Takin' Out the Garbage
8 years ago
So, I found something good to talk about! Namely, a petition to Revoke CNN's White House Press Pass. What with having been allegedly caught interfering in the Democratic primaries and more recently having allegedly staged a "Muslims Against Terrorism" sort of protest in the UK, as well as generally being histrionic and trying to impede Conservatives at every turn, it seems like a good idea to revoke their special privileges granted by White House press passes.
I'm particularly looking forward to the sort of wailing and gnashing of teeth that will ensue, and the continued drop in salt prices.

There's also the story with the misleading map that made it out that Trump had an overwhelming victory and that only coastal counties voted predominantly democrat. iirc, the issue was in population density and not checking if the article they cited was a full survey or just a partial one.
I also found this: https://www.mediamatters.org/resear.....w-breit/168051
but for full disclosure i haven't read through or trust it yet. It also looks a little old. I'm sure reddit has a list or something you could google.
1. The roof of the church was not set alight; a scaffolding above the roof was.
2. I do not trust the German government anyway, not when they've been caught fabricating statistics and hiding the real crimes of Muslims for fear of being portrayed as Islamophobic.
3. This seems to indicate riot police were brought in; https://twitter.com/RN_Bandermann/s.....36699182116864
Even assuming the Washington Post is accurate, however, what they're accusing Breitbart of doesn't compare to the blatant lies and hypocrisy CNN has been caught doing.
I translated that title: "Syrians celebrate the armistice in their country", and the presence of riot police at a large gathering isn't any kind of indication of wrong doing. As for the church that was set on fire, it was a stray firework.
This isn't the only instance, but i'm not doing comparisons. If you want to ban CNN, go ahead and line up everyone else who's guilty of the same behavior. It's a slippery slope and you'll shoot yourself in the foot.

So, it would not surprise me if the German police were told to shut up about the attacks on themselves. The exact location of the fire seems like a mistake; and since they did not explicitly state that the rioters/crowd caused it, but it's quite possible that they did... Well, *shrugs* situation's up in the air.
But, back to CNN - they were caught fabricating news outright, and they were caught passing along questions for the debates to Hillary. So, yes, I think there's a qualitative difference between, say, Trump revoking CNN's press pass, and some hypothetical leftist president revoking Breitbart's. Mind, neither is a violation of Freedom of Speech - but even so, it's hilarious to watch CNN screech and wail about Trump, and support people like Antifa and BLM and Leftists in general (who are quite AGAINST free speech), and then would screech and wail about Trump violating freedom of speech by not giving them special privileges. THAT is what I find so deliciously hilarious.
