CNN contributor admits CNN has an anti-Republican bias

February 2, 2015

 During a segment on NewsmaxTV a CNN contributor, Ruben Navarrette, was weighing in on Mitt Romney’s announcement that he would not be running for President in 2016 and how he believes this decision will help Marco Rubio more so than Jeb Bush.

  During this segment he stated that MSNBC and Univision are precisely what many of us claim they are–namely the propaganda arm of the Democratic party. 

  However, when pressed on this issue by the host who stated many of the major networks seem to have an anti-Republican agenda he was offered the opportunity to exclude CNN from that list but refused to do so.

“I’ll leave CNN out of this, out of respect, because you work there, but what about NBC, CBS?” Malzberg asked. “A lot of people, including me, would say they’re totally biased against Republicans.”

“I agree. I would agree with that as well. I think CNN also fits that category as well at times,” Navarrette conceded.

“CNN’s bigger problem, and I think a lot of the network’s as well, they cover the wrong stories,” the columnist continued. “You know, they talk about Hollywood weddings and plane crashes and things. They have a real warped sense of what people want to see on television.”

  Here is the video:

  This is  of course not news to those of us who have been making this claim for years but it is extremely rare for somebody who works for a major network to admit the bias.

  CNN, and the other networks for that matter, are not in the news reporting business but are in the news making business, or perhaps more accurately, the news shaping business. And now they have been called out by one of their own–it will be interesting to see how long Ruben Navarrette has a job with CNN after this candid, although not surprising, admission.

    Maybe he is looking for a job with Fox.
    I must admit he did seem quite candid.

    He did state it didn’t he. It’s something how people are ‘conditioned’ not to speak out the truth of the matter. Rather, tippy-toe around it or act like they’re walking on eggshells. All of that just so the liars won’t be offended, is what it comes down to. I wonder Rubio isn’t just another extension, ‘masked’ arm of the same System beast. Him taking that ‘sip of water’ in the middle of a sentence on live tv comes to mind. To me it symbolizes something goofy. With all the ‘programing going on and handlers’ of both politician, entertainers and media news, things like that stand out as being connected in some way. It’s like stating the word “the one” activated something in his head, “Grab your water bottle and drink it.” (Manchurian candidate?) That might sound far fetch, but after watching the halftime symbolism it might not. The master source behind all these ‘leaders’, wants them to drink of his well and eat his fine food, which in Scripture is mimic of what the ONE of LIFE would have us digest. The pure water vs the fake. But, making Rubio stop right after stating what he did – like a suggested “hypnotized” thought – could very well be a signal to ‘the powers that be’ that he’s under their control and a willing vessel (puppet). So he might go far!

    For example, notice what happens to Al Roker after he hears the words Holy Ghost:

    Right after Rubio stated ‘the one’ his brain told him “must take a drink of water.”
    Reminds me too the stenographer who got up, walked to the podium and started talking – it was if she were ‘activated’ and off she went:

      It looks like Roker completely shut down, very strange! I never heard what the stenographer was before until I watched this video.

        Mentioning anything Christian is taboo it seems nowadays and Roker really looked like he thought somebody was going to get in trouble for that. This is how far the media has fallen…

      That is so strange, with Roker, it was as if he were frozen on camera. Who the hell know what is going on anymore, Zip, we know there is alot more ability to control people than we are told.

    The networks including Fox gives us little foreign news. This is getting to be my greatest gripe. They use to have press offices all over the world.

      FOX is becoming politically correct just like all the other channels. I am not so sure that “fair and balanced” would be what I consider them now. I tend to get what I consider closer to the truth on the internet instead of that damn tube. Once Obama has control of the internet, then where do we go for information? Might have to fire up those HAM radios and the shortwaves!

        Did you mean “mold”? Luckily we have never had a mold issue in any of them. Alot of times it happens when the power is off and no heat or air on and sumps are not working, then you might see mold build up, but we keep the power in our name between tenants. Good circulation is a must in basements. My husband is pretty good about keeping everything up and running properly, he says we are NOT slumlords and we know some of them. We fix houses up to where we would/could live in them. There is the white powdery mold that is not toxic and then there is the black mold that seems to be where there is alot of water either leaking from pipes or drains or coming inside from an area not sealed. That black mold is what is dangerous, but we have never (knock on wood) had to deal with that.
        As to the “Hammers”, I have keep my license up just in case I ever need it and it looks like that could be in the near future, doesn’t it?

        Yes, mold! ‘Hold the mold’. Thanks for the info Lou. I see online that there are kits one can use themselves instead of hiring out – good that you keep up w/ what you can & know to.
        My eyes jumped right over ‘keep’ – my brain must’ve known what you meant and didn’t think it something to stop the ‘train of thought’ for! … you must be picking up what I have from the ChemTrails! I suppose if we’re all stupid we won’t notice will we!
        Those MK-Ulra programs were suppose to have been shut down years ago. All these did was go dark(er) and continued to enhance the projects. Many in the music industry are involved. Look at how those Disney kids have turned out – many said they’re victims of this: Miley, Spear, M. Jackson, etc. Another think about ‘the measles outbreak’ starting at the Disney park. No coincidence, they’re part of the big 6 media controllers in the world. And their movies are very ‘symbolic’ of the Agenda’s forward plan. http://www.businessinsider.com/these-6-corporations-control-90-of-the-media-in-america-2012-6 (might want to get a battery backup – or a manual generator box!- for you HAM).

        I am pretty set for batteries, etc…and there are enough repeaters around town to use, just have not talked on the radio for awhile…must brush the stuff off just in case! We have a crank short wave radio as well.
        As for the mold, I know there are people that will come in and scare the hell out of you about black mold and then tell you an outlandish price to treat it. We know people that just take bleach water in a pump pressure sprayer you might use that has a tank, hose and spray nozzle and soak whatever it is you need to, let it dry, use soapy water to scrub it and if needed use the bleach water again. They have used this to spray down basements, so it must work, you do want to use this with windows open and ventilation when using bleach and do NOT mix with any other chemical. I guess it would be worth trying before you would have to call in the big guns. If it is that light white mold, probably a rag dipped in the bleach/water solution would do the job. I had water coming into the Miata onto the floorboard, under the floor mats. I noticed the windows had water on the inside of the windows and then noticed grey mold spots on the inside of the convertible top. It is a material that will not fade or deteriorate, so was unsure what to do. I used a bleach rag and went over the interior and then took another rage with just water and went over that….did no damage and the mold was gone….one of the top latches had not fastened down tight and apparently had channeled water to the floor…guess bleach and mold do not like each other…..
        On the “stupid” comment, I think we, here, might be some of the last holdouts that want to keep our minds active and question what is going on!!!
        Back to the mold, we have a covered back deck and the boards up under the roof area and railings are an oil based stain. Every year we get black mold that grows on them because the air doesn’t circulate that well up under the roof and it is hot…my husband has one of those pump sprayers and uses the OUTSIDE bleach you can get gallons of at Menards/Lowes/Home Depot. He sprays it pretty heavily and the mold disappears til the next year…apparently the oil based stain has a habit of getting mold on it,,,,who knew?

        Oh, sorry, I forgot to put a disclaimer seeing that I am not a professional anything!!! This is just what we have experienced or heard from others. Remember it IS bleach and it will take the color out of fabric!

    Eh that’s okay usually sane people are anti Republican. But its just a slant. Some people prefer their news delivered by a chicken, other people prefer it delivered by ignorant rednecks or legitimate newsmen.
