CNN is so far entrenched within its own echo chamber reality that even as the network faces multiple scandals involving sexual abuse and pedophilia, as its CEO was forced to resign, and as well as losing 90% of its viewers, guests and hosts are still claiming the network is the tip of the spear of media credibility.
A most hilarious example of this came over the weekend as CNN’s potato headed host Brian Stelter platformed Media Studies Professor David Zurawik who declared that the network literally “saved democracy” in America.
“CNN is one of the stations of all the television broadcast networks and cable channels it pushed harder from 2016 to 2020 against Trump and it was part of the fire wall that I think has saved democracy this far under Jeff Zucker,” Zurawik stated.
That will be the Jeff Zucker who just resigned for allegedly having an affair with a CNN colleague.
Clearly in total denial, Stelter replied “That is a very important piece of context for the conversations that I’ve been having the last few days about Zucker’s exit. I know a lot of people blame him for enabling Trump, others praise him for holding the line and even taking Trump to court when–here at CNN.”
Watch:
CNN peddled ‘Russia stole the 2016 election’ crap for five years straight, and continues to do so. Stelter has campaigned for outright censorship of any and all of CNN’s competitors no matter who they are. The notion that he or the network saved anything is patently ludicrous.
