CNN Hero Goes Down in Flames

During the bogus Kavanaugh lynching attempt CNN had this POS on their network over 100 times and was fawned over by everybody on that least trusted news network. Little Brian Stelter even said he would make a great Democrat candidate for president!! LOL

Here's the extent on CNN's coverage of this story:

A jury found Michael Avenatti guilty on all three counts he was facing in federal court. Prosecutors accused Avenatti of attempting to extort Nike for millions of dollars.

When you're as embarrassed as hell, (again), and you just have to write something to say you did.

CNN Producer: He is a scumbag.
CNN Host: He has evidence against Trump and it is about sex."
CNN Producer: Sex crimes against Trump? Give Avenatti an hour every night!"

Straw man argument.. The reason he got put on that pedestal was because he joined the hate Trump mutual masturbation society.

But, do keep this in mind:
Trump Is Why You Got Michael Avenatti
by AMANDA CARPENTER | FEBRUARY 16, 2020

There is only one reason why anyone even knows Avenatti’s name, and it has nothing to do with Nike. It’s because Trump had an affair with a porn star and paid her hush money to keep her from telling the story to voters before the 2016 election.

So, who is the good guy here? Trick question! None of them.

There are no heroes in this story. It’s scuzzbucket politics, all the way down. Which is the type of thing that conservatives used to try to avoid. First there’s Trump, the man who cheated on his lovely wife, who was at home caring for their new baby, with random women he met while “out on business.” Then there are the two women who had affairs with him: porn actress Stormy Daniels and Playboy Playmate Karen McDougal. They both knew Trump was married. They both tried to sell their stories before the election and they both accepted hush money to stay quiet.

If you hate Michael Avenatti, don’t blame The Media. Trump is the one who brought him into your life.

That’s not a coincidence.

Of course, Trump is responsible, what else is new from the Left. Wait, Trump is not responsible for the booming economy, Obama told me so.

From Wikipedia:
In July 2015, Carpenter returned to her journalism career.[9] She is a contributor for CNN.[10] She is known for critiquing President Trump, in particular his treatment of women.[10] Carpenter has said that she agrees with some of his policy decisions, but that the scandals surrounding his presidency make it "very difficult" to defend him.[10] In her 2018 book Gaslighting America: Why We Love It When Trump Lies to Us, she critiques Trump's propensity for lying.[11][12][13]

As to the Bulwark, I would expect someone from the Left to proffer the Bulwark as a conservative blog, how about these two contributors featured prominently on there home page, "Tim Miller is a contributor to The Bulwark and a communications consultant. He previously served as senior advisor to the anti-Trump Our Principles PAC, communications director for Jeb Bush, and spokesman for the Republican National Committee.

Richard North Patterson is a lawyer, political commentator and best-selling novelist. He is a former chairman of Common Cause and a member of the Council on Foreign Relations.

I will add that Mona Charen is a contributor, also featured on the home page. AND for the piece de resistance, the editor at large is Bill Kristol, formerly a Never Trumper, now a democrat unabashedly so.
I do think that it is necessary to further debunk the assertion that it is a conservative publication.

Seems like you covered but I think it worth footnoting that TDS and the deep state far transcend left right partisanship.

On a separate note lest there be any doubt:

Amanda Carpenter, "former communications director to Sen. Ted Cruz and speechwriter to Sen. Jim DeMint."

Hardly "The Left."

Kinda like Rick Wilson? LOL

It's amazing how every topic has to be brought back to Trump in some way.

You know SC, you're likely going to have to vote for either Sanders or Bloomberg if you want to help to take Trump out. So you guys are going to either get a guy that will destroy the economy or a guy that's everything the left has been whining about for the last 3 years, and worse. Sophie's choice 2020. unreal yet strangely satisfying.
