Former CNN producer dishes on how network became so fervently and obviously anti-Trump

May 26, 2020 | Jon Dougherty | Print Article
 

A former digital producer for CNN who is conservative in his political views has explained how the network became so vehemently opposed to President Donald Trump and his administration, even to the point of publishing one fake news report about him after another.

In an interview with TownHall, Steve Krakauer, founder of the “Fourth Watch” newsletter, which serves as a media watchdog, said that having worked for CNN gives him insight and perspective he otherwise would not have.

Krakauer said he’s noticed a big difference in the way the network reported in the early 2010s — when President Obama and Vice President Biden were in office — and the way CNN began reporting after Trump won in 2016.

So, tell me republican NeverTrumper, where did you learn that Trump...is a racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic; colluded with Putin to subvert an election; put children in cages; asked for Ukrainian quid pro quo for Joe; is financially profiting from the presidency; failed to act quickly enough to Corona, is planning to subvert 2020 election...etc...etc...etc...etc...etc. My point is...

Orange man is not bad. CNN is and you have been played.

Do me a favor? Learn from history, do your own research, and stop being a tool of the Left.

I hope that mouth frothing rant was directed toward the CNN rep instead of Ranger.  He posts many articles, of varying political persuasions.  You guys are becoming unhnged experts in sniping messengers.

You're way out of line, there.

No way was he speaking about @rangerrebew !

You guys have become unhinged....

Baloney, in the world of keyboards, implied emotion, and recent Trump apologist prose,  is sometimes tough to discern.  (See Legal American)

The bias predates OhBummer! In the mid-late 90s CNN was aptly nicknamed the Clinton News Network.

I remember them admitting they covered up things happening with Saddam in Iraq so they could maintain their office there.

Bernard Shaw refusing to be debriefed by the DoD after spending the night in baghdad during the first Gulf War bombing started because he didn't want to lose his "objectivity".

@catfish1957 and a few others have a right to ask that question and react the way he did based on the frothy mouth rhetoric of the past by certain members here.

And the @aligncare post in question was the definition of vague as to who it was directed towards.

Yep.  And Peter Arnett was essentially broadcasting Iraqi propaganda including the story on the baby milk factory bombing.

Jeepers, I forgot to put the S on NeverTrumper, it was meant to be plural. Ranger knows my position and I know his and that I wasn’t referring to him. It was a general statement.

There's a much better way of asking.  To hell with that, and to hell with you, too.

FWIW, I took your whole post as addressing a hypothetical N-T'er, not ranger.

Awww you got your feathers ruffled.  How cute.

Being familiar with @aligncare ‘s posting history it was pretty obvious what he meant.

Nah. I knew all I needed to about Tumpy before the election cycle, and proven by what he did to Cruz.
No class.
no character.
Nothing yet to disprove that at all.

I certainly wasn’t thinking of you in my rant. I was hoping to persuade the persuadable. You certainly are not, especially regarding Trump. 

[DCPatriot]

Awww you got your feathers ruffled.  How cute.

Not at all.

You're an ass for not apologizing to @aligncare  and/or giving him the benefit of the doubt. 

You've surely 'known' him for 4 years.

Instead, you want to keep your personal WTF with me going.

You've completely derailed the thread being 3rd man in betwen @catfish1957 and myself.

Go home and get your shine box.

I'll give an apology equivalent to the ones I've gotten from people of your ilk acting exactly like you are now.

Former CNN Digital Producer on How the Network Has Become the Anti-Trump Channel
Townhall, May 25, 2020

[...]

All that changed in 2016, "where there became this feeling of this existential fight with the person in the White House... I think Trump, in a lot of ways, embraced this fight and it became a mission of CNN, I believe, to counter the presidency. And that was not there necessarily before in the feeling of wanting to counter on the other side and I think that has completely changed the output you see both on CNN, but also behind the scenes."

Always thought it was hilarious through the years that all the Muslim anti-American protest signs were in English.  I suspect that 95% of these were all crude staged productions.

If the English was good, probably staged by CNN-folk.

In Iraq they'd show up across the road from our FOB with "protest signs" in what was an attempt at English.  Talk about your crude staged productions.
