CNN President Brian Stelter Schooled by Veteran Journalist Ted Koppel

Yes, he made my point. He gets 250,000 viewers within 24 hours of posting a video on Youtube from his kitchen. CNN gets 500,000 or less for their shows. If CNN loses credibility people will go to Youtube, or other internet outlets. They'll get their news from Australia, of the BBC, or dare I even say it, FOX.

He also points out that FOX has more viewers than CNN and MSNBC combined. So why the crying about the liberal media, the conservative media is quite capable of balancing out the liberal media.

There is one hysterically funny portion where he shows a clip from CNN with their breaking news that Kavanaugh once threw ice at someone in a bar and he asked the talking head if this were disqualifying and she responded "This is why we need an FBI investigation"!?!

I am now going to use that line at school every chance I can -- "This is why we need an FBI investigation" that is hysterical. Yes, call the FBI a kid in college 35 years ago is accused of throwing ice in a bar. Like I said the Democrats have snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.

Here is Nancy Pelosi describing established Democratic smear tactics, colluding with the liberal Press.

Former Speaker Pelosi: "The Republicans don’t want the voters to see that contrast, so they focus on something else."

"It’s a diversionary tactic. It’s a self-fulfilling prophesy. You demonize them. We call it the wrap-up smear . . . You smear somebody with falsehoods and all the rest and then you merchandise it."

"And then you [speaking to the press] write it, and they’ll say, see it’s reported in the press . . . so they have that validation, that the press reported the smear, and then it’s called the ‘wrap-up smear.’"

"And now I’m going to merchandize the press’s report on the smear that we made. [Shrugging and smirking] It’s a tactic. And it’s, it’s self-evident."

There you have it folks. Caught on video. Let's see how it works.

Demonize Kavanaugh, check.
Smear somebody with falsehoods “and all the rest,” check.
Merchandize falsehoods-based smear, check.
Get press to report falsehoods-based smear, check.
Merchandize “validation” of press reports on falsehoods-based smear, check.

And posters here wonder why I say real journalism is dying, and the Democratic Party is totally corrupt.

If all these people in power only spoke the truth there would be no need for real journalists. Real journalism is not simply taking the word of those in power, it is about finding the truth when they are trying to lie to you.

You keep saying the right things at the wrong time.

What about an entire room of journalists being instructed by Pelosi how to destroy someone, and then watching it play out with Kavanaugh?

What would happen if some journalist at NYT, WaPo, ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, AP, CNN, etc. brought this story to their boss?

Those are not "real journalists" they are false prophets. We saw in the OT The Kings surrounded by false prophets. This has been what it has been about for thousands of years, stop trying to think that things are worse now than before. This is why it is the honor of God's people to speak the truth.

Pelosi was talking about what she claimed was a tactic Republicans are using. The video was edited to remove the context and thus distort what she was saying. If you watch the C-SPAN video the excerpt was cut from you can see what she was actually saying in context and how it was distorted by the editor of the clip and then put out to smear her...an ironic case in point.

The bottom line is smear, innuendo, and false witnesses are as old as the books of Moses. Or, as old as Potipher's wife. Claiming that the Republicans invented this or the Democrats invented this is indicative of someone who is clueless about history.
