this article, which appeared on Mediaite.com was in reference to and includes a video of an interview on CNBC by Joe Kernan with Zaslav.
in the video at about 00:25
the host was notably shocked that he actually said that out loud.
well. at least we have cleared that up.
 
CNN the leader in news to the Left?


*shocking*

I would have mentioned his saying the quiet part out loud, but this is more of a way of saying that it is no longer going to be the quiet part.

what was shocking is that he actually said it and didn't back away from it when it took the interviewer so clearly by surprise.
the interviewer apologized for his reaction.
 
There's been a correction and clarification released, but it's a lie.

“Definitely to the left,” Kernen said. “Did you say to the left?”

Zaslav laughed but did not retract his comment.

“Man, you weren’t kidding,” Kernen said, also laughing. Then, sheepishly taking back his question, Kernen said, “that was an aside. I probably shouldn’t have said that.”

While Kernen did not clarify his comments, he went on to say that he sees sports as being on the right side of the Discovery portfolio.

He meant what he said and he knew what he was saying.

Nobody cares which products are on which side of the portfolio. That was some kind of attempt to bullshit his way out of the answer.
 
A short sentence with four words involved in a ' maga oxymoron ' ---- news ,CNN , leader and left . A new language perhaps .

P.S. Surprised they did not boast about the segment where they had over 100 viewers.

Same as CNN which gets less viewers than a picture of Pelosi
 
You have to be absolutely ****ing clueless to consider CNN "left-wing" lmao.

Sincerely, those of us actually on the left.
