A former CNN editor went on a rampage against his former network, exposing the deep media bias against conservatives in Kavanaugh’s confirmation. The Daily Wire reports:
The former Washington, D.C. bureau chief for CNN ripped the media for its extreme bias, misreporting, and low standards as they joined the Democratic party in launching an all-out assault to stop Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh from being confirmed to the nation’s highest court.
Frank Sesno, who is now the current director of the School of Media and Public Affairs at George Washington University, said on CNN’s “Reliable Sources” with Brian Stelter that the public’s trust in the media is “somewhere down below the basement.”
“Do you think the press is coming out of this looking weaker because many people feel that the press chose a side through this?” CNN’s Stelter asked.
“Yes. Certainly, that’s the way it’s going to look to Trump supporters and to people who have been questioning media’s bias and their ability to report straight for a long time,” Sesno responded. “Look, the fact of the matter is that by any reasonable measure, this has been an extraordinary week for this president. Forget the Russia investigation. Forget the tax story. Forget all of the rest. Trade deal with Mexico and Canada, unemployment numbers that haven’t been this low since 1969, and following through on what he said, which was to remake the Supreme Court and a triumph with Kavanaugh himself.”
Will the media ever recover from this abysmal low?
It is difficult to determine when the media crossed the red line between reportage, trust in the networks and the news anchors, to this state of complete corruption of the media in almost all forms.
Obviously it had to have been sanctioned much higher up than the personalities themselves, beyond the networks even, to the vested interests (aka Deep State, combining the highest echelons of government, the military, intelligence, federal law enforcement, the corporate state, and of course the vast technology/information/entertainment network).
Some could argue that it originated before the checkmate of JFK, who naively felt he wielded sufficient authority and influence to challenge the Deep State, and was removed surgically and permanently. Although there was skepticism from many separate investigators and authors, nothing came of it. LBJ got his wish and toed the line. The Deep State got its war, got Civil Rights legislation, and an increase in the Welfare State.
We continued blissfully along, entertained, trusting in general our government and our media. Even Watergate didn’t shock us.
The Deep State through its media and its politicians knowing not to cross the line Kennedy had suffered for, and kept us thinking there was a difference between the parties, and we were as gullible as those who believe professional wrestling isn’t scripted.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, we took a big step towards orienting our interests with what the Deep State’s political geniuses saw as our destiny. A world order shaped and policed by us and our allies. The arrogance of this policy resulted in marginalizing ANYONE who questioned the narrative. Pat Buchanan and Dr. Paul Craig Roberts, one who ran for president and another who served in one of President Reagan’s departments, both true conservatives, saw the dangers in the “neo-conservative” agenda, wrote intelligent challenges to the script, and were driven off the mainstream media.
No one can deny that the rise of Donald Trump was THE true watershed. One of the very few Americans who essentially could NOT be controlled by the purse strings that have corrupted the media, turned politicians into whores, and essentially controlled our choices. Trump openly exposed the manipulation.
The WHORES, whether on the LEFT or the RINO’s and NeoCons, are only one of the problems Trump and Patriotic Americans face. Every facet of the Vested Interests feels the heat, the “scientists” who preach global warming, the bureaucrats buried in all the departments of the government, most dangerous though within the Treasury and Justice departments, the political whores whose lies AND CORRUPTION are being exposed, the “globalists” who want America to become “a member of the global village” meaning picking up the tab for the agenda of the UN–Why?
Trump is restoring the VOICE of the American people, those patriots! How do the whores react? They openly label these Patriots as deplorable, fools, stupid–FOR SEEING THROUGH THEIR CHARADE–
Our “vested interests” sold the Average American down the river, opting (like Nike) for factories employing virtual slaves so their corporate profits could soar and their marketing geniuses could promote the “politically-correct” facade–Many Americans prospered through their stocks, but many depending on quality jobs were ignored.
And the CNN’s and the NBC’s and ABC’s and NYTimes and Washington Posts and the Robber Barons of Technology are attempting to poison our nation to get rid of Trump by any means possible–Fake News is just the most obvious means–the “resistance” and mobs and possible assassinations are by no means off the table.
And how do they explain themselves? They label those who have some voice as, let’s hear it for the “Conspiracy Theorists…!”
We know….only the lemmings ignore their lies and surge on over the cliff.
As the midterm elections near emotions will increase exponentially. The Left-Wing lunatics and the ANTIFA morons could potentially start bringing guns to their protest demonstrations. Americans could needlessly die. I hope that all the Fake News media will step-up and admit their blame for inciting this violence.
