TYT: Charles Barkley Slams CNN's Turble Trump Coverage

[WhoIsNumberNone]

We at TYT are usually quick to judge the mainstream media for their terrible coverage. It seems Charles Barkley agrees with us in the case of CNN’s fawning over Donald Trump for ratings at the expense of… well, Earth. Cenk Uygur, John Iadarola (Think Tank), Jimmy Dore (The Jimmy Dore Show Podcast), and Wes Clark Jr., hosts of the The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.

“Charles Barkley always speaks his mind, even on matters beyond his expertise — kind of like a certain Republican presidential front-runner. But Sir Charles is no fan of Donald Trump. And he’s apparently not happy with the way his own company has covered Trump, either…

Barkley said watching Trump’s campaign has been alternately funny and sad, before adding this:
To be honest with you, CNN has done an awful job this election — an awful job. They have followed ratings and sound bytes this entire cycle. I mean, think about it — and I love CNN because they’re part of our company — but they’ve been kissing butt, chasing ratings. I mean, they’ve become like Fox News for the Republicans, to be honest with you. They follow every single sound byte just to get ratings for these debates. And it’s been sad and frustrating that our company has sold their soul for ratings.”*
