For some reason CNN’s ratings are in the toilet. When you see a report like this, the explanation becomes clear.

Hmmm.....that is what the Colonel did for Elvis. He hired screaming teeny-boppers when he appeared on TV shows or concerts.

Is the Colonel or Elvis now working for Hitlery?

This wouldn’t take much coaching. The American people just know by instinct how to cheer when a celebrity walks into the room. They are mainly celebrity-driven. And dumb as rocks too

[Theodore R.]

CNN ratings are poor because the American people are not interested in 24-hour “news”, much of which is commercials anyway.

If she was an inanimate object, she would be a rectal barometer. Much more painful than a rectal thermometer.

I liked the saying that she could never be President because she reminded people of their ex wife. In a sane world her candidacy would be laughed at every time. After Obama, I wouldn’t put anything past the sheeple to do the most moronic thing possible.

[BenLurkin]

Exactly.

[SevenofNine]

SO CNN is Leni Rehtheal least she was good filmmaker before she decided Hitler movies

CNN warmed up the crowd for Hillary and even coached them on how to cheer and make noise to demonstrate enthusiasm for the former Secretary of State.

These people's hearts are so hardened by evil. How else can we explain how they can lie with a straight face, and still sleep at night? It seems to me, there is a verse in the Bible about them. Woe unto them who call good evil and evil good.

[laconic]

Was the fat woman from CNN that threw the presidential debate to Obama leading the cheers for Hillary?

[Moorings]

A Hillary campaign event organized by CNN.

[Pride in the USA]

Heeeeee!

Watching Eleanor Clift and understanding that some people are just Vaginocrats. If that is your politics, I suppose Hillary! Fits the bill.

[Tennessee Nana]

Yeah but did they all buy a book ???

[upchuck]

Too bad your post lost the link to the original story on the WaPo.

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

I’m so shocked I could plotz.

[databoss]

They are not part of the government they are the illegal propaganda arm of the Democrat party. Media outlets are supposed to give equal access to both parties...show me where that is happening.

[GeronL]

Media outlets are supposed to give equal access to both parties

I don't think that is true any more, if it ever was.

[bravo whiskey]

vaginacrats. i like that

[cookcounty]

They’ve been running free commercials for her:

A member of an audience plaintively asks, “Mrs. Clinton, if you don’t stand up for women who will?” Hillary beams, the audience erupts into wild applause.

CNN has been running this ad in advance of some interview with the American Queen over and over and over again.

And they want us to respect their “journalism.”
