Civil War at CNN as "Journalist" Christina Amanapour Attacks CEO Chris Licht for Daring to "Platform" the Front-Runner for the Republican Nomination for President
My Conclusion: Licht is a Dead Man Walking
But this is a news organization, right?
CNN staffers have been in a "fury" since the Trump townhall. In fact, they were angry about it even before Trump exposed Kaitlin Collins as a callow, hollow leftwing sloganeer.Chris Licht gave Oliver Darcy -- CNN's Replacement Potato who now "covers the media" -- a dressing down for that that left him "shaken." Cry-sis Actor Michael Fanone was girlishly distressed about the Townhall, and, channeling the Ghost of Donkey-Chompers, claimed Trump "tried to kill me."
CNN is facing a "a fury of criticism" from its own employees for airing a town hall with former President Donald Trump on Wednesday, according to the network's own media reporter. "It's hard to see how America was served by the spectacle of lies that aired on CNN," Oliver Darcy wrote in CNN's "Reliable Sources" newsletter. Trump, the frontrunner in the 2024 Republican primary, sparred with CNN's Kaitlan Collins over his ongoing claim that the 2020 presidential election was "rigged," the Jan. 6 Capitol riot and the recent verdict that found him liable for defamation and battery against his accuser E. Jean Carroll, whom he continued railing against to the amusement of some supporters in the audience. "CNN aired it all. On and on it went. It felt like 2016 all over again," Darcy complained. "Collins was put in an uncomfortable position, given the town hall was conducted in front of a Republican audience that applauded Trump, giving a sense of unintended endorsement to his shameful antics."
CNN's Michael Fanone is shooting inside the tent, blasting his employer for offering a platform to former President Trump and accusing CNN honchos of sacrificing "journalistic integrity" for ratings. Fanone, a former D.C. police officer who was injured during the Jan. 6 riot, is now a paid CNN contributor. He penned a scathing opinion piece for Rolling Stone headlined, "CNN Is Hosting a Town Hall for a Guy Who Tried to Get Me Killed," as the network is set to air a primetime town hall with the former president. "I woke up last week to a text from my mother. Its contents hit me like a sucker punch. 'CNN is hosting a town hall with Trump; Kaitlin Collins is moderating,'" Fanone wrote to kick off the piece. "WTF!!!"This tattooed fairy was a police officer? Licht almost certainly meant the dressing-down of the effeminate Oliver Darcy to warn the rest of CNN's Gonzo Liberal staffers to stop arguing that a major presidential candidate shouldn't be "platformed." It is speculated that Licht himself leaked the story of this dressing down to CNN's hated rival Fox, just to let everyone at CNN know it's time to move on. But it's not working. CNN personnel are not afraid of Licht, and are continuing to attack Licht for "platforming" the most likely Republican nominee for president. And they're not afraid of Licht, which means they don't expect Licht to remain in a position to punish them.
Repulsive hag propagandist Christina Amanpour publicly attacked Licht at an event at Columbia "Journalism" School:
She flew in from London to give Licht a dressing-down.
The public outcry by CNN staffers about the network's Trump town hall has only gotten louder with veteran journalist Christiane Amanpour calling out her boss Chris Licht by name during a commencement speech given to the 2023 graduates of the Columbia Journalism School, describing the televised event as an "earthquake." "I have always opted to speak out when staying silent might have been easier," Amanpour said to the graduates Wednesday before telling them, "So right now in this moment, for me personally, I want to do what's right, and empathize with and acknowledge all those who need to trust us at CNN, the most trusted name in news." Amanpour revealed that she met with Licht at CNN's New York headquarters after flying in from London to "hear from him firsthand what he'd been thinking," which led to a "very robust exchange of views" between the two.
"My management believes they did the right thing, a service to the American people. Some reports have written about important new thoughts and things that we learned from Trump's very mouth that night... Time could very well prove that Trump's electroshock therapy to the world jolts the undecided into greater awareness," Amanpour said.
Amanapour is saying that the only way putting the likely Republican nominee on TV and interviewing him is acceptable is if that interview succeeds in destroying him. If it doesn't destroy him, then interviewing that newsworthy figure is a betrayal of "journalism" -- which is now defined sub rosa as simply leftwing political propaganda.
"For me, of course, the fact that the American people voted three times against Trump and Trumpism- 2018, 2020, 2022- also speaks volumes. We've done our duty. We have told the story. We have put that in everybody's awareness and people have had the opportunity to make their choices and they have done."Again, "our duty" consists of animating the public to vote against the people we don't like. She's straight-up saying that it is the "duty" of "journalists" to get Democrats elected. Or, in Joe Biden's case: "Elected."
The "journalist" Amanpour then endorses the Cabal of Leftwing Media Elites simply deciding who will be the president:
She continued, "I still respectfully disagree with allowing Donald Trump to appear in that particular format," which sparked applause from the audience...
