CNN: The Latest 'News' and What They're Selling

CNN, Trump, and a Whole Lotta Mess: Who's Actually to Blame Here?

So, another day, another outrage cycle. This time it involves CNN, Trump, and a shooting suspect who apparently got asylum approved under the Trump administration. Before everyone starts screaming about conspiracies, let's unpack this steaming pile, shall we?

The Blame Game Begins

CNN is reporting that Rahmanullah Lakanwal, the guy who allegedly shot those National Guardsmen, was brought to the US under Biden's Operation Allies Welcome, but his asylum application was approved in April under Trump. The immediate reaction? Cue the partisan fireworks. Trump Administration Reportedly Approved National Guard Shooting Suspect’s Asylum Application: CNN The immediate reaction? Cue the partisan fireworks.

But hold on a damn minute. CNN's John Miller points out that Lakanwal likely had to have worked "for or with the United States in Afghanistan" to even qualify for the Allies Welcome program. So, was he vetted properly? Did someone drop the ball? And why is everyone so quick to point fingers instead of asking the hard questions?

It's like watching a bunch of toddlers in a sandbox fight over a plastic shovel. "He did it!" "No, he did!" Meanwhile, the sandcastle's crumbling, and nobody's actually solving the problem.

CNN's Own Problems

And speaking of CNN, let's not pretend they're some innocent bystander here. They're busy pushing for digital monetization, putting more content behind paywalls. I mean, good for them trying to make a buck, offcourse, but it feels like they’re more focused on their bottom line than, y'know, actual journalism.

Then there's the whole Bari Weiss situation. Apparently, she's got ideas for CNN, too, including "Saturday night debates in front of a live audience." Seriously? Is this supposed to be serious news, or some kind of circus sideshow? And who the hell thinks consolidating media under one person is a good idea? It's a recipe for disaster, a total echo chamber. Bari Weiss reportedly has ideas for CNN, too

It's all starting to feel like some kind of sick joke. They expect us to believe this nonsense, and honestly...

The Never-Ending Cycle

It's the same old song and dance. Trump does something outrageous, the media freaks out, everyone retreats to their respective corners, and nothing actually changes. The political theater is exhausting.

Kaitlan Collins on CNN calls out Trump for going after Democrats who dared to disagree with him. Good for her, I guess. But is anyone actually surprised? Trump acting like a tyrant is practically a daily occurrence at this point.

And the Republicans responding with their own video about obeying lawful orders... It's all just noise, a bunch of talking heads yelling past each other.

The whole thing is a mess. A predictable, infuriating mess. Are we ever going to get off this ride?

Give Me a Break...

This whole situation is just another reminder that nobody in power actually cares about solving problems. It's all about scoring political points and lining their own pockets. The news is just another form of entertainment now, and I'm officially tuning out.
