SHOTS FIRED: Joe Biden Threatens to Destroy CNN if Elected

Former vice president Joe Biden posted a seemingly innocent Twitter message on Thursday regarding the social media strategy he would pursue if elected president in November.

You won't have to worry about my tweets when I'm president.

— Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) July 30, 2020

Reading between the lines, however, Biden's message suggests a sinister plot to bankrupt CNN by destroying the left-wing media network's business model.

For example, an IQ Media search of the phrase "the president just tweeted" yields almost 200 results from CNN programming. Brian Stelter, the host of Reliable Sources, has devoted ample time and resources to spell-checking President Donald Trump's tweets and analyzing the frequency and engagement levels of said tweets.

During the 2016 presidential campaign, CNN's obsession with all things Trump helped the eventual GOP nominee earn more than $2 billion in free media coverage. "CNN helped make [Trump] by carrying every speech he made in the primary season," said former CNN anchor Larry King. "It was almost like the other guys didn't exist."

Joe Biden's central campaign message in 2020—"I'm not Donald Trump"—is an existential threat to CNN. Stelter and other opinion journalists are especially vulnerable. What will become of thenewspaper columnists who earn six-figure salaries writing weekly screeds about why the thing Trump said or did is bad or dangerous or evil or a threat to democracy?

The only reason CNN and others report on Trump tweets is because he says so many stupid things via twitter. Most people with any level of common sense would NEVER tweet the crud he spews

Politicians for many decades...typically promise the moon, but NEVER deliver...its just a game to them...politics.
Pres. Trump on the other hand....not being a politician, cant be bought, cant be blackmailed, cant stifle his Patriotism....has not ONLY kept his ALL campaign promises, He's done hundreds of things MORE to MAGA. If you dont like his tweets the click the flippin X and go lay down. There are millions {the majority} that like hearing directly from the President. Not one individual is going to do anything to stifle cnn, they are a major tool for the dnc and their handlers. You as an individual have more power to destroy cnn by not watching and encouraging others to not support them either. Theres still major swamp draining to do....FOUR MORE YEARS!!!!
