay issued by a federal judge in New York - putting the brakes on Trump's racist order. Go back to sleep. 11 Link to comment

Instead, he talked about 9/11 and how courageous Trump was for keeping danger from America's doorstep (or beach).

It would've been (typical) Jeffrey Lord ignorance if he had said something like that, since the boy (Aylan Kurdi) and his extended family were hoping to make their way to an aunt living in Canada. The boy's uncle was denied refugee status due to the sickening policies of that prize Tory twit, Harper (which became an issue in the recent Canadian election). But even if Lord had tried, I think Poppy Harlow would've called him out on floating lies -- excuse me, alternative facts -- in that segment because she was not happy with his baroque rambling to begin with. (Not that the truth ever stopped Lord from bloviating like an addled fool on every single CNN panel he's been on -- as far as I'm concerned, it's practically his damn trademark -- but I think she would've shut him down if he'd gone there.)

I think it's fine to discuss this issue - as it relates to programming being aired - but in the future, please skip the pictures. They aren't necessary to get the point across.

shok February 1, 2017 Share February 1, 2017 32 minutes ago, stormy said: I missed the Nancy Pelosi town hall with Jake Tapper. Anyone? I watched it. I wasn't going to because as much as I admire Pelosi for all she's accomplished, I don't enjoy her interviewing style...too much stuttering and trembling voice, but I was about to leave the room when I heard the first question and stayed to hear her answer and ended up watching it all because she did really well. She didn't hold back on criticizing Trump and the Republicans and was strong and coherent on what the Dems have to do. Don't know if the crowd was supposed to be moderate or a mix of both party supporters but she got a goodly amount of applause for many of her answers, especially any of them that dissed Trump. I think all the protests and the many thousands of protesters that have hit the streets have really pumped up the Dems and given them a wind at their back. I've heard a number of them now sounding strong and enthusiastic. 9 Link to comment
potatoradio February 1, 2017 Share February 1, 2017 Are the town hall shows new? I really appreciate a show that focuses on any other aspect of government besides the presidency, because he needs no more attention. I vastly prefer to see other politicians get some exposure. I thought Pelosi seemed off - still a bit shellshocked and trying to get her bearings - but I appreciated the chance to hear from her directly and I think having town halls like this, with voters from both sides, could potentially go a long way to beginning discussions that might bring us to rally around common pain points. I actually watched the town hall instead of Maddow, because I don't need any more tea leaf reading on what the S.C. nom might mean for "both sides." I know what it means. I also like the idea of Cruz/Sanders debating Obamacare and would tune in for that. 5 Link to comment

slensam February 2, 2017 Share February 2, 2017 I just saw the end of the commercial for the Cruz v Sanders thing and they seem to be presenting this as Debate Night in America. What that tells me once again is that CNN can not give up the ghost on this election season. They have that in common with Trump I guess. Also they've chosen the most independent characters in both parties for this "debate". Link to comment
Foghorn Leghorn February 2, 2017 Share February 2, 2017 I think CNN has dropped in ratings because the election is over and Trump has frozen them out with the exception of they guy yesterday, other than that they have to rely on town halls, debates and even other reporters giving news to them....

stormy February 6, 2017 Share February 6, 2017 On The Situation Room this afternoon Wolf had a long segment with Kathleen Rice D NY. She's very knowledgeable and thoughtful and made excellent points about why pretty much everything a president says and does is so beyond trump's grasp. It's hard to believe that two weeks in he still shows up in front of troops today and bashes the press. Rep Rice said she hopes he'll settle in and basically act the way we expect a president to act. I just doubt it. I tnink he'll just get bored and more bat shit crazy. He's clueless and when he finds out what POTUS really means he'll throw tantrums cause he can't get his way. 7 Link to comment
