Sometimes you get the full back story on the left wing media working as an arm of the democrat party
Very Fake News indeed!
Earlier today Rolling Stone magazine engaged in what Rush Limbaugh referred to as a ‘random act of journalism’. Which as the phrase suggests means that they did some real journalism. Not only that, but their real journalism exposed how the fake news left operates on a regular basis. “VFN” as coined by Trump was specific to CNN and was in fact a handy new 3 letter acronym that adequately described them, but “fake news” applies much farther than just CNN VFN.
The Fox News coverage of the story is here, and at that page you can find a link to the Rolling Stone article.
The quick version is that CNN set up a softball interview for Cuomo very early on in the scamdemic. It was specifically scripted to make Cuomo look good and make Trump look bad.
On top of displaying left wing “news” working hand in hand with a democrat, you get the additional irony of that left wing democrat lamenting the horrors of a draconian lockdown. Again this was early on, and like Nancy Pelosi and others bashing Trump for stopping travel from China weeks before this broadcast, the left wingers did not realize that they would soon be able to pull off unconstitutional and authoritarian lockdowns, and would then be able to continue them for many months.
So all those times when Trump and other Republicans said “fake news” about CNN, MSDNC, NBC, ABC, CBS, NPR, the NYT, the WaPo, etc., etc., it really was FAKE news they were talking about. It was not just a talking point or a joke.
I hope the vast majority of readers here knew this already without seeing it spelled out, but in any event it’s a handy addition to the stack.
