What is it about CNN that gets under that orange skin so much?

[ginnyinWI]

What have I missed. I don't watch cable--are they or have they been particularly hard on Donnie? More than other networks? Why pick on them, when MSNBC are just as much against him, or more so.

What is the prevailing DU opinion about CNN? What way do they lean these days, or are they in the middle? Back in the Bush days, people here thought they were sucking up to Dubya. But we cut the cable cord in 2010 so I haven't been watching closely since.

1. They refuse to kiss the ring. That's the long and short of it.

And yes, while CNN is far from perfect, it's still a legitimate news organization and I'm glad it's not one to kiss the ring.

2. A person by the name of Zucker.

He was the Guy who pitched the Show Apprentice to NBC. Can you say P------ Grabber Tape and more to come.

3. I think they are particularly peeved with him

because of they way that they have been treated at press conferences and in tweets...

I think there position is fair. They have been much mailigned by the Orange fool. It is justice that they report him as he really is with orange warts and festoring boils.

4. I think it started with Chris Cuomo (son of Mario, brother of Andrew).

It's a New Yawk thang!

You know how the Dotard holds a grudge!

Well, Chris Cuomo was particularly "incredulous" when Con Way and other mouthpieces spewed their lies to start the day - and he said they wouldn't be back on his show.

Downhill from there!

7. Chris Cuomo guns...

5. He berates them simply to pander to his base

It's a time tested RW thing to say the media is lying. It's like an abusive father telling his family not to talk to the neighbors so they won't find out how odd their situation is.

6. Jim Acosta and Don Lemon

Anderson's pecs..

8. That it isn't Fox

9. I hadn't watched CNN ...

... in a decade - but went back the minute Trump labelled them as "fake news". I knew the gloves would come off with that statement, and they certainly did.

They have been pretty relentless in going after Trump & Co.
