James O'Keefe to CNN: You Suck

So James O'Keefe has been listening in on CNN's morning phone call for months. 'Hey Jeff Zucker, you there? Hey, this is James O'Keefe...' Do click over and listen. It's freaking hilarious. 

We worked at CNN for six months in 1999. Here's a post on our experience there. Here's another. We were assigned to the political unit, which ran the then very important Inside Politics. Every morning the political unit held a phone call with Atlanta to discuss current events and that day's episode. 

That call was professional and focused and in six months we never heard anything like what James O'Keefe has been uncovering. 

CNN Hates Your Guts

Reader(s) of this blog have probably already scene CNN mocking Trump supporters. Breitbart's John Nolte (PBUH) has the rundown. Go ahead a click on through.

We gotta be honest with you folks, we thought it was kinda funny. We did, and that's ok.

But it doesn't matter. We know plenty of funny racist jokes. That doesn't make it right. It's certainly not right to take to the airwaves and mock southerners as hillbillies and rednecks, excuse the expression, folks. These are slurs, that's it.

Visiting relatives in Western Kentucky as an adult Yankee we were shocked by how aware and self conscious our cousins were of their reputation back east.

This is what CNN, the elites, the bicoastal set, Hollywood, think of the rest of us. They hate you and me. Hate them right back.

It isn't funny anymore.

Will: The CNN Experience

James O'Keefe's says Project Veritas is bombing CNN beginning 12 PM today:

Judging by the previews it's at our old workplace at CNN Washington.

Honestly, we're most curious to see how the office has changed.

Though we've done so before, this week we'll go into what we saw during our six months working at CNN Inside Politics.

It was 20 Years Ago Today

Twenty-years and two days ago we threw ourselves an epic birthday party in which we closed down our own place. God, it was glorious, and fun. Lots of good fun.

The next day New York Yankees right-hander David Cone threw a perfect game. As we lived in Northern Virginia we didn't get to see the game and only learned about it becuase we were in the car. The local sports-radio station broadcast the final three outs, so we heard John Sterling make the call.

The next day we went to our job at CNN's Inside Politics.

The boss called us into his office and informed us he was letting us go at the end of the week. And on our birthday too, SMH.

CNN Sucks

We took a lot of heat yesterday for our comedic post calling for the death of journalists.

Just kidding, nobody reads this fucking blog.

It was a joke people. On three levels our call for the death of journalists was a joke: meta, comedic and real life.

First the meta. We referenced a very funny Mathew McConaughey bit from The Wolf of Wall Street. 

Second, the comedic bit, we applied the reference in a most inappropriate way.

Third the real world, we revealed something very real: we hate journalists.

Comedy must needs always have an element of real life. In fact one could argue that this blog is one big comedy experiment. Those who grew up with us would all get the joke.

Anyway, we do hate journalists, and when we say CNN sucks, remember, we know what we're talking about.

This....is CNN

How do you fix a Problem like CNN?

How do you fix a problem like CNN?

First they publish fake news about President Trump. Then they get upset about a silly WWF GIF portraying Trump body slamming CNN. Then they dox the 15 year old kid who made the GIF. They go on air and complain that they're under attack.

Then there's James O'keefe, who has two producers and a contributor admitting on camera that the whole 'Russian thing' is a load of crap.

As of this writing the network is under a twitter-meme assault called Operation Autistic Storm. We wouldn't know anything about that, ;).

Morning host Chris Cuomo is the Fredo of the Cuomo crime syndicate. Anderson Cooper is a bitchy homosexual. Reliable Sources host Brian Stelter is the most obnoxious Jew on TV. President Jeff Zucker is taking the network's ratings into the tank.

So, what do you do?

Fire at least the four people I've mentioned.

Then get an elder statesmen figure to come in for a year or 18 months to settle and stabilize things while cleaning house. I'm thinking Tom Brokow, but I can't imagine why he'd want the gig.

Then you get a real news man to run the network, you know, someone who actually knows about practicing journalism. I say Brit Hume. Hire Bill O'Reilly, morons. Give Mark Steyn a weekend entertainment show. Grab Milo, for the love of god. Milo, ten PM every night. Think of it.

Otherwise:

On the new CNN....

...no not that one, commie pukes, #fakenews.

Now that we've made our feelings known, we understand that there is talk of a new conservative news network, dare we say CNN, being formed under the leadership of Roger Ailes.

We're pretty indifferent to Fox News to tell the truth. We'll tune into Fox Business most mornings [you just want to gawk at Maria Bartoromo-ed] do I ever...anyhoo, but we really don't watch a lot of cable news.

MSNBC should be nuked from orbit, its the only way to be sure, and well, CNN is run by a pack sex criminal apologists like Chris Cuomo who think little girls should have to see penises in the bathroom. So they're right out.

This alleged conservative news network should consider what it is trying to do. Do we really need another conservative news outlet? OK if you want. But would they rather start a real cultural shift?

We vote for the latter.

We'd like to see the new CNN be a political-cultural network in stark contrast to Fox. We'll take Hannity if we have to, but have no interest in O'Reilly.

So what do we want?'

First off, we want this to be Chatty-Gal TV throughout the morning. That means have a gal-centered morning show. Let's put Dana Loesch in charge of a round table with other gals. Well have a late morning variety show, we're not kidding, hosted by some eye candy for the ladies. Moving to afternoon we'll have a day time talk show hosted by Sarah Palin. There is no reason she can't do it, she anchored local news in Alaska.

We'll fill the next few hours with true crime, hosted by ex female detectives, prosecutors, etc, etc.

From there its a straight on news hour with a no-nonsense Joe Friday type and a nightly editorial by Robert Stacey McCain from his secured undisclosed location

Prime time will shift to more male oriented programming. At 7:00 we're going to have the CNN sports report. Like ESPN but without all the SJW convergence. At 8.00 its the CNN Entertainment hour.

We'll put Hannity at 8:00  a Dateline style show at 9:00, and groom new talent at 10:00.

Now at 11:00 we're programming a late night talk show hosted by Mark Steyn. This will focus on cultural stuff,  a throwback to the old late night shows. Music, comedy, books, dancing and the arts.

We'll have some sort of underground show at 12:00.

The overall goal here is not a news network but a cultural-entertainment Network with a news element.

Also, fuck CNN.
