Why? Why does a fake news network care if she is on or not? It's not like she is going to hurt their credibility anymore XD


Speaking of credibility, how's things turn out with that real scientist?

Lmao!

Even in the 90s I never understood why Kathy Griffin was a thing. Everything about her was awful, and she somehow kept hosting award ceremonies or something.


She's a great example of reverse sexism. If a man were as unfunny and talentless as her, his show biz career would have ended in the 80s.


Adam Sandler and Jack Black are two of the most successful men in comedy today.

Just saying.

Now I feel weird because I think I'm the only guy here that actually watches CNN on new year's, and I actually think it's hilarious. >_>

My social life isn't going too well though. <_<

Adam Sandler and Jack Black are both very funny, or were at one point at least.

To be fair I don't know how in the hell Kevin James got another show. I know Sandler keeps him afloat via movie roles, but don't know what in the hell CBS was thinking.

Even SquattyPotty doesn't want this bitch representing their literal shit anymore.

http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/squatty-potty-ceo-bobby-edwards-issues-statement-on-kathy-griffin-300465984.html

"We were shocked and disappointed to learn about the image Ms. Griffin shared today, it was deeply inappropriate and runs contrary to the core values our company stands for. In response, Squatty Potty has suspended its ad campaign featuring Ms. Griffin. We have acted swiftly and decisively to demonstrate our commitment to a culture of decency, civility, and tolerance."

I guess you could say...they just...dumped Kathy Griffin.

NBC News has an article on it. Hell, CNN canned her so you could probably get an article from them too.

Good riddance to fools. I'm actually surprised that CNN (the propaganda news network) went ahead and fired her.

No, I'm saying he's unfunny. He's a good host/moderator for things like Whose Line and TPiR, but he has never been funny. Not on his sitcom, not in his stand up. He's just meh.

The Harvard scholars analyzed the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post and the main newscasts (not talk shows) of CBS, CNN, Fox and NBC during Trump's initial time in office. They found, to no one's surprise, that Trump absolutely dominated news coverage in the first 100 days. And then they found that news coverage was solidly negative — 80 percent negative among those outlets studied, versus 20 percent positive.

The numbers for previous presidents: Barack Obama, 41 percent negative, 59 percent positive; George W. Bush, 57 percent negative, 43 percent positive; and Bill Clinton, 60 percent negative, 40 percent positive.

...
Assessing the tone of news coverage, the Harvard researchers found that CNN's Trump coverage was 93 percent negative, and seven percent positive. The researchers found the same numbers for NBC.
...
And Fox News coverage also leaned to the negative, but only slightly: 52 percent negative to 48 percent positive.

Bruh, you were visibly upset and were nowhere to be found after I proved you wrong. Who's the bullshitter again? Either way, it's abdunatly clear that the news media and social media (including Twitter :) ) is full of bipartisan condemnation. Sorry Charlie.


You didn't prove shit, I laughed at your sad attempt to cherry pick condemnation and I'm right here laughing at you again. "Visibly upset". On the internet. LOL

Because CNN isn't actually fake news. You've just been fed a narrative from the actual fake news sources that makes you think so. Wake up. :u Get Trump's dick out of your mouth.


CNN isnt fake, but it is VERY biased.

I wouldn't go so far as to take away their "fake" adjective. None of the MSM stations are clear of that label. They all have done it on many occasions where they report stories they have no real sources for just to be the first to get it out there.

They all do it. most recently, fox did all that stuff with the PI putting out unsubstantiated accusations involving the Seth Rich murder. Then the next day the guy backed off of it and basically said that a reporter told him all that stuff. While there is reason to believe there is smoke in that case, that doesnt' excuse it. It's cheap pandering trying to make a story, as they all try to do (What's her name and Trump's tax returns that showed him making $150 million one year derp), and it pushes a narrative that will sway people who don't follow up on it.

Let's just call them news entertainment, more so than actual journalists now because that is what they are. They aren't news networks. They are editorial bloggers half the time.

It's just Russia hacking all the MSM broadcasts anyways and uploading stories to the robot anchors anyways ;)

I don't specifically remember watching CNN on New Year's Eve, but it's been ages since I've been to a real "party," it's usually just my wife and one other couple hanging out. >_> So don't feel too bad. >_>

There's nothing to play off. You're just wrong. *shrug*

But to address your statement, I'm not a fan of arguing with someone in denial (for some reason). It isn't hard to admit you're wrong, you know.


I admit I'm wrong plenty. My only requirement is that I'm actually wrong.
