    Again, it bears repeating how much don railed on "political correctness", but can't seem to deal with just words thrown at him.

    Funny how that works out.

      And as David Gergen said, the first time a president of the United States has gone to a G-20 summit, and not been viewed as the leader.

          Apparently they don't, since they haven't.

            Well look at it this way, the longer trump is president, the less likely it is he is the president of the most powerful nation on Earth. After 4 years of this as sclown we will be greatly weakened.

              This is another false equivalency. What CNN did as a cablecast network is not the same thing at all as what a president does. It's like if I punched someone in the mouth or Mike Tyson punches someone. I do it and they'll feel a little pain, probably have a fat lip. Mike Tyson does it and they'll probably have no teeth left, won't be able to open their mouth for a month and will have a headache that might never go away.

              As for the people like the guy CNN sort of outed, I have exactly zero sympathy. If you post or say out loud your bigoted and racist views, I say you should be outed completely. I don't care one whit if someone like that suffers.

                  Whoa whoa whoa. I'm NOT talking about his other posts. I'm talking about the ONE WWE post he did. That's it. Nothing else. That set CNN off, and then they found all this other crap. If CNN didn't go off about that WWE post, no, we prob wouldn't have heard about that other BS he was spouting off about.

                  I want to make that perfectly clear.

                    Not to mention that this guy is the type of internet scum who revel in doxxing people that say things they don't like.

                      because in doing so they neuter him. Trump is not the only one reposting. They put people on notice that if they were going to do stuff like that there could be consequences. They didn't out him. They threatened to do so if he did something like that again. I have zero sympathy for him. He is a little man who hides behind his keyboard and he isn't posting things about pretty ponies. He has a choice- own up to the slime he is willing to post anonymously or stop. Again- no problem with that.

                      What set CNN off was not this guy but the fact the President posted something depicting violence against them. HUGE difference. The guy was a tool. They took the tool out of circulation.

                        To me, media is open to criticism, just like any other public entity. Trump attacks the media (which I think is stupid, given his reasons) it's bad. But when media decides to out a poster it is A-OK? Hypocritical. Ignore the insult, move on. CNN is doing exactly what we are all mocking Trump for, but in CNN's case, it's somehow ok. That doesn't sit right with me.

                            IF they went after him for that other stuff only, fine and dandy. They didn't. They went after him because he, for lack of better phrasing, insulted them. THEN they found all that other stuff. I have a problem with that first part. CNN should have taken the insult, not reacted to it, and moved on. But somehow, they decided to attack the criticizer and bury him (sound familiar?).

                              -They did not out the poster.
                              - There is a massive difference between criticism of the coverage of what the media is doing and posting things depicting violence regarding the network.
                              - I don't consider it hypocritical for them to investigate an act by the president. I fully believe they would have tried to find the guy even if he had done this to another network. It was way over the line and this kind of stupid is crying out to be investigated. You have a President doing wacko things, they cover it. The only hypocrisy would be NOT publishing the name and giving the guy a chance.

                              -Struggling to understand your point of view. I can't understand why you don't get the difference. With the way he manipulates things at some point we are going to have another looney like the guy in the pizza parlor only this time the target will be the press and bad stuff is going to happen. CNN would be foolish to pass up an opportunity to make people think twice. NPR has done a few pieces on how crazy it is if you report something that is unfavorable. Do a search and see just how scary these people are.
