Are these all by the same author? Are any of them opinion/editorial pieces?
The first and 3rd article are both opinion pieces. Knowing that would require actually READING the article though.
Or a 12 second google search. Either or.

I Googled the articles. Iâll unpack your misrepresentation for everyone. The author of the first piece is from a guest contributor who is a liberal that worked in some capacity for Hillary Clintonâs campaign. The third piece is from a guest contributor who is a Libertarian who works at the Cato Institute. CNN is allowing guest contributors to offer point and counterpoint through guest editorials. And each piece, CNN says that the views belong to the author and are not being published on behalf of CNN. So, CNN isnât changing its mind on anything based on what Trump did in his budget.
Youâre as dishonest with your deliberate misrepresentation of information as Zeb.

What else would they be?
They publish them and therefore itâs a representation of their organization.
No one would let them off the hook so easily if they published an article written by David Duke
So now we are going to criticize CNN for trying to represent both sides of the aisle? Forgive them for giving readers the tools to form their own opinions.

No they arenât. And Iâm not sure whatâs worse, your initial misrepresentation or youâre even dumber attempts to justify it.

@thehebrewhero âŠmaybe Trump was getting a Golden Shower from some young little Russian Boy Thing at the time?
Maybe âCovfefeâ translates ROUGHLY into âOoooohâŠbaby!â in English?
(Sorry guys! It was out thereâŠI took itâŠI couldnât help it!)

Even if this did represent their org, would that matter? Would this not simply represent that theyâre willing to publish both sides of a story and let the viewer/reader make up his/her mind?
Is this not, quite literally, the exact opposite of what the right complains about CNN constantly? Theyâre not being partisan. Theyâre not âchoosing a side.â Theyâre publishing both sides of a story from multiple perspectives and letting us figure out which side we fall on. You know⊠journalism.

Covfefe sounds kinda French, so Iâm guessing the dude was wearing one of those little maid outfits.
It was a multi-cultural experience.

It matters because it shows their hypocrisy
People arenât complaining about opinion pieces so much as their reporting of news
It shows CNNâs hypocrisy by showing opposing views on a political issue? Hypocritical of what exactly?
She âassaultsâ a fake head and loses her job. Greg Gianforte assaults a real reporter and goes to Congress. Makes sense.
Wouldnât hypocrisy be to only publish one side of a story? If you want to say that MSM is partisan no matter which side of the fence theyâre on, thatâs understandable.
Saying a news station is hypocritical by reporting both sides of a subject is back asswards. Using this as an example when it says the very opposite doesnât work very well.

Ben Shapiro did a great interview with Ben Sasse about it. Basically, he said it is a political prisonerâs dilemma. The voters know theyâll either get someone who is a bastard, or someone who they actively hate the politics of.
I mean, Ted Kennedy may have killed a girl and attempted to cover it up, and still was called the âLion of the Senate.â
The only solution is both parties no seating people in such situations. But I reckon the chances of that are close to nil.

He was charged with assault. I doubt Kathy Griffin will get in trouble with the law
And in all fairness, MT has a ton of absentee/mail it in votes, so their votes had been in place well before this happened, I know there was a large push to change their votes but they werenât allowed to. (I did not believe he was a good representative for MT prior to this act of idiocy.) He has been charged with misdemeanor assault at this point, although I am not sure much will come of it.
