I cheated. I keep a text file pinned to my task bar for images. The text file has about 50 images I routinely use.
CNN President Jeff Zucker says President-elect Donald Trump’s attacks on his network are an attempt to “delegitimize journalism,” adding that CNN’s “credibility is higher than ever.”
With a record like they have, people would have to be stupid to buy this.
1. CNN’s coverage of the Jerusalem terror attack on November 18 raised eyebrows in Israel and overseas. Reporting live on the horrific attack at a Jerusalem synagogue, which left three Israeli-American citizens and one British-Israeli citizen dead, the American network ran the questionable headline: “4 Israelis, 2 Palestinians killed in synagogue attack,” misleadingly failing to note that the two Palestinians were actually the attackers. What’s worse, CNN ran a graphic that said that the attack happened at a “Jerusalem mosque,” provoking a wave of social media outrage.
2. CNN’s often geographically-challenged news coverage in November has occasionally slipped from the merely slipshod to the realm of total disaster. The apotheosis came when the news channel accidentally “killed” none other than President Barack Obama - instead of Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden - in one of its shows.

3. In mid-September CNN embarrassed itself while covering the independence referendum in Scotland. The news channel featured a graphic which showed that 110 percent of the Scottish had been polled. Many viewers said CNN journalists need some math and geography lessons.

4. Having recently rolled out its new slogan “Go There,” it’s clear that whatever direction CNN is headed, someone left the map at home. The US channel recently outdid itself when it relocated the capital of Great Britain all the way to Norfolk, much to the surprise of the local residents.

5. Previous gaffes included relocating France’s Cannes, famous for its international film festival, to Spain and Hong Kong, just off the coast of China, to South America.

6. Covering the New Year’s celebrations around the globe, CNN flashed a caption suggesting that Auckland, in New Zealand, was a city in Australia.
7. Then in March, CNN said that the Malaysian capital, Kuala Lumpur, was in Indonesia.
8. This summer CNN relocated the Eastern Ukrainian city of Slavyansk in an infographic – all the way to the Crimea peninsula.
9. And if that wasn’t bad enough, earlier this year the channel reshaped the world entirely, suggesting on its map that Eastern Ukraine was somewhere in Pakistan.
10. In August, CNN identified Niger as Nigeria when reporting on the world’s worst Ebola outbreak.
I could do this all day. And you’ll notice I didn’t get into the Clinton impeachment or the reporting of a Clinton landslide over Trump.
Yeah, they are credible. Look up for pigs.

Gaslighting
Our daughter in law’s grandmother got in a heated argument with my wife because, since we only get our news off the internet, my wife is ignorant. This woman said that she is informed because she gets ALL her news from CNN.
I wonder how election night went for her. Come to think about it, we should check her trailer to see if she’s still alive.
She may have drown in her own tears.
I have been getting too much joy rewatching videos on Youtube of election night and its aftermath.
I think someone taid they were fake news.
CNN is not news at all.
CNN will kill the ATT Tine Warner deal
I used it to great effect in the Trump primary wars on FR.
It's been overwhelmed by the addition of many new images from Twitter, so I've had to start using the Download search function on my browser to keep up. :)
Check this one - it got shadowbanned by Twitter on a recent Hillary hacking-coughing Tweet thread:

Their shadowbanning software is pretty interesting. I think you get flagged, and then some protection software kicks in for certain Twitter account types, like journalists and Leftie celebrities.
There's other stuff going on, too - I call it "dead-heading", where you can see your Tweet, but NOBODY else can see it - even the people you tweeted to, even if you both follow each other.
And the software will "deadhead" random posts, so that you look like a buffoon if you're conducting a conversation.
Of course, this software isn't used on the Leftie accounts.
Exaxctly right. And yes, the irony was not lost on my wife. :)
I do argue with liberals on sites that allow both sides. They are like a college professor that has only argued with incoming freshmen suddenly having to deal with an actual adult. They don’t usually know how to handle it.
It’s been especially fun since the election.
