General CNN

Check the craft table.

Rude R1

This is DL. Un til Hamas there was no greater crime.

R3 - Huh?

Fat.

R5 - LOL

And what of drama queen Clarissa Ward?

I'm still looking super cute.

My homegirl Christiane Amanpour is werkin' it.

Anderson will be embedded with a unit of hot Israeli soldiers.

R7 - She deserves combat pay.

I miss Don Lemon's cute warzone outfits.

I’m going to Golan!

A unit of hot Israeli soldiers will be embedded in Anderson.

R13 - Erin is good at this.

There's something about Clarissa...

Jeremy Diamond is also in Israel.

Will he get any hot Middle Eastern cock while he is there?

Anderson will soon be feeling someone’s Zionist expansion policy.

Why can’t they give a real man like Jeremy Diamond his own show?

R19 He's cute, but he has a major Cindy Brady lisp.

Isn’t that correctable?

In which branch of the military was General CNN?

Lol R22 - Salute when you say that.

Jeremy Diamond speaks Hebrew, so that may be one of the reasons CNN has him on the ground in Israel.

That’s General CNN to you, buddy at R24.

Anderson is such a FAG!!!!!!

Brianna is back. She’s wearing maroon.

Brianna and Boris, with Manu.

I love Melanie’s hair.

Is Anderson like carrying the whole network?

R30 - Is he still in Israel?

I hope not. He's got two babies to think about now! Oh and carrying CNN on his back. It's making him lose his hair!

Erin’s got young kids too.

[quote] Erin’s got young kids too.

They’re going to Dubai!

R34 - what?

R21 Thee you on the thee-thaw, Jeremy!

Briana has.... snacks.

R37 - Brianna is also having Republicans for lunch.

^Sad fangurl.

R39 - But she is doing just that. She’s among the best that cnn has.

Manu navigates the war zone & Brianna tears apart another GOP Rep.

Not cannibalism, I hope.

Kate Bolduan lost a good deal of weight. She was fuller a few years ago.

Jake is in Israel.

Is Anderson still there?

Did a blind person do Brianna's makeup for today's broadcast?

Admiral BBC

R45, are you sure it's not jam or syrup?

I love the chyron.

Someone needs to stealthily dispose of Jim Acosta's tragic stash of Miss Clairol Dark Ultra Cool Brown LiquiColor Permanent.

^The funny thing about the ridiculous link mishap/redirect at R49 is that the pic (at least the hair) pretty much mimics the intended original.

Discussing the legal threat to Trump

Now that CNN is available via HBO Max, I have it on in the afternoons since I don't have cable. It's nearly unwatchable. I had to turn it off when Anderson Cooper's grief porn came on. I really don't need to see a parade of sobbing Israelis.

R52, I thought the Israeli couple Anderson had on during Monday's broadcast were very articulate, actually. And they spoke well of President Biden and how he made a genuine effort to talk to them about how it feels to lose a child from his own personal experience.

In fairness, he can't talk about anything else. It can get to ya.

Brianna is stretching out that top.

“Is Anderson like carrying the whole network?”

HA.

Anderson looks exhausted. Now Jake is over there too. I don't suppose covering this horrid situation is easy.

Israel has bought and paid for the ultra-sympathetic American media coverage regarding Israel and its excessive barbarism. Yes, Hamas is evil, but at this point, Israel is acting like savages. Read on...

Today, a nine-year-year Palestinian boy was rushed to the hospital with a half-severed foot as a result of one of the 6,000 bombs Israel has dropped on innocent Palestinians. The boy had to have his food amputated with only pain sedatives--and NO anesthesia because the Israelis have turned Palestinian apartment buildings in rubble and caused the collapse of the Palestinian health care system. But for the most part, the plight of this young boy and his amputated foot got NO news coverage.

If this happened to an Israeli boy, we would never hear the end of it.

OK, so, it's sad that a nine year old was injured after Israel fought back. But nobody purposely beheaded a baby, yeah? Get a fucking clue. There's the cost of war and there's an unprovoked barbaric slaughter. Moron.

I'm hoping General CNN becomes Chairman of the Chief Joints.

R60 Salute!

[quote]OK, so, it's sad that a nine year old was injured...

R59. Injured? This innocent Palestinian boy's foot was amputated with no anesthesia because the Israelis bombed his apartment building and the Palestinian health care system has collapsed. Get a fucking clue yourself. The Israelis are acting like barbarians and completely disproportionate to the Hamas attacks--as evil as they are. You chalk up bombing an apartment building by Israelis as "the cost of war" raining down on innocent Palestinians. But we're supposed to have sympathy for Israel no matter what they do? Fuck off, moron.

And no, I am not Arab or Muslim. I'm an American watching the American media throw its complete support to Israel and it's not right.

R62, You're also an idiot, sentimental, pliable, seeking a nice sanitized simpleton's answer, so we'll say no more.

