David Ellison can’t be trusted with CNN (jenniferschulze.substack.com)

We've already seen how Ellison has wrecked CBS. Don't fall for his PR push on CNN.

There's a full scale PR campaign to convince you that David Ellison is serious about fact based news. Bullsh*t. If that were true, he would have hired someone with actual news experience to run CBS News. There's no way this guy should control CNN, too. jenniferschulze.substack.com/p/david-elli...

If he takes it over he will burn it down to the ground with direct strict orders from his orange leader. It already has lost it’s integrity. He will just drive the last nail into the coffin ⚰️ . Another state run TV network. Funny, they’re always talking about communism. I’m just saying…

CNN was lost long ago. They have been doing both side isms for years. Never pressing the Admin. on their deceitful claims w/ appropriate follow up ??. Allowing the last word to liars. They tried to be the mid-stream between the leftwing MSNOW & FOX on the right. But there is no middle ground/1

sam1am4bg.bsky.social · 0 · 2h ago

Between democracy & dictatorship. You have to choose one or the other. But mostly their job is to give us truthful & useful information not propaganda & lies. You cannot treat them as the same. As simply different points of view. They are not! Complete fiction has no value in political discourse!/2

sam1am4bg.bsky.social · 0 · 2h ago

To function as if it does is dangerous, that deceitful rhetoric has value is an abdication of journalistic integrity. If we can't trust media to high standards regarding slander & libel than how can we ever know what's true & what isn't. It's their job to inform & educate us w/ facts. Not /3

Infrastructure that most perfectly enabled a pathological liar & gave him the perfected megaphone of influence that insured his claim to power. Not bc he was ever the better man. But bc FOX knew what they had conditioned their audience to want & Trump knew how to tell them what they wanted to hear/6

We have a two party system, one believes in our democracy & Constitution, the other does not. If we still want a democracy we can no longer pretend to find a non existent middle ground. We are at that point of not left or right but rather RIGHT or wrong!/7

Even if he was serious about fact-based news, it's a bad idea to have multiple major news outlets in the hands of a single person. The US major media market is already overly consolidated and in need of a fix for that.

I really don't give a fuck about CNN. I've always hated the salaciousness. Then, they gave Trump a FREE rally on their own, no other candidate got that. Now it appears it wants to consolidate all their sins under an out-of-control idiot who happens to be rich. Just like all the rest of them.

CNN turned hardcore right wing years ago. When Scott Jennings was elevated into every panel discussion I quit watching. The anchors provide no push back on lies either. And the love presenting this as NORMAL, IT IS NOT NORMAL.

While I agree wholeheartedly with you, I also see why what he said aligns with his views. You have to have a pretty twisted piece of the coke bottle to view the world through where fact-based news is considered "fake news", and what he peddles is considered fact-based. Ellison's have that in common.

CNN puts people like Nancy Mace and Scott Bessent on the air and won't challenge their lies. Sure, it can get worse but maybe they deserve to go away along with CBS.

roofrack99.bsky.social · 2 · 2h ago

I've worked in a major news department and seen how the editorial rules can be used to pull a story in any direction you like, no matter how many people control it or what the rules are. The only thing that really matters is who is at the top and what they want.
