They are only interested in demagoguing on the issue for their own long-held positions on gun control

Totally unfair, Ed. I disagree.

You have zero evidence to prove that these self-promoting nitwit liberals gave a rat’s ass about gun control before it became a cause célèbre for media liberals. This is all about getting viewers away from PMSNBC. None of these twits could figure out a revolver.

Who’s protecting the CNN “brand”?

I think whoever that would be are either asleep at the switch, or enjoying flushing Ted Turner’s fortune down the toilet.

No one should go on his show unless prepared to remind Morgan just how pedestrian his abilities are, from the start of “Hello, good to be with you” and not stopping until, “Thanks for having me, good bye”, until he goes back to Britain where he belongs.

And school choice.

Amen!

I believe that is what these people subconsciously think. Fortunately, I have the ability not to watch them.

Generally, it can be hard not to conclude that they don’t actually believe any of the twaddle they peddle; they see it as sugar to make the medicine (socialistic tyranny) go down.

Fortunately, the “new media” is exposing them for the intellectually dishonest hypocrites that they are, although as a bit of a soft-hearted kind of guy, I generally have to avert my eyes from their astonishing self-abasement, to which they are obviously mercifully oblivious.

Certainly not on CNN.

There is not even the slightest pretense of objectivity any more. They proudly proclaim their partisanship.

Boycott then buyout?

Fight the media, organize, take over and replace.

And school choice.

Not to suggest that you can or have been dense at times Ed, but is the phrase “Fifth Column Treasonous Media” finally starting to ring any bells for you?

Oh, and for those who do not understand what “Fifth Column Treasonous Media” means, while I coins the phrase, it was Andrew Brietbart who both inspired it and defined it best.

From Andrew Breitbarts Righteous Indignation:

Make no mistake: America is in a media war. It is an extension of the Cold War that never ended but shifted to an electronic front. The war between freedom and statism ended geographically when the Berlin Wall fell. But the existential battle never ceased.

When the Soviet Union disintegrated, the battle simply took a different form. Instead of missiles the new weapon was language and education, and the international left had successfully constructed a global infrastructure to get its message out.

This is CNN: “A nasty combination of supreme self-righteousness and reflexive demonization”

Anyone who might appear with these talk show hosts has to understand they are walking into an ambush especially on an issue such as gun control.
The left has realized that being partisan, nasty,one sided and even dishonest at times gets them their way more often than not.
Those are the new rules in the arena of these lefty journo-mercials and if somebody walks into that they had better be prepared.

In watching these stupendously unprofessional but all-too-common spectacles, I’m reminded of the line from Thank You For Smoking: “Let it be known that the public beating has not gone out of style.” Certainly not on CNN.

The beatings will continue until morale improves.

If you want the left to shut up, just tell them that it was a series of very late term abortions.

They’ve got the gall to try to take the moral high ground when children get shot. But they’ve got no problem with ripping a perfectly viable child from the womb and killing it.

I’m not seeing a lot of difference here.

I’m reminded of the line from Thank You For Smoking: “Let it be known that the public beating has not gone out of style.”

That’s exactly what I was thinking when I first saw the Morgan/Pratt “debate.”
