• CNN = Conservative Outlet

    From Alan Ianson@1:153/757 to Mike Powell on Mon Oct 28 16:05:18 2024
    Were the democrats getting kisses?

    I dunno. You are the one that said that CNN had become conservative.

    They are not conservative as in Fox, Newsmax, RSBN or the like.

    Those are not exactly what I would call conservative either.

    I am trying to imagine why, since you won't supply any examples.

    I don't spend a lot of time on CNN but (some of) their content of late has been conservative leaning. It could be CNN ownership has changed.

    I don't know the reason but CNN of today is not the same as CNN of yesterday.

    The link here rates them left-center but also credible. Maybe you perceived them as being less conservative (and more to your liking) back when they were not so credible.

    We have a Marxist Lesbian living in our basement.... She's almost 30... Every time Trump has a rally I turn the TV up so that the neighbors can hear.

    And about Dick's daughter not liking him... I was trying to be funny with the fact that, that one anyways, is a lesbian...

    I still think its funny and I laughed for the both of us.

    I forgot that this means you and Dick have at least one thing in common. ;)

    I am aware of where CNN has been, I question where they are and where they are going.

    Someone told me that the state senate and state assembly candidates get paid like $200k by the taxpayers just for running. I'm not sure how
    true it is, but that would explain why many of these minority GOP ever
    run for office in the first place. ($200k can buy a lot of crack.)

    I think they get that for their campaign. I haven't researched it, but I remember reading that candidates can qualify for gov't funding to run their campaign.

    But the question is "why?"

    Look at all these fancy job titles that we have for people; just so
    that they can get a paycheck, do nothing for us, and ignore their own laws.

    And they wonder why people are pissed at them.

    They are being rated as "credible" so I don't see a problem there. If a
    source agrees with everything I think but is also rated as "not credible"
    or worse, then I do see a problem.

    Back in the day, when many of the folks who were running were not career politicians and/or already rich, it might have made sense. Got to question
    it now, though, especially since in some areas you only qualify for such
    things if you are running as a Democrat or Republican.

    I don't see a problem either. They have shifted right is all I am saying.

    They are not right as in Fox, Newsmax, or RSBN. They have just moved to the right.
