You can tell a lot about people when their backs are against the wall. How they behave in very stressful and dangerous situations really defines their character. Take President Trump, for example: he's been relentlessly attacked by his own government, but he's still standing tall and strong. He even shrugged off an assassination attempt. This shows his resilience and ability to rise to the challenge no matter what is thrown at him.
Can you say the same about the scum of humanity working in our media? Of course not. Which brings us to this incredibly despicable latest story.
Today's question is this: Why would a respectable, professional, serious American company legitimize Sharia Law? It's actually a trick question. A truly respectable, professional, serious American company would never do that, but CNN would. And they did it while trying to get out of a billion dollar defamation lawsuit against them.
This lawsuit could be the end of CNN, once and for all.

“Fake news aficionado Jake Tapper is at the center of this defamation lawsuit.
CNN could be forced to pay up to $1 billion in a defamation lawsuit over a report about a military veteran who decided to help people flee Afghanistan when Joe Biden's regime withdrew from the country on 2021 that aired on host Jake Tapper's show.
The news came just ahead of the network's June 27, 2024, presidential debate between Biden and Donald Trump, NewsBusters reported. Tapper is expected to moderate with co-anchor Dana Bash.
This month, a Florida appeals court said U.S. Navy veteran Zachary Young and his company, Nemex Enterprises Inc., could seek punitive damages over the Afghanistan story. Young said CNN inappropriately suggested he was an illegal profiteer.
Vel Freedman, Young's attorney, said Young lost $40 million to $60 million in economic opportunities and could get up to $600 million if a jury awards him emotional damages. In the end, CNN could be forced to pay Young $1 billion, if punitive damages were included.
According to the suit, CNN destroyed Young's reputation and business after the network's correspondent Alex Marquardt published the report on Young. Tapper introduced the segment by talking about a “black market” with demands for “exorbitant fees” and “no guarantee of safety or success,” the news source added.
Now, in a desperate attempt to stay afloat, CNN is now invoking the “defense of Sharia law.” They are actually legitimizing (and defending) Sharia law, which routinely abuses women, sometimes to the point of death, in an effort to try and win this billion dollar lawsuit. In the process, they also brand the Navy vet at the center of the defamation suit as a “criminal” for trying to save women's lives.
What is the most ridiculous and desperate thing CNN could do to try to get the billion dollar libel suit against them out of the way?
That's it: CNN cites Sharia law for innocence in defamation lawsuit, argues Navy vet is criminal for saving womenOne of the opening lines of CNN's latest presentation argues that Zachary Young, in helping to lift women out of Taliban oppression, carried out “activities he orchestrated and financed that involved moving women out of the 'Afghanistan, they were almost certainly illegal under Taliban rule.'
CNN goes on to argue that they were right to suggest that Young was a criminal in their allegedly defamatory report, because “In order to get the women out, the operators on the ground had to break the law directly or find someone to break the law for them.”
CNN listed a number of illegal activities Young was allegedly guilty of: “avoiding the Taliban,” “mak[ing] passed Taliban checkpoints” and keeping “people hidden from the Taliban,” meaning all activities that were illegal in Afghanistan at the time.”
A CNN spokesperson told me: “Young objects to CNN referring to conditions on the ground as a black market. Acknowledging the state of local law is a necessary part of the legal analysis. There is no there is no bona fide reading of CNN's presentation that would support such a false, reckless and malicious characterization.”

In case you're still wondering, no, CNN is not the “good guys”.
Just when you think CNN has hit rock bottom, they pull a rabbit out of their hat and outdo themselves. This has to be by far one of his lowest and most desperate moments.
