You are either incredible naive (I doubt it) or disingenuous.

I believe it to be the later.

So did CNN and MSNBC. Is anyone investigating them or doing documentaries about them?

if they run off the rails with the collusion narrative, I'll be with you guys

but preemptively calling it "fake news" when they could focus on the story that appears to be true seems silly

This is why the world is laughing at you Libs and the reason for my mega gif thread.

You get called out on your dumb shite but do you learn? Hell no, you double down on stupid.
And you sheople follow along dutifully, discussing and arguing over this charade for months - not realizing, that the propaganda is doing exactly what it is intended to do - distract you from what's actually go on in the world.

But by all means, keep making new posts about it. Keep the drama alive.

It's a documentary. It's used to get people interested. If they had proof, it would be "breaking news" like the ice cream story.

Well at least you are trying to be fair. But they could not mention "collusion" once and it would be still be bullshite.

Trump's name has been linked repeatedly to Russian influence. No proof, just unnamed sources and innuendo. It is part of the democratic strategy to undermine Trump. I don't blame the democrats for that, it's their job.

But for CNN to keep it on the front burner as a story only serves to keep the story alive EVEN IF THEY DON'T SPECIFICALLY mention Trump.

But choosing this story instead of Muslim extremists, urban crime, hell even global warming; they use one of the most powerful tools available to the media: agenda setting.

The press isn't very good at changing opinions on issues. But they are very good at telling you what issues are important. And they are saying, "hey this issue that Trump is weak on and his enemies are trying to exploit? Let's keep that going!"

So have members of Congress of both parties but it's so satisfying for posters on this board to screech "deep state!"

in the video that was leaked to day, the producer confirms this, that the Russia story is good ratings

I'm not denying that CNN has no agenda, they obviously do

I just also don't fault them for pushing a story that gives them good ratings, especially if the story is factual

All except the collusion which there is no evidence of at this point. Their attempt to screw with our elections is very relevant and all except the most rabid Trumpbots believe we should find out exactly what they did and try to prevent it in the future.
