Good day all, it\u2019s been almost three weeks since the Greatest President of the 21st<\/sup> Century, Donald Trump, attended a Town Hall event with CNN. The reviews have been very favorable to President Trump. This has set off the moonbats, morons and meatheads working at CNN.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

You would think that after a couple of weeks, the CNN employees would just move on from all this. Of course, that would imply that there is any ability for the average employee of CNN to engage in rational thought. Instead, they\u2019ve been ramping up the attacks on the CEO, Chris Licht for holding the event in the first place. Here are the details from Fox News<\/b><\/a>:<\/p>\n

CNN staffers are rallying behind their colleague Christiane Amanpour, who offered a blistering criticism of their network’s Trump town hall<\/a>, undermining their boss Chris Licht, who continues to stand behind the TV special.\u00a0 <\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Amanpour went on a tear during a commencement address she gave Wednesday at the Columbia Journalism School, revealing she confronted Licht with her opposition of the kind of platform CNN gave to former President Trump last week.<\/b><\/p>\n

I think that critical mass is being reached at CNN, and that these morons are painting, or trying to paint, Licht into a corner. They\u2019re probably trying to get him removed or force him to resign. I don\u2019t think they\u2019ve figured out how corporate America actually works. This doesn’t surprise me since most of them are dumbass commies, limousine liberals and Manhattan Marxists.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

CNN’s left-wing media reporter Oliver Darcy made Amanpour’s comments the lead story on his “Reliable Sources” newsletter, putting it above the network’s announcement that it had selected Kaitlan Collins, who moderated the town hall, to fill the long-vacant 9 p.m. ET timeslot. He also wrote a separate article published on CNN’s website.<\/p>\n

There was a story in the New York Post regarding Oliver Darcy\u2019s comments<\/a>.<\/p>\n

CNN denied reports that media reporter Oliver Darcy will leave the network after the \u201cReliable Sources\u201d writer was reportedly called on the carpet by cable boss Chris Licht for airing internal backlash over the town hall with former President Donald Trump. <\/b><\/p>\n

Darcy, who replaced Brian Stelter as the network\u2019s top media voice, wondered aloud to colleagues whether he should quit or if he would be fired after he was summoned to a meeting with Licht on Thursday, according to Semafor<\/a>. <\/b><\/p>\n

It seems that Licht didn\u2019t fire this idiot, although he should have. Sometimes, examples need to be made on who is actually running things. Returning to the Fox News Stor<\/a>y, you can see that the Moonbats are in full flight. Darcy\u2019s story was reposted and retweeted by many of the \u201cTop Names\u201d inside CNN.<\/p>\n

“Speaking truth to power is a fundamental part of our job but to speak truth to the power that signs your checks? ?@amanpour showing everyone how it\u2019s done,” CNN chief international investigative correspondent Nima Elbagir praised her colleague while sharing the article.\u00a0 <\/b><\/p>\n

Truth to power. That is a standard mantra from the hard left. In any case, the Fox story lists a number of people inside CNN who shared the tweets, many of them saying that Amanpour was brave and correct and that basically, CNN must remain a Democrat Propaganda service.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As I mentioned, these morons are putting Chris Licht into a tough spot, but they don\u2019t understand that hen holds all the cards, not the staffers. He was brought in to turn CNN around and both make it profitable and try to rebuild it\u2019s reputation. He\u2019s already fired people like Mr. Potatohead<\/i><\/span> Brian Stelter and more recently Don Lemon. If push comes to shove, he\u2019s going to have no choice but to fire Christiane Amanpour and others. He does have the support of his managers.<\/p>\n

Despite the hostility the CNN chief has been facing by employees and external critics alike in the wake of the Trump town hall, Licht has found support from his own boss, Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav, who said this week Licht is “working really hard” to restore CNN’s journalistic credibility.\u00a0 <\/b><\/p>\n

One of the ways to restore the credibility was with the Trump Town Hall. From what I have been reading, it was a ratings hit for CNN. Of course, when the staff of CNN is made up of hard left Trump haters such as Amanpour, who can\u2019t seem to get it through their thick heads that CNN stands for Cable News Network, they feel it\u2019s just fine to go nuts.<\/p>\n

Amanpour called the Trump town hall an “earthquake” and disagreed with Licht that former President Trump should have been given “that particular format” and opposed that it aired live and included the unruly audience. <\/b><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I assume that by \u201cUnruly,\u201d she means people who support President Trump and approved the answers he gave. Amanpour would have preferred an audience made up of Democrat Operatives and Antifa thugs. She would have been perfectly fine with them shouting down President Trump and potentially physically attacking him. (Which would have gotten most of them killed when the Secret Service opened fire on them)<\/p>\n

She also appeared to swipe Collins, telling the crowd “We know Trump and his tendencies, everyone does. He just seizes the stage and dominates no matter how much flak the moderator tries to aim at the incoming. It doesn’t often work. For me, I would have dropped the mic at \u2018nasty person,\u2019 but then that’s me. I’ve been in the ring for a long time with many of these people.” <\/b><\/p>\n

So, you would have made it all about you? Perhaps you might want to consider that people wanted actual, intelligent questions and not political propaganda and so called \u201cGotcha\u201d questions. It reasoning like yours that has turned CNN into ratings joke. People don\u2019t watch CNN for the simple reason that they want news and information, not political propaganda and reeducation masquerading as news.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Perhaps it\u2019s time for Chris Licht and the board of directors to put their collective feet down hard. The best way to do this is to make examples of people like Christiane Amanpour. She should be called into the Licht\u2019s office, made to wait 10-15 minutes, and the Licht comes in and flat out tells her that her services are no longer required, and have her escorted by security from the building. Throw in a few others and put the fear of unemployment into them. If you really want to put the screws to them, outsource it to this guy.<\/p>\n
