Its a matter of time everyone who is senior and Jeff Zucker are removed from their positions. Credibilty is hard to regain.
Meanwhile FOX is thumping CNN!

If I recall correctly you're a libertarian-leaning guy.

I'm an anarcho-capitalist. Didn't vote for Trump. Not a GOPer. Honestly, just by default I hate everything Trump does because he's a statist.

Having said that the media is the bigger obstacle to freedom if you ask me. Presidents come and go. The media is by far a more controlling influence over society as a whole.
Yep I'm more liberal, but the way libs are acting, it's turning me more libertarian than it is. I simply cannot condone the behavior of the left lately. And yes, the media is out of control right now, but they have so many people brainwashed at the moment with all this "hate"/"everyone is racist"/"if you disagree with me, you're a sexist" stuff that it's really turning some good people I know into lunatics.

So, if CNN goes down, or at least majorly exposed, I'm okay with this. The media is a powerful tool, probably the most powerful tool of influence in the nation.

The irony here is that 100% of what he says the left scoff at, and 90% of what he says turns out to be right. That's actually pretty good considering Presidents typically lie 90% of the time.

I'm glad he's not a typical politician.

Welcome to my world. I became a dues paying Libertarian right after we invaded Iraq. I could no longer condone a party that had turned its back on itself. The Dems are doing exactly the same thing now, except it's more insidious. The DNC leaders are fomenting unrest from within.

It's CNN that is taking credit. You're not paying attention.

Obama didn't try to squelch the free press and he didn't want to do away with the Constitution because it didn't suit him.
