I was watching CNN this morning casually, the lead story was (Naturally) about Hillary and her emails. What was really shocking was the Republican Political Operative was allowed to blame the economic crisis on “Bill Clinton”. It is not clear if he mentioned the (FALSE) story line about the housing crisis being caused by poor people receiving government loans for houses they could not afford, but that was definitely the underlying story line. The Housing Crisis was all the fault of Bill Clinton, Barney Frank and all those Poor People.
I can’t figure out how to write CNN and tell them how nauseating I find their inability (unwillingness?) to challenge this false narrative. Finding this kind of false equivalence in the “Mainstream” media shows just how much work we have to do to take our country back from the Plutocratic interests. Remember, this was a show about the (Meh) scandal about the emails. The Republican Operative stuck dutifully to the Party Line.
How do we encourage the media to label this kind of talking head as the sadly misinformed liar he is? CNN does the country no service allowing these kind of narratives to go our unchallenged.
