What gives, CNN?

Usually I turn to CNN for breaking news since they cover fast breaking stories very well. But they have still not identified the shooter in the Dallas ICE shooting, nor reported that he is an Independent. NBC news and many other outlets have.

I guess it doesn't fit with the narrative that they want to portray. Sorry, CNN, but I don't owe you the benefit of the doubt any more.

because they embraced the Clinton impeachment without identifying Clinton's impeachable offense. For the MSM Clinton's impeachment meant ratings.

David Ellison, Larry Ellison’s son just bought Paramont Global which includes CBS. Larry - 2nd richest man after Elon- is the biggest donor to IDF.

The Ellison are working on a deal (which would not pass under a Dem president) to buy Warner Brothers Discovery which includes CNN.

If it goes through - Larry Ellison - great friend of Netanyu and Trump will own both CBS and NBC.

Luckily- the majority of those under 40 get their news off podcasts & social media.

I prefer podcasts for my news as the news is covered in depth— most being an hour long and I can listen on my phone while doing my stuff. I like “Breaking Points” with Crystal Ball & Saagar. I really like Crystal as she it totally against the genocide and does not hold back.
