Is there any way to reconcile the above that does not involve CNN being propaganda and/or what is essentially state run media similar to what is broadcast in North Korea or China?
It is, and always was, but you guys are realizing it now (I'm not blaming you).
Remember the CNNs news justifing the "war on terror" a decade ago, the evil muslims, dictators, the weapons of mass destruction... helping the rebels in Syria, now the same in Venezuela.
CNN supports bankers, debt, war... it doesn't matter if the guy in power is a republican or democrat, as long as it does any (or all) of that.
Stop justifying your far left leanings by blaming capitalism. You're not fooling anyone. I dare you to show me one, just one CNN news article (not opinion) where anything remotely resembling "the evil muslims" [sic] was published.
I am not sure he is doing that, but maybe you have read other posts of theirs I have not which would suggest this. They are correct in the assertion though, and frankly this was part of the plan, to use 9/11 to start a war between the West and Islam, and was even outlined in P.N.A.C. documentation.
Early on they sold all of the civil rights stripping legislation such as The P.A.T.R.I.O.T. Act, The John Warner Defense Authorization act of 2007, and the invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan using this "evil Muslim" narrative. I remember distinctly thinking at the time these people were stupid because they were told it was "just for the Muslim terrorists" not to be applied to them. Yeah right. Remember these people are all about controlled opposition, so they abuse all "sides" ideology until the tactics reach fatigue, then they flip to abuse the polar opposite ideology all the while dividing and conquering.
