>>Unlike the typical CNN panel discussion, there was no one to defend alternative facts with the moderator treating each side with equal gravity.<<

Yeah, that was great. As other news organizations get shut down, as Trump shut down CNN at his first presser, perhaps they'll follow suit? Why give obvious, plain as day lies equal time?

yeah, that's so nice that NOW cnn is finally calling a lie a lie

this is the same organization that hired Cory Lewandoskwi as a paid CNN talking head during the campaign, after he was "let go" by Trump

yeah, nice job assholes



...When Donald Trump declared victory in Florida on Tuesday evening, he thanked the man beside him: “Corey, good job, Corey.” That was Corey Lewandowski, the hard-charging campaign manager who reporter Michelle Fields accused of grabbing her and nearly throwing her to the ground after a press conference last week.

That may be the first most voters have heard of Lewandowski, but he is well known in political circles as an aggressive, against-the-grain operative, whose most recent job with the Koch-funded Americans for Prosperity landed the group under investigation for voter suppression in North Carolina in 2014.

The group and its affiliated Americans for Prosperity Foundation had a massive voter registration and get-out-the-vote operation there leading up to the 2014 midterm elections. As AFP’s national director of voter registration at the time, Lewandowski's shop oversaw a multi-state voter registration drive, which included the production and distribution of hundreds of thousands of voting-related mailers to potential voters around the country.
