CNN wants to ban the use of the term "fake news"...
...now that Donald Trump has appropriated the term- from CNN- and uses it to incessantly (and rightly) kick them in the ass with it.

http://www.foxnews.com/enterta...-term-fake-news.html

I've got news for CNN: We've already been down this road, months ago. It didn't work then and it won't work now.

I think it's marvelous that President Trump is beating you with your own truncheon. He took the term from you and has wailed on you nonstop. It's too funny.

Ya gotta love it when the libtards start whining about us using something they seem to have developed/created!

And, of course CNN wants to ban the use of "fake news", it continues to make them look bad.

Maybe we will actually get back to real, responsible NEWS?

Sure. After the complete collapse of civilization, give it a few hundred years for the world to rebuild, then we'll see about trivial shit such as speaking the plain truth.

That's sort of like a time travel paradox.

Would CNN simply cease to exist if the term was banned?

Love this quote from the article:

quote:
...and it devalues the expression that has “become meaningless” over the past year.


Kinda like the term racist, or facist, or any number of terms the left uses to describe people who do not think like they do.

How does one ban the use of certain words?

Decades ago, it might be accepted, but not now.




Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown

I bet, every night, when these commies go home, they go in their restroom and scream, "SERENITY NOW!". I would love to read real news some morning that Jeff Sucker's head has really exploded.
