CNN’s Fundraiser for DJT Makes the News*
--
I was delighted to learn CNN was hosting and broadcasting a fundraiser for DJT to support his candidacy and GOP nomination for POTUS in 2024. Stuck in a silo of my own making, I was much too busy to tune in, keeping an eye on my sleeping cat — momentarily forgetting I don’t have a cat — and watching paint dry. Fortunately, I have seen snippets of the event and descriptions of it in electronic print. Yes, I carefully sneak out of my silo on occasion, but furtively and only after looking in just one direction.
The fact that CNN hosted and broadcast this event and the way it was presented tells us a lot about CNN. All woke global elitists were barred admission so DJT could yuk it up with the audience. CNN’s Anderson Cooper later observed, “[h]e hasn’t changed.” I was surprised to discover there was nothing new to learn about DJT.
Same tired lies, same victimhood, same personal grievances, and a continuation of his slow guilty plea to crimes against the United States.
I’m no journalist and don’t work in that industry, but even I could see that CNN’s deciders are either incompetent or they opted to compete with other networks as a propaganda machine for MAGAts. If it’s the latter, bless their patriotic hearts, then the former is also in play. The symbiosis between CNN under new ownership and DJT could not be clearer: they will continue tanking together, and even if DJT secures the Republican nomination with 33%, that will be the end. His losing streak will continue.
The network’s defamation damage controllers must be working overtime. In its defense, though, how could CNN possibly have foreseen it was giving Trump an open platform to defame the person a jury just announced he owes $5 million for . . . wait for it . . . defaming and sexually abusing?