In other words: Maybe the best "journalism" consists not of reporting the news, but of actively suppressing the news. It's not shocking that leftwing propagandists think this; it is, however, surprising that they are now so confident in their Cult Doctrine that they are openly admitting it.
"The American press and maybe the world's press still hasn't learned how to deal with or cover Donald Trump. Maybe we should revert back to the newspaper editors and TV chiefs of the 1950s, who in the end refused to allow McCarthyism onto their pages unless his foul lies, his witch hunts and his rants reached the basic evidence level required in a court of law," Amanpour suggested. "So maybe less is more. Maybe live is not always right.
They are edited precisely to destroy the person the media wishes to destroy and make the bubble-headed weakminded "journalist" appear to be the masteful hero. Every single time we see a "journalist" attempt to destroy a target live, the "journalist" winds up badly embarrassed. As we just saw with that BBC "journalist" attempting to gotcha Elon Musk, having done zero homework or preparation. "Journalists" are not just dumb and emotionally juvenile. They're also incredibly lazy. By the way -- the media has been attempting Amanpour's strategy of choosing the president against the will of the voters for forty fucking years now. She's angry now that it isn't working as expected, and is demanding even more bias and censorship.
... She further argued that some of the most "compelling" interviews "are, in fact, taped," insisting that they are edited "not to change the context or the content, or the truth, or the intent, but to edit for filibuster and a stream of disinformation."
The "truth" is always just what the leftwing "journalist" -- almost all "journalists" are extremely bitter partisans for the hard left -- believes it is.
Amanpour also shared her "mantra" with the Columbia graduates to "be truthful, but not neutral," telling them "Both-siderism--on the one hand, on the other hand -- is not always objectivity. It does not get you to the truth."
Yes, the real news here is that Darcy attacked Licht already, and got yelled at by Licht. But now he's attacking his CEO again. Darcy might have been "shaken" by his dressing down, but apparently his leftwing friends at CNN have stood him back on his feet and sent him into battle against Licht again.
"Inside CNN, Amanpour is far from alone in her views. In private, the town hall has been widely criticized by employees at all levels across the organization. Some of these employees believe that Trump wasn't worthy of a town hall platform after leading the insurrection on the U.S. Capitol and continuing to spew dangerous lies about the 2020 election. Others believe that it was a worthy endeavor to confront him, but that the event was poorly executed," Darcy wrote. Notably, CNN's "emotional" media reporter chose to lead his newsletter with Amanpour's remarks rather than the network's announcement that Collins will officially fill the long-vacant 9 p.m. ET timeslot, placing it the "Below The Fold" section.
And Darcy continued to undermine Licht's judgment as CNN's leader.Darcy is a nasty little serpentine coward, and would not be this bold in attacking Licht unless he believed that Licht's days are numbered, and CNN personnel will continue attacking him until Discovery Warner's management fires him. And I do think he will be fired. What's the alternative? You'd have to fire all of CNN's ratings-gold talent -- Jake Tapper, Anderson Cooper, Christina Amanpour, "Poppie" Harlow... why, you can't just fire that kind of Murderer's Row of charisma and journalistic excellence! But seriously, if the CEO is telling his personnel to stop attacking the management and they are openly defying him, and he's not responding by firing their asses -- that means he has lost the confidence of his bosses and he will soon be fired. And then CNN can go back to openly being the hard-left Democrat Party Animal House they want to be. They'll probably wind up re-hiring Jeff Zucker. Or maybe their new CEO will be... Keith Olbermann.
Far from it. He intends to get Licht fired.
CNN viewership has fallen off a cliff since the polarizing town hall. The ratings-challenged network managed 2.3 million primetime viewers last Wednesday for the event that irked Darcy, but shed 77% of that audience the following evening when only 538,000 primetime viewers tuned in. As Darcy noted, CNN's primetime viewership sunk even further to an average of 335,000 on Friday. It was reported by Semafor that after Licht summoned Darcy to confront his overzealous coverage of the town hall, the reporter "wondered to colleagues whether he should resign or if he will be fired by the network." A spokesperson for CNN told Fox News Digital "Oliver does not intend to resign."
...Yes, Licht is gone. CNN will be openly a neoliberal Democrat Party mouthpiece. That's Jake Tapper's idea of "objectivity."
"In all my reporting on CNN over the last 18 months... I have never felt such an overwhelming sense of frustration and resentment toward Licht as in the week since the town hall, and never from such a broad range of sources, more than 40 of whom I've spoken with in recent days. The Amanpour speech and the Darcy newsletter are merely the most diplomatic and nuanced articulations of those sentiments. In private, they are far more passionate and explicit--emotional, you might say," Puck News' Dylan Byers wrote Wednesday.

