There is a lot going on in the world right now that is completely unreported. Maine's lobster harvest is booming, up 325 percent since 1991. Japanese Emperor Akihito is seeking to abdicate the throne to his oldest son, Naruhito. This opens up the debate for women's rights to the throne in the Japanese imperial system, or whether the imperial system should even be a thing.
A lawsuit was brought up against the Illinois DOC, revealing the gross militarization within prisons. Yet when it comes to these stories, the silence is deafening.
Why is this the case? Nobody even knows these things are happening because the mainstream media keeps milking the goat that is the affair between President Donald Trump and former adult film star Stormy Daniels (real name Stephanie Clifford).
First some context. Daniels claimed to have met the president at a golf tournament back in 2006. They would go on to have a sexual escapade. Fast forward to 2016, when Trump's lawyer, Michael Cohen, gave her $130,000 to keep quiet about the whole thing.
A couple weeks ago, on March 7, Daniels filed a lawsuit claiming the nondisclosure agreement was invalid due to the fact Trump never personally signed it, meaning that he and Cohen were "intimidating her into silence". Since then, the scandal had been running on CNN and CBS nonstop.
I for one am sick and tired of hearing about Trump and Daniels. It was an event covering a decade, that she had consented to, and that she took money for quiet on. In terms of operating procedure for a man who has done this on several occasions before, this is par for the course.
More to the point, this leads to the populace not being informed. The job of a serious news reporter is to report the facts in as unbiased a manner as possible, and let the readers and viewers analyze and interpret them on their own. CNN is not doing this. They are simply whoring themselves to make as much money as possible.
Please, CNN, you want to prove to be a bastion of truth, especially all the crap that happened with Project VERITAS? Then stop reporting on garbage like this and cover real news. This exhaustive coverage of this affair is getting ridiculous and bordering, dare I say fake news.
