This is just disgusting if true: A CNN producer was arrested by the FBI and accused of trying to recruit moms and their underage daughters for 'sexual training' https://www.yahoo.com/news/cnn-producer-arrested-fbi-accused-061019785.htmlJohn Griffin, 44, was charged with three counts of using a facility of interstate commerce to attempt to entice minors to engage in unlawful sexual activity. The indictment said Griffin used messaging apps like Kik and Google Hangouts to connect with people who claimed to be the parents of young girls. He tried to "persuade parents to allow him to train their daughters to be sexually submissive," the news release said. In one incident described in the indictment, Griffin is accused of sending a mother from Nevada $3,000 to fly her and her 9-year-old daughter to visit him, and of engaging in "unlawful sexual activity" with the child. On Saturday, CNN said Griffin has worked as a producer for the network for about eight years. "The charges against Mr. Griffin are deeply disturbing," a CNN spokesperson said. "We only learned of his arrest yesterday afternoon and have suspended him pending investigation." If convicted, Griffin faces anywhere from 10 years in prison to a life sentence on each count, the news release said. _______ I understand that anybody can go “well, look at Fox News” with all their internal scandals, but THIS year, CNN has been taking L’s left and right. From their mind boggling boot licking of governor coumo, his brother using CNN resources to find dirt against his brothers accusers, and now this. Good god they need to reset all the leadership.

The problem guys is I can’t do what about right now.
We bag on Fox News all the time. It’s earned. But right now, CNN is going through it right now. And they’ve earned all the criticism. Wallace joining CNN is nice, but that doesn’t cancel out the nonsense that network has found itself in currently.
Right now the big 3 networks might as well be considered the axis of Evil by most of America

Pointing out what has happened at CNN is something you never see the right wing nuts on this board ever do. Man up and criticize their own. You're right, they deserve it. They earned it.
Now let's see if the wing nuts that follow Carlson or Hannity ever has the balls to step up and do the same to one of their own. Don't hold your breath on that one.

But Carlson and Hannity told us the truth about the FBI lies investigating Trump and reported by CNN. Proven Correct. They told us the truth about Cuomo's lies and the corruption of his brother and CNN. Proven Correct. They told us from the beginning that Trump was not a Russian spy as reported by CNN. Proven Correct. They told us the truth about the Dossier lie, funded by Hillary and the DNC, pushed by the liars at CNN. Proven Correct. They told us the truth about Smollett. Proven Correct. Why punish the truth tellers in favor of the underhanded liars at CNN?
You mad because they had you waving your arms with hair on fire like silly children who believe everything they are fed by proven liars?

CNN has told the truth about many things. Would you like a list? FOX News has proven to be liars as well. I gave you examples. The difference between us is I agree that CNN deserves the criticism for it while you lack the kahunas to man up and admit the same about FOX News.

But Carlson and Hannity told us the truth about the FBI lies investigating Trump and reported by CNN. Proven Correct. Nope not completely proven... at least not yet.. They told us the truth about Cuomo's lies and the corruption of his brother and CNN. Proven Correct. Everyone reported it. They told us from the beginning that Trump was not a Russian spy as reported by CNN. Proven Correct. Nope,, still up for debate.. Take the time to review trumps actions towards Russia and you'll plainly see he was favoring them They told us the truth about the Dossier lie, funded by Hillary and the DNC, pushed by the liars at CNN. Proven Correct. Nobody has proven that Hillary or the DNC had anything to do with that... NO PROOF>> why lie about it? They told us the truth about Smollett. Proven Correct. FOX reported it on the same day that CNN did and MSNBC did and NBC, CBS and ABC did.... But who cares... Why punish the truth tellers in favor of the underhanded liars at CNN? I'm not going to defend CNN... I don't care for them at all... They are the same as FOX news.. Exactly the same.. They lie.. So does FOX Talk about believing proven liars,,, Geez man, you eat, sleep and repeat everything you hear on FOX as if it's Gospel.... You have no room to talk here.

