Happy holidays to everyone on here. I haven’t watched CNN in a long time and this article just cemented that fact that I never will again! I tell everyone about Meidas touch and I am so glad you guys are here! Love to all!!
Like it or not, CNN and similar networks will exist and misinform whether most Dems watch them or not. It's important to keep an eye on what misinformation is being broadcast so we can help correct. We blithely ignore at our own peril.
I would never vote someone to be put in power who caused an insurrection and crimes against women who continuly lies to his own followers and to the people for selfish power gains.
We haven't had TV since 1999. We have DVDs' and CDs' instead and watch old movies, old TV shows and rock concerts and listen to music all the time. I just hope they never stop selling DVD and CD players. We can't do without music, classical and classic rock
People after my own heart.I knew there were some of you out there! I do own a TV, still have cable and stream (and own films and TV shows digitally too so I can have them on my tablets and TV) but I am also into a lot of classic and foreign films and documentaries and old TV shows and all kinds of music (but classic rock is my fave) and am a HUGE proponent of physical media. I OWN them so I watch and listen to what I want when I want and don't need the thought police pulling or cutting films made in their time that may be offensive to everyone who gets so offended today that are still important to ME. Plus DVD/bluray players also play CDs. I love lots of modern movies too but the day I started seeing 20 minute commercials at the movies on top of the cellphone blabbers that was it for me. So I didn't see Oppenheimer in IMAX. I lived.
Music is my first love. Since we cut cable years ago, the only "watching" I do is online or offline with disc or download. But always have to have music. My latest interest is Chinese drama (historical and modern day), and some of the soundtracks are gorgeous! Just beautiful. i need to find out where/how to get recordings, I don't have the equipment to get it off the computer.
I agree. If you can’t report real, unbiased stories then you’re just like FOX News and I, for one, certainly will not support that! Done forever. They’ve turned my stomach.
Kaitlyn Collins and on occasion Jake Tapper are exceptions? Turn it off when Scott Jennings or Singleton show up! And Dana Bash certainly knows better but bought the farm! Give me Lawrence and Stephanie Ruhle anytime?
I was going back and forth one night maybe a few months before the election between MSNBC and CNN and George Conway who I have come to love (Brilliant. Funny. Witty! Changed parties to Dem. Spent $4-5 million of his own money.to.get Kamala elected) So he was on one night and George Conway told him " Scott. Scott. You're a.liar. you're lying" on and on raising his voice until a younger woman anchor whose name I don't know basically admonished.George like "we don't speak like that here" . Meanwhile, George was right. I think you can Google it. Scott Jennings is an arrogant.asshat.
Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah to all Democracy Supporters and to Meidas Touch who are giving #CanadiansForDemocracy a voice at a time when the MSM in Canada has stopped supporting us and our fearless PM.
I do love Andrew Weissmann and Lawrence O'Donnell so I can usually find a segment on youtube or a podcast if I want to hear something specific but how many mesothelioma cancer commercials can I take? No. Done. I'd rather hear Popok do another Loomie commercial over that lol.
Good you got out. Me too! I can't keep up with my inbox anymore. Or the youtubes or podcasts. It was like a fulltime job. Don't want to unsubscribe but sometimes can only skim. I used to also lurk on Twitter so I would also get links to many videos on the msnbc website too. It was really the legal news I was craving so Weissmann, Lisa Rubin, Neal Katyal were my go channel saving me thinking Demented Donnie was going to be held accountable and we wouldn't ever have to deal with him again. 😥
CNN is going the way of cable TV - obsolescence. I know very few young people who would pay for cable. I cut the cord years ago. The next generations never had one.
Advertisers are shifting their money to streaming. Most younger people get their "information" on their phones. TVs are for Netflix or Disney+.
That doesn't diminish the pathetic direction CNN has gone in. They are desperately grasping at straws to survive financially. Integrity and democracy be damned.
But for more and more of us CNN, CBS, NBC, ABC...are antiques. The programming is awful and who tolerates commercials? My head is "ad free". And I am an old guy.
I'm reading "On Tyranny" by Timothy Snyder. What we all do grows freedom. Very good.

