quote:

CNN—the network that allowed anchor Brooke Baldwin to falsely smear Breitbart News as the “most prominent platform” for the “Nazi salute” and enabled New York Times columnist Charles blow just a few weeks ago to falsely defame Breitbart News as the home of “Neo-Nazism”—reportedly fired outspoken pro-Trump contributor Jeffrey Lord on Thursday for mocking Nazis and fascists with a “Sieg Heil” tweet. Lord directed his tweet at a Media Matters activist who is trying remove Sean Hannity from the airwaves and has called for Lord’s firing in the past. Lord had just written an article denouncing groups like Media Matters who try to suppress free speech.


Right now they are erasing him from all records

When he said JFK was weak during the Cuban Missile Crisis that might have done it too.

ETA: scratch that, that was Roger Stone.

Who is saying otherwise, moron?

Doesn't mean they are beyond criticism.

I mean if you want to fire, fire him, but saying you're firing him because he was legitimately putting out pro-Nazi sentiments with his "Sieg Heil" tweet is fricking laughable. Give me a break.

That man deserves so much props for being outnumbered on panel EVERY single day for 2 yrs defending trump which is literally almost unthinkable and impossible haha.

I watched CNN so much during the primaries and early on in the general and could not believe the shite he had to endure. I mean van jones on your left every night foaming is ridiculous enough.

I was looking for some quote that Jeff Zucker said that they were "the truth" over MSNBC and Fox News, but then I came across this quote of Van Jones defending Lord:

quote:

Van Jones told me that he thinks (Jeffrey) Lord has played a valuable role at CNN, helping its viewers understand the Trump phenomenon. “He’s a Trump translator, really, for the whole country,” Jones said.


Then the article goes on to say this about Jones and Zucker:

quote:

If that's the truth, then maybe Van Jones is no better than Lord, or any other opportunist whose worldview has been thoroughly distorted by a paycheck from CNN. Jeffrey Lord is a liar and a racist.

He's the token conservative on evening CNN. He does a pretty good job.

This post worships the almighty capital business. How about calling out businesses and telling them what they're doing is highly unethical and you need to change? But no, who cares when they make money? They have no responsibility because they make money. You find with this with with all these retards here defending Google and YouTube.

These people every time they open their mouth, you are morally obligated to rip tongue out, and say they're betraying everything they claim to represent. MSNBC doesn't, because at least they're honest about their bias. But CNN should silenced until they get honest with us about who they are, and this especially goes for Google and YouTube.

I'm convinced multiple posters would defend a company partaking in slave trade. "Hey, they bought the slaves with the almighty dollar fair and square. Private business, they can do what they want."

A lot of posters claim to be for democracy, but they're not. They're for oligarchy and in some cases theocracy. I really think that a very large portion of this board are oligarchists.
