    It doesn’t add up because a lot of the pretty CNN idiots are Trump protagonists. I think they decided to fire him, for whatever reason, and forced him out so they didn’t have to pay his severance.

      Sure, but for Trump it’s important not just to have sycophants but to not have any dissent.

          It’s really funny that they keep accusing everyone else of making things up when they don’t even have the basic details correct, like the fact that his show aired in the morning and not during primetime. It’s literally in the second sentence. But reading comprehension doesn’t appear to be their strong suit.

        Well, make up whatever you want then. Who actually gives a fuck? Acosta probably pissed off someone and got shoved off his primetime slot. There are plenty of CNN dipshits who criticize Trump. This is the dumbest argument in the history of all of civilization (CNN can confirm this)

          It’s amazing what kind of basic information about a news story you can learn when you take two minutes to read the article. You know, like what time his show actually aired. (Hint: it wasn’t primetime)

          So once again, the only person making things up here is you.

        I’m saying the Newsweek report probably doesn’t have the full story. We can both be right here because there isn’t enough evidence in the article to say either way.

          What exactly do you think the full story is? Because you originally said:

          Probably ratings driven.

          It is not, as I showed you.

              You can’t lie about ratings. They are gathered by a third party, not CNN.

              Unless you think everyone from Nielsen to AdWeek is in on this conspiracy.

                Honestly can’t remember what we’re arguing about. Find something important to spend your energy on homeboy.

              I hate to be the one to let in on this, but TV ratings are publicly verifiable. The only person making things up here is you.