I have said it before and will say it again. We do not get proper news! We get propaganda one way or the other. Our free media is owned by each side of the political divide and it is sad.

This isn't really about CNN and it has literally NOTHING to do with Fox News... I guess CNN will have their name attached to it by association and this guy might be a decent producer and likely kept this totally under the radar from everybody...... this is about a guy who is below pond scum as a human being. It's about parents who also deserve to lose their children and be put away for a very long time for being "talked into" what this guy was proposing... It's about the sickening and depraved nature of human beings that, thank God, I hope I will never understand.

Ya know what, that depends on what news outlet you view.. Making a blanket statement like that isn't exactly correct. I listen to NBC in the morning (the today program) It's not one of those 24 hours a day hate fest networks. They don't appear to dislike anyone. What they do is report what happened yesterday and let you, the viewer, decide what it means.. I enjoy that news. MSNBC, CNN, FOX, OAN, Brietbart and the like are all pushing an agenda. I don't waste my time with them. Take this Jan 6 thing. I watched the videos.. Undoctored. There is no question to me what happened. That's a easy one. But if you listen to FOX, nothing happened. NOT a thing.. So it depends on where you get your news.

Actually that blanket statement is 100% correct. When the same behavior has happened at multiple news outlets for years there's not really much to debate to be had. Maybe in the beginning there was but not now, that time has been over for quite a while.
Complicit are ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, FOX, MSNBC and more. They have propaganda running on all those channels. It certainly isn't journalism I know that. They like to present opinion as fact which it's not and then don't apologize for it.
The worst offenders are the ones that still think they're journalists. See Good Morning America. You know what the funny thing is? Foreign news outlets are more reliable for news about the US than ones on our own soil! Lol!

It's because they don't see America as an R or a D. They just see America as it is. That's why they see a democratic republic at risk of being overturned.

This is not a CNN bash, this is a Fox News bash. They are reporting that grocery stores have no supplies. https://www.foxnews.com/us/shoppers-astounded-empty-shelvesThis is absolutely false. We have plenty of groceries here. Fox is trying to create a panic and make people hoard (think toilet paper) to make Biden look bad. It's absolutely irresponsible of them.

I wouldn't say shelves are bare, but the last couple weeks I noticed there weren't as many items. They pull everything to the front of the shelf, and there was not many, if any, items behind those.
But it seems to mostly be certain items... canned goods (particularly gravy and sauces), dry pasta, side dish mixes (IE: rice-a-roni, knorrs, betty crocker), some ice cream products, and some frozen goods (IE: Pizzas)
The big shocker is the price of meats, so we've been buying in bulk when they have sales. Buying an 8-9pound pork roast and diving it up and vacuum sealing them, 5-6 pounds of ground beef, etc.

For meat? Deer. Venison. It cost less (license, tag, pork to mix with the burger/grind) than $2 per pound. I mean, I literally less than that.
But yes, I've seen shortages at the local Dollar General store- which is where I get cat food.
I don't buy the groceries for us, so I can't comment on the availability, or the price.

I've gone to some places in Cleveland and Canton and was surprised at limited items, particularly meat. The article had a bunch of hyperbole, however.

I was at Kroger yesterday, and the shelves were stocked. Meat prices are way up "due to inflation". But there is meat. The only thing I couldnt find on my grocery list was a bag of baby carrots. So I had to buy organic carrots.
My bestie had the same experience at Walmart.

I haven't seen any real shortages here for several months. As has been noted on occasion there may be a certain brand or variety they are out of but that happened even before Covid. There was one time some of the meats were in short supply but the manager told me the delivery was delayed by two days and the meats would be well stocked the next day.

The produce section tends to look picked over much more often than I remember. I too, sometimes can't find chicken thighs so I just pick a different part.
I agree with you and Eve that the food shortage thing is way overblown, potentially limited to people that only buy the most processed foods.
There is no level of sucking we haven't seen; in fact, I'm pretty sure we hold the patents on a few levels of sucking NOBODY had seen until the past few years.