Trump needs to be investigated to determine whether he's too nutsy koo koo to serve as president.
We need an amnesty bill.
14th Amendment Section 3
No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.
That headline pissed me off to no end. I think CNN and its owner Warner now are just trying to pivot over to right wing BS…and split the company off from Warner. It’s clear David Zaslav isn’t some creative genius. He’s a former GE Finance guy…who sucks up to Trump. Let’s see what happens but I’ve been done with CNN for over 4 years now and their BS reporting. Anyway, on a happier note, wishing the MeidasTouch team and everyone here a very Happy Holidays. I hope we can enjoy spending some down time before Jan 20. Sending well wishes to everyone.
David Zaslav sees himself as some old time Hollywood Mogul. I don't care what he does with CNN but he better not touch my TCM or MAX It's a really nice community Meidas Touch has built. I feel like it's a safe space when things are so crazy. We are courteous and respectful. 🙏 I dread what's coming but we have each other. Happy Holidays and New Year to you too!
‘President-Elect Trump, in a #Hitlerian, #PutinPutsch move, declares possible US invasions of sovereign, peaceful nations Mexico, Canada, Panama and Greenland, a few of which are G20 countries. US citizen liberal democracy supporters and global sovereign nations to work together to remove Trump & Musk from US Government as an extreme danger to almost all of humanity.” There, fixed it for you CNN.
If I were Jamie Dimon right now, I’d be sh*tting bricks. He said his team has been analyzing possible risk scenarios. Bankers hate instability: #Felon47 is bringing us WW3, continuing genocide in Gaza, seriously weakened climate change mitigation, possible US Civil War and bird flu pandemic at high probability at the same time, not to mention the economic effects of the same in an administration ill-prepared to effectively manage anything.
The Donald is out of his fecking mind! And it’s on display for the whole world to see, and it’s got to be blowing their minds. How can you take a man like this seriously? It would be hysterical if it weren’t so globally consequential. 🤯
It makes me believe even more his administration will crumble under the weight of its arrogant ignorance, incompetence, hubris, and greed - rot from the inside, out.
Jennifer on IHIPNEWS points out perfectly that Donabel Lector needs people to hate.....that keeps him going.........and his base hates anyone and everyone that is not a white beta male.
It is going to be an 4 year Orange Depends Diaper Shit Show.
Bone Spurs is not the alpha male..he gives the alpha male the go ahead to be racist, mysogynistic...get away with anything....break laws....trash the environment...all that right wing extremist bullshit.
I wish the Meidas would take IHIPNEWS under its wing before Jan 20
I don't follow CNN on SM, but I didn't set them straight on why Mango Mussolini is threatening to take back the Panama Canal. They are stripping his name off of buildings in Panama because he has never paid taxes there. In excess of a million dollars in taxes.
Keep reminding people why he is talking about Panama...they are accusing him of tax evasion!!! And, they took his name off of his building!! Don't let this get pushed down in the news cycle -- they know he's a grifter and that's why he's trying to distract. How about a story about all the buildings that took his name off and why...all the accusations of fraud, tax evasion, etc. -- with a nice graphic to get people's attention. https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-panama-canal-threats-hotel-taxes-court-filing-2005079
That’s not happening though. He’s one of those bullies you get online who says stupid crap behind his phone. It’s pure stupidity because it’s alienating us.
Yeah they can have my middle finger too. 🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽
Obeying in advance happening all OVER the place. What did we expect, really? They capitulate and normalize and have for years. They're self interested, and have given up on decent ethics.
Meidas is the 21st century version of the independent printers who bucked the British system back in the 17th century to print broadsides in favor of revolution. I’m proud to be a member of the Miedas Mighty!
Unbelievable 'headline' - Sovereign nations do not get 'annexed' or purchased or invaded (well except in the 1800s and recently in Ukraine). Really, someone needs to teach him a smidge of history and international law. (Canadian not interested in becoming even a tiny bit of the USA)
Happy holidays to everyone on here. I haven’t watched CNN in a long time and this article just cemented that fact that I never will again! I tell everyone about Meidas touch and I am so glad you guys are here! Love to all!!
Same! It's been super peaceful not watching CNN! Happy holidays!
I agree. I stick with whom I know will report the real facts! “Not blowing smoke or sunshine!” Lol.
I watch Meidas Touch because I get the truth.
Like it or not, CNN and similar networks will exist and misinform whether most Dems watch them or not. It's important to keep an eye on what misinformation is being broadcast so we can help correct. We blithely ignore at our own peril.
So thankful that MTN monitors the other networks and shares the misinformation they are spreading etc.🙏💙
Interesting point of view. I’ll stick with boycotting them and sharing the truth.
I would never vote someone to be put in power who caused an insurrection and crimes against women who continuly lies to his own followers and to the people for selfish power gains.
This is true too. My cousin began consuming Breit Bart to keep an eye on what the other side is saying. This election, she voted for Trump. 😳
Ugh
I read Raw Story also, the truth and facts can be found there too.
Yes! It always feels like network news on TV is shouting at us!! I always hated TV news!!
I hate TV, period. Eliminated it 5 years ago, no talking heads, no commercials.
We haven't had TV since 1999. We have DVDs' and CDs' instead and watch old movies, old TV shows and rock concerts and listen to music all the time. I just hope they never stop selling DVD and CD players. We can't do without music, classical and classic rock

