Election lies are perfectly reasonable things to cover - did I say they weren't? Again I will reiterate that there are most certainly news stories that deserve to be told about Trump, but covering everything he does is purely used to drive up ratings and fuel the outrage.

I won't disagree that CNN, as any media outlet, has run stories that serve as little more than outrage bait. but it's ridiculous to pretend Trump is irrelevant but for headlines run by left-leaning news orgs. He has the entire conservative political and media establishment in the united states propping him up.

Dear Lord , I have seen a lot of Republicans lifting up Bill for his comments. They don't get that he was dig at the trump. He is literally saying they are messing over America to help Trump win. And then he goes right at fox.

If people stop talking about him he'll become very irrelevant. Trump thrives on media attention and headlines, deny him that and he's just a blowhard screaming into the void.

No. He needs to be jailed.

For the people who are crying about how Trump is no longer relevant, I'd love to hear your thoughts on who is the most likely person to earn the republican nomination in 2024
Yeah I don't understand what goes on in people's heads.

He's so irrelevant that every Republican out there has to invoke his name and basically swear fealty to earn nominations.

He's not going to disappear if CNN stops crying about him. Are Democrats going to lose if Fox News stops whining about Biden?

So news stations shouldn't talk about the guy who:
  1. Was president for 4 years
  2. Is currently the leader of one of the only two valid political parties in the country
  3. Just was the headline speaker at CPAC like last week
  4. Is still fighting against the election results
  5. Is so important within his own party that Republicans are turning on their high-ranking memebers that criticize him
  6. Attempted a coup only 6 months ago
  7. Is almost certainly going to be the Republican nominee in 2024

Yeah, but he's just like some rich guy that used to have a TV show and dabbled in politics

burr is just letting off some frustration that he couldn't watch what he wanted to for a little while. he does this often. he doesn't have an actual point other than to swipe at big companies that annoy him.

Do you guys not see how dumb it is to take a comedians rant on a podcast and make it a news article? The whole point of a comedians podcast is that you just freely talk about shit that pops into your head without thinking too hard because it makes it more raw and entertaining. Even if what he's saying has truth in it, this is completely missing the purpose. He's not saying things for people to take to this level and make a national discussion about it. Don't put this shit under a telescope on this level or you're potentially destroying how raw it will be able to be in the future.

Pretty curious to see that it seems the only people agreeing with Bill here are a certain type of people.

That said, who gives a fuck what a comedian says about politics on a comedy podcast?

Especially when we aren't supposed to take what comedians say seriously according to the same people championing Bill Burr for shitting on CNN while ignoring him shitting on Trump in the same breath.

I dunno if any of that was about me. But Id just like to point out I haven't took a side. I don't watch CNN and have no idea how they operate. My comment is simply in favor of letting there be media forms where we don't take everything too serious. If Bill Burr went on a talk show or actual CNN and said this, I'd get it. But I see podcasts as friends just bullshitting. I hate the idea of literal everything being put under a telescope. Comedian Podcast (excluding Joe Rogans) is one the last places where it seems like we were free of this and didn't have to dramatize everything.

You are clueless if you think someone is a "certain way" because they agree with Burr. Most people listen to him because it's funny and it's preferable to sanitized horse**** that gets filtered through the military industrial complex. Kinda hilarious but spot on for the NY Post to conveniently ignore the part where he trashed Fox, lmao.

D'ohhhh Jeeeesus

Yeah and so do a lot of people but that's not reality. People at his level don't get jailed. Just the sad reality of the situation, it does no good to obsess over something that'll never happen.

yes, lets ignore him like everyone tried to do in the 2016 primary, that'll work out real well...

Every news agency was obsessed with Trump once he declared he would run. Talk show hosts like Colbert and Oliver trashed him relentlessly and even taunted him before his declaration, but all that negative publicity was embedding him in the publics mind.

Nobody was ignoring Trump. He was a goldmine for the media and comedians. Bill Burr is right.

He's partially right about why they're talking about him, but of course they're gonna talk about him. He's still easily the most important politician in the country other than Biden himself with a grip on the balls of one of the two major parties in this country. That's not because of the media talking about him, it's an independent fact.

This is way too reminiscent of all the people who said that the media were causing racial discord by focusing on police brutality and systemic racism because it helped ratings. Maybe they did do it for ratings, but it's just a way to blame cultural enemies rather than the country as a whole for the country's problems.

That's why conservatives are loving these comments, he blames the media for that they did. Conservatives are the ones who went out and cast votes for Trump, not the corporate or liberal media.

https://nypost.com/2021/07/17/bill-burr-savages-cnn-as-un-american-pieces-of-st-who-want-trump-for-ratings/

Bill Burr savaged CNN anchors this week as moronic, America-hating blowhards who secretly covet a second Trump presidency because hes good for ratings. I swear to God, I cannot believe people watch that channel. Theyre so dumb, blared the bombastic comedian and The Mandalorian star in a blistering, foul-mouthed rant on his podcast this week. Theyre fucking treasonous un-American pieces of shit, Burr, 53, said of the news network. Burrs outburst aired on the Thursday edition of his Bills Monday Morning Podcast. He launched into his anti-CNN tirade around the 15-minute mark. The comedian said hes triggered by his mother-in-law who comes over to babysit his children. She always puts on CNN. And do you know what those fucking morons are doing? Do you know what those fucking morons are doing?! Theyre fucking talking about Trump, Burr seethed with increasing exasperation. He indicated that the network is obsessed with the former president because hes good for business while bore President Biden is a ratings disaster.

Its like, do you think these people give a fuck whos president? They want Darth Vader to come back. They want him to come back. Because they had nothing to talk about, because its show business, and Joe Biden is a fucking bore. They cant bitch about [Biden] because hes wearing a blue tie a Democrat, in other words. So now what do they do? Theyre going out there, theyre doing what they did the first time to get this guy [Trump] elected, by giving him all this free coverage, while they act like they allegedly dont like him. I dont buy it. I dont buy it. They are a corporate news channel. CNN has hemorrhaged viewers since Trump left office, with second-quarter primetime viewership down 68 percent year to year the most of any cable news network according to Nielsen data. The Washington Times reported earlier this year that CNN lost 45 percent of its prime-time audience in the five weeks after Trump left office.


he is right
