CNN denouncing FSD and Tesla

[drdumont]

Has anyone seen the ad (ad? news story? don't know) on CNN demonizing Tesla and FSD? I am definitely not interested in FSD, but this shows some mook explaining how Tesla's FSD is killing people every day, and shows several staged incidents of the same white Tesla running over traffic cones and cutouts of people. He of ourse is wearing all white.
The tag line is something like "Contact Washington, Tesla must be stopped!".
This crap ran in the middle of the morning news 8/9/2022 about 0915.
Even more reason to eschew CNN.
"Journalism", my butt.

If its an ad, how is it any different from political ads that stations HAVE to accept?
If its an ad, how are you equating an ad to journalism?

We need answers..

I mean, CNN has been known to entirely fabricate stories before if it suits them (or more likely suits someone who has paid them). They're sadly far from unique with this in today's media landscape, and it really isn't anything new... unfortunately though, many people don't know this.

True. And Not unlike the reason why Fox is facing a 1.6 billion lawsuit (judge rejected Fox's motion to dismiss) from Dominion Voting as well as Newsmax and OAN, also facing billion dollar lawsuits from Dominion Voting.

This is some next level contrived outrage. I think it's ridiculous when people don't understand the difference between editorial and news content. Now people don't know what a paid advertisement is?

I heard they were purchased by some dude that went by @2101Guy on the interwebs

I suspect the title is in error. This sounds like an ad from the same guy who took out a NYT(?) ad for the same purpose. As I recall, he's got a software company beholden to other AV companies.

Basically impossible to tell it's an ad.
Not sure how they can say it indiscriminately mows down children, all the children in the video are white.

Don’t say retard. It makes people spaz out

 

[nvx1977]

Don’t say retard. It makes people spaz out

it was used as a verb. it's the noun form that is the spaz-out form.

What an amazing country

What an amazing country

At least we get FSD beta. The EU will never even get an automated way to indiscriminately mow down children.

Whatever CNN say doesn't bother me. I've quit listening or watching any news around November 2021, that's also when I got my Model S. I'm much happier now...not sure what to attribute that to but I take it. It's like reading about how bad alcohol is for your brain...best choice to make is to quit reading.

Is this one of those cases like a rotary phone where young people don't know how it works?

Did you stumble upon a TV at the airport, and you're not familiar with how Advertisements work on Live TV?

This thread needs to be verified and corrected if wrong. If this is an advertisement, which it sounds like then it has NOTHING to do with CNN or any other network. Hard to believe the OP is conflating and combining advertisements with network produced content. Guess ABC is promoting hemorrhoids since they have Preparation-H ads.

It also means Hulu promotes gender stereotypes

Forhims because all that matters for males is sexual performance
Forhers because women suffer from mental health issues

I do think its a bit messed up that forhims and forhers is actually the same parent company.

its kinda like the post near the end of this thread where the news quote was clearly altered by @CaptUAL to state that the driver that killed the people was a black person. Taking liberty with "the news" is the thing du jour

Really, maybe BBC, any news?
