King Fraud
Dipping and diving ratings pushed CNN to buffoonery to shore up its incredible news reporting. The once mammoth King of the Road cable channel that brought the 24-hour news cycle to the world remains in a struggle love relationship with the public. Many viewers who tune in to CNN take everything its hosts say with a grain of salt. Most of the poppy shows reporters have slid into the trench holes of propagandists for war machines.
The skullduggery caused many trusting souls to turn to bottom feeders on social media for stories worldwide. In 1991, when Bernard Shaw reported on the Gulf War in Iraq, he said the news — showed he was not a lopsided propagandist.
On Wednesday night, CNN introduced a new weekly show they gave the misnomer King Charles. The show features once reputable “newscaster” Gayle King and former NBA basketball player Charles Barkley. Why not call the show by a more fitting title: King Fraud?
The Black apologist Charles Barkley was quick to apologize to the audience. Telling them, “I’m not saying I’m King Charles — referencing the Charles of England — the late Lady Diana’s ex-husband. Barkley, no one thought you were King Charles of England.
The dynamic duo started the weekly broadcast with Charley Barkley (who is akin to Fox “News’ Laurence Billy Jones) saying of the show. “We gonna have fun. We gonna give an opinion. We not gonna be opinionated. There’s a difference.” He should have said, look, we on CNN. We Negroes. We don’t have opinions of our own. We ain’t gon let Massa get us.” Who wrote that shit for Barkley? Barkley’s statement was followed by Gayle King’s.
We are not a show of record, she said. No kidding, Ms. King, CNN has long moved away from that iconic status. Gayle King said, “We are a show of what we find interesting.” That is fair enough. She continued, “Some of it will be serious, and some will be silly.” At which time, her co-host quickly chimed in. “That’ll me, the silly.” Well said, Barkley.
