National Enquirer buys CNN

[everan]

According to The Onion the National Enquirer has secretly owned CNN for years.

Fake News is their domain!

Or maybe CNN just retracted their story and fired a bunch of people.

In addition to the story’s retraction, three CNN employees, including a Pulitzer Prize-winner, resigned from the company.

rofl. Them pulitzers though.

I can't wait for time4fun to explain to us how this is bad for republicans and how only an idiot could see it as otherwise.

At least she'll be glad to know somebody noticed she was gone this time I guess.

Stupid CNN. They're still living in the 1990s. Today when you make a mistake, the last thing you should ever do is admit it. Instead, you forcefully and indignantly defend your false statement until everybody thinks it's true. That's what winners do.

You guys know what the Onion is, right? I can't tell from the replies.

The title of this thread is a joke. The linked story in the first post is not a joke, it happened.

Just so I'm fair and balanced, and because this is kind of funny too.

Here we have a tweet by Trump about Amazon not paying taxes and about the Washington Post publishing fake news. The tweet is apparently in response to a Washington Post article about Trump displaying fake Time magazine covers on his property.

There must be some irony in this situation.

Here's the crazy part about this. The President of the United States is threatening journalism for writing stories that are unflattering to his ego, and all these phony ass patriots will giggle and defend him. It's a mad mad world we're living in.

The guy is a functioning retard but I don't see any threat in your quote.

[Savageheart]

I don't really read a threat either... there's plenty unsubstantiated claims to go around

When CNN makes them, 3 people resign... When the president makes them, repeatedly it's some how good for his profile with 'the base'

Strange days.

Strange indeed!

Trump is upset with WaPo so he's threatening the parent company with his phony internet tax thing. It's just what's become an ordinary everyday abuse of power.

I assumed he was referring sales taxes. But Amazon already collects those. Trump should demand a copy of Amazon's tax returns.

[Mogonis]

Or...Trump should demand longer nap times after recess.

And, while he's at it, Bezos birth certificate.

I found this interesting. It's a quote from chief executive of the Enquirers parent company. It partially explains the Idiocracy world we're living in.


“They voted for Trump,” Pecker told the New Yorker. “And 96 percent want him reelected today. That’s the correlation. These are white working people, who love to see takedowns of celebrities, and they want to see — which is unusual, who would think these people would love a billionaire? — the billionaire’s pulpit. They know him from 14 seasons on ‘The Apprentice’ as the boss, and they loved it when he fired those people and ridiculed them.”
National Enquirer readers love Trump; therefore the National Enquirer loves Trump, which is convenient because Pecker and the president have been friends for a long time.

I'm genuinely curious here, are you really trying to antagonize people with "You lost, get over it" and posts like this? Or is it just one of those things you find so funny you keep doing it over and over again?

This is the guy who thought giving out shart reps for years was funny. We can't expect much from him.

He's actually pretty funny. No, really.

I think he just enjoyed watching the PC collectively lose it's mind over shart reps.

So have you just given up your Colbert shtick or what? Shouldn't you be saying like "Trump is right! Amazon needs to pay their fair share!"

It's fake news from the trump because Amazon's not been collecting sales tax for states where purchases are made or delivered. Donald's trying to make it out to be some nefarious Jeff Bezos plot or something.
