CNN ratings getting so bad, now their telling Zakaria to curse

[john1975]

I didn't realize how bad news today was until i upgraded my iphone and opened the "news" app and added a ton of random, general news feeds (cnn, msnbc, fox, bloomberg, Time etc etc etc etc)..... This was at the early part of the Presidential campaigns where they were campaigning for nominations. Quite literally, every single news feed, trending story etc was "trump bad" - like 90% of them were. All this while Hillary was evading the DOJ, destroying evidence under subpoena, lying continually about emails, destroying emails, destroying devices and so on... but it was still like 9 "trump is bad" headlines to 1 "hillary isn't so bad" headlines.

I never truly realized how fucked up the media is here. Media is biased everywhere of course and thats true across the globe. However, reporters used to serve the truth and used to be about presenting the facts. More than anything else, they ALL (except FoxNews) continually pushed a fake narrative that Hillary was winning,... everywhere, in everything. I mean this woman's trust ratings were lower than Jeffrey Dahmers on an Asian gay porn set in a 3rd world country and each news outlet kept saying "she's got this - no question about it"

News used to be news. It used to be reporting the facts. Facts today are no longer relevant if they can't be tied into a click bait headline. Reporters used to be more detective than writer. NOW, they are all a bunch of second rate jackoffs writing click bait titles and trying to fabricate and cobble a story together (true or not) to match the catchy headline.

The truly sad thing is that one of the most important facets of a free democracy is open reporting.... but now, we are regressing into something worse than Russia where media is about political agendas and the first casualty of pushing that agenda is always the truth.

[Rochard]

CNN ratings are bad because the people who tend to watch CNN are disgusted with the news. After Trump won I couldn't watch the news. I would cringe every time I heard them say his name. For the next month or so I avoided the news as much as I could.

At the same time I do not like this "constant debate" format. I want to hear the news, not have people debate the news constantly with "panels".

^^ the IQ contrast of the last 2 posts says everything you need to know about which political side is educated today, & which is not.

seriously...if you went to vocational school, you are now smarter in USA than being college grad. college is literally turning capable people into useless morons.

& nothing better reflects this fact than the liberal media, & whose dumb enough to believe them.

An interesting thing is that in my car, on satellite, there is nothing but Fox. If you try to listen to MSNBC, CNN or BBC, its all either MSNBC's "Lockdown" or whatever its called or its human interests stories that aren't formatted for radio. Meaning you hear "we arrived at the village and took a long look around..." and you have 60 seconds of dead air, thinking the radio is no longer working because all you hear is silence as the camera pans around to show something you can't see. Then there is HLN which is 90% nancy grace talking about little blond kidnapped girls in the most grating voice possible. NPR is always talking about some tribe in the Congo who weave really cool baskets our of frog skins but can't get access to European markets to lift themselves out of poverty or something retarded.

Fox is actually the only channel that is in a talk show format in all its shows or its actual news reporting and the only one you can listen to in the car. I wish liberal and other media outlets were less retarded in their efforts and could provide another view point in this area.

Your info, again, is obsolete and outdated.

Nancy Grace hasn't been on HLN since 2016

[Google Expert]

I find it hilarious when a muslim wants to tell us why the islamic world hates us.

How about a special, "get the fuck out of our country you dumb sand hahahaha"

Anyone with a towelhead name of "Fareed Zakaria" shouldn't even be in the USA, deport that fuck to the ISIS caliphate!

The funny thing is , FoxNews and CNN seemed to do a complete 180 the last 5 years.

CNN used to be the only straight up guys....And FoxNews = the super deceiptful ones.

Now it's like opposite.

uhm... yeah, my point still stands. as i said, i don't listen that channel and i explained why... so why would i know that. but congrats on pointing out that she went off the air months ago.... as if that has anything to do with anything i was saying. You really grasp for anything and everything you can, and its transparent and obvious to anyone but you, it seems.

Fareed Zakaria is an American who received his BA at Yale & PHD at Havard. He was born in India.

He identifies as secular not as a practicing Muslim.

Regardless of whatever he is, his broadcasts were always straight-up , smart, history teacher like... but now he's joined the rest of the CNN horde on "24/7 be fake and bash trump" marathon. Makes you wonder who's really running CNN at this point.. The fake-ness is beyond noticeable.

