Kanye West is brutalized by CNN

[trixare4kids]

This is what happens to black people when they support Donald J. Trump, POTUS.

"Kanye West is what happens when negros don't read" "Black folks are about to trade Kanye West in the racial draft" "He's an attention whore" "He's a token negro" "He clearly has issues"

"He's already been hospitalized"

Don Lemon couldn't stop laughing.

Kanye West is brutalized by CNN

CNN did not brutalize West. Commentators who appeared on CNN expressing their own opinion may have done, but nothing in the video clip indicates the views any of the four individuals expressed are those of CNN and its management.

CNN is a media outlet that various individuals having their own points of view appear. When CNN wants to express its own organizational opinion, it does so, and when it does so, CNN or the person communicating CNN's position is very clear in noting that the view is CNN's not the announcer's.

Pay attention to the job titles noted for Bakari Sellers and Tara Setmayer. They, along with the other guy, are commentators, not CNN producers or leadership/executives. E.g.,

• Tara Setmayer

News networks are quite similar to newspapers in that the distinction between an author's opinion and that of the outlet itself is clearly delineated. About the only difference is that newspapers put the paper's editorial board and publisher's POV on the editorial page and they put others' in columns and on the Op-ed page(s).

Black America is waking up. Trump has 20% support already and growing.

Without that 95% voting bloc to take for granted, the Dems are screwed.

The statement CNN brutalized Kanye West is correct.

You should read some of the right winger's reactions to Taylor Swift saying she will vote against a Republican because of LGBT issues. Their heads are exploding.

P.S. Gotta love the shakycam. Real pros right there.

Uh, no, they're not. "CNN brutalized Kanye" is a synedoche.

The company did not attack Kanye; a few commentators did. It could go either way, as long as we acknowledge that what really happened was "several commentators on a CNN opinion show expressed displeasure over Kanye's recent political views."

Commentators are invited based on their "opinion" regarding a certain subject.
Inviting several commentators with the same opinion reflects the opinion of said media.

CNN brutalized Kanye!

The left is definitely up **** creek if black people start getting behind Trump.

What's interesting is how some are defending the CNN leftist media elites who feel entitled to tell blacks how it is they should behave... Look at the way they expect Kayne West to toe the party line.
And believe me that is what this is about... We can't have Kayne West or other black celebrities thinking for themselves or getting other blacks to support Trump.

 

[trixare4kids]

The left is definitely up **** creek if black people start getting behind Trump.

Bingo! That's what this is about.
How could someone like Kayne West know anything about anything?

So they make sure they put his "uppity" ass down, warning him not to get out of line or else...

"Kanye West is what happens when negros don't read" "Black folks are about to trade Kanye West in the racial draft" "He's an attention whore" "He's a token negro" "He clearly has issues"

"He's already been hospitalized"

Everyone should feel shame after reading the brutal comments blacks made about one of their own... and CNN's Don Lemon laughing in approval of those sickening comments goes beyond the pale.

I'm a right winger and I don't give a rats arse about Taylor Swift or anything she says.

CNN brutalized Kanye!

The CEO and top brass of CNN do not vet or personally vet every single commentator on every single opinion show.

Sometimes the views of commentators are in line with the corporate culture; sometimes they are not.

So, let's say Hannity attacks the FBI on his Fox News Show one night, and on that night has guests who join his attack on the FBI. We can say "Fox News attacked the FBI." As with the CNN example, that's a synecdoche, and expresses a somewhat accurate truth. But it's because we really know it means "Hannity and his invited guests attacked the FBI on his Fox news show."

This attribution would make more sense if CNN or Fox spent several days where their opinion shows were targeting someone. That would be a much better scenario for "news station is attacking X" than just a single show.

On a side note, I don't recall the right rushing to Kanye's defense when he was attacking Bush 43. Nor do I hear them defending the rights of most hip-hop artists. I wonder why?

 

[joko104]

CNN constantly calling West a "negro" is just more of the non-stop racism of CNN.

Blacks and Hispanics will never get behind Trump. Yes, he can parade his 'black friend' Kanye West, or Don King or haul around the 'Blacks For Trump' guy, 'Michael the Black man' (as he calls himself), to all his rallies. In reality, the majority of Blacks and Hispanics despise him. Trump using them for props is just despicable. People aren't stupid, they know exactly what he's doing with his 'Black friends', he's using them. Kanye West stated "he cares about the way Black people feel." I have news for Kanye West and anyone else that falls for Trumps disingenuous friendships with anyone of color, he doesn't give a CRAP about anyone but himself and his kids, well two of them anyway, Eric hardly registers in his brain.

And yes, Kanye West is an idiot, legitimately mentally ill not merely stupid. Let's just take a look at the list of celebrity Black people that support Trump or who have previously supported him;

Paris Dennard - formerly a commentator for CNN but suspended "for making sexually explicit comments and gestures toward women."

Omarosa - Officially off the Trump favorite list

Ben Carson - An idiot that got his lucrative cabinet position by kissing Trump's ass

Mike Tyson - Six years in prison (served three years) and four years of probation. Criminal status - Tier II sex offender

Diamond and Silk - who the hell are these two and why did Fox promote them? Oh yes, because they're video bloggers, Fox uses them to show that Blacks like Trump (groan)

Stacey Dash - a woman that should just shut up because she's so stupid and stick to doing music videos with Kanye West

Dennis Rodman - Settled a lawsuit with Connie Wilcox, a Las Vegas waitress, who accused Rodman of grabbing her breasts. Sentenced to probation and required to attend an alcohol program after pleading guilty to driving under the influence. Charged again in 2016 with four misdemeanors after allegedly driving on the wrong side of a freeway, being involved in a hit and run, not having a valid license and lying to police.

