Probably just wanted to avoid the publicity of a trial. It's unclear to me what CNN did wrong in the case.

of course a planned parenthood volunteer like yourself wouldn't understand concepts like slander
hell you can't even comprehend basic math hence the election-denying lmfao, pathetic..

Published information knowingly false or that would be knowingly false if they had performed any semblance of a fact check. They could not, because they needed to hurry the story to capitalize on ratings to support their declining viewership.

I don't know whether they would have actually lost in court, as it's incredibly hard for plaintiffs to win cases like this, but CNN likely didn't want to risk the result in addition to the embarrassment of a public trial.

I'm beginning to think that the democrats do not want to actually win the election in 2020.

if it werent for the judges, this would actually make sense. Trump is a shitty leader for his brand of politics, he's only playing to his base and never expanding his coalition. he's actively alienating a part of the electorate, he's putting states like texas and arizona in play a good 4-8 years earlier than they would have been under a cookie cutter republican president. he's erratic, constantly tripping over his own feet. if he gets another 4 years, there is a chance that he does finally commit the fatal mistake they've been waiting for, the one that sticks and erodes his approval ratings long-term.


however, another trump term would come with a supreme court and a federal judiciary which are so conservative that even liberal legislation passed with trifecta control in DC would get stopped in the courts. the conservative judiciary would become so entrenched that it would take multiple democratic presidents to undo. if not for the judges, another Trump term might really be good for Democrats from a very strategical, long-term point of view.


another complicating factor, however, is that the super skewed Senate class comes up for election again in 2024. even if a second Trump term turns out disastrous and the Dems win back the WH and Congress with ease in 2024, they might still fall short to win back or hold the Senate that year. hence, their best shot at trifecta control is probably 2020, where if they have good turnout and/or margins with key demos, they would have a good shot at winning both the Senate and the WH.


so yeah, after thinking it through, if I were a Democratic strategist, I would go all-in for 2020.

They covered a video that appeared to show one thing, and later videos showed more context. What's the big deal? Every media outlet does this sort of thing. Unless I'm missing something, I have a hard time believing CNN would be legally responsible.

We all know the key to them winning is appealing to Trump voters. :lol:

Tell them that you're going to cancel Obama care but let them keep the affordable care act. That seemed to work pretty well.

tell them you're going to resegregate schools, but then give most of the money to black schools once elected. then when they cry tell them its separate but equal.
