Related: About this forumJohn King on CNN right now - says "Clinton's Momentum Stopped with Missteps?"
What fucking missteps are they talking about? Her empathizing with Millennials?
Do they see the gathering shitstorm that is brewing for Trump today? Are you kidding me? Stop "Both Sides-ing" CNN!!!!

(50,278 posts)This morning, given the Trump tax revelation, Hillary could pretty much talk about how disgusting kittens are and look good.

(4,187 posts)Because that makes much more sense and is more consistent with what they've been saying since the last debate. They haven't been able to stop talking about how much "momentum" Trump had before the debate.

(50,986 posts)and his analysis quotient is low. He's not the worst out there, but he's far from the best.
I looked around the interwebs last evening to see how the Trump tax story was getting treated. It looks to me as if the roof is caving in on the Trump-Pence campaign and that HRC's numbers continue to rise in various state polling. The tax story was the pervasive headline. King appears to have missed it (incompetence) or he missed it on purpose (horse-race ratings manipulation).
It wouldn't bother me one bit if CNN pulled the plug on King today and instead ran an hour-long piece on Vin Scully. It would far better serve the country to hear the Scully piece.

(9,600 posts)trying to change the MSM narrative of Trump's non payment of taxes, losing the debate, candidate Trump falling apart under pressure, etc.
Ailes calls up John King, we need a MSM reporter to come on air and say Hillary has problems, you better come through for me now John boy.
John King does as told.
Why? Who knows what Ailes has on half of the media talking heads?

(50,986 posts)But if King is under Ailes' sway, then I really really really want to see that Vin Scully piece.

(4,167 posts)What she actually said and only focused on "living in parents basement" comment. The media is really horrible and have dumbed down America.

(68,586 posts)In fact, it may help her. Donald also said that 50% of Americans were lazy good for nothings and that is beginning to get some play...so sorry the millennial thing will not hurt her...the sympathy and the desire to help came through loud and clear...no matter what the media and the concerned say. Those that would care about this were Hillary haters and/or Trump fans.

(135,425 posts)I knew that journalism was dead over there.
It wasn't an ALLEGATION--it was FACT. They are stupid, stupid, STUPID people over there. And STUPID is a "mean word" to use, but in some cases the shoe fits--like when a frigging reporter cites a FACT as an "allegation."
Trust Buster
(7,299 posts)told the viewers that they can find the whole statement online. What out of context nonsense. She simply told the audience that they need to understand where Millenials are coming from. This is a total non-story. Trump can claim the economy sucks EVERY DAY and the media applauds him.

(5,256 posts)You should probably lay off the CNN for a spell.
Trust Buster
(7,299 posts)that I think is inaccurate and out of context, I should stick my tail between my legs and flee the networks. I prefer the path of demanding accountability of the news media.
