CNN Suffers ‘Technical Issue’ After Sanders Makes ‘Fake News’ Remark


Posted: Feb 12, 2017

The “fake news” label is now being slung at CNN from both sides of the political aisle. CNN host Erin Burnett asked Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders if President Donald Trump’s national security adviser, Retired Lt. Gen. Mike Flynn, should be fired if he discussed sanctions with the Russian ambassador before taking office. “This is a very troubling development,” Sanders said Friday. “It speaks to the broader issue of Russia’s involvement in our elections. It speaks to the issue of President Trump being buddy-buddy with a thug and a murderer who is the head of Russia. “Now we are learning that there may have been discussions between Flynn and the Russians about sanctions before this administration took power,” Sanders continued. “So this is very, very troubling and I think the president is going to have to tell us what he’s going to do about it.” CNN aired a clip of Trump saying he was unaware of the reports surrounding Flynn’s conversations with the ambassador of Russia. Burnett asked Sanders if Trump being unaware of the reports is problematic. “Well, I don’t know. Maybe he was watching CNN fake news. What do you think?” Bernie shot back. “It was a joke!” he quickly added. “I know it was a joke,” Burnett replied. But as she tried to ask Sanders a follow-up question, Sanders lost his connection to Burnett. “Are we on?” Sanders asked, before the program went to a commercial break. Sanders came on for another segment after the commercial break, but the conversation began with the Burnett apologizing for a “technical issue” involving Sanders and the audio. CNN host Chris Cuomo faced backlash earlier this week after arguing that accusing a journalist of reporting “fake news” is the equivalent to calling a person of color the “n-word.” Cuomo eventually apologized for the comment. ;

I think he and others are realizing there is something to the "fake news" after all. Nothing is to be believed from the mainstream media.

Watching a Sanders rally the other night, it struck me that I knew this man.  The similarity between Sanders and his followers, and Leary and his, is eerily uncanny, and the social milieu of youthful malcontent which they cultivate is similar as well.  I swear, it took me right back to the 60's, the rampant ignorance, and the rise of the drug culture. ...

Income and wealth inequality: In the United States today we have the most unequal wealth and income distribution of any major country on earth -- worse than at any time since the 1920s.

We must end our disastrous trade policies. We need to raise the minimum wage to a living wage. And we have to fight for pay equity ...

Not one door that I knocked on said "no" they would not vote for Mr. Sanders in the primary.  A few needed more information and were yet undecided (as is to be expected).  The difference I really noted was that there were no adamant negative responses.  When canvassing for Pres. Obama there were many negative responses, and I was canvassing from Democratic rolls.  The above Sanders contacts were completely blind (no preference known at this time) .

Wonder What Deal Clinton Offered Sanders. He ShouldJul 13, 2016
When you scrape the "take-from-the-rich" shine off of Sanders, you find exactly what most of us had already known he was - just another back-room cigar-smoking deal-cutting silver-plate scratch-my-back politician. Obviously, he meant none of the things he said about Clinton during the primaries. "She's better than Trump" isn't a reason for his endorsement.  At best, it's an excuse and at worst it signals that - as Obama did with Clinton in 2008 - a deal was made.  Hope ...