the left is hinting that they think Kaitlin Collins is a lightweight who failed but she's A Stronk Empowered Woman so they're not allowed to say that openly. Amanpour actually slighted her in her speech; I cut that out because it wasn't the most interesting thing to me.

CNN's main objective wasn't to be in control of the town hall. They have been in a terrible format for years. Hunting ratings from the far right blew up in their face.
Amanpour has self-respect...therein lies the difference. I watch her show regularly, via PBS, and she's thorough, smart, and wise.
Amanpour is an international treasure, but not even she can save CNN. Best thing she can do is leave that Godforsaken place.

well they'll put on the likes of Chris Sununu, who is yet another Republican who chants the Democrat hymnals, but yes, otherwise, the logic is 100% to deplatform any actual Republican.
It's like with Alex Jones-- he was just the test case for deplatforming. They always intended to expand the concept to all right-of-center-speakers once they got the RINOs to agree to the Jones deplatforming.
And National Review will go along with CNN's deplatforming of Trump and keep pretending they're not coming for every other real conservative next. Of course, given that NR is not a conservative outlet at all, they may be aware of this, and just straight-up agree with the plan to deplatform all of *their* competitors on the right.

She would start off asking us a question that anyone who read the Cliff's Notes would be able to answer. And then after we got it correct, she would ask follow-up questions that only someone who actually read the book would be able to answer.
I was busted on that one time and learned my lesson and never took the Cliff's Notes shortcut again.

I wonder if they've concluded this is a fatal hit below the waterline, and they're not going to be able to recover, at least not to anything like the market size they once enjoyed. Might as well sell off what they can and use the money elsewhere.

And the converse is pretty much true as well: virtually all foreign countries, including Canada, get most of their news about America from "CNN International" -- which is even worse than their domestic demon cousins -- and one of the reasons most of the rest of the world hated Trump, which is how they propagandized against him.

See, that's the problem. Everything is now seen through the MSM filter. I think the last legitimate repoprting was the Adghanistan withdrawal and that was a disaster for the administration. Now we don;t get to see actual video to judge for ourselves. Think about how unbelievably limited our view of the Ukraine situation is. No reporting from either side ofhow the war is going. It could be completely faked and we would have no idea. I'm pretty sure astronauts landed on the moon, but wouold not be surprised if the war was totally CGI and the powers that be were just pocketing the money.

I don't think it's very surprising given where we are in the progression. They no longer have to pretend to be a free press. They're open, naked propagandists and they don't care who knows it now.

As a social conservative, we make the same mistake by trusting politicos to do the work for us that libs did in making SCOTUS do their work for them. The way to win hearts and minds is to do the hard work of arguing your case personally.
Regarding the red wave that wasn't, I lay that on the feet of Lindsey Graham. By going on any show that would have him on and talking about passing a national law on abortion - which Dobbs specifically said was not a good, or constitutional idea - he purposely kneecapped Republicans running for office. I bet he did that on the orders of McConnell. As a lawyer, he knew it was unconstitutional.

The Onomasticon compiled by Eusebius of Caesarea (more properly, On the Place-Names in the Holy Scripture, Περὶ τῶν τοπικῶν ὀνομάτων τῶν ἐν τῇ Θείᾳ Γραφῇ, Peri tōn topikōn onomatōn tōn en tē Theia Graphē, in Greek) is a directory of place names, or "gazetteer", a primary source that provides historical geographers with a contemporary knowledge of early 4th-century Palestine and Transjordan. It sits uneasily between the ancient genres of geography and lexicography, taking elements from both but serving as a member of neither.[1] It is, according to many, the most important book for the study of Palestine in the Roman period.[2][3][4]

So cynical. The guy is clearly committed to banning abortion nationwide, which is why he has brought it up exactly *checks notes* zero times since the election. D'oh!