There are no Americans named Fareed. Affirmative action degrees are fucking worthless.

He's an enemy of the US. Just watch him speak for a couple minutes. He clearly hates America.

Deport his retarded ass.

[Robbie]

I believe that sooner than later Time/Warner is going to grow tired of losing money and fire whoever is in charge of CNN programming.
And then start getting rid of people like Zakaria. His big thing over the last few years is that he spoke to President Obama constantly on the phone and "advised" him.

Having a supposed "unbiased" journalist who is openly in the pocket of the President is never a good thing.
And that's part of the problem with CNN.

At least a guy like Hannity on Fox News openly states that he is NOT a journalist, but is a talk show host who is conservative.
Over on CNN and MSNBC...they never tell you that.

They present people like Zakaria and Lemon to you as if they are actual reporters...when they are clearly NOT.

I wouldn't have any problem with it if they were truthful about what they are doing instead of posing as "the news".

I saw Rachel Maddow on Bill Maher's show a couple of years ago. And they had some Republican congressman on as one of the panel.
He was talking about something and casually said that many journalists had shows that were biased towards the left...like Rachel's show.
OH MY FUCKING GOD!

She went BALLISTIC on his ass. Super angry and animated and insisted that she is NOT biased in any of her "reporting"!
I couldn't believe what was coming out of her mouth.

And the fact is...she doesn't THINK she is. She actually believes that what she says on her show is "mainstream". She doesn't see herself as to the "left" at all.

That is what I'm saying about CNN and MSNBC. They literally have no idea of what "normal" is anymore.
Normal is people who get up early and go to work to pay the bills.

They present "protestors" who are rioting in the streets as "normal" people. They present forcing some people to pay for other people's expenses as "normal". They may as well be from Mars to the real working man and woman in this country.

They just can't believe that Trump promising to cut taxes & bring back jobs won over Hillary promising to raise the hell out of taxes and no hope for jobs. They just don't understand real life anymore from their bubble.

Trump, himself, could cure cancer tomorrow and they would find a way to paint it as evil and why the world should not embrace it.

This is where they fucked up over and over again in the elections and where they are fucking up again now. Their heads are so deep in the ground chasing rabbits that they don't see the lion sitting right in front of them ready to rip out their throats.

Someone should purchase thousands of copies of "The Little Boy that Cried Wolf" and send it to every "journalist" in the Western Hemisphere.

Remember the Egypt disaster when Obama fucked that all up back in 2011? That was good ol' "patriot" Fareed Zakaria's "advice"

This is from May 2011
"On ?In the Arena? last night, CNN?s Fareed Zakaria told host Eliot Spitzer that he has been giving President Obama occasional advice as it relates to the Middle East, in particular Egypt."

CNN’s Fareed Zakaria Advising President Obama on the Middle East | TVNewser

Yeah, what a genius that Fareed Zakaria turned out to be huh?
And what an "unbiased" "reporter".

As I've said before....this is totally political biased reporting in our news media these days. And they have all stopped even trying to PRETEND that they are not in the pocket of one of the two ruling party's.
It's disgusting.

Patriot? Maybe to you.
His "advice" on the Middle East helped the Obama administration destroy all stability in THE most important Muslim country (Egypt) until the military there had to step in.

If Egypt had stayed under the Muslim Brotherhood...we could have been on the edge of WW3 by now.

well we know that'll never happen since he is intent on killing off any cancer research.


Proposed federal budget would devastate cancer research, advocates say

Trump lied and said that Ted Cruz?s father was with Oswald before Kennedy?s assassination.

Trump lied and said he was wiretapped by Obama.

Trump lied and said over 3 million fake ballots were cast in California during the 2016 presidential election.

Trump perpetuates a lot of lies to avoid being personally responsible for them.

Also, he doesn't LOOK like an American. He looks like a Paki.

Dude....

Fareed Zakaria is probably one of the smartest people on TV. He's won Peabody awards, nominated for a ton of Emmy's. He has honorary degrees from Harvard and other Universities.

Put aside any prejudice you may have and watch his show a few times. It's rather dry but its really educational. I think you may change your opinion of him.

