Looks like CNN really is swinging hard right

Clicked on CNN news, the top "story" is a hitpiece on Bidens student loan forgiveness titled

"The truth about who is excluded from college debt relief"

https://www.cnn.com/

"What about us poor 1%ers who's mommies and daddy's got us accepted into universities by bribery, and paid our loans off?"

Fuck you, CNN.

Or more specifically, fuck you, Zachary B. Wolf, author of this pulp.

I owe $8 grand. Pay my taxes, happily. If I can write down ed loans that's about $6500 to the net worth. Not a BFD either way.

They could not care less about accurate news reporting - just money.

First of all it’s not going to cause inflation. Moody’s and other groups have already said it won’t. The article is garbage.

The main point is to complain that the limit should be higher than $125K for individuals and $250k for couples. Sorry, he had to draw the line somewhere. He’s been roundly criticized for having it too high.

The it blames Biden for Joe Manchin not going along with the Child Tax Credit expansion?

This article is non sensical and points all over the place.

AT&T just had to let go of OAN, so they needed a new outlet to spin modern day GOP fascism.

And have stopped watching CNN. I also know others that have done the same thing, so I expect their rating to start tanking from their changes.
