Tammy Bruce: CNN's latest, desperate attempt to hammer Trump is mind-boggling
FoxNews from Washington Times originally ^ | 25-Oct-2017 | By Tammy Bruce, The Washington Times

How do you know when the liberal media meltdown is approaching an apex? Just look for apples, bananas and a strong smell of smug.

Reaching deep in their drawer of smug, CNN unleashed a “Facts First” initiative, starting with an ad featuring an apple, with a voice-over warning viewers that some awful, yet unnamed, person or network is trying to convince you the apple is a banana. While a juvenile attempt to discredit President Trump’s complaints about the network’s shoddy news coverage, they manage only to remind us of why they’re in this fix in the first place.

What CNN reveals with this abject sanctimony is their contempt for the viewers themselves. “This is an apple. Some people might try to tell you that it’s a banana. They might scream banana, banana, banana, over and over and over again. They might put BANANA in all caps. You might even start to believe that this is a banana. But it’s not. This is an apple.” And then the words “Facts First” appear on screen.

And yet, they believe if you cut off a man’s banana and hang a pair of apples on his chest, he’s a woman. I just shake my head.

OMG - if they only did put ‘facts first” they would not be in the mess they are in.

The fact that they have to waste air time shows they have empty - unsold slots, or this dumb commercial is worth more than they could have received in advertising dollars.

I remember in the early days of Rush Limbaugh- they had a hilarious infomercial for a store called “Spatula City” that only sold spatulas.

It was clearly a comedy, and Rush said that if you HEARD that, then that meant that the station had unsold air time, and were broadcasting their default feed during commercial times that went unsold.

Bananas are every bit as racist as watermelons or fried chicken. Therefore CNN is RACIST!

Oh, that's even better than what I was going to post! That this is from the same people who don't know the difference between a boy and a girl!

It would be great if someone did a commercial mocking CNN with your gender bender illustration.