Who cares if he was or wasn't. Irrelevant

Trump lied and said he was wiretapped by Obama.

He was Wiretapped. What's more amusing is CNN's 24/7 coverage trying to paint him as a crazy person about those claims...People should be looking more into the reasoning of why CNN is so defiantly trying to say he's wrong on this...At a time when so many other major breaking news stories should be covered. Like 3 white house Intruders during the last week. CNN obviously doesn't care about the safety of the president of the united States.

So far everything we've seen or heard says he wasn't wiretapped. But we will know more about that come Monday morning.

I bet what really happened is that the United States routinely listens in on every conversation anyone the Russian government has in the United States. This includes emails, and perhaps more importantly, what the Russian government is discussing behind closed doors. Pretty much every conversation anyone in the Trump campaign or administration had with the Russians was listened in on. Not because we put wire taps on Trump, but because we have wire taps on the Russians.

What is even more revealing is the conversations the Russians are having amongst themselves. If someone in Russian intelligence calls someone in the Russian government and details what people in the Trump campaign have said them, well.....

This is what the Trump administration doesn't understand - EVERY contact ANYONE working with or for Trump has been documented. This is will just continue to trickle out a little bit at a time.....

[john1975]

All incoming presidents are wiretapped. Mandatory, our intelligence agencies need to know everything about them...to make sure their safe to run the country.

Fuckwit,

When a US Citizen is involved in the conversation, they must immediately stop the surveillance in the absence of a warrant. You know, like they failed to do with Flynn - the recording of which was illegal and then they released the conversation, which again was 100% illegal.

But yeah, nothing to see here..... dipshit.

You're lying again.

Eavesdropping on Flynn was the legal, obvious intelligence move | TheHill

"While different minimization procedures apply depending on the legal authority under which the government conducted the surveillance, as a general matter, the procedures require that a U.S. person?s name be redacted and replaced with ?(U.S. Person)? to protect that individual?s privacy.

However, an exception to that rule is if the U.S. person?s name is necessary to understand the foreign intelligence information or assess its importance. Flynn?s identity was essential to understanding why his conversation with Kislyak was important."

Lol u seriously go for that shit? Our intelligence agencies use loopholes in the system , to spy on people each and everyday ...without 2nd guessing anything, and without warrants. They know they 'mostly' can't get caught...and if they do , the other side will never have enough evidence to prove they did anything wrong.

Local police departments even do it without warrants ...look up Stingray and other shady devices , that are in the grey area of the law...that let them do / spy as they wish. Some police depts are even mass collecting / databasing our dna , without our knowledge and even if u have no criminal record.

Well, if you are informed of what the President's policy on Egypt and the "Arab Spring" was in 2011, then you already know the wonder and genius of Fareed Zakaria's advice.

The guy doesn't live in the real world. He's very anti-USA and very much believes in a world of rainbows and unicorns.

And now CNN is so desperate for ratings that they are trying to "shock" us with cursing. And good ol' Fareed is more than willing to toss any last tiny shred of journalistic integrity (which he didn't have anyway since he was in a close friendship with the President which made him totally biased and compromised) to be "edgy" and say the word "bullshit" a bunch of times live on the air.

You know...Ted Turner is a REAL liberal. Old school style.
If he still owned CNN he would have had Fareed yanked off the air before the second "bullshit" came out of his mouth.
Knowing Turner's style...he probably would have ran on camera and punched him out himself.

These people have no integrity and no shame.

And like anything and everything that is ever "forced" and fake...this new cursing on CNN is going to fail.
People can see right through them.

They think that having Fareed Zakaria say "bullshit" will somehow make blue collar workers think "He's like Trump because he talks like us...like real people".

What a joke. Zakaria has the demeanor and appearance of what you would expect a cliche intellectual-elitist pussy to look and sound like.

What's next on CNN? Is Anderson Cooper gonna pretend to be straight and grab some pussy?

the pattern of the press is to run a story into the dirt then interview each other about the story to try and keep the 'story' alive. I stopped watching the news because almost EVERY story was trump bad. seriously rockhard what the fuck is wrong with you people, you think mrs Clinton is suddenly going to be president? you guys are definitely a bunch of tools
