CNN

No, CNN has not changed.

I watched some of their coverage immediately after. One “analyst” complained DT was “shaking his fist and shouting fight fight fight” and said the country doesn’t need that kind of language right now. They wanted to see him covered in blood and cowering in fear. They know this was a powerful image of a powerful, determined man that will not be stopped.

Another stated we don’t need to be talking about “vengeance” right now. This is a reference to DT saying his “vengeance” will be success.

I saw another, MBC?, claiming the reporters don’t feel safe at the Repub convention.

They’ve been calling DT Hitler, mentally unstable, a dictator, a fascist, a racist, the greatest threat to democracy the country has ever faced for 8 years. Their rhetoric contributed to the current divisions in the country.

I won’t give them a pass though have one commentator stumble across saying something positive about DT.

peace to you

 

Psalms 118:8-9 It is better to trust in the LORD
Than to put confidence in man.
It is better to trust in the LORD
Than to put confidence in princes.

Psalms 146:3 Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man,
In whom there is no help.

 

Oh, I am not saying you are looking to any mere mortal as a "savior". But I know in throughout history, as well as in the present day, people have looked to mere mortals as a "savior". Such people are so caught up in this present, carnal world that they think it can be made into a "heaven on earth", folks who want to rebuild paradise by their own efforts after Adam and Eve were kicked out of it, instead of looking forward to the return of Christ and the destruction of this present heavens and earth and the establishment of the new heavens and earth wherein dwells righteousness.

 

Can't blame you for that. After the riot at the national capitol on 1/6/2021, I didn't go out of my way to watch or listen to news or politics for a while. I am back into that same mode starting last Saturday evening; maybe for a while again or maybe permanently.

 

Or for me, in watching the Republican and Democratic Parties, it is like watching a Yankees vs. Dodgers game; I want both teams to lose. In the case of the Republican and Democratic Parties, if we had a properly functioning political system, then they both could lose in a presidential race, as they should based on how terribly they have ruled the United States during the first 24 years of the 21st century.

 

On debate night, I thought the CNN moderators did a good job, asking questions that did not overly favor the Left.

OTOH, manipulators will take an occasional position to provide cover, while covertly putting their thumbs on the scale.

 

Sort of waded back into the news today and it seems that the assassination attempt on Donald Trump has basically come and gone in the news coverage, probably because the GOP convention started so soon afterward and then after Trump speaks tonight the attention in the news will be on if, or ,I am hearing in the news, when, President Biden will withdraw from the presidential race(I wouldn't be surprised if it is during a national address on this coming Sunday evening or Monday evening).

So I have already got back into paying attention to the news again(I thought the assassination attempt might occupy the news for a month, now it seems to be on to the investigation of the Secret Service and local law enforcement and their failures), especially since a Biden withdrawal would be the first by a sitting president running for reelection since Lyndon Johnson did so in 1968. I remember watching his speech as a 12 year old kid without having any idea he was going to do that. A Biden withdrawal will certainly make what was shaping up to be an extremely boring(from a non-Democrat/non-Republican perspective) presidential race into one that could be quite interesting.

 

Don't know. I refuse to watch the Communist News Network.

 

When did he assure Dems he wouldn't seek a second term? I missed that.

 

I watch real Americas Voice. It's free on Roku and Fire TV.
