CNN, yes CNN, Had Larry Elder on and It Was Disgusting / Shocking What He Offered Up - Truly a Pig



When you hear those deeply spoken words "...This is CNN", you don't expect to see this kind of trash on television from the likes of Larry Elder. I don't think the news hosts were even ready for it, but that awkward ending sure speaks volumes about whether CNN is going to be presenting NEWS during the election, or simply spouting GARBAGE in order to get ratings. Makes me fear for this election cycle, with all the networks looking to profit big-time on anything that generates controversy, increased viewership or gotta-watch shock-journalism.

Wendy couldn't believe it either. Elder is truly a pig. Unfortunately Trump surrounded by a pig sty full of 'em.

trash on television" Sorry but I do. CNN is a tool of the Oligarchy. They love Trump, they love Clinton just like Goldman-Sachs and the Koch Bros.

CNN is the new Fox News.

I don't watch it much, but now am seeing more and more of what you are talking about. No doubt trying to out-Fox FoxNews is going to be their goal

Anita Hill worked with Clarence Thomas in the Department of Justice Civil Rights Division. When Thomas was nominated for the US Supreme Court, Anita Hill came forward and reported that Clarence Thomas had sexually harassed her on the job.

The right wing media branded her as a "nut" and a "slut".

The strategy worked, and Clarence Thomas sits on the US Supreme Court today.
