Shame, Shame on Cable So Called News; How Low Are You Willing to Go?

Here's just another and typical example of a so called factual report from a so called journalist to a so called objective well known member of the so called Main Stream Media.

It reminds me of a TV commercial some years ago which featured three people; one who liked Bud Light because it tasted great and one who liked it because it was less filling. There was a guy who sat between those two people who stirred up the different points of view which could be inflamed into an argument by saying to each of the so called enemies, "That's not what he said." That person in the middle was a well known celebrity, a former NFL star.

That ad was intended to amuse the public by poking fun at people who are ready to fight over almost anything. The intent was to promote the sale of Bud Light. We got it. Nobody hurt.

In its coverage of the Democratic Convention,
CNN has produced a parody of that commercial which is neither funny nor amusing. It's an intentional ploy to stir up animosity between the candidates for the purpose of bringing attention to that so called journalist's so called objective employer of the so called Main Stream Media.

This ad was intended, not to amuse the public, but to stir up animosity between the candidates. The intent, like the beer comercial, was to promote CNN as the Cable channel of choice.

We get it. Lots of people hurt.
