HOLY SH*T! CNN Broadcasts Term ‘Sh*thole’ Nearly TWO HUNDRED Times in One Day
January 16, 2018| by Donn Marten
What we are currently witnessing has never occurred before in American history as the media has been fully weaponized against a legitimately elected president.
For well over a year now, wave after wave of negative stories, riffs on those stories, flat-out fake news and recycled negative stories roll out of every website, newsstand, radio, and television in America all with the implicit intent to propagandize enough people against President Trump to get him out of office.
The latest has been the screeching hysteria that Trump may have used the term “shithole” in reference to countries that are to put it kindly – shitholes.
24/7 the slime pours out of the media and now that the Democrats and their allies have done their first week of pounding Trump, his enemies from the GOP primaries are moving in as well.
One of them is the sneaky little twit Senator Lindsey Graham who has joined in on the Trump smash and bash derby to unbelievably state that because of the POTUS – that children can no longer watch the news.
No Shit!

Via the Hill “Graham: ‘It’s pretty embarrassing’ when children can’t listen to the news”:
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) on Monday said it’s “pretty embarrassing,” when parents have to censor their children from news reports, an apparent reference to stories that President Trump referred to certain nations as “shithole countries” in the Oval Office.
“The discourse right now is pretty low. We are producing some pretty good policy, but those of us in my business need to up their game,” Graham told ABC News.
“It’s pretty embarrassing when you have to take your children out of the room to report the news,” he continued.
What the Palmetto State princess conveniently fails to mention is that it is the media itself which is to blame for the constant stream of profanity that the children are hearing.
Take CNN for example…. The self-proclaimed “most trusted name in news” broadcast the term SHITHOLE nearly 200 freaking times in ONE day!
CNN Airs 195 Uses of 'S***hole' in a day! https://t.co/KDWlq91QHu

Via Newsbusters “CNN Leaps Into The Toilet: Network Aired 195 Uses of ‘S***hole’ on Friday”:
In the contest for Most Offended News Network after President Trump reportedly referred to African nations as “s***hole” countries, CNN wins hands down. NewsBusters staff combed through CNN transcripts on Nexis for the S-hole word in the 24 hours of January 12 – the first full day after The Washington Post reported the controversy – and found CNN staffers and CNN guests uncorked the profanity 195 times in one day.
That doesn’t count Saturday, Sunday or Monday. They could be headed for 1,000 by now. It also doesn’t count the amount of time they put the S-word on screen (sometimes twice, as you can see on Cuomo’s temporary prime time show.)
Compare that to Fox News Channel. Their curse count was zero. FNC told staff and guests not to say it.
ABC, CBS, and the PBS NewsHour were also zero, and the NBC Nightly News uncorked one on January 11. FCC obscenity regulations apply only to broadcast TV stations between 6 am and 10 pm, so cable networks can let it fly without any fear of fines.
MSNBC’s prime-time shows (the only ones in Nexis) used 14 S-words from 5 pm to 11 pm on Friday.
Some hours of Friday were much more aggressive in their use of the word. Don Lemon’s show CNN Tonight used 33 S-bombs — 22 in the 10 pm hour, and another 11 at 11 pm. Lemon did everything but ask if the missing Malaysian jet vanished into an S-hole.
Lemon lectured “it was people from what he calls shithole countries who built this country, who built the White House. Nothing that Donald Trump says can change that.”
Technically there were 196 S-bombs, since Van Jones noted in Lemon’s space “I understand what he actually said was shithouse, and so he didn’t say shithole.” Also technically, Nexis showed no CNN transcript from 3:15 to 4:00 am. (We typically don’t record overnight.)
CNN’s New Day also rolled out 33 S-bombs in its three hours from 6 am to 9 am. Let’s hope the soccer moms didn’t watch Cuomo and Camerota on Friday. By contrast, Wolf Blitzer’s and Erin Burnett’s hours only aired two apiece.
Senator Graham should go and suck on that for awhile before he shoots off his mouth the next time.