I suspect its more that Licht is the boss making calls, and the people who don't like it realize that they are media types and have a big megaphone to complain about it with.
Licht has to be realizing at this point that there are a bunch of people that can be eliminated. It is super easy to replace news people, there are like 400 local news folks to pick from. Choose some and dump these idiots.

Graham and the larger GOP stole defeat from the jaws of victory with Dobbs. They fucked the pig. But I still think the red wave that turned into a red puddle was the result of fraud in the key races. AZ and PA for 100% sure.
GA probably too, but there the dynamics were different. There was a somewhat popular incumbent Senator challenged by a sports legend. I do think Walker could have pulled it off -- and maybe he did -- but there's no denying he kept stepping on his dick on several issues, especially on abortion.

PDT can put about 2 to 3 million people in front of the tube.
Hell, a 3 night schedule over 3 weeks discussion of 3 topics, economy, peace, and immigration would pull in 12 to 15 million.

Former First Lady Michelle Obama’s touted health drink Plezi would fail the health standards set by the Obama administration, a new Bloomberg report found.
After discussing with 12 independent health professionals and organizations, the news organization found that Plezi’s current flavors released earlier this month would not meet the requirements to be served at elementary and middle schools.

But do you really see any political solution to outlawing gay marriage moving forward?
To me, it’s the same with abortion. You really think there’s gonna be a national law outlawing it? Or if that’s even constitutional? So why lose votes over it?
I think you can have a “conservative” position of once States decide this, it’s settled law. That wa ls always the promise of getting rid of roe. Voters would decide.

I have spent some time thinking and studying about this, and have come to the conclusion that leftists are pretty much constantly worried and scared and upset. They are completely buried in a misery of their own imagination from global warming to food deserts to systematic racism to looming nazi threat, etc.
Every day its a new crisis that piles on more and more and makes them more miserable and depressed and panicked, and the worst part is that they know they cannot by themselves fix any of these mythical problems.
So they evangelize constantly, trying to create groups and movements and organizations that can work together to Fix Everything by their hopes and dreams and protests and Voting Correctly.
To make matters worse, too many especially of the younger sort believe they can "manifest" reality by doing the Right Things and "The Universe" will respond in good Karma by making it happen.
But it keeps not happening.

I guess it depends on why you do things and what you believe is the proper course of action. Democrats don't give a single crap how popular their ideas are. Republicans are constantly bound up with terror that someone might not support something they promote.
If its the right thing to do, you do it. You don't wring your hands and fret over how it might be received.

That's what happens when a political movement degenerates into a cult. Having abandoned God as their guarantor of cosmic justice, they have elevated Government in tis place. Having abandoned scripture, they have elevated their political dogmas. Having abandoned belief in a paradise beyond this life, they have convinced themselves that they can vote themselves into an Earthly paradise right now.
The mirage dragging them deeper into the desert does so mercilessly, and they claw onward and onward, further into despair, not realizing that their goal is nothing more than an illusion conjured out of their own imagination.

And what is worse, I think that deep down they know this. And it makes them miserable, and angry, and frustrated. The world keeps not being what they believe and want it to be. And instead of going "you know what? Maybe we're wrong" they instead blame everyone else, doubling down on their failure.
Its white people. Its Christians. Its the patriarchy. ITS NOT MEEEEEEEEE!!!

The hag Amanpour and the other liberal activists on the CNN payroll are speaking out publicly because they are losing clout and credibility. They know it, and they hate it, and they don’t know what to do about it.
CNN may well be truly fucked, as Breitbart’s Nolte has explained more cogently and succinctly than you, but unless the mindset of the real owner of CNN (John Malone) has changed (and there is no evidence of that) the hag and all the others are simply throwing a massive tantrum.
We will see who gets thrown off the sinking CNN dingy next. I don’t think it will be Licht.
By the way, your precious Meatball (BiteMe) Ron is continuing to make a flaming joke of himself. He’s telling donors and an embedded NY Times reporter to vote for me because I am “electable” — sure, the staple of stage managed RINOs for decades.
Pathetic dumb ass that Meatball (BiteMe) Ron.
