(4,292 posts)Finally got to see it! Thanks for the link.
It immediately reminded me of an episode from the classic BBC comedy Red Dwarf.
Unlike the Shitgibbon and members of *Cult45, the Kryten (android) character is incapable of lying and cheating, so he relies on one of his shipmates to teach him.
Thanks for the throwback!

(53,410 posts)Are you just spreading lies to foment division and uncertainty? This must be exactly what Putin's been doing.
CNN has improved exponentially with every day that Trump is President. I've seen some of the most energetic debates and refutations coming from them. People like Chris Cuomo run circles around liars and prevaricators.
MSNBC's afternoon and evening lineup are also fact seekers of a very high order.
Maybe you should watch them instead of making things up.

(4,463 posts)... I suspect it's more because that's where the ratings are now since Trump has lost popularity and has created disaster after disaster during his time in office.
They will follow the ratings, and they have very little deviation from that model. They wanted the 2016 election to be a horse race because that was good for ratings. They covered Trump from sunrise to the late hours because he attracted viewers. Their false equivalency helped legitimize his campaign.
We should not forget that. They will do it again.

(3,847 posts)Maybe they should have focused on actual facts and policies instead of making this a fucking "reality show". A sexual predator, a known liar, strong business ties to Russia long before announcing as a candidate.
Calling out the hypocrisy of the "religious" RWNJ's for his 3 marriages and rampant infedelity, bancrupties and having no policy ideas what so ever.
Maybe they can actually try to get some Democrats in 2018 rather than continue to give these maniacs a platform.

That is gas lighting this filthy regime is spreading if you keep on repeating a lie over and over again they begin to believe it.

It's a great commercial, but CNN ...? Really?
