Jeff Lord Fired by CNN

[Shabibilicious]

CNN is quickly running out of conservatives to kick around.  They simply can't stay out of their own way.  Lord's hypocritical ways have long been an issue for other panelists.  This is a perfect example.  He accuses the MMFA of censorship of free speech, which in this case is actually the truth on Lord's part......but he completely dismisses or spins the very same thing when Trump does it, which is pretty much an hourly occurrence.  One day staunch Trumpers may finally understand the difference between non-PC and stupidity.

Even Nazis have rights to freedom of speech. We don't have to like or agree with what they say, but they have the right.. Or maybe we should just run them down with our giant pick-up trucks as some here would suggest..

I don't agree with censorship in any form.....but I also know advertising pays the bills.  Just ask Fox News.

I’ve said before that politics makes for strange bedfellows, but in this case it doesn’t seem all that strange.  To realize that Shabs and Soros are rooting for the same team really is not a stretch.  Sad part is to think he’s just another puppet being pulled on Soros strings.

The not for profit Media Matters, led by Clinton confidant David Brock has been trying to take down anything remotely conservative in the media since its founding in 2004.  As a 501(c)(3) donations are tax deductible.  So Soros gets maximum bang for his buck when donating to MM, saturating the news cycle with slanted and outright false stories and a big tax write off.  Just another swamp creature taking full advantage of the slime his money has purchased through the Democrat party.  And when it comes to Nazi salutes, Soros knows a thing or two about that.

 

Media Matters Falsely Claims It Only Got One Soros Gift. Try 5!

CNN fired commentator Jeffrey Lord after his big Twitter battle with Media Matters president Angelo Carusone. Lord had criticized the lefty outlet for being Soros-funded. Carusone repeatedly claimed on Twitter that Media Matters had only received “one donation one time...in 2010” from billionaire George Soros.

Turns out, that’s not at all true.

Soros’ Foundation to Promote Open Society (OSF) tax forms show five separate donations between 2010 and 2014 totalling $1,575,000. Soros gave the organization money every other year during that time. And, since the organization’s 990 tax forms aren’t yet available for 2016, it’s impossible to tell if that trend continued.

Of course, some media outlets reported Carusone’s falsehood from CNN to Heavy.

Carusone might be referring to the billionaire’s statement that he gave Media Matters $1 million back in 2010. Even if he is, that only accounts for part of the money, leaving another $575,000 unaccounted for and making the connection much more recent.

Politico reported on that gift in 2010. “George Soros announced that he has given $1 million to Media Matters ‘to hold Fox News accountable for the false and misleading information they so often broadcast.’”

OSF’s 2010 tax return reveals two separate donations to Media Matters for America -- one for $75,000 and one for $600,000. Both donations were “to provide general support.” That would leave $325,000 left to the 2010 gift.

In 2012, OSF gave Media Matters two more donations -- $400,000 for “general support” and $200,000 “to train and equip progressive spokespeople with the media skills and messaging they need to effectively communicate progressive values and ideals on economic and fiscal policy in the media.”

And a $300,000 donation from OSF went “to provide project support for the Spanish-language media monitoring project” in 2014.