But, as usual, they will blame the Republicans, Conservatives and especially President Trump and, or course, their racism, sexism, and all their other many faults.
To be a Democrat, a socialist, or a communist is, by the left’s definition, being next to GOD! Just ask Cory Booker, Bitch Kamala Harris, Chief Elizabeth Warren, intellectual Maxine Waters, “Cryin” Chuck Schumer, or insane Nancy Pelosi.
Well said. Yes, they’ll push and push until something is done to put them back in place, and it won’t be pretty at first. The good thing is it’ll be in lib run areas so it’ll be well deserved.
We all know that the media is the democratic party period.
This is exactly why President Trump texts!
Molly Hemingway noted on the “Life, Liberty and Levin” show of Oct. 7, 2018, that the press has gone from being the publicity arm of the democratic party to being their generals.
CNN is a sick bunch of fools and idiots. No one listens to them except the other networks so they can show other viewers why they should not listen or watch the CNN crap.
I don’t think the media can EVER recover from this.The only way for them to recover is to publicly admit their extreme bias. And then apologize and fix the problem! And they must quit LYING and EDITING the stories to meet their opinion. We don’t care about their opinion, we want the FACTS ONLY. Let us draw our own conclusion and our own opinion.
Doubtful!
Good news on Hannity tonight,they are exposing the Deep State. It has been coming for all this time since our Pres Trump has come into office. This week they will be talking about a lot more of what is going on,people are turning against the others. Some good facts will be coming out so we can find out how they were all compromised to do what Obama wanted.
our Pres.Trump
Confidence in anything and especially in the media is like a big rock, when it falls its takes a lot of time effort and sweat to make it back to where it once was. The media is far below the basement in my mind. They do not even qualify as the late night stooges, because one knows what to expect from those self centered morons. What is funny, is these late night morons think they are part of the news media. Get my point.
ABC: Amazingly biased correspondents
NBC: Negative biased correspondents
CBS: Cruel biased correspondents
MSN: Morons spewing nonsense
MSNBC: Malicious sadistic negative biased correspondents
CNN: Certainly not news
FNC: Finally newsworthy correspondents
Antifa, mob rule, me too, BLM, all these movements supported by the Democratics and the mainstream media, have not gone unnoticed. Most of America is well aware of the above movements and the damage they can do. Here’s an old adage that will come into play at election time. I feel that we have awoken a sleeping giant!
Amen to that!
And all FUNDED by Soros and Steyr
All of us must make it a point to remind people……………constantly if necessary. This must be done in a non-threatening manner, though. I’ve been doing it for years and have been successful more times than not. I’ve established my credibility over the decades to the point that some will tell others ‘let’s see what Jon thinks about this’. It has taken a lot of research and work outside of my regular employment, but it has borne fruit. It has been worth it, however, always remember to state facts that can be proven to be true and let the listener know when you are conjecturing or war gaming (taking strategies to any of their possible conclusions — all of them).
It’s been said for years that the public has a short memory, and the politicians rely on that. I hope that doesn’t hold true at this time. We must remember every day (at least until the next election) what the media and the Democrat scoundrels and the paid protesters and the corrupt bureaus, et cetera have done to this country in the past few years. It actually swung into action the day Trump announced he would run, and continues unabated to this day. We don’t want to live this way. We want real news, honest officials, and trustworthy politicians, so that we can think about our families and our futures and so on, and not have to waste time and energy concerned about the shenanigans in the press, and in Washington DC.

The media is getting its just desserts.
“BUT” I still believe it will be President Trump again for another 4 years after this one, so I am very optimistic, and rightfully so! He has been a great shot in the arm for those of us on fixed incomes and especially good for the blue collar worker, which is virtually the entire USA as it should be! PERIOD!
Must pray to God to help us. We’re up against a party that has no morals anymore, knows no truth anymore, will lie & deceive many to get their way.
Do anything, & I mean ‘anything’ to get to the top, even if it means stepping on the back of others heads into the ground. They are ruthless and dangerous for our country.
Will the media ever relent or quit with the fake news “N O P E”. Or at least they will wait and see which type of President comes in next. If it is President Trump, then they are dead meat in terms of recovering honesty and fairness, but if it is a liberal, progressive, it will be business as usual! PERIOD!
Well who is really surprised? The Clinton machine is alive and well at CNN
