It's not shocking at all. I dont watch CNN much, but from what I have seen its clear they do not ask or discuss the hard or controversial questions because they are awful, just like most of the others. At least this proves that they absolutely do it on purpose.
This was much more sinister. He basically was like you guys understand he's laying out a way to legally justify killing Americans the same way he's killing boat loads of Venezuelans?
Nobody said a word, then they chuckled nervously, said they would be dropping it and cut to commercial.
Downvoting this without even responding why you believe it's incorrect indicates that either: A. You didn't read the transcript or watch the video, B. you did read/watch it, but cannot put two and two together, or C. you know this is correct, and you are doing exactly what CNN did hoping we move on and stop talking about it.
I didnt down vote you, I just saw this now. I up voted it to offset it :)
I appreciate it, but I don't mind the downvotes. In fact if anyone disagrees or believes the statement is incorrect, I encourage downvotes and an explanation of why.
When something so dangerous seems to be deliberately ignored by most media outlets, downvoting a scary statement just because it's scary feels equivalent to just closing your eyes, covering your ears, and chanting this isn't happening over and over.
I feel like it's important people understand the reality of what we're really facing here. We all know we are living under an authoritarian leader, and that most media is currently owned and controlled by oligarchs. This isn't the first time we've found ourselves in this situation, and sadly it won't be the last. When this extremely dangerous, denial of reality, gaslighting shit happens, we need to talk about it instead of waiting for the media to be given the ok to do the right thing.
That is the point we are at in the U.S. If there isn't enough public pressure to expose something that this administration would prefer to keep under wraps, then it's never going to be exposed.
The clear consensus of the corporate world during this era is to suppress anything that could cause instability or anger. Even people who know things are fucked keep trudging on like business is normal because the truth is too hard to face.
