Even if Donald Trump loses the election, 2024 will at least be the year Americans finally told the sociopaths who make up our news media to go to hell.
On one of its more useless shows this week, CNN anchor Abby Phillip removed frequent guest Ryan Girdusky (a happy acquaintance of mine) from a roundtable segment after he hilariously quipped that co-panelist Mehdi Hasan might be wearing one of those Israeli-rigged exploding beepers. Mind you, the joke came after Hasan definitively declared attendees at Donald Trump’s Madison Square Garden campaign rally Nazis. Hasan helpfully elaborated that if you don’t want him to call you a Nazi, “then stop saying things.”
That’s the CNN way. Suggesting that you agree with the mass murder of Jews is fine. Joke that a co-panelist, who is so vile he was demoted when he worked at MSNBC, might be wearing a bomb, and that’s “too far,” as Phillip said.
Here’s the full, extended meltdown on ‘CNN NewsNight’ when @RyanGirdusky told Mehdi Hasan “I hope your beeper doesn’t go off.”
