Sen. Lankford downplays Hegseth sharing war plans in a Signal chat: "I think he just joined into an encrypted app. I don't see it as much of an issue ... this is normal communication."

I can't watch them anymore. Acosta was the best...he knew

I was born in Oklahoma and lived there for decades. These are the kind of people who represent the "intellectual elite" of Oklahoma. That's why I got the fuck out of that backwards, armpit state in 1992 and never looked back.

Right before Lankford heads off to church!

jenniekstone.bsky.social•8 days ago

I stopped watching after they showcased King Cheeto the day after he was convicted of sexual assault. No surprises there.

Normal communications? Sending service members on a hazardous mission and using an app that can be hacked and was intended to erase the discussion to avoid retention rules can never be considered normal.🤡

Remember BBB?Remember when CNN negotiated with Democrats on air? And demanded and got a deadline? And portrayed Manchin as an irreproachable statesman standing up for his values as he took each campaign promise hostage and executed any that didn’t pass through donors hands first? And voters gave up?

Normalizing the corruption fascism protects. Just as oligarch owner John Malone wanted.

This is the plan but these morons. Just happened on MTP. Markwayne Mullen lied through his teeth with zero push back.

instantdogma.bsky.social•8 days ago

Shitty corporate media still shitty.

bsorohan.bsky.social•8 days ago

Certainly. It's just like how most normal tourist experiences at the Capitol include assaulting police, destroying property, and defiling monuments.

bobinct.bsky.social•8 days ago

Most newscasters don’t call out the lies that they plainly hear coming from their interviewees. CNN seems to make a habit of it, just sitting there staring straight ahead with no expression on their faces. So boring.

yallagal.bsky.social•8 days ago

These people NEVER take responsibility for anything! They think we're ALL MORONS, like their base

justmyself123.bsky.social•8 days ago

This Oklahoma senator will shill for his party and openly lie on Sunday and thump a bible later that morning. Multi-talented con artist

jmeijers.bsky.social•8 days ago

Completer abdication of any responsibility to their viewers in order to extract as much profit as possible.

vuduchyld.bsky.social•8 days ago

Just absolutely NO pushback at all to the gaslighting. Zero.

theultrasecret.bsky.social•8 days ago

Professional bullshitters are on both sides of that split screen, and there is no mainstream option to turn to where we will find otherwise.

mnlib69.bsky.social•7 days ago

Just ask Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum— they’ve made a 2nd career out of doing this.

snoopyg.bsky.social•8 days ago

Nope, it’s not Ok. He’d have a coronary if it had been a Democrat.

She just sits there stonefaced as he spits lie after lie at her. What good does she think she does? Why is anybody watching?

waitingforyeshua.bsky.social•8 days ago

CNN is inviting the Republicans on so the American people can see what liars they are. CNN is not lying. Pay attention my friend.

heartlandannie.bsky.social•8 days ago

I can’t watch Dana Bash. Nope.

uranusrising.bsky.social•8 days ago

Hitting the heart is for what you said. I don’t know why everyone in this country is such a coward that has the power to communicate and change things. If we lose the fascism, the blame is on those who did not fight and have the guts, including the court and Congress.

philk10.bsky.social•8 days ago

gave up on them in 2016 and see no reason to ever go back to watching

paulwcraig1.bsky.social•8 days ago

Further on they were blaming Democrats for Afghanistan withdrawal .Should the push back not have been it was Trump's shitty deal he negotiated and he let 5000 Taliban out of prison?

I've watched for years, and feel bad for the majority of reporters who are mentally and emotionally held hostage and abused daily by the bigwigs there.

dawnwestlake.bsky.social•8 days ago

CNN also falls for our foreign adversaries' ops (Jake Tapper) and stages stories in remote locations like Afghanistan & Syria (Clarissa Ward). Horrible!

antonshadow.bsky.social•8 days ago

I Guess FelonTrump's Cabinet Of Morons Missed The Signal Chat Breach Confirmed Months Ago, As Hackers Started Publishing US IDs, Personal Info, Device Information And The Decryption Key For So-called Secure Chats. INCOMPETENT/STUPID, That Is The FelonTrump Administration.

diamondlifeca.bsky.social•7 days ago

They probably did the hack.

walterdragon.bsky.social•7 days ago

Everyone needs to stop watching this fucking channel.

silvertipgrizz.bsky.social•8 days ago

………. it may very well “normal communication” for Republicans doing their best to avoid accountability ………. Freudian slip perhaps?

davidchasecohen.bsky.social•7 days ago

Sundays are always the worst on this app

jillym98.bsky.social•7 days ago

They don't just have them on to lie. They employ them to lie.

carolnorris.bsky.social•8 days ago

🤬

markrnay.bsky.social•7 days ago

CNN became intolerable several years ago. I still love Fareed Zakariha (always spell it wrong) but that is the only thing i will watch there

jim0novak.bsky.social•8 days ago

Access journalism is not actual journalism.

northsleuth.bsky.social•8 days ago

Dana just lets them lie while she blinks her eyes, and moves on to the next lie.

sunkissedpeaks.bsky.social•8 days ago

Normal unless a democrat had done it....

naveman.bsky.social•8 days ago

Dana Bash is the worst person to have on for these interviews. I think she’s a secret Republican parading around as a fawning Democrat. Zero pushback when they peddle their lies and gullibly falls for all their bad faith BS.

mcsweeney.bsky.social•7 days ago

And it's meant to disappear without a trace. This is standard operating procedure. Intentionally used due to the fact their corruption would become untraceable.

huggers23.bsky.social•8 days ago

I intend to stick to my limit of saying this only once per day, but CNN is normalizing and ushering in fascism in a much more dangerous way than Fox. If you're watching Fox, you're already gone. Whatever. But CNN is trying to push people off the fence.

waitingforyeshua.bsky.social•8 days ago

I completely disagree. CNN is one of the only cable networks that speak the truth to advise the general public of what is happening. You will not find this info on any local news station or other cable news station. Your assessment is short sighted.

markrnay.bsky.social•7 days ago

But unless they (CNN) say that lies are being told the audience does not know and CNN is enabling the spread of disinformation and propaganda. They have a responsibility to bring information. Not its evil twin

huggers23.bsky.social•7 days ago

I admire your confidence, if not your precision.

faceonmars.bsky.social•8 days ago

Haven't seen the rest of the segment, but I Dana Bash simply doesn't follow up effectively IMO

jaywilliams.pro•8 days ago

Dana Bash with the soulless eyes of a shark

spaceartal.bsky.social•8 days ago

Too bad Lankford decided to quit being a normal and reasonable senator. He has gone full-MAGA and can't possibly believe what he said here. Why didn't Bash push back and call him out on this lie. The media is becoming more and more an enabler of The Convicted Felon and his fascism.
