The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

"CNN just coincidently had a news van parked..."

Mike,

With respect, this is precisely how conspiracy theories take hold. Let's be clear, Roger Stone was a suspect long before CNN parked their van with the ready camera. He was convicted by a jury of peers on seven felony counts, including obstruction, making false statements under oath and witness tampering. He's made of career of political dirty tricks. It seems he's not so much a "rule of law" kind of guy. A little karma ran over his dogma.

CNN has always been the loudest, gaudiest dame at the ball. They can afford to park news vans outside of Roger Stone's, OJ's or John Edward's home. CNN's slant is not "left" or "right". Their angle is primarily "circus". So how does one get off CNN's radar? Don't give them "circus". They love their "circus" ratings, they'll go fishing where they can catch fish - the biggest, gaudiest ones.

P.S. I agree with your assessment of Fox as a third rate propaganda tool.
I'm not sure how they'll ever establish objective credibility after such systemic lying to their base.
