Fake news isn't a left or right problem folks.

No, you're wrong! The right side is the only side trying to tell the unbiased truth!

Chico, the only news I read are actual current events that have physically happened, like that legal gun owner being shot dead in the passenger seat of a car after telling the officer he has a gun on him, exactly like the legal gun owner protocol for being pulled over states. I'm just curious as to why the NRA hasn't stood up on his behalf, normally they'd be all over any police trying to trample on a gun owners' rights.

Anyways, I apologize for trying to detract from the situation at hand. Feel free to keep attacking CNN, because I don't read them anyways. I don't read any opinion pieces, because media opinions are worth less than the keyboards they're typed on. Left/right, it doesn't matter. The goal is to get people to click, and discuss, which brings money in. As long as you keep clicking, linking, and discussing, they could care less how much shit you talk about them.

I also know you're smart enough to believe that it doesn't matter which side of the aisle you sit on, both sides are doing this. Just say it. What exactly is your end game in this argument? Or is there no end game, you just want to engage in this pointless discussion that will never solve anything.

I don't read or watch CNN directly, so I doubt they care. But threatening a person is a terrible look for any company. They deserve all the scorn they get for that one.

how did they threaten free speech? that right quarentees americans the right to say whatever they want. it says nothing about the repercussions from that right. they went to interview that kid. so what? did that mean his dad had every right to punch that reporter in the mouth?

The hold report about CNN has been disproven as "fake news".

unfortunately CNN published the threat to the entire world on the front page of their website. The snowflakes were upset at a Trump GIF. SAD!

If it upsets you so much just stop watching them.

CNN is not publishing ‘HanA**holeSolo’s’ name because he is a private citizen who has issued an extensive statement of apology, showed his remorse by saying he has taken down all his offending posts, and because he said he is not going to repeat this ugly behavior on social media again. In addition, he said his statement could serve as an example to others not to do the same.

. . .
CNN reserves the right to publish his identity should any of that change.


This is certainly a threat from a mega corporation (in this case a media organization) to silence free speech of a private citizen. There is simply no excuse to blackmail anybody's right to free speech.

The jackass that created the meme doesn't want to be outed as the racist he is.
I find this true of most trump supporters.

I haven't heard about it yet...just sat down. But I think out of the entire trump clan she is the most impressive.

Just read the cnn article which I had to laugh at a lil bit. It's funny how they tend to bury some facts instead of stating them promptly in the lead portion of the article which would give context.

Ivanka Trump briefly sits in for her father at G20 - CNNPolitics.com

Couple things: When other leaders stepped out, their seats were also briefly filled by others," the official added. ....throw away sentence which paraphrased means this is normal when world leaders step away an official from his delegation fills. She is an official as an advisor.

Also:Ivanka was sitting in the back and then briefly joined the main table when the President had to step out, and the president of the World Bank started talking as the topic involved areas such as African development -- areas that will benefit from the facility just announced by the World Bank," the official said, referencing a initiative Ivanka Trump has spearheaded that looks to fund women entrepreneurs.

Interesting...but leaves the reader saying which initiative? Well let's pause to bash trump and ivanka some more.... oh hear it is in the second to last sentence of the article: Ivanka, along with World Bank President Jim Yong Kim and Merkel, helped launch the World Bank-backed program that will promote women's entrepreneurship in developing countries.

Cnn is a shit news org for sure that presents information in an unclear and biased manor.

Why can't we just celebrate the fact ivanka is leading an effort to raise woman up across the world? That's worth noting and taking about.

I agree, out of the Trump clan Ivanka is probably the one I consider most level-headed. However, even if she just held the chair for a few minutes, I feel like there are other more qualified people that would have been a better pick. Of course, almost none of Trump's subordinates (besides Pence) have any solid political experience so it probably wouldn't make a difference who sits in the chair. But Ivanka doesn't hold a title, isn't held to the same standard as a politician (considering she hasn't been sworn in for any job), and basically is where she's at now because of her father. Not to mention two weeks ago she said she stays out of politics, so why is she the best choice to hold down the fort while he has better things to do?

Admittedly, there are far worse things I feel Trump has done, and like I said I doubt it makes a difference. But he lacks tact, and a feel for how things are done, and this is just the latest example.

Also I'm not going to argue on the CNN thing, I don't care about them, and neither do millennials like myself who are just concerned about making livable wages in the future. CNN might be popular with the old white liberal crowd, but they are just on the far end of the spectrum, much like Fox is with the old white conservative crowd.

I agree with 100% of everything you said!Good Post.
