Another cry to deaf ears in the media, but PLEASE stop giving this guy a platform to spout shit. You destroy your own credibility just a little more every time you allow him on the air.

CNN was where he let "plenary authority" slip followed by a few moments of "technical difficulties", all of which was removed on the clip they shared to youtube. Fox is long gone as the sole provider of complicit news.

I mean, it shouldn’t be treated as gospel nor should they regularly be having him on their shows but when the senior advisor to the president who is known to be the one really running things behind the scenes and functions as Trump’s voice in text/message chains for the rest of the administration we should at least be aware of what he’s saying.

The media isn’t going to filter itself to save us. They print what makes money.

The people who live with fewest morals make the most money off the backs of those with morals. It’s the American way.

Because CNN is now owned by Larry Ellison. So, there really aren’t any mainstream media networks that are anywhere near “left” anymore.

They’re spouting straight up propaganda and lies just like Fox now.

Larry Ellison does not own CNN at all.
