CNN Is Hiring An "Angry" 'Fake News' Reporter, Must Be "Intimately Aware Of The Darkest Corners Of The Web"

In true Orwellian newspeak, despite the lowest level of trust among the public, CNN's CEO proclaims they are the most-trusted; and to prove it, the 'news' network is hiring a reporter to cover "fake news."

As The Hill reports, "CNNMoney is expanding its Media team," a Turner job advertisement reads.

"We're going to be examining the wave of 'fake news' stories and the people behind them, but more than that we're going to be looking at truth -- what happened to it, why so many of us no longer believe it, and where those people are going to get their information instead."

CNN wants someone with six years of writing and reporting experience who gets "angry every time they see an inaccuracy."

"This writer should live on the Internet, and be intimately aware of its darkest corners. They should be capable of doing a quick news story, and of spending days or weeks obsessing about a subject," the ad continues. "They should get angry every time they see any inaccuracy in any story, whether large or small, and whether published by a fake news site or a real one."
Well that could get a little awkward for some of CNN's lead anchors, and as a reminder, CNN's media team is led by "Reliable Sources" host and senior media correspondent Brian Stelter.

Other qualifications include "debunking myths," "confronting the 'real' media about the role it's playing," and "keeping tabs on fake news stories bubbling up around the Internet, and turning around quick articles about them."

"They should be the kind of person who can't pass by a single rabbit hole without being desperate to jump in to see where it leads. And they should be able to tell a story that people can't help reading," the job description concluded.
No salary is mentioned in the ad (which we assume means this role would be undertaken for free by some true patriot).

Of course, CNN's situation is not helped by this...

The fact that writers and other people are willing to attack Barron Trump, a ten year-old, just shows how much we really needed change.

SNL Writer Deletes Tweet Saying Barron Trump Will be America’s ‘First Homeschool Shooter’

A writer for Saturday Night Live broke the usual rule about not targeting the children of politicians we disagree with.

For approximately three hours today, SNL “Weekend Update” writer Katie Rich had a tweet up saying that President Trump‘s 10 year old son, Barron, was going to grow up to become America’s “first homeschool shooter.”

Rich eventually deleted her tweet, though not before Twitter users took notice:

For the record, Barron Trump is not homeschooled, and there are plans for him and Melania Trump to live in the president’s New York penthouse until he finishes the year at Columbia Grammar and Preparatory School.

it sounds like she was the lone fool shooter

Having been instrumental in hiring for many years I've always believed in a single criteria for candidate selection- and that is the person most qualified and capable of doing the job. Aspects like colour, creed, race, politics and handicaps have no business being considered. There is a duty to the person(s) paying the wages to get the best value for the dollar.

Right wingers are always complaining that they are the victims of reverse discrimination when they are passed up for promotions or hirings. When someone says what you just wrote, they immediately cry "affirmative action!".

 

[Danbones]

Like an old boss of mine said to me once:
"I'm paying myself out of the money you make me, so I don't mind paying you to keep doing it too.
that's the real bottom line.

If the financial predictions I see as telling are correct, the US won't be able to afford anything but paying on merit - liberal ideals won't cut it, when there simply isn't any extra money to waste.

The snowflakes will get over it when they get hungry and cold enough

Re: The U.S. descends into brutality as the real-life Archie Bunker is sworn as prez

The only people who are salty are the ones that think CBC and CNN are fake news.

Yuppers was watching the inauguration on CBC , Peter Mansbridge interviewing various American and Canadian political people . Every question by Mansbridge was asked in such a way as to obtain a negative response to president Trump . Not one , including Canadian Liberal ministers fell for the bait and all kept a positive message .
Mansbridge looked like he wanted to cry .

The US has a Prez that is for the American people...

So the Trumpites keep saying. They are the dumbest segment of America though so it's not surprising.

The "Make America Great Again" hats sold at Donald Trump's inauguration were made in China, Vietnam and Bangladesh
Street vendors were selling merchandise made in the Far East as Trump pledged to "buy American and hire American" in his inaugural address



Donald Trump supporters were horrified to learn the "Make America Great Again" sold at his inauguration were actually made in China, Vietnam and Bangladesh.

Despite the new president's pledge to "buy American and hire American", street vendors flogged caps in Washington that were mass produced in the Far East.

Thousands of Trump's supporters took to the streets to see the billionaire become the 45th president of the USA, succeeding Barack Obama .

