CNN reports segregationist and Klan member David Duke likes Donald Trump, as though that were news. It is likely Duke also likes beefsteak, should we all become vegetarians? I'll bet he likes several things you like, so what? Answer: so nothing.
Let me give you an exact parallel. Adolf Hitler was a vegetarian. Does that make all vegetarians Nazis or Nazi-sympathizers? Of course not. He also wore clothes, should we all become nudists?
Along with Franklin Roosevelt, Hitler was among the first politicians to skillfully utilize the new medium of radio. Does that make them brothers, allies? Demonstrably not, more like implacable foes.
This story approaches the absolute nadir of journalism, it is intentionally misleading propaganda. I declare it to be even more reprehensible than TV interviewers who shove a mic in the face of someone grieving and ask them "How do you feel?" as though the picture doesn't surpass any words they will then utter.
If Trump says he likes David Duke, that is legitimate news. If Anthony Weiner, the noted sexter, says he likes Hillary, as he almost certainly does, that is not news. If Hillary says she likes Weiner, that is news.
Shame on CNN.