Happy Holidays to you as well. I too, have not watched CNN, in just about a year, and I hope they cease to exist
I agree. If you can’t report real, unbiased stories then you’re just like FOX News and I, for one, certainly will not support that! Done forever. They’ve turned my stomach.
Yeah. Let them starve.
Kaitlyn Collins and on occasion Jake Tapper are exceptions? Turn it off when Scott Jennings or Singleton show up! And Dana Bash certainly knows better but bought the farm! Give me Lawrence and Stephanie Ruhle anytime?
Scott Jennings is enough to cause you to click OFF the remote!
CNN has absolutely NO class or angle on the news!

Fvk you CNN!
From all Canadians.
Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah to all Democracy Supporters and to Meidas Touch who are giving #CanadiansForDemocracy a voice at a time when the MSM in Canada has stopped supporting us and our fearless PM.
Good luck. Don't be like us. We didn't need the warnings seriously enough. You still have some time it seems.
Happy holidays, and CNN stopped being a legitimate news network when they held the Trump town hall.
Yes, that's when I stopped watching CNN.
I haven't watched MSM since the election. I really can't even look at any of them anymore and haven't looked back.
I do love Andrew Weissmann and Lawrence O'Donnell so I can usually find a segment on youtube or a podcast if I want to hear something specific but how many mesothelioma cancer commercials can I take? No. Done. I'd rather hear Popok do another Loomie commercial over that lol.

Haven't watched CNN for many years & NEVER EVER will again. Same goes for the other Orange tRump butt kissing Networks....bye bye bye.
MTN is the ONLY network I RESPECT & TRUST💙💙💙

Esstential reading right now. I've seen there's an updated graphic novel version too, might be worth checking out. Tin Snyder also has a Substack.
We need Biden and the senate to step up.
Trump needs to be investigated to determine whether he's too nutsy koo koo to serve as president.
We need an amnesty bill.
14th Amendment Section 3

But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.
L
I'm flummoxed that no one in Congress has the political will to enforce the 14th Amendment. I mean, what gives????
Mr Snyder is also on Bluesky and has shared his substack there. Mr Gary Kasperov is also a great source of information.
I read that when it was first published and kept telling everyone I know to read it!
Wow thanks for this 💙💙💙
I’m reading it currently too, the graphic version.
That headline pissed me off to no end. I think CNN and its owner Warner now are just trying to pivot over to right wing BS…and split the company off from Warner.

Thanks very much. Same to you. Peace in the new year.
I suppose that CNN thinks that Russia was involved in just a “territorial expansion” with Ukraine?
The Donald is out of his fecking mind! And it’s on display for the whole world to see, and it’s got to be blowing their minds. How can you take a man like this seriously? It would be hysterical if it weren’t so globally consequential. 🤯

Good point. But is the Donald the alpha male? He’s looking pretty beta. And that’s what I’m talking about … that’s his nightmare.
Bone Spurs is not the alpha male..he gives the alpha male the go ahead to be racist, mysogynistic...get away with anything....break laws....trash the environment...all that right wing extremist bullshit.
I wish the Meidas would take IHIPNEWS under its wing before Jan 20
I hope like hell it happens quickly - like in the first week!
When Trump gives the United States to Putin I wonder if CNN will call it the largest territorial expansion for Russia since the Soviet Union.
I don't follow CNN on SM, but I didn't set them straight on why Mango Mussolini is threatening to take back the Panama Canal. They are stripping his name off of buildings in Panama because he has never paid taxes there. In excess of a million dollars in taxes.
*did set them straight*
They did that a long time ago when he was no longer a part of the business there.
wtf is wrong when these media networks!
They have gone over to the dark side. Just say good bye to them.
Keep reminding people why he is talking about Panama...they are accusing him of tax evasion!!! And, they took his name off of his building!! Don't let this get pushed down in the news cycle -- they know he's a grifter and that's why he's trying to distract.

Enlightening, thank you. I thought he just blew out another bunch of brain cells.
The Orange Felon is a idiot and he is a bully he trying to bully those countries to give up their freedom and sovereignty
That’s not happening though. He’s one of those bullies you get online who says stupid crap behind his phone. It’s pure stupidity because it’s alienating us.
Yeah they can have my middle finger too. 🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽

I would like to see him try and we will lose all our allies.
So, are we annexing Sudetenland before or after Panama and Greenland? Just asking so I can put some possible dates in my planning calendar.
We trashed the Eagle's Nest and the other estates in 1945. So I don't think there are any palatial homes left in Sudetenland. Cross it off.
