I can't figure out how I can possibly have less respect for CNN as a news organization. It's like I've reached some sort of Kelvin scale absolute zero point at which it is simply not possible to get any lower.
For the past 18 months, CNN's main objective has been to destroy Donald Trump. I realized this back in September when I went to CNN's main page, which I rarely do, and saw 6 features about Trump or his candidacy, and every one of them was negative, and highly critical. Every. Single. One. That's when I knew that there was something weird going on.
And really, once you understand this, their news coverage makes sense. "Trump's presidency must die" is the CNN party line. And it's so blatant I have trouble believing that the CNN bigwigs don't have a daily staff meeting where they consciously work out the details for maximizing their anti-Trump message. Did not one of their own employees, in the heat of the recent election season, actually claim that Trump was so awful that the abandonment of any and all journalistic standards was justified to in order to destroy him?
This seems to be CNN's new modus operandi. So their anchors and newsreaders say negative and critical things about him whenever they can.
--As do their in-house political pundits.
--And their guest political commentators.
--And whoever else they give airtime to.
Whenever some random guest is on, the CNN interviewer will try to get him to say critical and negative things about Trump.
"I think Trump is a bad president. Do you think Trump is a bad president? Here's a video clip that shows what a bad president he is."
And they expect the guest to say, "Yes, I think Trump is a bad president".
"Oh good, we're all agreed, then, that Trump is a bad president."
That's how CNN infobabe Brooke Baldwin thought it was supposed to work. Her guest was a Syrian victim of a 2013 gas attack. Plus, she had a video of Hillary teed up and ready to go to emphasize the anti-Trump talking point. So what could possibly go wrong?
Moral: Never ask your guest a question unless you know exactly how he's going to answer.

And now for something completely different:
Here is a teaser trailer for the upcoming Thor movie. It doesn't look like a movie I'm going to be rushing right out to see, but I think the trailer is worth watching just for the awesome music selection they used to accompany it:
