Particularly if you follow any of the broadcast news media. It's a fact that unbiased journalism died in this country about ten years ago. I mean, if you're expecting a balanced look at current events, don't look at MSNBC or even Fox. It's not news they offer. It is all about opinions, 24/7.
And, as bad as they are, no news outlet is worse than CNN.
The Cable News Network.
Or...the Constipated News Network.
Or...the Communist News Network.
Or...the Clinton News Network.
For me, CNN stands for...
The Clown News Network. Because that's pretty much what they hire for on-air personalities.
Admittedly, I only expose myself to CNN if I happen to be in an airport lounge. Indeed, that's really the only place where it should be viewed. Their alleged news reporting is shoddy. And they are equally as opinionated as the dolts at the other places.
But, as bad as they are on 364 days of the year, the one day where they really make jackasses of themselves is on New Year's Eve. About a decade, they decided to give viewers an alternative to the Dead Dick Clark Rockin' New Year's Eve extravaganza. So, they put on their own show with, as the hosts, comic Kathy Griffin and "journalist" Anderson Cooper. The latter's main claim to fame is that his mother created designer jeans for fat women back in the 70s.
As ridiculous as it seems, CNN got away with this nonsense for a few years before Kathy Griffin went on a profanity tirade and literally challenged the FCC decency code for broadcast channels. So, they shitcanned Miss Potty Mouth and teamed the white-haired lummox with Andy Cohen, who has even less of a reason to be on a news network. Cohen and Cooper together are the main ingredients in Kelly Ripa's gay posse and they apparently tour in entertainment venues.
Puh-leze.
Well, these two idiots were back again the other night acting as court jesters. At one point (and I did see this myself in a clip), they started to debate penis size. Gee, how stereotypical can they get???
But, if that lunacy was not enough to brand the whole channel as a pack of frauds, they kept cutting away to roving host Don Lemon in Nashville. Lemon is one of CNN's "hot" (actually "luke warm") commodities and, if he is a journalist, I'm the centerfielder for the Los Angeles Dodgers on Opening Day.
Lemon is one of those big mouths hiding behind a journalist's credentials and is as phony as they come. Even his name, with its haughty French or Creole or Cajun inflection, is fake. Hey, a Lemon is a Lemon and, at the end of the day, nothing but a fruit. And that's not designed as a jab at Don's sexual leanings. Gay or straight, the guy is an asshole and displayed it in full force on New Year's Eve.
Check out the clip. He's drunk as a skunk, trusted news person that he is.
It gets worse. Later in the broadcast, he talks about getting a tattoo on some part of his body. What a shithead.
I can't help but think about how Don Lemon would preach if one of Trump's kids got a DUI on New Year's Eve.
Truly, you can't make this stuff up.
So, yes, CNN is full of morons. But, if you're one of the people who tunes into them regularly, please add your name to the Moronic list of the Month.
Dinner last night: Leftover sausage, peppers, and onions.
