CNN should be praised for banning Trump “thug” Roger Stone
In February, CNN announced that it had banned Donald Trump surrogate Roger Stone from its airways. This week, MSNBC similarly banned Stone, which was revealed when they cut out an interview that Bloomberg’s With All Due Respect did with him — which MSNBC re-airs an hour later.
Media Research Center President Brent Bozell said, “CNN and MSNBC should be applauded for banning Roger Stone from their airwaves. Stone’s recent threats to intimidate delegates at the Republican Convention by broadcasting their hotel rooms and his long history of incendiary and offensive rhetoric add no value to the national discourse. Agree with them or not, Trump’s surrogates are fine people. But Stone is a thug who relishes personal insults, character assassination, and offensive gestapo-like tactics that should be unequivocally dismissed by civil society, most especially those who might give him a platform from which to spew his hatred.
“The news media have for far too long ignored Stone’s inflammatory words. I hope all media outlets that lament the debasement of political dialogue and the gutter politics for which Stone is infamous follow the lead of CNN and MSNBC. The media should shun him. He is the David Duke of politics. Those with whom he is affiliated should denounce him in no uncertain terms.”
