Why would I choose to elect someone that spits propaganda?
Because the president has powers to affect government, CNN does not.
While most people with an interest in the history of CIA will have heard of “Operation Mockingbird,” which weaponized the press for propaganda purposes through the “Office of Policy Coordination,” there is another side to the program that’s much less well-known.
A declassified memo from 1965 reveals a network of journalists that regularly received intelligence from Ray S. Cline, one of CIA’s senior analysts and at that time the Deputy Director of the Directorate of Intelligence.
Several of these journalists were former intelligence officers and were not only involved in information and propaganda dissemination, but other ongoing CIA operations.
The September 17 memo framed the eight years of unofficial press contacts with the Agency’s chief analyst as being conducted for the Agency’s benefit. By improving the press’ understanding and the Agency’s rapport with the press, the memo claimed that Cline had served the Agency’s interests and not his own.
A newly discovered memo from two weeks earlier, dated September 2, suggests an alternative explanation: a reporter had attempted to use his unreported relationship as a form of graymail (blackmail involving secret information) to coerce information from the Assistant to the Director of CIA.
You might as well not vote then. There is little to judge a candidate by, except for their past behavior and unfulfilled promises.
Do you honestly believe that? I don't take you for a fool, but I think you need to learn a little history about the FBI and CIA's involvement in our foreign and domestic media. To be included in an upcoming thread:

I've gotten up the nerve to watch a few minutes of his speech and all I hear is a politician playing himself up like every other politician that came before him. He's anything but "different".

Sorry, but your assessment is inaccurate. Look at this list of accomplishments...in just 6, yes SIX months! Just wow!
As of 7.20.2017 : www.thegatewaypundit.com... will-be-great-again/
That's more any prior President... Republican or Democrat.
NOW... Could Hillary have done maybe 25% as much? No way! (Anemic. Sickly. Boozer...we've all seen it.)