R63. You know nothing other than being an Israeli lackey.

How on earth did the grating "Kaitlan" Collins get her own show? She's like a bossy boarding-school lacrosse-team captain, or a debate-team champ at a lesser junior college. Please send her back. I don't know how she keeps getting placed on these panels of "experts" -- is it just because she was instrumental in getting Don Lemon fired? (Not that he was such a loss either.) Okay; I've spewed; now I'm off to bed.

R65 - Ask Chris Licht.

Kaitlan Collins isn't an actual human. She's a robot created by the US government for experimentation on the public. The eyes and the voice give it away.

R67 - She’s getting better.

R68 Yes, her handlers updated some of her software.

Where is Alyson Camertotta?

R70 - She is working with Anderson Cooper on The Whole Story.

Camerota is a lost opportunity. She and Berman worked extremely well together.

She apparently did not want to continue with getting up at 3 am. R72

Brianna and Boris talk about tipping,

Why is Maggie on all the time?

Why don’t the Palestinians release the hostages? You’d think they’d do anything to stop the kids from getting killed, right?

Has CNN given up on weekend programming?

Long interview with Brianna Keilar - some on Trump but also on other things like being a military spouse.

It falls onto Manu to report about the third graders in the House GOP.

Pamela Brown is about ready to pop.

Cnn talking about lower gas prices

NYT article about Zaslav and CNN

[quote]But in a call with Mr. Licht after the meeting, Mr. Zaslav belittled Mr. Zucker as a weakling who had tears in his eyes, several people with knowledge of the conversation said. “Can you believe this?” Mr. Zaslav asked, injecting an expletive.

How Trumpy

[quote]As Mr. Stelter stepped off the set after his final show, Mr. Zaslav called him and said he was “taking a lot of heat” for the decision.

Imagine having just finished your last show, and the CEO calls you whining that people are being mean about him allowing you to be fired.

R82-Zaslav is a big part of the problem.

Paula Reid getting a chance to anchor. Harry is bad at presenting.

John Berman is a great team player. He's been partnered with Christine Romans, Alyson Camerotta, Briana Keilor, Poppy Harlow. He deserves his own spot. He appears to be one of the few men who isn't intimidated by being assigned women partners.

R85 - I think he does better with someone. Most of them do.

R85, which men do you think are intimidated by women partners?

Poppy Harlow and Jim Sciutto were a horrible combination. You could actually smell the intense mutual dislike, especially from Jim, who fancied/s himself as higher-level stuff. That said, Poppy Harlow is pretty awful with anybody. Agreed that John Berman somehow makes it work.

I like Omar Jimenez

OMG Boris Sanchez shaved his head and grew a beard, he looks horrible

Scroll down for photo of shaved head.

He looks older.

Was Boris losing his hair and he decided to shave it instead?

R92 not sure but shaving his head just makes it look bigger and the beard makes him look fatter

More importantly, does Boris have a big dick?

He looks like former Proud Boys leader and new resident of the Federal Penal system, Enrique Tarrio

I let it defrost until you can run salt water through it to remove the giblets. Then I put carrots , celery and onion chopped in the bottom of the roasting pan and add a cup of water. Then I put the turkey in the pan and season with spices. I prefer garlic powder, paprika and seasoning salt . Then I cover with foil and put it in the oven at 275. I do this at 10 PM then night before and let it cook all night. When I wake at 6:00 AM , I uncover the turkey and if it's cooked all the way through , I turn off the oven and let it sit in the oven until the skin gets brown all over. After about an hour check on it . If it looks brown take it out of the oven and let it cool before carving.

Wrong thread, R96?

The bald head cancels half the hot on Boris. He looks awful. He used to be insanely sexy. Dripping sex.

What are your thoughts on Alex Marquardt?

R99 He's could be Andrew Rannells straight little brother. I like him. Straightforward and doesn't aim the spotlight at himself.

^* He

Kelly Ripa out, Laura Coates in, on CNN Heroes. Are Kelly and Anderson on the outs or did CNN just want one of their own to be host.

Very yellow top, Brianna.

Erin Burnett just interviewed Secretary Pete about Speaker Johnson’s endorsement of a book with homophobic insults specifically mentioning Pete (which she read out loud on air). He did a good job as usual, except I think he missed one opportunity. When Erin contacted Johnson’s office, they claimed the Speaker hadn’t read those parts and didn’t agree with them. Pete said he didn’t believe him. Wouldn’t it have better to say 1) I’m glad he rejects that content now and 2) nobody should write the forward for a book he hasn’t read? At least point out that Johnson is backing away from the attacks on Pete instead of doubling down. I don’t believe him either, but why not try to hold to him to his denial? Interesting that Pete kept referring to himself as “married to a man” rather gay or homosexual. They even showed photos with Chasten.

R104 Pete is a rising star.
