BASH: You and your fellow Democrats have used some heated rhetoric against the president. Do you think twice about that when something like that happens?

RASKIN: What rhetoric do you have in mind?

BASH: That he's terrible for this country and so on and so forth

3. Raskin responded elequently. Glad I don't watch that sorry excuse for a "news" network. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME

YOU HEARD SOMEONE FROM CNN or anyone in the MSM media ask the jackass in the WH or any rethug about the hate rhetoric constantly thrown out by this administration, or the news outlets?

Why isn't Bash asking the rethugs and trump about THEIR constant hateful garbage that constantly flows out of the airwaves almost 24/7.

8. David Zaslav & John Malone

Warner Discovery CEO David Zaslav and his radical right billionaire boy pal John Malone.

EVERYTHING you see on CNN...including THIS exchange...is at THEIR command. The "shift to the right," CNN becoming "Fox "News" Lite"...it's all coming from the two of them.

If you do a Google search for "David Zaslav & John Malone CNN swing to the right" you'll get these results. AND OF COURSE, the "centrist" thing is a LIE. They're not trying to bring CNN back to the "center." They're trying to steal a slice of Fox's viewership:

Following the merger of WarnerMedia and Discovery, CEO David Zaslav and major shareholder/board member John Malone have driven a shift at CNN away from being viewed as left-leaning, aiming for a more centrist or "right-leaning" approach to attract a wider audience, according to reports. Malone has publicly expressed a desire for the network to return to "non-partisan" reporting.

John Malone's Influence: Malone, a significant investor in Warner Bros. Discovery, openly stated his desire for CNN to adopt a more neutral or "journalistic" tone, moving away from what was seen as an anti-Trump, left-leaning posture.

David Zaslav's Strategy: Under Malone's influence, CEO David Zaslav has been working to reshape CNN’s image, which included hiring Chris Licht as CEO (later replaced) to reorient the network.

Network Changes: This shift, often described as a move to the center-right, resulted in the cancellation of shows like Reliable Sources and the departure of voices seen as too liberal, such as Brian Stelter.

Goal of the Shift: The overarching goal, according to reports, is to fix CNN's perceived "opinionated" journalism and create a more balanced, less "woke" network.

The "Right" Debate: While critics and some insiders say this represents a shift to the right, others characterize it as a pivot back to the political center from a previously left-leaning stance.

4. What about Trump's "heated rhetoric" against the press?

Why are they all assuming Trump was the target?

A press oriented dinner...
