CNN blasted for 'clickbait conspiracy theories' over Abraham Lincoln piece
 [NYPOST] CNN...formerly the Cable News Network, now who know what it might stand for... is accused of pushing "clickbait conspiracy theories" with its deep dive into whether Abraham Lincoln was a racist — and concluding that the answer is "complicated." The lengthy "analysis" was published Sunday under the headline "Did Black lives matter to Abraham Lincoln? It’s complicated" and penned by enterprise news hound John Blake. It delves into the 16th president’s "complex and evolving" legacy, noting that in recent years, Honest Abe’s perception of black and Native Americans has been called into question. By insignificant trash who're not fit to wipe his ass "If some of Lincoln’s public utterances about Blacks were retweeted today, he would have been canceled on social media and likely run out of office," Blake writes in the article, which coincides with a six-part podcast series on Lincoln’s legacy. The piece was bashed by political satirist Tim Young, who accused the network of trying to save its dwindling viewership since President Donald Trump ...The tack in the backside of the Democratic Party... left office by finding "a new boogeyman." "CNN is officially jumping the shark with this new take that Lincoln was a racist — which is the final nail in the coffin for them being able to call themselves a news organization — now they’re just clickbait conspiracy theories," Young told Fox News. "Anything for a buck, including calling the president who ended slavery racist. Way to prove why no one should ever believe a thing that’s ever on your network." Posted by: Fred 2021-03-19 |
