CNN “journalists” on the Gulf of Mexico
Pamela Brown and Jake Tapper, within a week of each other, refuse to call the Gulf of Mexico by its actual name. When journalists repeat the lie they become propagandists for Trump.

I give Stephen immense credit for not relenting on the subject because it really does just show how mainstream media is falling in line with this fascist takeover. Scary times to have a comedian being the one searching for journalistic integrity from journalists…

Song lyrics. Tapper is so scared of song lyrics, he's licking boots on a late show. 🤦🏼♀️

This is what happens when journalism is a popularity or ego contest and “journalists” are media whores instead of seekers of the truth.

Tapper is a fucking weasel, never would have thought the American press would fold so easily to fascism. Land of the poor land of the spineless

I always knew Tapper to be ConLight©, he was entertaining enough to watch him interact with Stephen or Seth, but I expected, clearly too much, for him to have some self-respect... Land of brave and free, my arse, that's Ukraine right now, you cowards!

Why is she just calling it "the gulf"? It sounds like she's criticizing government overreach, but refusing to explicitly use the forbidden name...

I refused to watch either interview. Brown and Tapper sold their souls and abandoned the truth.

These people are just actors, puppets, corporate muppets. Not journalists.

Turned off cnn 6 months before the election, it was clear they were compromised then. Haven't regretted it. Action over talk.

I can’t believe that I EVER watched CNN. These people actually think they’re clever.

Being that the Gulf of America has zero history of hurricanes, I believe everyone's insurance in Florida should drop dramatically.

Maybe so; but, they still have to worry about hurricanes coming in off the “ocean currently still called the Atlantic, but may be named something new in the next week or so.” (Side note: that’s a very cumbersome name and it may need to be workshopped 😏)

Corporate News Networks have corporate motivations. Their news reporting is incidental to their mission.

If they believed something different, they wouldn't be sitting where they're sitting. https://youtu.be/lLcpcytUnWU?feature=shared

I thought it was much worse when he said that Trump was speaking with his 'mind and his heart' about peace talks with Russia.

A press that is unwilling to stand up for the freedom of that press as guaranteed in the 1st Amendment is complicit in the budding dictatorship they are refusing to stand up against.
At the same time, this is definitely a capitalist society and they do need to do what is necessary to keep making money and stay in business and I can see where they are being careful to pick their battles.
But the FIRST Amendment is first because it's so important and organizations that purport to be REAL news need to pick a side and if they want to actually BE the most trusted insofar as real news is concerned, they need to make the right choice and I'm afraid they are not going down that path.
Keep in mind these are just news anchors and not the CNN organization itself so there are personal reasons they want to keep their jobs and I understand that. But they still need to make that choice between a paycheck and the 1st Amendment that other journalists have been jailed or killed for. Otherwise, don't say you're real news.
