A Russian Perspective
Link Text


This man owns you. He understands perfectly well that he is the news. You can’t ignore him. You’re always playing by his rules  —  which he can change at any time without any notice. You can’t  —  in Putin’s case  —  campaign to vote him out of office. Your readership is dwindling because ad budgets are shrinking  —  while his ratings are soaring, and if you want to keep your publication afloat, you’ll have to report on everything that man says as soon as he says it, without any analysis or fact-checking, because 1) his fans will not care if he lies to their faces; 2) while you’re busy picking his lies apart, he’ll spit out another mountain of bullshit and you’ll be buried under it.

I could go on and on, but I think at this point you see where this is heading. See if any of this rings any bells if you covered Trump’s presser or watched it online.

Now most sensible people knew long ago not to watch CNN for news but based on how this fellow going to operate it look like he might actually legitimize CNN as a credible news agency again.

lol lol

But me learn me lesson. No more prediction when it come to this fellow. Just sit back and watch the comedy for the next 4 years and hope and pray that they really got somebody else answering the red phone lol lol lol
