CNN Producer: "Russia Story is Good for Business"

[bobabode]

Here's some 'Fake News' for you, Mike. Who makes up fake Time magazine covers and then plasters them all over the place as if they're real?

Your needy 'Daddy Dearest Leader', that's who.

The other way to say it: if Trump is really as bad as these folks want us to believe, there should be no shortage of actual news that doesn't rely on poor or non-existent sourcing or over-inflated stories that are short on facts.

How can you make a comment like that.
Manafort, Flynn and Sessions quit or recused themselves on the subject of Russia. Whether you agree or not, Kushner is under the microscope too, again for his connections to Russia. Besides why did Trump fire Comey, check for his own words, not the Rosenstein memo.

And Trump is the last person deserving of any consideration since its his habit to make up truth, aka lies, all the time.

Thanks for posting this Bob, what a sick human he is and chances are that Time would not sue him for copyright violation. But this will spread through social media once again making him an insecure laughingstock for the world to see.

Whoever created the cover has a good sense of humor. IIRC you could buy a Time cover, suitable for framing, with your picture on it.

That said, CNN would be guilty of journalistic malpractice if it did not cover the Russia investigation within the constraints of good journalism (as the WashPost has).

CNN and Newsweek for a long time tried mightily to push Obama into an anti Russian frenzy.

Obama did not take the bait.

Exile Russian oligarchs have big connections with centers of power in the West. (especially in Britain)

What definitely pissed them off was the dismantling of Mikhail Khodorkovsky.

At least CNN fires journalists who use shoddy sourcing in their stories, so I'd probably rank CNN above Wapo at this point.

Even those who are reporting the news should be able to discern actions taken due to political considerations.

A tale of two networks: How Fox News and CNN handled recent retractions

CNN, on one hand, retracted its story within a day and issued an apology. The network immediately carried out an internal investigation. Three employees resigned. Those that remained were told that any future stories on the topic would need to be vetted by two top executives before publishing.

Fox, on the other hand, took a week to retract the story, though it was debunked by other news outlets within hours. Little news of an investigation within the network emerged. No on-air apology was issued, despite a week of speculative coverage on the cable network. No employees resigned. And one of the network’s stars — Sean Hannity — continues to promote the conspiracy theory to this day.

So CNN it seems has done the right thing whereas ........................and here is where I get to say again that you are full of shit. Keep trying though, I love the free entertainment.
