This is pretty hilarious. From the link:
>> Presidential daughter-in-law Lara Trump, a consultant to the campaign organization, said in a statement that '[a]pparently, the mainstream media are champions of the First Amendment only when it serves their own political views.'These asshats actually seem to believe they're ENTITLED to automatic contracts. "Blocking". "Censorship". "First Amendment". Absolutely clueless.
'Faced with an ad that doesn't fit their biased narrative, CNN, ABC, CBS, and NBC have now all chosen to block our ad. This is an unprecedented act of censorship in America that should concern every freedom-loving citizen.'
.... The Rump camp didn't shy from CNN's pushback – blasting it out in a press release to its base of supporters and contributors.
'It is absolutely shameful to see the media blocking the positive message that President Rump is trying to share with the country. It's clear that CNN is trying to silence our voice and censor our free speech because it doesn't fit their narrative,' said Michael Glassner, the campaign's executive director.
.... This is censorship pure and simple,' he says in the email. 'By rejecting our ad, CNN has proven that it supports censorship is biased and fears an opposing point of view. President Rump’s loyal supporters know the truth: The mainstream media mislead, misguide, deceive, and distract.'
Glassner concludes: 'CNN epitomizes the meaning of fake news and has proven it by rejecting our paid campaign ad.' <<
This is the direct result of the entitlement mentality oozed by a spoiled asshole who's had everything handed to him all his life. Then he goes to whiny little bitch mode when he finds out the world doesn't work that way.
. . . or, by not airing the ad, they prove his point, they are in fact "fake news," adhering to a political agenda.
If they had aired the ad, then certainly he would look all the more foolish, b/c the networks would show they have no bias.
All of them are in the pockets of the CFR, he is just calling them out. If he were really standup, he'd be calling out Fox as well.
You can't prove a point by NOT doing something.
Only if you accept that a TV station MUST sell its air time to anybody who asks for it, which is bullshit. Nobody believes that except the entitled orange asshole who's not used to hearing "No". Sadly, he can't just grab 'em by the pussy because he feels a whim.. Time for the Entitled Orange Asshole to man up and grow a pair of big boy pants.
I really don't know why you are so emotional about him, or why you are so personal about him. Why do you think he is such an asshole?
You remind me of all the racists who personally hated Obama and his family simple b/c they were black. You hate, simply b/c Trump is white and rich. I see no other reason.
Then you just ain't paying attention.
Has nothing to do with being "white and rich". Fatter o' mact he's not white, he's orange. Has nothing to do with politics either, which if he has any I don't know what they are since not a damn thing that ever comes out of his ever-babbling mouth can be trusted.
It has to do with , very simply being an asshole. An asshole who's completely wrapped up in himself, to the point where he can't deal with reality, can't admit when he fucks up, can't in fact find any way to take any kind of responsibility for anything at all, ever. Has to do with intrinsic basic dishonesty. Has to do with the bullshit psychological manipulation he engages in, which is part of the dishonesty and complete lack of ethics. Of course I despise all that. How can one not?
That said, you don't read "emotion" very well. I employ sarcasm, I say what I think, and I don't see any reason to hold back. Simple as that.
I ain't interested in "what's been portrayed". Who the hell needs media to figure out who Donald Rump is? With this neurotic an attention whore, there's way more than enough info. I just go by how he handles himself. And he's certainly sought out every camera he can find to let us know exactly what an asshole he is and in what ways, and proceeded to confirm that, over, and over, and over, and over, and over. No analyst is needed to make that plain.
Again ---- NONE of this is relevant, and again NOBODY needs a media to educate them about who Donald Rump is. That's all too well known. The fallacy this thread is built on is the bullshit idea that just because Rump makes up a commercial, some TV network is required to buy it. THEY AIN'T. That's it, the grand sum and totality of the point here, full stop, cue fat lady, waiter check please, fade to black.
And it isn't worth constructing the multi-layer-cake red herring you bring in above. Ain't that complicated --- the alphabets declining to run an ad *IN* *NO* *WAY* amounts to "censorship" or "blocking" jack shit. That's naught but spoiled whiners crying the blues because they didn't get their way. Send out invitations to the pity party.
NOR does it amount to "bias" --- that's absurd. Why in the wide world of fuck would a business deliberately advertise against itself? Do you see Chevrolet advertising a car with its fender falling off? Do you see the Olive Garden advertising diners throwing up?
Good GOD people get a grip.
