The Clinton News Network

I don't pay attention to every news outlet there is.  In fact, I pay very little attention to Fox, and that I do simply to hear about news the other MSM outlets don't report.  For years, based on what little I've seen it do, I've joked that CNN stood for the Clinton News Network.  I was only joking, derisively, but it appears I may not have been too far off.

Let's examine some of the recent events that took place on CNN, shall we? 

First, when the father of Tyrone Woods, who died at Benghazi, was talking about how Cankles owed his family an apology for not taking better care to protect his son, the talking head at CNN kept pressing him to say whether Donald Trump should apologize to Khizr Khan for his comments about barring Muslims from entering the United States.  Nevermind that Mr. Trump had nothing to do with sending Mr. Khan's son into battle.  Nevermind that Cankles lied to Mr. Woods about the reason there was an attack on the U.S. consulate.  Mr. Trump should apologize to Mr. Khan because his words made him feel bad, while Mr. Woods kept arguing that Cankles should apologize for having been derelict in her duty to protect U.S. citizens.  The two issues weren't remotely equivalent, unless one worked for CNN.

Not satisfied with the protection it was giving Cankles, it decided to edit tweets made by Mr. Trump. Whether one agrees with Mr. Trump's rhetoric, his words shouldn't be edited to fit a particular political agenda.  CNN actually took out the word Crooked and reprinted the tweet without the word.

Still not satisfied with protecting Cankles, a retired policeman who broke into a car to save a baby from a hot car wore a T-shirt stumping for Mr. Trump.  When it originally aired the interview with the hero, the shirt was clearly visible and read:  Trump for President, 2016.  When the interview was aired later on HLN (which is part of the CNN portfolio), this is how it was seen:

Imagine the outcry if Fox did something similar with a BLM member, or a Bernie supporter or a Cankles acolyte.  Leftists' heads would explode without outrage.  But this selective censorship is not only common but expected on the Left.  Anything that pushes Cankles closer to making history is acceptable to them, no matter how it shreds the Left's integrity and message, no matter how hypocritical it may be for a news organization to censor speech, the overriding concern is getting Cankles elected and having access to her lowness when she's sitting on the throne.

If Mr. Trump were to lose the election in a fair-and-square election, that would be one thing.

This thing is rigged.
