CNN SUCKS

 

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-election-2020/cnn-trump-speech-jim-acosta-b1765693.html

 

Donald Trump delivered a surprise speech on Wednesday that reporters and American networks condemned, and some would not show audiences, because it included baseless attacks on the election process.

 

CNN's chief White House correspondent Jim Acosta described the US president’s speech, which was posted on social media, as a "propaganda video" and declined to broadcast any snippets.

 

"We are not showing you any excerpts because the allegations made by the president have been rejected in the courts as well as by state election officials from both parties,” said Mr Acosta.

 

The CNN correspondent, who was on air when the 46-minute White House video was posted online, noted that the president’s own Attorney General, William Barr, had ruled on Monday that the election was not rigged.

 

"[This is] essentially a propaganda video on Facebook repeating some of the same lies he and his team have told time and again about the election results," Mr Acosta told CNN’s audience.

 

CNN news anchor Erin Burnett also declined to show Mr Trump’s speech "because to do so would amplify things that are factually untrue, and the president knows to be factually untrue," she said.

The left is Victorian — increasingly puritanical, regressive and hypersensitive. Even totalitarian censorship and book-burning have weirdly become part of their by-any-means-necessary methods.

 

University of California, Berkeley, professor Grace Lavery was so outraged by author Abigail Shrier’s latest book, “Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters,” that she went we beyond the usual calls to ban the book. Lavery advocated burning Shrier’s book.

 

“I DO encourage followers to steal Abigail Shrier’s book and burn it on a pyre,” Lavery tweeted last month.

Did the self-appointed liberal watchdog the American Civil Liberties Union step in to defend free expression?

No. One ACLU official poured gas on the book-burning fire.

“Stopping the circulation of this book and these ideas is 100% a hill I will die on,” tweeted Chase Strangio, the ACLU’s deputy director for transgender justice.
