40. As an ex-CNN employee

Wed Nov 1, 2017, 02:32 PM

Nov 2017

I used to work for CNN. Back in the day, we were doing straight up news. I left years ago, and before 1996 and the start of Fox News. I actually know a couple of people that work at Fox. Some people are able to check their political beliefs at the door on the tech side. They say, hey, I'm just the director, I'm not editorial side. But those producers and anchors on Fox have a lot to answer for. They are the ones spouting this right wing crap. I always wondered how they lived with it. I figured they either did it for the money or actually believed what they were saying. Either way, it's wrong.
