CNN's "interview" of Jim Jordan just now was a good example of R lying

[senseandsensibility]

with no pushback. Jordan claimed to Phil Mattingly that Democrats have a "grand plan" to flood the country with undocumented immigrants.

Phil just sat there. I'm sorry, under no circumstances is that journalism. And under no circumstances would a Dem be allowed to pull that.

It's this simple, apparently. Rs can lie. Dems can not. In fact, Dems aren't even allowed to be "mean". Yesterday when Hakeem Jeffries called trump's "press secretary" a stone called liar and responded to her vicious attacks, the panel on CNN was clutching its pearls.

Some DUers have been and are asking how we got here. This is how.

1. I'm more surprised that people still watch CNN. n/t

[senseandsensibility]

2. Actually, I saw the clip on Aaron Rupar's bluesky

but I do confess to peeking at CNN occasionally.

3. That is the problem. It is a given they will lie. IT IS A DISGRACE that the MSM is AWOL.

[senseandsensibility]

4. Yes it's not just infuriating

although it is, but it is ruining our democracy.

5. MSM bears a lot of responsibility for what has befallen this country

The double standard they have toward Democrats is disgusting. I will never forget or forgive the WH press corps treatment of Karine Jean-Pierre at the end of the Biden term - the way some reporters were literally screaming at her.

Never, in Trump's 2 terms, have they acted toward his press secretaries with anything but respect.

[senseandsensibility]

6. This is worth an OP of its own

Glaring double standard. And what makes it so unbelievable is Karine did not lie or berate reporters. She was professional. So they treat the PS who does not respect them better than the one who does, and whose information is reliable. Could not be any more blatant and it should have been called out more.

[mcar]

7. Yeah, maybe if she had lied and insulted them,

they would have treated her better.

8. Outside of the show "Have I got news for you" I never watch CNN

Only FSTV and Sone MSnow and the ABC evening news which I fast forwarded the beginning yesterday about the WHCD fake attack coverage.

This is a good example why I don’t, no pushback or relaying the truth.

[mountain grammy]

9. I gave up on interview shows at least 20 years ago

The reason, exactly what you posted. I wrote letters, contacted the bosses, and called many times.

It only got worse and I got high blood pressure and gave them up for good.

10. In light of Jim's association with the

Ohio State sex scandal, he should have been asked when the Epstein files will be released, unredacted.

11. CNN didn't have much push back at the best of times, they are now just CBS all over.

12. Just wait until this little flick weasel replaces Moses Johnson as Speaker or

more likely House Minority Leader after midterms. He makes me twitch.
