I'm still playing catch up from not posting for a couple of weeks. Here's a great summary of the Democrats' nationally fatal proclamations on climate change from the equally insane CNN 7 hour town hall on climate change.
Obviously the proposals are insane. They are a form of national suicide by economic hemorrhage. But CNN uses it's platform for a 7 hour climate change discussion, gets terrible ratings. You compound that with two years of never letting up on hammering president Trump on everything, being proven wrong time and again and losing viewership month after month you can only surmise 1 of 2 things is true about CNN.
Either CNN is so blindly anti-Trump they don't care if they eventually die in the process of their ongoing hatred, OR, maybe they are secretly in the tank for president Trump. Perhaps they want to be his foil. They want him to succeed and they are playing the villain and losing on purpose.
It sounds crazy but is it any less crazy than the first proposition? I know it gets into conspiracy theory territory but there are a couple reasons they might want to support the president by being deliberately stupid. Their ratings clearly are not one of them because the other mainstream media anti-Trump entities, particularly MSNBC are outperforming CNN. Continuing to chase that same market segment is not working. So why support Trump? They could feel that anti-Trumpism is all they have left and without it, and therefore without him, they have nothing left. So they could feel they are in this symbiotic relationship with their arch enemy and it is keeping them on life support - the alternative is complete ratings death.
The other reason, even more cynical, is that those behind the far left liberal progressivism that CNN spouts are the same as a lot of other rich liberals - they are secretly greedy crony capitalists and they like the tax breaks. It's not as likely as them being just blindly anti-Trump liberal elite, or them wanting to continue to produce goods in China and American workers and America be damned.
Is CNN in the tank for Trump? It's highly unlikely, but it is possible. Their actions have been so inexpiable for the past few years, that anything is possible.
I have a question. If the media were serious about wanting to interview Hillary, to have access to her, why aren't they all over yet another Hillary Clinton scandal? Why haven't they eviscerated her on 8 Top Secret emails being found on her private server by the FBI investigation? Going after her would force her to have to talk with the media. She'd have to be accessible in order to share her 'side' of the story.
But they aren't, so clearly their agenda is to see her elected even at the expense of their profession, and their complaints are the equivalent of crocodile tears.
