Is the pendulum swinging?

Supreme Court lifts stay (most of it anyway) on the "travel ban." 

Loretta Lynch starting to come under scrutiny. She will burn the Clintons to save her own ass if it comes down to it.

Unscrupulous Bernie Sanders being exposed. 

The public has little appetite for or interest in the prolonged bullshit of the "collusion" and "obstruction" investigations, which any but the loony see little merit in continuing. 

Is it possible we are on the verge of entering a (probably brief) period of time where the media finds actual rabbits to chase as opposed to shadows of fake rabbits?

Is it possible we are on the verge of entering a (probably brief) period of time where the media finds actual rabbits to chase as opposed to shadows of fake rabbits?

This story from last night certainly appears to indicate so.

CNN is imposing strict new publishing restrictions for online articles involving Russia after the network deleted a story and then issued a retraction late Friday, according to an internal email obtained by BuzzFeed News.

The email went out at 11:21 a.m. on Saturday from Rich Barbieri, the CNNMoney executive editor, saying "No one should publish any content involving Russia without coming to me and Jason [Farkas]," a CNN vice president.

"This applied to social, video, editorial, and MoneyStream. No exceptions," the email added. "I will lay out a workflow Monday."

The new restrictions also apply to other areas of the network — not just CNNMoney, which wasn't involved with the article that was deleted and retracted.

CNN didn't immediately return a request for comment and a question about what the previous workflow was.

The deleted and retracted story claimed Senate investigators were looking into a Russian investment fund whose chief executive met with a member of President Trump’s transition team.

The now-deleted story was published Thursday and cited a single, unnamed source who claimed that the Senate Intelligence Committee was looking into a "$10-billion Russian investment fund whose chief executive met with a member of President Donald Trump's transition team four days before Trump's inauguration."

A source close to the network, who requested anonymity to discuss the matter, told BuzzFeed News earlier that the story was a "massive, massive fuck up and people will be disciplined." The person said CNN Worldwide President Jeff Zucker and the head of the company's human resources department are "directly involved" in an internal investigation examining how the story was handled.

I think so

Because - for right now anyway - those stories (the rabbit shadows you mention) aren't leading to anything story wise. Not what they had wanted. And that is not good for them. What they will chase though are things that will or may lead to something which is good for them and their brand. At the end of the day it's a business decision. Boring stories about collusion that lead to a dead end are not good business. More juicy stories that have more promise of leading to something are good business.

I know right? CHICK-FIL-A???

Well that guy is fucked.

And I wouldn't fire the guy based on what he said. I might fire him for talking at all. But it looked like it was secretly taped.

He just told the truth. And the buck stops way above him. The CEO wants ratings, not truth in reporting. It's the nature of the beast.

Just like in politics. Regardless what dogooders say, negative campaign ads work. CNN knows ratings trump truth.

I see through it and don't trust them. Or, the media in general.  I wish more viewers did.

The guy works for CNN.  If he's too stupid to know he's probably being taped by someone who keeps asking him bullshit questions about politics he doesn't have any business working for any major news agency.

You'd be better served to just gloss over most of WT's posts. Most of us do.

Only one homo has liked your post. So far, anyway.

Edit: make it 2.

[CCTAU]

The media is very quiet about the ban.
They jumped all over the ninth's decision, but crickets about this.

The hits keep coming.

[War Eagle!!!]

The hits keep coming.

Yesterday's video has 2,000,000 views. This video had 30,000 views when I looked.

Are the only ones paying attention the ones that don't watch CNN anyway?

What if I told you the pendulum was never really there?

I heard Soros controls the pendulum.
