CNN = Boobs

Because they have no argument so they pull these types of tactics. Classic leftists.

Complete garbage.

I love the concept that a woman can't be bad at her job. Like the guy was laying down level headed criticism, right or wrong. The retort was she faced sexism.

And the host who obviously sells sex appeal gets offended when the childish word boobs is mentioned. Not objectifying her or any specific woman, just a dumbass saying he likes boobs.

She has a kid. I suppose she's never said she likes dick. High hipocrisy and comedic "news". And people wonder why many people call CNN fake news. It's barely one step away from the Onion.

It's funny, instead of discussing the serious issues going on and making a thread about those you take your time make a thread about this inconsequential bullshit then criticize CNN for covering a nothing story. Our president is now acknowledging some ESPN talking head asking her to be fired rather than brushing it off as just some talking heads' opinion like basically 100% of previous presidents would have. I wonder why Obama wasn't sending out tweets every time some talking head alleged he was a Muslim or some shit. Comedy all around. The guy was a fucking idiot who was clearly trolling on live tv with the entirely unnecessary "boobs" comment, why is this a thread?

CNN/Washington Post/NYTimes are all a bunch propagandist platforms. They say whatever furthers their agenda, and that's it. It's honestly immoral because lots of people still rely on the news for information, and all the media is doing now is pushing political narratives which is deceiving.

How is this any different from the sort of sensationalized and biased agenda pushing that Fox news engages in? They are the original purveyors of a hyper-partisan perspective and their “success” in this realm has paved the way for further partisan devolution.

I agree categorically that journalistic integrity has been replaced with puffery and pandering. But, it’s across the board. If you are going to criticize it, at least be principled and reject it in all forms. The issue here is clearly not with the presence of bias, but only that its appearing in a liberal form. Partisan propaganda veiled as balanced reporting has, and will always be a peril to society, not just when it doesn’t comply with your own personal beliefs.

Do you realize how inappropriate it is to say, "all I care about is x and boobs". Funny that it even has to be pointed out.

I mean I use language like that all the time on here but this is supposed to be an anonymous board, not a major media outlet where you're supposed to be making a sincere, factual point.

I have no idea what they're talking about or who's on which side of political spectrum, but why would someone sabotage themselves like that? That's like being in a business meeting and saying "I only believe in two things: making customers happy and ass"

Both parties knew exactly what they were doing. Clay Travis knows if he says something not-pc and CNN crucifies him for it he'll get attention from the anti-pc/trump crowd. Brooke Baldwin knows if she gets huffy and babbles about sexism in response, the Huffington post and Buzzfeed will annoint for taking a heroic stand against "white supremacy and sexism". It's called pandering and building your clout, pretty much every figure in political media has done it.

Do you think Al Sharpton would EVER pass on a chance to call someone/something racist. No because it gets him on TV and makes black people support him.

there are days where I reflect upon human civilization with such disappointment.
why do we relegate ourselves to such basic, trivial matters such as politics, sexism, and racism, Trump, etc?

humans are not the only species to discriminate, act greedy, assault, and kill.
Ayn Rand once said, "wishing won't make it so."

society would be much better off if we "let it be", and actually put our minds to more useful endeavors.

Here is the guy that was pretending to be offended on twitter, quite the gentleman himself! "Her MILF stronger than her jig." Pure poetry. Woman respect on "fleek" as the kids say.

This guy really is an idiot. Completely discredited himself with that idiotic comment. Total embarrassment.

I wonder if CNN internal performance metrics include measurements on contributors' use of certain inflammatory remarks like "racist, sexist, etc.". "Guys, we are going to have to increase the accusations of people being homophobes per hour if we want to hit our Q3 numbers and get bonuses."

.

Cable news is a fucking toxic waste dump of outrage, hypocrisy, and almost no actual information. I'm looking forward to the day when people finally give it up en masse.

I promise you this news anchor has spent considerable time laughing at Amy Schumer's "standup comedy" as most progs hold her up as some sort of figurehead.

All CNN is doing is trying to push headache medication and beer. Fox is trying to push heart attack and ED meds along with gold. Both are succeeding.

I'm as conservative and anti-liberal-takeover of society as they come, but only a dunce would defend this utter retard. Who comes on national television and leads with "1st amendment and boobs"? This guy is an obvious clown who had no intention of having a legitimate debate and was only fishing for the shock value response. Such is the sad state of televised "news" in 2017.

The problem is that inserting 'boobs' into his argument inherently derails the discussion regardless of the reaction from the CNN reporters. It's a casual reminder that the female reporter doesn't really matter and can be reduced to objectification in any serious discussion. It's an ethos way of 'winning' the argument by appealing to people's most primal instincts. At that point, it doesn't really matter if this guy had an otherwise valid argument because he clearly was not approaching the debate in good faith.

hahaha love how this guy's trying to defend this incident as some defense of free speech.

if some overcompensating queer came on your show and starts saying random shit like boobs for no reason, that's just fucking weird. i'm not even liberal, but this guy's cringey as fuck and so is OP. shutting down the mic of this degenerate was the literal least CNN could do. did society a massive favor.

P.S. stop playing this game of trying to win this "moral high ground." right now, both sides just are just playing a game of triggering each other. no side is better than the other for doing it. trust me, you'll look just as retarded as every other free-the-boob feminist. the irony is that losers like TNA love to criticize "MSM" but in reality, they live off the hype just the same.

CNN is dumb for having Travis on..because if they listened to Clay's podcast 1 time they would know this is his act he is a hot take troll. This is on CNN. The fact that the host didn't have her staff do any research shows that they are in it for the controversy. Do better CNN.

Secondly arguing with TNA about these matters is a losing proposition.

as soon as someone tells me they get their news from fox or cnn i cant take them serious anymore. Your telling me you enjoy watching CNN's Trump-Russian Hysteria and anonymous sources, or how about Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity, the saints of the American Redneck. Lets not forget that the Obama Tan suit, was an absolute statement he is pro-ISIS!
