>CNN fact-checks
>claims its false
>proves its true in the article

Is having cognitive dissonance a prerequisite for working at CNN or something?

This kind of "fact check" is typical.

"Claim: 99% of _______ have decided to ______"

"Fact check: false. Actually only 98.9% of ________ have decided to ________"


CNN is a joke.

She does have a point about expectations of immediate results.

You know I see members of the press at a news conference, but all I hear is



"BARK! BARK! BARK! BARK!"

Now you take that back, sir, the average MSM goon doesn't even come close to being as cute or coherent as a sea lion!

I okay, I take it back. They sound like a gaggle of drunken seals, who have been given lobotomies and are Bane-style talking into china mugs.

I think you are taking liberties in assuming they are journalists in the first place. They are not even tabloid writing hacks, they don't even rise to that level of quality or journalistic integrity?

CNN journalist decides to virtue signal about how a black man was executed after being sentenced by a white jury. Also tries bringing Trump into it.



Now what's the problem with this I hear you ask? Well, said man was executed because of this:

Orlando Cordia Hall Executed for 1994 Kidnapping and Murder of 16-Year-Old Girl

www.justice.gov

Now I'm no expert but I have a sneaking suspicion that a black jury would also have ordered his execution.

...Why do these idiots consistently pick the absolute worst sorts of people to be their martyrs?

Honestly scum like that kinda makes me wish we could have cruel and unusual punishments being allowed for special cases. How I would have ended this scum's life if I was the one choosing the method would have been dropping him naked into the Northernmost area of Alaska in the middle of winter and let the elements do their work

Because they're relying on people being too stupid to go look up what the people they're championing actually did. The sad part is that it works far too often.

...Why do these idiots consistently pick the absolute worst sorts of people to be their martyrs?

The percentage of actual miscarriages of justice are relatively small and not enough to fuel the outrage machine.

people want heroes who they can relate too.

...Why do these idiots consistently pick the absolute worst sorts of people to be their martyrs?

Because when they use actual cases of injustice to try to rally around, Conservatives and Republicans actually agree with them, thus robbing their stance of any ability to castigate the right for not agreeing with them on.
