A brave CNN insider came to Project Veritas to expose anti-Trump bias at the cable giant. Cary Poarch, who works at CNN’s Washington D.C. Bureau, tells Project Veritas “I decided to wear a hidden camera…to expose the bias running rampant” at the network. Poarch documented CNN’s bias for months; recording undercover footage of numerous long-term employees, some of which talk about Jeff Zucker’s anti-Trump agenda. In the video are Nick Neville, Christian Sierra, Hiram Gonzalez, David Chalian, and Mike Brevna. These employee’s positions range from media coordinator to high-ranking executives. I decided to secretly record the 9:00am rundown call meetings with senior management and executives, says Poarch. In the recordings, Zucker details his expectations for CNN’s coverage and very matter-of-factly states “impeachment is the story.”

How so?
Guns are a derpublican thing.
Illegal immigrants are a derpocratic thing.
We should expect derpocrats to reward illegal immigrants and punish lawful gun owners, just as we should expect derpublicans to do precisely the oppoosite.
Honestly, the things that you claim to find confusing astonish me. It's like you're walking around wearing 1950s-tinted-glasses.

Wait...but the opposite is to..........
punish illegal immigrants and reward lawful gun owners.
So...punish illegal activity, and reward legal activity? Isn't that a good thing?

But no, punishing illegal activity is not a good thing if the person doing the illegality is a minority or otherwise disadvantaged, because straight white men wrote the laws that they are allegedly violating.

Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan had a simple response to President Trump’s Oct. 9 letter warning him against taking action along the Syrian border: He threw it “in the bin.”
Sources close to Erdogan confirmed to the BBC Thursday that the Turkish strongman “thoroughly rejected” the letter in which Trump threatened to “[destroy] the Turkish economy” if he took military action in Syria following his announcement several days earlier to withdraw all U.S. troops from the northeast of Syria.
