Individual 1: " Can’t believe how badly [@CNN](https://twitter.com/CNN) has done in the newly released TV ratings. They are so far below [@FoxNews](https://twitter.com/FoxNews) (thank you President Trump!) that you can barely find them. Fredo should be given a big pay cut! MSDNC also did poorly. As I have long said, Fake News does not pay!!!" CNN’s response: This is exhausting. But [@PressSec](https://twitter.com/PressSec) says you can read and also consume intelligence verbally. So consider reading this or asking one of your staffers to read it aloud to you: Q2 of 2020 was the Most-Watched Quarter in CNN’s 40 Year History: [https://cnn.it/3dMDLrh](https://t.co/H57NoOhk0V?amp=1) > ---

And CNN is doing so poorly in the ratings that Trump’s campaign has been buying advertising time on CNN. So, according to the CFSG’s logic, fake news doesn’t pay. Instead, he’s paying fake news. ---

Here we go again with another deranged full-on racist tweet. As usual, trump gets the facts wrong-- Bubba Wallace did not even report the noose. Also, whether the loop was meant to look like a noose or it was a misunderstanding (and it sure did look like a noose) it wasn’t a lie that it existed, so it’s not a “HOAX” : > “Has @BubbaWallace apologized to all of those great NASCAR drivers & officials who came to his aid, stood by his side, & were willing to sacrifice everything for him, only to find out that the whole thing was just another HOAX? That & Flag decision has caused lowest ratings EVER!” ---

I’ve noticed that Trump and his Trumpists don’t seem to really understand what the word “hoax” means. ---

It seems they think it means anything they don’t understand. Which is a lot. ---

It’s simply easiest to assume anything un-indicted co-conspirator Donald John Trump says is false, either through ignorance or malice (no bonus for both at this point) and move forward from there. ---

The strategy seems to think that by fulling embracing the Bonnie Blue Flag while singing Dixie and Way Down Upon the Swanee River, he’ll gain more secret Confederacy fans than he’ll lose. Go for it, Donnie. You keep playing that 4-D chess. ---

Which is a lot. Oh, I think they understand very well the things they call a hoax. But they are things that are inexplicable except in the most ugly terms. I mean, they can’t really go around saying, “We’re racist fucks who don’t want to give up our white privilege, and we think this works for us,” can they? ---

Grandpa’s being racist on twitter again: > They name teams out of STRENGTH, not weakness, but now the Washington Redskins & Cleveland Indians, two fabled sports franchises, look like they are going to be changing their names in order to be politically correct.
