Dennis Goes Off and Chris Breaking News – Shame on You CNN

January 7, 2014

CNN - Today, CNN went full throttle in Anchor Chris Cuomo Exclusive Interview on New Day.  It would appear that CNN'S attempt to exploit Dennis Rodman, Charles Smith and the NBA players' event in North Korea led to Dennis going off - Chris's refusal to respect the reason they were there - rather, he kept with his private political agenda.  Viewers waste no time and let them know their displeasure in twits and calls. 

North Korea President - Kim Jong-un

The attack by CNN was followed from show-to-show.  It was immediately clear that the SPIN was on and the PUSH BACK by viewers was overwhelmingly not in favor of Chris.  CNN started to use words to discredit Rodman and used words to brand behavior - "crazy", "bufoonery and "meltdown".  This moved to seeking comments from outsiders to support discrediting - White House - NBA - Ex-Governor Bill Richardson - ex-this and that person, by Legal View Cuomo had been sent out to defend but fanned flames with his comments that seem to verify his aim of exploitation to get a scoop. 

The afternoon started with Brooke demonizing other members of the team - brought in CNN' sport analyst Greg Anthony (ex-NBA).  Anthony's combined comments spoke to reasonableness and fairness for Rodman and team.  Comedian/actors Kevin Martin and Ice Cube - Ice Cube spoke with reasonableness and supported Rodman's right to go.  Jake Tapper through Anderson Cooper continued the constant refrain of  damage control - demonizing Rodman (did not work). Comments by those who pretend to be leaders and/or diplomats - David Stern, NBA Commissioner and ex- ambassador on Wolf's Situation Room, engaged in whitewash, monetizing, demonizing and less-than "dignified" way of speaking for true diplomacy he claimed Dennis was lacking. Commissioner Stern is known for being a bully, rants, racism/overseer and pompous behavior.  He has also history with run-ins and NBA fines with Dennis going back 14 years.  So, why does he think he is "dignified", more importantly credible simply because he has a title and spoke with absolute.  Dennis and the NBA Team wanted to share cultural goodwill and was met with sabatoge.

Anchor Chris Cuomo and the producers at CNN unsuccessively lost because they left journalism, respect and fairness out of the mix for great reporting.  Lastly, Americans are too often in a non-justified position of moral authority - as far as friendship and dictators - dictators that kill and their people in poverty - America's "friendship" and payment of billions with dictators - have caused millions to die, this includes our solders in 7 figures - remember Saddam Hussein.   Not to mention the Enduring  Concentrated Poverty that is in the richest country - individuals, especially African Americans are shot everyday in America by law enforcement with no consequence - we can not even get a sensible extension for unemployment January 7, 2014 - it is the pot talking about the kettle.

 "I took issue mostly with the duplicitous comments the spinners gave to discredit, belittle and demonize Mr. Dennis Rodman, yet they wanted him to use his 'friendship' with President Kim Jung-un (of which they seem to have an issue with) to help rescue Mr. Kenneth Bae.  I also noticed how during the day, some individuals tried to separate (divide and conquer) the other players from Dennis.   I do hope they see through the foolishness and not become pawns."  It is the Willie Lynch theory."