Jimmy McMillan - founded 'The Rent Is Too Damn High Party'. Now he's endorsing presidential candidate Deez Nuts (groan)

Pastor Mark Burns - the South Carolina pastor who was outed for falsifying his biography.

Jim Brown - July 24, 1965 - A jury finds Brown not guilty of assault and battery against 18-year-old Brenda Ayres, after an incident in his hotel room. 1968 - Brown is charged with assault with intent to commit murder after model Eva Bohn-Chin is found beneath the balcony of Brown's second floor apartment. 1978 - Is sentenced to one day in jail for beating and choking his golfing partner, Frank Snow. Brown is also fined $500 and receives two years' probation. 1985 - Brown is charged with raping and assaulting a 33-year-old woman in his home. The judge later dismisses the charges based on inconsistent testimony.August 1986 - Brown is arrested for assaulting live-in girlfriend Debra Clark. The charges are later dropped after Clark refuses to prosecute. June 15, 1999 - Following a domestic disturbance with his wife Monique, Brown is arrested and charged with making terrorist threats toward his wife. September 10, 1999 - A jury finds Brown guilty of vandalism for smashing his wife's car with a shovel during the June incident. January 5, 2000 - Brown is sentenced to six months in jail for refusing the court-ordered counseling and community service hours handed down in 1999. He serves almost four months in the Ventura County jail in 2002.

Don King - investigated for possible connections with organized crime. During a 1992 Senate investigation, King invoked the Fifth Amendment when questioned about his connection to mobster John Gotti. King has been charged with killing two people in incidents 13 years apart. In 1954, King shot a man in the back after spotting him trying to rob one of King's gambling houses; this incident was ruled a justifiable homicide. In 1967, King was convicted of nonnegligent manslaughter for stomping one of his employees to death. For this, he served three years and eleven months in prison.

Kanye West - "Some of Donald Trump’s views on Christianity, honestly, is what caused me to vote for him." (groan)

Bingo! That's what this is about.

Sorry, but the entire black community is not going to change their minds en masse about Trump because of Ye. No one is even remotely worried about that.

How could someone like Kayne West know anything about anything?

What a silly question.

Ye is a respected artist, and has plenty of time on his hands, as well as lots of resources. Someone in his position could contact pretty much any leading intellectual (black, white, Hispanic, whatever) and have a good chance of arranging a discussion with them.

Meaning someone in his position certainly could educate himself on a variety of topics. Instead, he's taken the Red Pill, with the predictable result that people will publicly criticize him, and his views.

So they make sure they put his "uppity" ass down, warning him not to get out of line or else...

Please.

Right wingers expend just as much energy as the left policing its own community, and demanding intellectual conformity. Anyone who doesn't toe the line is a RINO -- or worse.

These kinds of behaviors are not restricted to one specific ideology. It's a general tribal tendency, and decrying them on the left whilst blatantly ignoring them on the right is a tad hypocritical.

Everyone should feel shame after reading the brutal comments blacks made about one of their own... and CNN's Don Lemon laughing in approval of those sickening comments goes beyond the pale.

Oh, whatever. If he changed his mind tomorrow and started advocating for Kamala Harris 2020, the MAGA crowd would turn on him faster than you can say "Ye."

 

[joko104]

Imagine the absolute total hysteria if President Trump referred to President Obama as a "negro."

 

[ElChupacabra]

I find this interest in Kanye West pretty odd. Celebrities are citizens and can talk (or not) about their political leanings, and in this case Kanye has a point in regards to questioning people insulting him for being a Trump supporter. Sure, it goes against the general lean of African Americans, but it should be a debate about ideas and not ad hominem attacks. I'm not a Kanye fan at all, but think he does make a point about the criticism launched against him.

CNN is a corporation, and according the the Supreme Court, corporations are people.

These Guys appeared on CNN, just like many loonies appear on Fox News and say ridiculous things.

Slowly more minorities are coming aboard the Trump train of success. The liberal/Demo wrecking machine may be starting up as they always tries to derail our President Trump.
....boring.

Stop making it up... Don Lemmon's panel last night consisted of CNN regulars.
Bakari Sellers is a political analyst and commentator for CNN
Tara Setmayer is a CNN political commentator.
And of course, last but not least, was CNN's laughing hyena, Don Lemmon.

:roll:

OK then. From now on, any time that Sean Hannity attacks anyone on his Fox TV show, we can classify as "X is brutalized by Fox News." After all, he is a regular, he's a popular host, he styles himself as a political analyst and commentator for Fox.

Happy now?

So what? What are you, his mother?
Seriously, without his support for Trump you wouldn't give damn one about Kanye West. And rightly so. There's nothing about him that's worth giving a damn about. Nothing. Until he appeared on-camera wearing a 'MAGA' hat- now he needs to be heard and respected and protected from criticism.
Wotta loada crap.

The CNN commentators believe Kanye's vote should be based on race: this is the most damaging aspect of liberalism.
