BEASTMODE: CNN’s Ratings Are Lower Than 'SpongeBob' Reruns, GOP Rep Tells Jim Acosta

‘And that’s why more people are watching the Cartoon Network, 'Spongebob' reruns right now,' Burchett says

Rep. Tim Burchett (R., Tenn.) skewered CNN’s poor ratings Wednesday, joking to anchor Jim Acosta that SpongeBob SquarePants reruns and Cartoon Network get more viewers.
 
"I was at the White House covering the first Trump administration when they had rioting outside of the White House. I mean, that was covered on CNN. This is not Fox [News]," Acosta said. "Congressman, you can‘t just spin a tale and pull the wool over people‘s eyes. This is CNN. This is the news. We are asking you to come on and tell the truth."

"And that’s why more people are watching the Cartoon Network, SpongeBob reruns right now, Jim," Burchett retorted.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Don't besmirch the impeccable reputation of Sponge Bob Square Pants by dragging him into the same discussion as the Clinton News Network.

I don't speak Spanish but would rather watch the Mexican channel than watch the Communist News Network. :BangComp:

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
Sponge Bob is ultimately more entertaining.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

CNN is laying off 200-400 people today. That says it all regardless of what Jim Accost-her has to say.  :silly:

Some of those Novellas (SP?) get pretty racey, even you don't understand a word.

Brilliant takedown.

They can be used as white noise to fall asleep which is still better than watching CNN. :yowsa:

They say "love" is the universal language.

...  This is CNN. This is the news. We are asking you to come on and tell the truth.

In what year did CNN give up the MSM-lie that Hunter's laptop was Russian propaganda? Has CNN admitted this?

In what year did CNN give up the Hillary-crafted Trump-Russia-Collusion MSM-lie? Has CNN admitted this?

Has CNN admitted that the Trump-did-nothing-about-Covid-for-two-months claim was utterly false, a Dem lie?

I could go on and on ... the bleach lie ... the horse-wormer lie ... the neo-Nazis-are-good-people lie ... the suckers-and-losers lie ...
I am not and never have been a leftist.

If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

  • Didn't vote for McCain Dole Romney Trump !
Funny come back, but I am going against the grain here, I had rather watch CNN (knowing it is Superman Bizarro World News, reversing all political statements) than watch Spongebob the brain rot. I can watch Bob the Builder and every Veggietales, but can't take something like Squarepants. The stupid it hurts so bad on some kid focused comics on C.C. that I could tolerate to transcribe CNN with fact conversions on the fly better. I might have to be strapped in a chair (w/ toothpicked eyelids) to watch either for any length of time.
