CNN fails- Again

Carol Costello hosting a segment about skipping family Thanksgiving due to political disagreements.
Seems to be going along fine, and then she starts talking to a guy (Jeff Gardere) they've brought on to weigh in.

Carol was kind enough to post a link to the video on her Twitter.

Happens around 5:40

Carol: "Let's say someone at the table says 'you know, Hillary Clinton should be in jail.' And the other person responds, 'well perhaps the FBI should look into the case once again.'"

Jeff Gardere "Certainly you can have the opinion that Hillary should be in jail..."

no longer get CNN, MSNBC, or fox.

No offense, but the distortions, misrepresentations, and outright lies that the television MSM have been spewing this past year, why do some still want to patronize their service when it is known they are not an honest broker?

When Comey released the letter to the republicans in congress, the first network to report on it was MSNBC, with the "breaking new headline that the email investigation had been re-opened". That was a LIE. Then MSNBC started to parade across its screen every right wing politician to re-enforce that LIE. Soon the other networks jumped in with the same LIE.

The so-called television MSM have demonstrated for years they are not an honest messenger.

I get my news from the NYTimes, Washington Post, BBC, and PBS.

For me I don't need a rendition of entertainment tonight "news":

1. I don't find it entertaining.
2. If you cannot trust what they are saying, it doesn't inform, so it serves no purpose for me

"You're that weird science guy." I never watched her again after that. How rude & unprofessional.
