    A CNN insider reveals what he saw behind the scenes at the cable news giant and the investigation that revealed even more shocking secrets.

    I'd have a modicum of respect for your opinion, if you'd ever lived in the USA and watched CNN and Fox News
    As it is you're just a mouthpiece for Trump and you seem to have swallowed his toxic rhetoric wholesale

    You're more ignorant that Trump's MAGA crowd, at least they live in the USA. Whereas you regurgitate long distance sound bites you probably saw on YouTube.

    Maggie was still to the left of the US Democrat party.

    Ronald Reagan served as the 40th President of the United States from 1981 to 1989. A member of the Republican Party from 1962 onward.
    On his death, Margaret Thatcher said, We have lost a great president, a great American, and a great man, and I have lost a dear friend.

    They were as one politically, so to say she was to the left of the Democrat party is frankly absurd.

    Perhaps they were on some issues, like opposition to Soviet expansionism and UK sovereignty over the Falklands (though it has to be said that support for Britain in the Falklands war has a few opponants in the Republican party - like the US ambassador to the UN)

    But on economic and social issues, the British Conservative party and the US Republican party were and are miles apart

    The US Democrat party is somewhat to the right of the British Conservative party too - even the Conservative government of Margaret Thatcher
    If you doubt this, tell me one "left wing" policy of the Democrat party and measure it up to the policies of the current Conservative government, in the UK.

    Saying that the Conservative party = the Republican party, is political ignorance in the extreme.

    Please tell me what you understand as "the left"

    The "left" in US politics is the Democrat party
    But the Democrat party sits easily to the right in British politics

    I think it's funny that you can parrot MAGA views on CNN, without ever having lived in the US or watch CNN on TV
    (and watching it for 10 mins on your hotel's cable, on a week's trip to Orlando doesn't count)

    In short, when it comes to US politics, you don't know what the f**k you're talking about.


    But go on, I challenge you to identify CNN "clowns" and cite examples of your perceived poor journalism
    What do you think about MSNBC or CBS News ?
    You have no idea do you? Because you never watch US television news.

    Really?
    Let's see.

    No-one said they did - try reading what others say before engaging in wild ad-hom attacks. It'll help you looking less like an ignorant idiot.


    "When the debate is lost, slander becomes the tool of the losers" - quote attributed to Socrates
    Try to stop being less of a dick.

    I know you never watch US television news because of your ignorant comments
    CNN didn't report on "peaceful protests". Yes, there was some violence, and CNN called out when it happened - you're just parroting a MAGA lie that was debunked years ago
    (Both organizations have Marxist roots Btw, and as such cannot be associated with the Democrat party)

    Fox News also repeated Trump's "very fine people on both sides" crap after the Neo Nazi attack on a genuinely peaceful process, in Charlottesville. But I guess you were OK with that ?

    You know **** all, you spout the usual leftist bollox, that has been spoonfed to you, apparently a symptom of severe TDS is to parrot what the extreme far left msm tell the weak minded who can't think for themselves, you need to take a pill, stop watching Don Lemon, Whoopi Golberg and the other mentalists on the view, you may come out the other side, I doubt it though, you seem to have gone full ******, never go full ****** <laugh>

    "When the debate is lost, slander becomes the tool of the losers"

    Your response to OLOF confirms you have lost,

    Time to close the debate.
