1. Sexist crap. They did it with Hilary by throwing out thing like how "shrill Hillary was, and how

angry she always looked” in 2016, and of corse they joined the pack to say the “ email investigation was reopened”, which was a lie, and then for a week before the election had every right wing pundit trotting across the screen propagating that le

Never did they characterize any republican candidates in 2016 as shrill or angry all the time

The press has a problem with strong females in leadership roles, and in my view they are showing their sexist colors

However, let’s assume the story is accurate, then their are people in the WH actively sabotaging this administration by spewing this crap to the media, and if true, whoever is doing that needs to be given their walking papers. We need team players, who work and help each other, not back stabbed

Also, in any presidency the VP doesn’t have a large presence to the public, so WTF is CNN trying to say?

7. Elizabeth Warren too.

But I don't think media was the worst.

We'd been assured for years by "progressives" that they would totally vote for her, but when she actually ran for president it was immediately negative: she was shrill, know-it-all, school marm, said she was capitalist to her bones and that evidently erased her progressive record and made her "establishment," Pocahontas, etc. Overnight. I think she was probably surprised. Also surprised to be accused of being a liar on TV.

14. I never knew what the cankles thing was about.

At least they don't go after Kamala about pantsuits. A little bit of progress.

[JohnSJ]

15. I think it is an insinuation about what they perceive as thick ankles. It is definitely sexist as

hell, and that crap is never hurled at a man

[betsuni]

17. I don't even know how they could see Hillary's ankles.

[lame54]

25. Unlikable is the word I constantly heard...

Never used to describe any other politician

[Doodley]

2. They don't actually have anything on Kamala. There is no substance.

[ratchiweenie]

24. It has nothing to do with Hillary or Kamala. They are owned by AT&T. Their CEO is a hard right

Trump supporter.

3. I have been watching less and less CNN, only a couple of shows but I am completely done now.

Will stick to BBC, Canadian News and Al Jazeera, with MSNBC nightime line up

6. Check out Amanpour and Company on pbs

[Bev54]

27. I have a hard time watching her now because I have a friend who worked

at the UN's correspondences' club in Islamabad, which Amanpour frequented, and my friend said she was extremely rude to many people. It seems to be all I think of when I see her.

28. Sadly, I've heard similar stories but I do enjoy the other people on the show.

4. The Media Owning Billionaires Don't Want Biden Raising Their Taxes

That more than anything drives their coverage.

[harumph]

19. That is the simple truth.

Boards are comprised of major shareholders and boards are people.
Powerful board members decide what rabbits their hounds are going to chase.
One need not grasp for or create complicated explanations.

[Larissa]

5. CNN figures they'll fatten their coffers with another train wreck as POTUS

They as much as admitted it when Trump got elected. I was never a regular watcher of CNN and I certainly don't watch it now. It isn't journalism/news as much as it is sucking a$$ for monetary return. It's sickening. Americans paid dearly in lives lost with Trump as president. CNN's priority is their bottom line, Americans be damned.

8. CNN chasing clickbait.

It's their lifeblood. That's what for-profit news is all about.

10. CNN thinks they can make more money pretending to be fox news

A d they just might

12. Someone once described CNN as FOX Lite...I think I can see why.

I use the CNN site as a check point on certain specific issues. I have often found some of their headlines doubtful as to the issue they were slapped on. They very much offer half the truth when it suits them.

They are Click-Bait central at times like this one. Rather like the recent dogpile MSM coverage of Afghanistan, or the border. They seem way too comfortable with false equivalence, and in this case they are going the extra mile to bash a prominent female Democrat, now a target because (Female, VP, Democrat in power) are all categories they are used to spinning for headlines, attitude, and feeding the RW beast some more meat.

Then again it just might be part of the GOP blowback threatened in response to Bannon's indictment.

In wake of Bannon indictment, Republicans warn of payback.
GOP lawmakers say Democrats, by pursuing contempt charges against a Trump ally, are paving the way for them to go after Biden aides if they retake the House in 2022.
*********************************
Many GOP leaders, however, are seizing on Bannon’s indictment to contend that Democrats are “weaponizing” the Justice Department, warning Democrats that they will go after Biden’s aides for unspecified reasons if they take back the House majority in next year’s midterm elections, as most political analysts expect.

“For years, Democrats baselessly accused President Trump of ‘weaponizing’ the DOJ. In reality, it is the Left that has been weaponizing the DOJ the ENTIRE TIME — from the false Russia Hoax to the Soviet-style prosecution of political opponents,” Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.), the third-ranking House Republican, tweeted Saturday.

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) suggested that Republicans would seek payback if the GOP regained control of the House, signaling that in challenging the doctrine of executive privilege, Democrats were making it easier for Republicans to force Biden’s top advisers to testify before a future GOP Congress.

16. Media loves to do the Cool Kids bs with certain Democrats. Especially women but they did it with

Gore also .

They love to pick on non issues and gossip about it and spew it through their outlets .

18. Monty Python movie:"Shut up or I will hit this woman so hard"

[Blue_Adept]

20. This stuff goes back years with her unfortunately

There was a lot of it about when she was in California and there was a bunch that came up during the campaign as well.

It's still just beltway bullshit, but it's based in a history of this going on in how her offices have been managed.

[spanone]

22. Headline right now on their website ...'Harris struggles with her relationship with Biden'

[dsp3000]

23. cnn headlines since afghanistan has been doom and gloom

[mcar]

26. Did any of them even report that VP Harris was in France last week?

And had a very successful trip?

I've stopped watching CNN - and I was a daily viewer - unless something is actually going on. They have become a huge disappointment. MSNBC, with a few exceptions, is pretty much the same.
