How CNN Made Smoking Weed, Drinking and Partying Uncool

 

CNN the fake news capital of the world. A network who attempts to morally brow beat the rest of the American people for being racist, sexist, etc.

Yet these outrages only apply to those who are not CNN, at least according to the CNN New Year’s Eve live broadcast.

I like Boobs

In 2017 CNN host Brooke Baldwin, in an interview with Clay Travis and Keith Reed, went off about how offended she was that Travis said “I am a first amendment absolutist; I believe in only two things completely, the first amendment and boobs.”

Not willing to pass up the opportunity for a good virtue signal Brooke Baldwin acts as if she is outraged and shocked.

Yet on New Year’s Eve, only three months later Baldwin, during a national live broadcast said to co-anchor Don Lemon “My balls are bigger than your balls.”

See video below:

 

Of course this is a joke referring to the ball necklaces both hosts are wearing, just like the boob comment from Clay Travis was a joke. Yet Baldwin is outraged by one and not the other.

This is just proof that all the virtue signaling done by these Progressive types is meaningless and two faced. It has nothing to do with standards, morals and principles and everything to do with an agenda of power.

Yet not all is lost. Clay Travis, watching CNN offers $10K to anyone who will go down and say “I love boobs” live on air with Brooke Baldwin and Don Lemon. One couple took him up on the offer.

Pot Bus and Kush Kaye

Marijuana is now legal in several states including Colorado. CNN decided to send a reporter out to Colorado to cover the Puff, Pass, and Paint event on New Year’s Eve.

You can see the reporter, Randi Kaye or Kush Kaye as she calls herself, on a pot bus heading to the event. During her interview she produces a gas mask fitted with a bong on the end and has one of the bus goers demonstrate its use.

They return to Kush Kaye later in the night while she is at the event. She is holding a joint to the camera while laughing and waving it around as she explains what is happening around her.

My Takeaway

I personally do not care if people want to smoke pot. That is their choice and if it is legal and they are of age than go ahead. I also do not have a problem with people cracking jokes and partying.

Yet the drunkenness on display by Don Lemon and Brooke Baldwin and the level of hypocrisy is cringe inducing. Smoking pot, partying, and drinking were cool things to do, when you were in your twenties. Sure it is fun occasionally and if that is what people are into, more power to them.

Yet seeing Don Lemon, Brooke Baldwin, and Randi Kaye of CNN (people who like to morally grandstand and virtue signal every chance they get) debauch themselves in this manner just highlights the fact that the new counterculture is responsibility and morality.

The CNN New Year’s Eve live broadcast was like watching your parents trying to be ‘hip’ and ‘cool’ or like watching that person who is obnoxiously drunk at the party making a fool of themselves without realizing it. At the end it just made those things less ‘cool’ than they seemed before.

In the end I do not have a problem with these actions, we all like to have a little fun now and then, and instead it is the hypocrisy I take issue with.

CNN, in one night, did more damage to the culture of partying and pot smoking than any conservative group could do in a decade. Welcome to 2018, it is going to be a good year.
