CNN: The Daily Noise and What's Left of Its Credibility
Generated Title: Is CNN's "Normal" Just Another Word for "Propaganda"?
Alright, so Bari Weiss—whoever the hell that is—apparently has "ideas" for CNN. Saturday night debates in front of a live audience? Give me a break. Is this supposed to be entertaining? News? Or just another excuse for people to scream at each other on TV?
The "Normal" News Fantasy
Weiss wants to shut out voices like Hasan Piker and Tucker Carlson to elevate "normal" voices like Alan Dershowitz to debate the NRA on guns. "Normal"? Last time I checked, normal people aren't routinely invited onto national television to spew their garbage takes. They're, you know, working, raising families, trying to survive. This isn't about "normal"; it's about controlling the narrative.
The media consolidation is what really has me worried. I mean, one person dictating the news for multiple networks? That's not journalism; that's an oligarchy with a microphone. And the idea that this CBS News overhaul, putting Weiss on top, was done to make Trump happy? Please. It's like we're living in some kind of bizarre alternate reality where the news is just another branch of the government.
The National Guard Shooting Mess
Then there's this whole mess with the National Guard shooting suspect. Apparently, his asylum application was approved by the Trump administration. The guy comes from Afghanistan under Biden's "Operation Allies Welcome" program, but Trump's people signed off on his asylum? What the hell is going on here?
CNN's John Miller says the guy "must have done work either for or with the United States in Afghanistan." Must have? That's the best they've got? No details, no specifics, just vague speculation. It's like they're trying to spin this thing without actually knowing what happened. According to Trump Administration Reportedly Approved National Guard Shooting Suspect’s Asylum Application: CNN, the suspect's asylum application was approved during the Trump administration.
And let's be real, this whole "vetting process" they keep talking about... how thorough can it really be? Are we just letting anyone in offcourse?
Kaitlan Collins's Laughable "Courage"
And then we have CNN's Kaitlan Collins, supposedly "calling out" Trump for going after Democrats who dared to disagree with him. Angering the president isn't illegal? No duh. But let's not pretend Collins is some kind of journalistic hero here. She's doing her job, barely.
The Republicans put out a video saying the same thing as the Democrats, and Collins acts like she's uncovered some grand conspiracy. Give me a break. It's all just political theater, folks. CNN news, fox, fox news, msnbc—they're all playing the same game.
So, What's the Real Story?
It's all a joke. Weiss's "normal" is just another flavor of propaganda. The National Guard shooting is a clusterfuck of incompetence and political spin. And Kaitlan Collins is just another talking head playing her part in the charade. The news ain't news anymore; it's just noise.
