Trump Wants CNN, NBC Off Air for Spurning His Iowa Victory Speech
thedailybeast.com

“ Donald Trump lashed out Tuesday at a pair of cable networks not named Fox News for their decision not to air all of his Iowa caucuses victory speech as it happened, suggesting that what they did was so heinous that they should “have their licenses, or whatever they have, taken away.”

Dictators gonna dictate.

CNN is literally following their own 2016 election playbook giving him non-stop coverage and downplaying any risk he poses to the constitution and democracy.

Fuck CNN.

CNN was bought out by a right wing billionaire.

They were barely centrist beforehand, and now they're sliding subtly further and further right-wing in their reporting.

One of those pieces of shit was literally quoted saying fox fucking news was a good model to follow... That they have "real journalism" surrounded by opinion shows...

Yeah guy, and if you paid any attention at all you'd know that Fox viewers HATED the real journalists like Shepard Smith because he had to actually read news and not orders handed down as to what to say...

CNN is just going to be Fox lite soon enough... Just what we needed. Not one less propaganda outlet, but one more terrible one...
