For weeks, Washington and NYC insiders have been breathlessly reporting about the fears of CNN employees who are concerned that their leftist kingdom will be radically changed after the purchase of Time Warner (the parent company of CNN) by Paramount Studios. These media insiders have deluded themselves into believing that CNN is the only backstop standing firm against a right-wing take over of the news media.
It is ironic that while CNN insiders were wringing their hands in worry, they gave the world evidence that their reporting has fallen victim to the woke agenda that has caused Americans to turn the channel.
Recently, in NYC, some right wing activists were holding an anti-Muslim demonstration outside the NYC Mayor’s mansion. Two Muslim terrorists approached the protestors and hurled explosive devices towards the protestors. The terrorists shouted “Allahu Akbar” as they tossed the homemade explosives that, fortunately, failed to detonate.
This is where the university educated news team at CNN showed their biases to the world. Instead of reporting that the two terrorists attempted to harm the demonstrators, the CNN loonies fabricated a hoax that the terrorists were attempting to assassinate the Muslim mayor of NYC. Why would these reporters come up with this obviously ludicrous story? Because they believe that all Muslims are victims and the only terrorists are the Israelis who have invaded Palestine.
CNN could not help themselves so they continued to spew forth this obvious misinformation. Another CNN Senior reporter was discussing how Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro was the victim of an assasination attempt when someone attempted to set fire to the Governor’s Mansion while the Shapiro family was asleep inside. This was obviously a serious attempt on the lives of the Shapiro family. Incredibly, the CNN Senior reporter compared the “non-attack” on Mandami to the attack on the Shapiro family. How could any semi-intelligent reporter have believed that Mandami was the intended target of the attack on the right wing protestors? The only way the reporter could believe this misinformation was that the whole career of the reporter was built on presupposing that Muslims are peace loving people who are innocent victims of all violence in the Middle East and in America.
Just imagine if a group of blacks were protesting in front of the White House and a member of the Klu Klux Klan threw a hand grenade at the group. Would CNN report that the Klan member was attempting to harm President Trump?
I think not.
CNN continued to spew this made up propaganda until it became so embarrassing that they were forced to issue a weak correction. This was a perfect example of how many leftists news organizations have an agenda and they attempt to shape stories to fit their biases.
Incredibly, CNN doubled down on this lunacy. CNN must not have many fact checkers because they issued the following tweet: “Two Pennsylvania teenagers crossed into New York City Saturday morning for what could’ve been a normal day enjoying the city during abnormally warm weather,…but in less than an hour, their lives would drastically change as the pair would be arrested for throwing homemade bombs during an anti-Muslim protest.”
Again CNN was forced to withdraw this tweet because their tweet made it seem that the two terrorists were just out for a day in the sunshine and somehow were forced to throw explosive devices at people with whom they disagreed. This is the leftist mainstream media in America today.
The mainstream media has lost the trust of much of the American public. CNN has allowed itself to be corrupted by leftist reporters and the executives do not even see what is plain to the public. Hopefully, the merger that is planned between Paramount and Time Warner will allow reputable journalists to reform CNN and make it the trustworthy organization that was originally created by Ted Turner.