Many bought hats bearing his "Make America Great Again" campaign slogan, but were horrified to learn they were foreign-made.

Rob Walker, 44, who had driven to Washington from Georgia with his wife Abby, 36, had stopped at a truck stop on the way to buy a "Make America Great Again" cap.



"Make America Great Again" hats were on sale for as little as $20 ahead of the inauguration

Great start, Trump.

Ummmm!! Didn't the hats have to be made before he actually became President? Perhaps someone other than Trump actually ordered the hats, perhaps at a time when he had no inkling of them.

 

[Cannuck]

Yeah...that's it!!

Fack, Trumpites are stupid

 

[Bar Sinister]

Very few people do. Actually "the Dumpster" pays more attention to my criteria than most, as you will notice if you watch what happens to his employees who don't perform!

Sorry - I am afraid I've already seen his cabinet choices.

Are you trying to say that the Dumpster didn't make up that moronic slogan?

It was fine as long as it was Obama. It’s Hitler now that it’s Trump.


ON LEFTIES AND TRUMP:

Here’s the thing: I’m a libertarian. I’ve been surrounded by people who don’t agree with me for as long as I can remember and it has never occurred to me to isolate myself from everyone because of our political differences. Certainly not to assault them. Nor am I filled with anxiety by the thought that people who work in my home might have different political views than mine. To me, you’re all a bunch of fascists. But I’ve somehow learned to live with you.

For me, watching people unravel over this election has been instructive. The – yes, I’m going to say it – bigotry of many on the left, in their caricaturing of Trump supporters, has never before been so blatant. Nor has the jaw-dropping, mass-hypnosis level of selective partisan-driven outrage. I understand that a lot of people are worried, upset, even frightened over the prospect of a Trump presidency. Good. They should be. But they should have been worried eight years ago, or at the very least, four years ago.

I was worried four years ago. And I was worried eight years ago. I tried in vain to get my Obama-supporting friends to see what I saw, but with very few exceptions (which I appreciated, thank you) I was met with silence, accused of mean-spiritedness or just told that I should “give him a chance” (did I have a choice?)


I was right in all but one of my predictions for the Obama administration, by the way.

So in case you (like some of my friends) somehow missed out on what’s been happening over the past eight years, let me catch you up:

1. We no longer have a Fourth Amendment, nor the right of habeas corpus (you remember: it was kind of the foundation of our justice system). Yes, the demise of these fundamental protections has been a long time coming, but President Obama delivered the death blow when he gave himself (and all future presidents) the right to imprison indefinitely or even assassinate any human being on the planet with no due process whatsoever.

Number One should be enough. Any normal person should look at the first item on this list and say “OK, I guess that’s a little bit worse than making fun of a disabled reporter.” (And I say this as the mother of an intellectually disabled daughter.) But, because I know it won’t be enough, I’ll continue…

2. Obama has bombed more countries than George W. Bush did, and his drone strikes have killed more than six times as many people as those under Bush, according to the Bureau of Investigative Journalism (killing unintended victims 90% of the time.)

3. He has given himself (and all future presidents) the power to wage war without Congressional approval.

4. He has greatly expanded the mass surveillance of American citizens.

5. He put in place a statist health insurance mandate that has sent insurance premiums skyrocketing.

6. He has continued the same brand of crony capitalism and debt expansion of the previous administration.

7. He has deported more than 2.5 million immigrants – more than any other American president in history.

8. After running on a platform of more government transparency, he has presided over an administration more hostile than any other to whistleblowers and a free press.

9. Police brutality has not abated, nor has the mass incarceration of Americans (and especially black and Hispanic Americans. Maybe it’s only “racism” if the president is a white Republican?)

10. Did I mention he – and all future presidents – now has the legal right to kill anyone on the planet, including American citizens, with no conviction, no charges, no semblance of due process at all. Did I mention that?

I'm a little shocked that the author doesn't realize that everyone in politics; pundits, media, staffers, politicians and especially partisans are all cynics and hypocrites.

He may have dusted off an old slogan from the Grover Cleveland era ... or Herbert Hoover ... or Ulysses Grant. "Make America Great Again" is so vague, so typical of a thoughtless campaign slogan that any candidate any time in history might have used it. Some Trump flunky probably found it in a dusty archive, filed under "old stuff.
